Jujutsu Kaisen 0

Product Information

Geto's real reason for the war, however, is to distract Gojo so he can kill Yuta and add Rika to his collection of cursed spirits. That being said from some of the greatest animation studios MAPPA and Toho ,this movie raises the bar in many aspects during its runtime ,from the epic battles to the amazing soundtrack to some amazing heartwarming stories and cool characters with abilities that will melt your eyes out. In 2023, the film won three out of four categories including Best Film at the 7th Crunchyroll Anime Awards. During the month, Shueisha also released an alternative cover featuring Yuta and Yuji to connect it with the first volume of Jujutsu Kaisen.

Gojo realizes this upon learning of Yuta's background, and sends Inumaki and Panda back to the school to protect Yuta and Maki during the night of Geto's attack. Ogata's portrayal in Japanese of Yuta was acclaimed by Anime News Network and IGN for making the character stand out more in the movie than in the original manga: for example, when he changes from a calm tone, the portrayal of which was compared to her early portrayals of Shinji Ikari from Neon Genesis Evangelion, to a more aggressive tone, when there are elements of horror or action. Jujutsu Kaisen 0 revolves around the story of Yuta Okkotsu, a high-school student who is haunted by the cursed spirit of his childhood friend, Rika Orimoto. The film is the highest-earning film at the Japanese box office from 2021, surpassing Evangelion: 3. If you’re caught up with the manga (or don’t care about spoilers) then hi, and hello, let’s commence with discussing this fantastic prequel.

The booklet included an exclusive nine-page manga by Akutami, about the daily life of Okkotsu and the other first-year students, thumbnail layouts for the first chapter of the Jujutsu Kaisen 0 manga, the film's designs, a question-and-answer session with Akutami, and comments by the anime's staff and cast of the film. Fortunately, there exists a mysterious school of jujutsu sorcerers who exist to protect the precarious existence of the living from the supernatural! During a mission, Maki motivates Yuta to fight if he wants to be accepted, which causes him to briefly control Rika to destroy a Cursed Spirit. Connecting with the characters and their struggles seem much more real and causes much greater immersion.

Those friends are Panda, Maki, and Toge, and it’s really nice seeing that group of characters as first years students who are still learning the ropes. Sunghoo Park was also behind the casting of Yuta's voice actor, although Yuta was now a young male voiced by a woman.However, Clark, Rudd, and Mobus stated that their characters were well developed in their interactions with Yuta. The regular DVD sold 30,000 copies during its release week, while the deluxe edition sold 28,000 copies, with both topping charts and surpassing the record sales of the 2021 film My Hero Academia: World Heroes' Mission as the best-selling anime DVD of 2022 in its first week of release.

On the other hand, Xander Mobus had little-to-no idea what was going through Inumaki's mind, since the character speaks only random words. The man behind the attack was Suguru Geto, a previous student and old friend of Gojo's, who defected from the school and killed over a hundred innocent people on a mission. Gojo explains Rika did not curse Yuta; rather, when Rika died, Yuta accidentally cursed her using hidden energy he inherited from the figure Sugawara no Michizane, forcing her to remain by his side.However, Park claimed the staff did not want to give such characters too much screen time, due to how the narrative primarily focuses on Yuta and Rika. Akutami included a line about Michizane Sugawara, a famous figure in Japanese history who is mentioned as Yuta and Gojo's predecessor, as a tribute to a late editor Yamanaka. Later, when Gojo references Suguru Geto while talking to Yuta, his line is changed to make their relationship seem like nothing more than an old friendship. Should any demon consume Sukuna's body parts, the power they gain could destroy the world as we know it.
