Jujutsu Kaisen (呪術廻戦) is originally a Japanese manga series, which
has been running since March 2018 and is written and illustrated by
Gege Akutami. In October 2020 the first season of the anime adaptation,
with 24 episodes, was released. Unlike other anime adaptations of
popular Manga, like Tokyo Ghoul, Jujutsu Kaisen follows the exact
storyline of the Manga. What also sets it apart from other adaptations
is that it was released so quickly after the release of the Manga.
The story follows high school student Yuji Itadori as he joins a secret
organization of Jujutsu Sorcerers in order to kill a powerful Curse
named Ryomen Sukuna, of whom Yuji becomes the host.
In an effort to save two of his classmates Yuji is forced to consume a piece of the most powerful Curse,
named Ryomen Sukuna. Due to this, a secret organization of Jujutsu Sorcerers give him two options: to either be executed on the spot or be killed after he’s consumed the Rest of Sukuna.
But will Yuji be able to control the most powerful Curse of them all, as they both fight for control over his body? And will he be able to find and consume all of Sukuna who is also being sought after by other Curses?
