My first thought after leaving Jujutsu Kaisen 0 is that the price and trip to see it in theatres wasn’t worth it. In many ways, the movie is perfect if you know what youâre getting into and if you love the manga, because the movie’s very faithful to it.

To prepare for the movie, I reread Jujutsu Kaisen 0 the manga, which was released before Jujutsu Kaisen (the manga). Jujutsu Kaisen 0 follows Yuta Okkotsu, a boy whoâs haunted by his childhood friend, Rika. Her cursed spirit captures the attention of jujutsu sorcerers, who sentence Yuta to be executed since they fear her being too powerful and uncontrollable (sounds pretty familiar). Yutaâs journey to break Rika’s curse sets him in the path of many dangerous characters, including Geto Suguru, an evil sorcerer intent on destroying humanity.
