Jujutsu Kaisen (呪術廻戦, rgh. "Sorcery Battle") [b] is a Japanese anime television series produced by MAPPA, based on the manga series of the same name by Gege Akutami.The story follows high school student Yuji Itadori as he joins a secret organization of Jujutsu Sorcerers to eliminate a powerful Curse named Ryomen Sukuna, of whom Yuji becomes the host.
An unexpected "Special Grade" Cursed Spirit attacks them. Yuji stays back to buy time while Megumi rescues Nobara and escapes. Yuji's left hand is torn off by the spirit, so he unleashes Sukuna to fight. Sukuna swiftly kills the Special Grade, regenerates Yuji's hand, and reclaims one of his fingers that was powering the curse.
Jogo proceeds to feed Yuji ten at once, bringing the total to fifteen fingers within him. The sudden influx of fingers causes Sukuna to awaken, temporarily in control of Yuji's body. The Hasabas ask Sukuna to kill the imposter inhabiting Geto's body, offering another finger's location as compensation.
Sukuna takes over Yuji's body, tearing off a finger and forcing Megumi to swallow it, thus leaving Yuji's body and incarnating into Megumi's. Sukuna kills Yorozu—and therefore Tsumiki—weakening Megumi's resolve so that his soul will neglect to fight Sukuna's possession. The main group unseals Gojo.
When Yuji is fed ten of Sukuna's fingers at once at Shibuya, Sukuna comes out and commits mass murder at Shibuya, while fighting Mahoraga. During the Culling Games, Sukuna seizes his opportunity by ripping off Yuji's pinky finger and force feeding it to Megumi allowing Sukana to transfer himself to possess Fushiguro's body, becoming his new vessel.
In contrast Yuji is often the subject of Sukuna. [31] James Beckett from Anime News Network and IGN criticized Yuji's role in the second season for coming across as a weak main character as most of the narrative relied on an assemble cast who kept dying or getting several wounds at the same time he fights.
The anime series was announced in the 52nd issue of Weekly Shōnen Jump published in November 2019. [1] 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, to which Yuji becomes host.
