Synopsis

Setting

InJujutsu Kaisen,all living beings emanate energy called Cursed Energy(Chú lực,Juryoku),which arises from negative emotions that naturally flow throughout the body. Ordinary people cannot control this flow in their bodies. As a result, they continually lose Cursed Energy, resulting in the birth of Curses(Chú い,Noroi),a race of spiritual beings whose primary desire is to bring harm to humanity. These Curses are shown as gruesome monsters:onryō(vengeful spirit),yūrei(ghosts), andyōkai.

Jujutsu Sorcerers(Chú thuật sư,Jujutsushi,lit."Cursed Technique Masters" or "Shamans" )are people who control the flow of Cursed Energy in their bodies, allowing them to use it as they please and also to reduce its release. High-ranking Sorcerers and Curses can refine this energy and use it to perform Cursed Techniques(Chú thuật thức,Jujutsushiki),which tend to be unique to the user or their family. An advanced form of Cursed Technique is Domain Expansion(Lĩnh vực triển khai,Ryōiki Tenkai),which the users build a pocket dimension of variable size. Inside the Domain, all of their attacks are guaranteed to hit and will grow in strength.

Plot

Yuji Itadoriis an unnaturally physically strong high school student living inSendai.On his deathbed in June 2018, his grandfather instills two powerful messages within Yuji: "always help others" and "die surrounded by people". Yuji's friends at the Occult Club attract Curses to their school when they unseal a rotten finger talisman. Yuji swallows the finger to protect Jujutsu SorcererMegumi Fushiguro,becoming host to a powerful ancient sorcerer namedRyomen Sukuna.Due to Sukuna's evil nature, all sorcerers are required to exorcise him (and, by extension, Yuji) immediately. However upon seeing Yuji retaining control over his body, Megumi's teacherSatoru Gojobrings him to the Tokyo Prefectural Jujutsu High School with a proposal to his superiors: postpone Yuji'sdeath sentenceand train under Gojo until he consumes all 20 of Sukuna's fingers so the Curse can be eliminated. At the same time, a group of Cursed Spirits plot a multi-layered attack on the world of Jujutsu sorcery, including the Cursed Spirit Mahito and a corrupted sorcerer namedSuguru Geto,who was executed by Gojoa year prior.

Gojo partners Yuji and Megumi with fellow first-year Tokyo studentNobara Kugisaki,training them to become sorcerers, but during a mission gone wrong, Sukuna gains full control of Yuji's body, so Yuji allows the both of them to die. Despite this, Sukuna brings Yuji back to life, having grown an interest in Megumi. Aware the Jujutsu high-ups intend to kill Yuji, Gojo keeps his resurrection a secret to continue training him. On a mission with experienced Jujutsu Sorcerer Kento Nanami, Yuji meets fellow student Junpei Yoshino, who falls victim to Mahito's manipulations, leading Yuji to swear vengeance.

Gojo reveals Yuji being alive during the exchange event between the Tokyo and Kyoto Jujutsu schools. The Kyoto school's principal wants Yuji dead immediately so he schemes to get it done, while the Tokyo students help Yuji. During the event, Cursed Spirits attack the schools, but are fought off by Yuji, Gojo, and third-year Kyoto student Aoi Todo, though Mahito steals three "Death Paintings" (half-human half-Curses), and summons them.

After Yuji is able to consume several of Sukuna's fingers and kill two of the Death Paintings with Nobara's help, disfigured second-year Kyoto student Kokichi Muta, who controls the Cursed Corpse Mechamaru, is revealed to be a mole working with Geto and Mahito. Muta betrays them to protect his friends, only to be killed by Mahito. On Halloween, the Cursed Spirits unleash their ultimate plan by releasing several barriers overShibuya.Gojo exorcises various Cursed Spirits, but is sealed away by Geto in a special artifact, the Prison Realm. The events also reveal that the current Geto is not the original but rather Geto's corpse possessed by an ancient sorcerer named Kenjaku.

Yuji and his allies face Kenjaku's forces in order to rescue Gojo. Yuji faces Choso, the third Death Painting sibling, and is defeated, only to be spared due to Choso receiving a vision revealing they are brothers. The Cursed Spirit Jogo force-feeds Yuji ten fingers, re-awakening Sukuna, who kills Jogo and destroys a massive portion of the city. Mahito kills Nanami and mortally wounds Nobara, but with the help of Todo, Yuji is able to defeat him. Kenjaku absorbs Mahito, and using his Cursed Technique, re-awakens thousands of new sorcerers throughout Japan that Kenjaku had been planting for thousands of years, as well as unleashing a slew of Curses to usher in chaos a world of Cursed Spirits reminiscent of theHeian period,the prime period of Jujutsu Sorcerers.

In the aftermath, the Jujutsu higher-ups sentence Yuji to death, with second-year studentYuta Okkotsuappointed as his executioner, but Yuta helps Yuji fake his death. Yuji and Megumi team up with Yuta and experienced sorcerer Yuki Tsukumo, both being special grade Jujutsu Sorcerers, along with Choso and second-year studentMaki Zen'into meet Master Tengen, an immortal, part-Curse part-human Jujutsu Sorcerer. Tengen reveals Kenjaku's plan to merge the former's consciousness with Japan's human population using "the Culling Games", a battle royale between all the awakened sorcerers to accumulate a massive amount of Cursed Energy allowing him to achieve this goal.

Maki goes to the Zen'in compound to collect Cursed Tools to assist in the fight, but is forced to kill her entire clan when they lay a trap for her. Meanwhile, Yuji, Yuta, Megumi, second-year student Panda, and third-year student Kinji Hakari, seek out a mysterious woman named "Angel" who can free Gojo from the Prison Realm, as well as find a way to rescue Megumi's step-sister, Tsumiki, from participating in the Games.

The group discovers Angel and that the Culling Games serve its purpose in acquiring a surplus of Cursed Energy for Kenjaku's plans; he succeeds in killing Yuki and capturing Tengen. They then learn that Tsumiki has become a host for a reincarnated sorcerer, and Sukuna uses this opportunity to execute his ultimate plan: taking control of Megumi's body. He succeeds, kills Tsumiki, and regroups with Kenjaku. The main group are able to use Angel's power to free Gojo from the Prison Realm. Gojo, now unsealed, agrees with Sukuna and Kenjaku to fight on December 24.

Gojo faces off against Sukuna and Megumi's Ten Shadows, managing to beat them, however, Sukuna survives and slices Gojo in half, killing him. The rest of the sorcerers, including Yuji (who, with Choso's approval, consumed the remaining Death Paintings), soon join in the battle, with Sukuna reviving himself to his true form in the process. Meanwhile, as Kenjaku is tracking down the remaining Culling Game players, he is confronted by Fumihiko Takaba, an unexpectedly powerful sorcerer that proves as an effective distraction, allowing Yuta to catch him off guard and decapitate him, though not before he adds a rule that allows Sukuna to become the Culling Games' master.

Yuta goes to assist Yuji, who is struggling against Sukuna, and tells Sukuna he used his last finger to copy Sukuna's Cursed Technique. Yuta and Yuji attempt to remove Sukuna from Megumi, but fail. Maki, the second year instructor Kusakabe, and Yuta's mentor Miguel all attempt to fight Sukuna, but are overpowered. In a flashback, it is revealed that Sukuna ate his twin brother a thousand years ago in the womb because he was starving. Kenjaku then managed to get the soul of Sukuna's twin brother and "made" Jin Itadori, Yuji's father, technically making Jin Sukuna's twin brother and Yuji his nephew, establishing a connection between Yuji's potential and Sukuna's. In the present, Yuji is able to match Sukuna, forcing the latter to use the same flames he used against Jogo. Choso sacrifices himself to protect Yuji, with the latter being quickly joined by Todo. Yuji and Todo quickly overpower Sukuna, with Yuji impaling Sukuna's chest. As Sukuna attempts to use his Domain Expansion, he is stopped by an apparently revived Gojo. However, Gojo is still dead; Yuta used Kenjaku's Cursed Technique to switch bodies with Gojo. Yuji, Yuta, Todo, and Angel overwhelm Sukuna, and Yuji opens his own Domain Expansion to finish him off. Within the Domain, Yuji takes Sukuna on a journey throughout his hometown, before stating he will kill Sukuna if he does not release Megumi. Sukuna refuses and continues fighting while Yuji converses with Megumi's soul, sparking Megumi's resolve to fight back. Sukuna realizes this and attempts to use his Domain Expansion. However, he soon makes a connection with his 20th finger and realizes the one of the missing fingers on Yuji is not the one that he took to possess Megumi. It is then revealed that Yuta actually used one of Yuji's instead. Meanwhile, Nobara arrives where Gojo hid Sukuna's last finger and uses it to attack Sukuna's soul. Yuji then hits a Black Flash on Sukuna which has an extreme effect on him, turning the tide of the fight towards victory for the Jujutsu Sorcerers. Megumi manages to successfully free himself as Yuji defeats Sukuna.

Critical reception

Douresseaux praised the series for its characters, plots, settings, and internal mythology, and described it as a "combination battle manga and horror comic book".[131]Shawn Hacaga ofThe Fandom Post,in his review of the first volume, compared the series to earlyBleachand praised it for its world, lore, characters and artwork, concluding that it is a "solid first volume".[132]Hannah Collins ofCBRfound parallels betweenYujiandSukunaandMarvel ComicscharactersEddie BrockandVenom.She also noted similarities toBleach,Blue ExorcistandTokyo Ghoul.Collins commended the manga and, regarding its then recently announced anime adaptation, concluded thatJujutsu Kaisenis a "darkly enjoyable action series that's sure to be one to watch out for in 2020".[133]Rebecca Silverman ofAnime News Networkranked the first volume as a C. Silverman praised the series' use of Japanese folklore andyōkaielements, comparing this and Akutami's art style toShigeru Mizuki'sGeGeGe no Kitarō,but criticized the story for being "very generic". She concluded, "It has the potential to be more as Akutami gets more comfortable with the serialization process and figures out precisely where the story is going, so it may be worth a second book to be certain. But as of this one, it's just okay, making it the kind of series that gets damned with faint praise".[134]Azusa Takahashi ofReal Soundpraised its storytelling, setting and "surprising" story development, also noting similarities to other works likeBleach,Ushio & ToraorNeon Genesis Evangelion,stating, however, that the series is not only a homage to popular works centered on the battle development, but that it has a "clever composition that sublimates into originality, so you have to be absorbed in it."[135]
