Jujutsu Kaisen (2020)

Jujutsu Kaisen follows Yuji Itadori, a compassionate but ordinary teenager who gets pulled into a hidden world of curses and sorcery when he swallows a demon’s finger to save his friends. Becoming the reluctant vessel of the fearsome King of Curses, Sukuna, Yuji is taken to the Tokyo Metropolitan Jujutsu High, where young sorcerers train to hunt malignant spirits and contain cursed energy. Tasked with finding and consuming all of Sukuna’s scattered fingers so the demon can be fully exorcised, Yuji must balance the drive to protect others with the terrifying power living inside him. Watching the series, you’ll experience high-energy, tightly choreographed battle scenes and inventive supernatural combat that blend horror and adrenaline with striking animation. The tone shifts quickly between brutal, suspenseful encounters with grotesque curses and moments of dark humor, heartfelt friendship, and moral conflict. Characters — from stern mentors to quirky classmates — grow complex as they face loss, sacrifice, and the cost of wielding power. If you like fast-paced action, stylish animation, supernatural horror, and emotionally driven character arcs, Jujutsu Kaisen delivers a thrilling, often brutal ride that’s as thoughtful about consequence and duty as it is about spectacular fights. Expect visceral set pieces, smart worldbuilding, and a protagonist whose humanity anchors the series amid chaos. (Contains violence and mature themes.)
