Plot summary

Serving as a prequel to the mainline series, Jujutsu Kaisen 0 follows Yuta Okkotsu and his journey into Jujutsu High. Yuta is brought to Jujutsu High due to his childhood friend, Rika, becoming a curse and causing trouble for him while she follows him around.

Satoru Gojo notices Yuta and his situation, resulting in Gojo bringing Okkotsu to Jujutsu High to learn more about and break the curse. This is where Jujutsu Kaisen 0’s story begins, as Yuta tries to break free from Rika’s curse in a short time.

The canon film also ties into the mainline series, further endearing it to fans everywhere for both its quality and relevance.
