Jujutsu Kaisen 0 (film)
Originally intended as an arc of the animated television series Jujutsu Kaisen, studio MAPPA changed the format of it during discussion. The staff decided to expand the narrative from that of the original manga by adding new scenes focused on Yuta's mentor Satoru Gojo and the antagonist Suguru Geto. King Gnu performed the two theme songs. Given the large budget for the movie, MAPPA aimed to make more appealing fight sequences than the ones from the animated television series.
Jujutsu Kaisen 0 was released in Japan on December 24, 2021, by Toho. Upon its release, the film received positive reviews for its accessible storytelling, the animated fight sequences, and soundtrack. However, it was also criticized for its short length, as some characters felt underdeveloped when compared to the lead. It was the highest-grossing film at the Japanese box office in 2021, and took $196.2 million worldwide.
Plot
High school student Yuta Okkotsu is frequently bullied, but one day his bullies are gravely injured by a Cursed Spirit that clings to him. The higher-ups of the Jujutsu Society wish to have the boy killed, as his curse is a dangerous spirit. However, a teacher at Tokyo Jujutsu Technical High, Satoru Gojo, recruits Yuta to join the school in November 2016, thus saving him. Yuta explains that the Cursed Spirit is Rika, a childhood friend whom he had promised to marry when they grew up. Rika died in a freak accident and became an overprotective spirit that harms anyone who threatens him. Yuta meets fellow students Maki Zen'in, Toge Inumaki, and Panda, all with distinct abilities of their own.
During his first mission with Maki, Yuta successfully summons Rika on his own for the first time to save them from a Cursed Spirit. Three months pass in his school training, and he grows close to Maki, Toge, and Panda. One day, on a mission together, Toge and Yuta are attacked by a high-level Curse. The man behind the attack was Suguru Geto, a previous student and old friend of Gojo, who defected from the school and killed over a hundred innocent people on a mission.
Geto attempts to get Yuta on his side so they can make use of Rika, but Yuta refuses when he insults Yuta's friends due to unsettled circumstances. Geto declares war to activate a portal to the under-world: he will release a thousand Curses upon the city to remove non-sorcerer humans, as he believes them to be undeserving and beneath sorcerers. Geto's real reason for the war, however, is to distract Gojo so he can kill Yuta and add Rika to his collection of cursed spirits. Gojo realizes this upon learning of Yuta's background, and sends Inumaki and Panda back to the school to protect Yuta and Maki during the night of Geto's attack. Geto overpowers them all, leaving only Yuta conscious. Enraged at seeing his friends hurt, Yuta promises himself as a sacrifice to Rika in order to strengthen their bond. As a result, Geto is severely wounded. He is found by Gojo, who after reflecting on their past friendship, executes him.
Gojo confirms that Yuta was the one who inadvertently cursed Rika through un-specified ties to royal bloodlines within the hierarchy of Japan's caste system, rather than the other way around, by being unable to accept her death. Yuta broke the curse after promising himself to Rika, and she is able to pass on peacefully after Yuta continues training as a sorcerer within the institution.
In a post-credits scene, Geto's former ally Miguel eats lunch with Yuta in Kenya, and Gojo comes to join them.

Production
Jujutsu Kaisen 0 is a prequel to the Jujutsu Kaisen television anime by studio MAPPA and based on the manga of the same name by manga artist Gege Akutami. Sunghoo Park originally wanted to protagonist Yuta Okkotsu from the first few episodes of the TV series. However, the idea was scrapped and the anime began, with Yuji Itadori's introduction to the world of sorcerers and curses similar based on the Jujutsu Kaisen manga. In the original format, Park would adapt the series' first three episodes to develop Yuji and then replace him with Okkotsu, but that idea was discarded. Park later felt that telling the Jujutsu Kaisen prequel would fit the movie format more than a television series. Seko commented that, for the movie to fill two hours, he would need to add new material, such as Okkotsu's past and the relationship between Gojo and Geto. Seko said that the action scenes of Akutami's manga are the most important part of that series, he wanted to focus on them in the movie. Park agreed and added elements of Chinese movies to the film, which he wanted fans to look forward to.
With the eventual remake as a film, MAPPA produced the film with director Sunghoo Park, and writer Hiroshi Seko returning from the TV series to work on it. Character designs were handled by Tadashi Hiramatsu. The film was announced after the Jujutsu Kaisen anime television series finale in March 2021. While the television series was noted for having entertaining fight scenes, the team wanted to improve them. While not too different from the television series, Park aimed to make the film have its own style, such as the background colors when the sky is shown. Park noted there were multiple challenges in making the animated movie, when compared with his experience with live-actions, due to the amount of animation needed.
Park said that the movie would include new content not featured in the original Jujutsu Kaisen 0 manga. This was mainly because the movie was based on a single manga volume, and the team aimed to make a long film rather than a thirty-minute work. MAPPA CEO Manabu Otsuka said that the team was impressed by the original Jujutsu Kaisen 0 and believed the fans would like to see it adapted. Seko said he had to alter the parts from the original series to make Yuta's character arc more notable. The post-credits scene of the movie is an original scene not present in the manga. Toho had doubts about creating such content until they contacted Akutami who gave them the idea.
Park wanted to be careful to give an appropriate facial expression to each character when fighting. He considers the new protagonist, Yuta Okkotsu, as a representative teenager possessed by loneliness, in this case caused by being beset by Rika's curse. Due to Jujutsu Kaisen 0 being a film, Park aimed to give it an appropriate environment, most notably Jujutsu High, where Yuta starts exorcising demons with his teammates. Several animators were not accustomed to drawing pictures in a cinemascope frame; but still they were able to draw wider scenery and backgrounds beautifully, and felt satisfied that they were able to create the world of the franchise for the audience.
The inclusion of Gojo was to be seen as natural by the staff, especially focusing on his relationship with Geto, which is also explored in the television series. However, Park claimed the staff did not want to give such characters too much screen time, due to how the narrative primarily focuses on Yuta and Rika. Another addition to the movie, not present in the original work, was the four consecutive Black Flashes that Nanami mentioned in an interview in the TV series. Seko was requested by the director to feature in the climax a new fight scene between Gojo and Miguel. Seko said that the team expanded Yuta and Geto's final fight by adding a scene where the latter vomits blood.
Japanese casting
- In casting Megumi Ogata, Gege Akutami envisioned the character as "neutral, soft, and kind, and there is also a big emotional swing and head." Ogata's name was mentioned as an example of an actor close to that, and in response to that, the director Sunghoo Park and the anime staff unanimously decided to cast her. Ogata herself said she would like to cherish the original image as well as create her own image of Yuta. Ogata describes him as an attractive character due to how strong he becomes when interacting with others. Sunghoo Park was also behind the casting of Yuta's voice actor, although Yuta was now a young male voiced by a woman. Ogata surprised Park in the making of the movie by giving Yuta a sensitive characterization in crying.
- Kana Hanazawa was cast to voice Rika. She wanted to audition, as she was a fan of the original anime and television series. The story of Rika's childhood left a major impression on Hanazawa, who looked forward to interacting with Ogata. Hanazawa enthusiastically expressed Rika's love for Yuta, and Ogata praised Hanazawa's work.
- Mikako Komatsu was cast to voice Maki Zen'in. Komatsu noted that certain scenes involving Yuta's romance were too erotic for the movie, while Ogata found the early Yuta to be slapstick. Her character design was noted to be different from the one previously seen in other Jujutsu Kaisen works. Komatsu enjoyed her more comical take as Maki, who often has arguments with Panda and other students, as the character is a year younger than in the television series. She noted an early scene in the moviem where Maki and Yuta interact in a way that helps to develop the former's characterization and past as Maki's backstory is given.
- Koichi Yamadera voices Miguel, a Curse master who supports Geto.
- Tomokazu Seki, another veteran voice actor, played the role of a Panda. Despite feeling pressure about his work, Seki was glad to work in the movie. Seki had little-to-no understanding of his character, due to how comical and simple he is shown in contrast to the more elaborate characterizations from the rest of the cast. Park told Seki that he is like a father to the movie, but Seki still did not understand Panda, even when interacting with Nakamura, to the point he wished Gege Akutami had explored the character more. Nevertheless, Seki claims he is good at the fighting scenes, which would surprise the audience.
- Kōki Uchiyama voices Toge Inumaki. He did not see a major difference between his character and other classmates. He saw their interactions with newcomer Yuta Okkotsu as the main attraction of the film. Inumaki's lines are limited, since he uses keywords relating to food to interact. Uchiyama gives subtle nuances to most of his lines and has said that he tries placing emphasis on the amount of emotion he can provide, in order to capture Inumaki's mostly silent character.
- Yuichi Nakamura voices the returning character Satoru Gojo. The character has different facial expressions, from the serious to the comical, and Nakamura was given latitude regarding the vocal range used. Nakamura reiterated at the recording site that he enjoyed the comedy. He did not find a change in Gojo's characterization from the main Jujutsu Kaisen series, and thought Gojo's mentoring of Yuta similar to that for the other protagonists. He enjoyed the multiple recording takes he had, as well as the many school-like relationships. He was impressed by Ogata's work as Yuta, in giving the character a wide range of emotions.
- Takahiro Sakurai voices the antagonist Suguru Geto. He was amazed by "how cool the protagonists" of the movie are. Sakurai read the original Jujutsu Kaisen 0, before recording the movie, which surprised him with a major revelation about Geto. He received lectures from the director during the recording of the movie. Among multiple traits of the character, Sakurai was surprised by the friendly relationship between Geto and Gojo. Although it was the first time Geto and Yuta interacted, Sakurai had already worked with Ogata multiple times and praised her work, as he found her portrayal of Yuta to be deep.
Music
King Gnu performed the film's theme song "Ichizu" (一途, lit. 'The Only Way'), as well as the ending song "Sakayume" (逆夢, lit. 'Contradictory Dream'). "Ichizu" puts the focus on the relationship between Yuta and Rika. Vocalist, guitarist, and writer Daiki Tsuneta stated that there was pressure to make the ideal masterpiece that the audience has been waiting for, but Tsuneta thinks that it was a straight song with a tingling and punch that is perfect for the world view of Jujutsu Kaisen. "Ichizu" and "Sakayume" were released on a single CD on December 29, 2021.
The music for the film was composed by Hiroaki Tsutsumi, Yoshimasa Terui, and Alisa Okehazama. The soundtrack was released on December 22, 2021 by Toho Animation.
Marketing
The film was announced in March 2021 in the credits of the final Jujutsu Kaisen episode of the first season of the television series. In June 2021, the "Juju Fes 2021" MAPPA revealed to the audience the first poster of Yuta and Rika, with Akutami himself drawing his own rendition to celebrate. In the first teaser in July, it was revealed that Yuta was being voiced by Megumi Ogata, and Kana Hanazawa's role as Rika was revealed shortly afterwards. In promoting the movie, advertisements with Gojo as a dog were made alongside SoftBank Group.
A novel adaptation by Baraddo Kitaguni, based on Hiroshi Seko's script, was published on the film's premiere date. A Jujutsu Kaisen #0.5 Tokyo Prefectural Jujutsu High School booklet was given to the film's audience members; it had a print run of 5 million copies. The booklet included an exclusive nine-page manga by Akutami, about the daily life of Okkotsu and the other first-year students, thumbnail layouts for the first chapter of the Jujutsu Kaisen 0 manga, the film's designs, a question-and-answer session with Akutami, and comments by the anime's staff and cast of the film.
Release
Theatrical
Distributed by Toho, the film premiered theatrically in Japan on December 24, 2021, in 418 theaters, with some IMAX screenings. The film was screened in 4D and Dolby Cinema formats in Japan starting on February 5, 2022. The film ended its run in Japanese theaters on May 29, 2022.
Crunchyroll, in association with Funimation, acquired rights to the film, which theatrically premiered in North America on March 18, 2022, in over 1,500 theaters. The film had an early screening in the United Kingdom and Ireland on March 10, 2022, while the general opening in the UK was on March 18. The film is distributed by Sony in the United Kingdom.
The film's English-language-dubbed version included returning actors for Yuta's teammates, with the most notable newcomers being Kayleigh McKee as Yuta and Anairis Quiñones as Rika. McKee saw Yuta's story as a coming-of-age story, due to his need to control Rika while making friends. Anairis Quiñones took notes of Hanakawa's style when recording her take of Rika in the English dub. Allegra Clark saw Maki as a more vulnerable and angry character than in the television series, but found the character changed in the course of the narrative. The group worked to make the audio faithful to that of the original Japanese cast, based on the casting director's ideas. Matthew David Rudd, the voice of Panda, said that the inclusion of his character was a "baller" moment. On the other hand, Xander Mobus had little-to-no idea what was going through Inumaki's mind, since the character speaks only random words. However, Clark, Rudd, and Mobus stated that their characters were well developed in their interactions with Yuta. Lex Lang felt that Geto was more appealing in the film than in the anime, as the movie delves into Geto's idealism. Meanwhile, Kaiji Tang found Gojo to be similar to the anime incarnation, though in the film his relationship with Geto has more depth.
Medialink licensed the film to be shown in Southeast Asia, China, Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, and India; that company itself handled the distribution in Chinese-speaking areas, while Purple Plan handled the distribution for most parts of Southeast Asia. The film premiered in South Korea in February 2022, while in Malaysia, the film premiered on March 10, 2022, exclusively at TGV Cinemas. In India, the film was released on June 30, 2022, on 200 screens with 50,000 advance ticket sales across India.

The Blu-ray and DVD versions of the film were released in Japan on September 21, 2022.

Critical response
On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, the film has an approval of 98%, based on 53 reviews, with an average rating of 7.9/10. The site's consensus is "Jujutsu Kaisen 0: The Movie offers a thrilling, beautifully animated gift for fans of the anime – and a story that holds up as a standalone effort." Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned the film a score of 71 out of 100, based on 8 critics, indicating "generally favorable" reviews.
The film garnered positive responses from critics. Yuta's relationship with Rika's Curse was praised for giving the former a more unpredictable characterization and the horror provided by the latter though Anime News Network felt it stopped being the main focus of the film in later sequences. Movie news website We Got This Covered compared Yuta's Curse with themes of trauma, while Polygon instead saw a person not being able to accept the death of his friend. Anime UK News enjoyed the handling of Yuta's arc and how Gojo's character is explored more in depth in the film than in the original series. Siliconera and the Los Angeles Times, among others, praised the film for being accessible to every new viewer as, instead of focusing on the returning Itadori's group, it deals with newcomer Yuta, and the minor characters from the television series are also explored. Anime News Network felt that the film did not contain surprising changes to the story when compared with the television series. Otaku USA lamented the prequel story was only used for a movie, rather than a mini-series, as he saw the cast as likable enough to carry more screentime, with special focus on Geto, whose entire background and role make him an appealing villain. Polygon also enjoyed Geto's handling. The nature of Geto's survival confused the audience in the first season of the anime and IGN claimed that fans have to read the main anime series as the manga explains properly the nature of Suguru Geto once Gojo meets him again.
Polygon praised MAPPA's most appealing animation scenes, mainly those involving Yuta and Suguru Geto, and pointed out that they are superior to most of their past works such as The God of High School. Anime News Network enjoyed the handling of the fight scenes. IGN cited the designs of each Curse, as they give a striking impression, while also involving interesting sequences of movements. The Los Angeles Times agreed, citing some Curses as having bizarre appearances and that the violence might be too strong for a sensitive audience while returning audiences would not be disappointed by these sequences. Otaku USA also praised the fight scenes, citing fan-favorite Satoru Gojo's ones. Yatta-Tachi also applauded the animation, calling it "utterly superb" and "best key animated action cuts in anime". The Guardian enjoyed both the animation as well as how it mixes with the soundtrack in order to produce scenes composed of an "adrenaline-pumping showdown between good and evil, as a web of painstakingly detailed monsters of all kinds spring into gory action".
The cast was generally praised. Ogata's portrayal in Japanese of Yuta was acclaimed by Anime News Network and IGN for making the character stand out more in the movie than in the original manga: for example, when he changes from a calm tone, the portrayal of which was compared to her early portrayals of Shinji Ikari from Neon Genesis Evangelion, to a more aggressive tone, when there are elements of horror or action. Other actors praised included Komatsu for her performance as Maki, and Nakamura for Gojo. The Fandom Post compared McKee's voice work with that of Spike Spencer, who voiced Shinji in the English dub of the series, and wondered whether it was intentional. Hitc equally praised McKee, Ogata, and Hanazawa for making Yuta more appealing alongside Rika. Pop Culture Maniac was more negative about McKee's work for making Yuta sound childish rather than traumatized. Besides the soundtrack, the two main theme songs of the movie were the subject of positive responses by Anime UK News.
Accolades
In 2022, the film won the Animage's Anime Grand Prix poll, with Yuta and Gojo taking second and third best male characters awards, behind Tengen Uzui from Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba.
