Jujutsu Kaisen 0, as the name suggests, is a prequel introducing characters like Yuta and offering insight into other allies and foes. Which it is incredibly effective at accomplishing. He uses Yuta – who appears here as an entirely new person – as a window into the world of curses and wizards. As a result, it becomes a perfect introduction to the series while simultaneously providing new perspectives for people who follow the series.
Jujutsu Kaisen 0 is undoubtedly the story of Yuta Okkotsu and Rika Orimoto. It starts with us seeing his will to protect him in action as bullies come to attack him. They are all killed and he thinks he will isolate himself forever. But instead, following a meeting with the Jujutsu Society elders, Satoru Gojo brings him to Jujutsu High School. There, he joins the same class as Maki Zen’in, Toge Inumaki, and Panda.
In what is honestly a wise decision. While Yuta appears in Kaisen Jujutsu well, he’s not an immediate cast member. The nature of his curse means he is as new to the wizarding world as Yuji Itadori. It means that Jujutsu Kaisen 0 can effectively introduce its characters and world to newcomers. Yuta is our eyes. When he learns something, so do we.
The structure of Jujutsu Kaisen 0 The film initially feels like several episodes of a show put together, which also helps with accessibility and pacing. There is Yuta who arrives at school and leaves for a first mission with Maki. We see clues to Yuta and Rika’s background. We witness another mission with Yuta and Toge. This all leads to a big battle with the Night Parade of 100 Demons. Everything feels like an easily digestible part, to avoid information overload. At the same time, it’s all tied together, with the threads becoming more obvious once we reach the end.
But what is even more important is that Jujutsu Kaisen 0 made for the characters we already know. Chances are someone will come to the film with some knowledge of the show. In the main series, the early years at the school’s Tokyo branch, Yuji, Megumi Fushiguro, and Nobara Kugisaki, are the focus and stars. This film puts the Maki, Toge and Panda in the spotlight. We learn more about the abilities and background of Maki and Toge in particular. The one-on-one moments with Yuta and them not only allow him to identify with them, but the audience to get to know them better.
Jujutsu Kaisen 0 is also good for giving secondary characters a few minutes of their own. This mainly happens during the Night Parade of 100 Demons. Wizards and school staff from Tokyo and Kyoto show up for cameo appearances. In many cases, it’s a chance to offer support for what we already know about them and their abilities.
In short, the Jujutsu Kaisen 0 The film is effective in fleshing out Yuta and other characters for newcomers and people familiar with the series. The beat gives people a chance to find out more about Yuta, as well as his new classmates. First, this happens through individual settings. But then, once the viewer is assured of everyone’s growth, via a bigger battle that brings cameos from even more characters. It’s a handy and well-executed add-on.
Jujutsu Kaisen 0 will appear in theaters in the United States and Canada on March 18, 2022. It launched in Japan in December 2022. Viz Media handled the localization of the manga.
