Synopsis
Continues the story of Jujutsu Kaisen 0
Sixteen-year-old Yuuta Okkotsu is a timid student frequently targeted by bullies, plagued by violent outbursts from his monstrous curse, Rika Orimoto. Born from a traumatic past, this curse poses a lethal danger to anyone who provokes him. Yuuta's unique predicament draws the attention of Satoru Gojou, a formidable sorcerer and instructor at Tokyo Prefectural Jujutsu High School. Seeing potential in the boy, Gojou intends to guide Yuuta in harnessing his curse for the greater good. However, Yuuta finds it difficult to integrate with his talented classmates, including the selectively silent Toge Inumaki, weapons expert Maki Zenin, and the enigmatic Panda. While undertaking missions with his peers, Yuuta clumsily wields Rika's overwhelming power, often resulting in disastrous consequences. These incidents catch the eye of Suguru Getou, a cunning curse user plotting to exploit Rika's strength to wipe out all non-jujutsu practitioners. Standing alongside his friends, Yuuta battles to thwart Getou's genocidal scheme.
