“Jujustu Kaisen 0” amazes fans of animation
“Jujustu Kaisen 0”, the newest addition to the Jujustu Kaisen series, is being considered to be the most popular anime movie of the last two years. Surpassing “My Hero Academia” and “Demon Slayer”, it brought in $17.6 million in its opening weekend.
The “Jujustu Kaisen” series follows the main character Yuuji Itadori, and his experience with curses, spiritual beings that form from negative and cursed energy. He is possessed by the spirit of Sukuna, a powerful curse that is attempting to take over the world. The series follows Itadori’s journey through the school Jujustu Tech, and his fight against Sukuna as he learns to kill curses and become a Jujustu sorcerer.
The movie is the prequel to the series, following the main character Yuuta Okkotsu, a character that was acknowledged in the series as one of the strongest sorcerers, and his journey with entering the world of curses. He is followed and has control of the dangerous cursed spirit Rika and is enlisted by Jujustu Tech to become a sorcerer.
Overall, I really enjoyed this movie. The animation was absolutely incredible and every fight scene took my breath away. The characters are well developed and the plot lined up really well with the original season. The original season had moments and the characters made comments that were seemingly unimportant, but the movie tied it all together.
I’m extremely satisfied with the plot of this movie and it was a reminder of how amazing the “Jujustu Kaisen’s” animators were. I can’t wait to see what comes next in the series.
