JUJUTSU KAISEN
Jujutsu Kaisen
Synopsis
A boy fights... for "the right death." Hardship, regret, shame: the negative feelings that humans feel become Curses that lurk in our everyday lives. The Curses run rampant throughout the world, capable of leading people to terrible misfortune and even death. What's more, the Curses can only be exorcised by another Curse. Itadori Yuji is a boy with tremendous physical strength, though he lives a completely ordinary high school life. One day, to save a friend who has been attacked by Curses, he eats the finger of the Double-Faced Specter, taking the Curse into his own soul. From then on, he shares one body with the Double-Faced Specter. Guided by the most powerful of sorcerers, Gojou Satoru, Itadori is admitted to the Tokyo Metropolitan Technical High School of Sorcery, an organization that fights the Curses... and thus begins the heroic tale of a boy who became a Curse to exorcise a Curse, a life from which he could never turn back. (Source: Crunchyroll) Note: The first episode received an early web premiere on September 19th, 2020. The regular TV broadcast started on October 3rd, 2020.
Why This Anime Hits
A curse-filled world where the real horror is how casually people accept suffering.
Jujutsu Kaisen thrives in the gap between Yuji's simple desire to give people a proper death and the sorcerer society that treats lives as collateral. Gojo's blindfold isn't just style — it's the visual metaphor for a system that refuses to see its own corruption. The Shibuya arc doesn't just raise stakes; it tears down every safety net the characters had left.
