Yuji Itadori is a boy with tremendous physical strength, though he lives a completely ordinary high school life. One day, to save a classmate who has been attacked by curses, he eats the finger of Ryomen Sukuna, taking the curse into his own soul. From then on, he shares one body with Ryomen Sukuna. Guided by the most powerful of sorcerers, Satoru Gojo, Itadori is admitted to Tokyo Jujutsu High School, 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.
The first two seasons of Jujutsu Kaisen are currently available to stream via CrunchyRoll.
About Jujutsu Kaisen's Culling Game Arc
In Jujutsu Kaisen's Culling Game arc, the story picks up momentum following the dramatic Shibuya Incident. This arc introduces a high-stakes battle royale, pitting jujutsu sorcerers against each other and non-sorcerers, with survival and points at the heart of the conflict.
The game's inception is tied to Kenjaku, a pivotal figure whose actions catalyze a radical shift in the sorcery world. His agenda is to evolve humanity using cursed techniques, triggering a series of events that ensnare a wide range of characters.
Central to the maga's arc is Megumi Fushiguro, who, upon discovering his sister's forced participation, mobilizes a formidable team. This includes familiar faces like Itadori and new allies, all united in a mission to disrupt Kenjaku's plan and rescue Satoru Gojo from the Prison Realm. Their journey is fraught with challenges, strategizing against the intricate rules set by Kenjaku.
These rules, initially eight in number, govern the brutal game, outlining how players declare participation, earn points, and face consequences for inactivity. Intriguingly, players hold the power to alter the game's dynamics by introducing new rules, adding a layer of strategy to the survival game.
As the arc unfolds, various colonies emerge as battlegrounds, each hosting a unique ensemble of characters. This setting not only elevates the narrative's intensity but also showcases the diverse abilities and tactics of the participants, from veterans like Yuji Itadori to newcomers, each bringing their distinct flavor to the fray.
