The next chapter after a successful anime season of Jujutsu Kaisen is a full-length animated film, Jujutsu Kaisen 0. The film takes place before the events of Jujutsu Kaisen and was originally a one-shot manga. In the latest Jujutsu Kaisen 0 trailer, fans get a better view of the protagonist and his backstory. Additionally familiar faces from the anime series in action.

Jujutsu Kaisen 0 Synopsis

Yuuta Okkotsu is haunted. Ever since his childhood friend Rika died in a traffic accident, her ghost has stuck with him. But her spirit does not appear as the sweet girl Yuuta once knew. Instead, she manifests as a monstrous and powerful entity who fiercely protects him. Unable to control Rika’s violent behavior, Yuuta is helpless to stop the bloodshed that follows from her brutal vengeance. As a result, when apprehended by “Jujutsu” sorcerers—the secret guardians of the world, trained to combat forces like Rika—Yuuta wishes to be completely isolated so that no one else can get hurt.

While no theater release announced outside of Japan, Jujutsu Kaisen 0 releases in Japan’s theaters on December 24, 2021. A creepy time just in time for the holidays.
