Jujutsu Kaisen: Plot Details
Jujutsu Kaisen is a shounen anime with Yūji Itadori as one of the leading male leads of the show. He is blessed with unnatural fitness and is exceptionally skilled in sports and athletics. To evade from the track team, he joins the Occult Research club where he not only manages to spend time with his seniors but also gets off from school early to meet his grandfather.
He lives with his grandfather in Sendai, and now his grandfather is admitted to the hospital and unwell. His grandfather’s last words to him were “always help people” and “die surrounded by people“—later which he interpreted as how everyone deserves a proper death.
The story further takes a strange turn when several supernatural evil happenings take place. These evil and unfortunate events take place due to the removal of an enchanted seal. A sorcerer named Megumi Fushiguro contacts Yuji to inform him how he came in contact with this cursed talisman at school. His friends from the occult club unsealed the evil, rotting finger which brought upon the curse on school. This lets out malicious creatures than feed on sorcerers to consume their magical powers and grow stronger.
Due to his grandfather’s last words, he always helps people around, and Megumi and his friends were in grave danger. But he lacked any natural powers, so he decides to swallow the source of the evil, the rotten finger. On doing this, he becomes the host of Sukuna which brings upon a curse on him.
To the surprise of the sorcerers who decide to kill him, Yuji doesn’t lose himself to the evil curse. He manages control over most of his body and the school teacher of the sorcerers, Satoru Gojō decides to take him in.
This is where the action begins, the fight to see whether Yuji consumes Sukuna or the other way round. Upon this, the Tokyo Metropolitan Magic Technical College will decide to postpone his death sentence until he finishes the evil and kill him altogether after that.
