A Phenomenon From the Start
Jujutsu Kaisen exploded onto the anime scene in October 2020, quickly captivating audiences with its compelling characters, stunning animation, and thrilling fight sequences. The series, produced by the acclaimed studio MAPPA (known for Attack on Titan and Chainsaw Man), has become a cornerstone of modern anime, blending supernatural action with emotionally resonant storytelling. Direction for the series has evolved, with Sunghoo Park helming Season 1, and shota Goshozono – fresh off the success of Chainsaw Man – taking the reins for Seasons 2 and 3. The writng team, led by Hiroshi Seko (Season 1), and character design by Yosuke Yajima and Hiromi Niwa, remain consistent, promising a familiar yet evolving aesthetic.
Season 1: The birth of a Sorcerer
The story begins with Yuji Itadori, an exceptionally athletic high school student living a relatively normal life. This normalcy is shattered when he swallows a cursed finger belonging to the powerful and malevolent Ryomen Sukuna, becoming the vessel for this ancient demon. Instead of succumbing to Sukuna’s influence, Yuji is given a unique opportunity: to attend Tokyo Jujutsu High and learn to control the curse, all while delaying his unavoidable execution.
At Jujutsu High, Yuji trains alongside fellow students Megumi fushiguro and Nobara Kugisaki, learning to harness their own cursed energy and combat the threats that plague the world. Season 1 establishes the core themes of sacrifice, responsibility, and the constant struggle against overwhelming darkness.
Key takeaways from Season 1:
* Yuji’s grandfather instilled in him a strong moral compass, urging him to use his strength to help others.
* The world is plagued by “curses” – manifestations of negative human emotions – and Jujutsu Sorcerers are tasked with exorcising them.
* Yuji’s unique situation makes him both a powerful asset and a dangerous liability.
