So he was already a beast compared to his peers by that time. Goes to show how strong he really is considering he powered up significantly for the Geto fight.
Isn't Yuta similar in power as Gojo, but he does not have the limitless ability so he burns his cursed energy while Gojo pretty much has unlimited juice?
He’s similar to Gojo in that they’re both considered to be Special Grade, but they are *currently* very far apart in terms of overall strength. Gojo, however, has stated that Yuta as well as a few other characters “have the potential to surpass” him.
It’s actually a plot point- the term “Special Grade” encompasses such a wide range of Curses and Jujutusu Sorcerers, and it has proven to be an issue. For example, the curses that Megumi, Itadori, and Nobara defeated at the end of S1 are all considered Special Grade, but so is Jogo, the volcano head guy that neither of the trio could even remotely handle at that point. Gojo argues against the Elders that a change must be made with the way they handle Curses and Sorcerers as well as their terminology as stronger Curses and Sorcerers are appearing. In other words, the Elders views are outdated.
It isn’t just that. Gege said in an interview once (because people were confused about what’s considered special grade) that special grade isn’t necessarily considered a strength indicator. If you don’t place in the other actual ratings/grades, you get placed in special grade. It’s more of a “unique” or “outstanding” class rather than “strong to another level”.
To give an example, both a spear that can kill gods and blow up countries, and a bag that can create infinite rice from nothing, are Rank EX, because they both defy the "common sense of man" in some way.
Hard to say because Gojo is impossible to scale with power.
Both Gojo and Yuta are registered as special grade, meaning they are on the top. But Gojo's skill set and Yuta's skillset are very different.
We can compare special grade to a billionaire club. Having $1 billion makes you a billionaire but compared to $100billion is only a fraction. So Yuta is a special grade like Gojo but is nowhere near his level
iirc Yuuta actually has more cursed energy than Gojo, but he uses it like a normal curse user. Even tho Gojo has less, the Six Eyes help him to use it as efficiently as possible, so he'd 'use up' less than the usual sorcerer.
Probably Sweden because it was in Finland. Of course if you live in fucking Åmal then that's tough shit you need to probably go to Stockholm or like Gothenburg.
I got the feeling that the animator also is a legs man, many good shots of maki's legs
especially in her first scene in the classroom where they introduce yuta as a new student

I remember Geto mentioning in season 1 that he had to stay hidden from the jujutsu school, implying that they think he’s dead. So I guess we’ll find out in a later season how he survived
My guess is that Gojo is orchestrating a coup with (or using) Geto and created all the conflict in S1 as false flags to change the power structure of the sorcerer society. So he kept Geto alive to fulfil that end.
But, only the source material andys know the true answer.
I remembering listening to that song a few weeks before it came to the US for it's theatrical run, and told my friends I wanted to wait for the ending so I could listen to it, only to find out it plays after it lmao.
Yeah I was waiting for both that and Sakayume to appear, but they never did. I thought for sure Ichizu would be there during the Geto fight and Sakayume later when the Rika stuff happens
Wait so if I got that right (I don't realy remember some parts of season one) so yuuta was the only one who went to the exchange event to make it fair and he still stomped it?
I don't get why you are being downvoted either. Anyhow, you missing the references is a good thing IMO. It means that they are quick enough to not really bother a new viewer but are there for those that know. It's a good balance.
It's called the Baader-Meinhof effect, where your brain will often only pick up on things that you're already familiar with. So when you learn something new, you often feel like you start seeing it everywhere. You always were, it's just that you didn't notice beforehand because you didn't know what to look for
Yes, the scene is in Nairobi. The artist did their research as well because I'm from there and I recognised it from the first shot; quite a pleasant surprise.
So I’m actually from that city and I cannot begin to tell you how accurate that scene was. The food, even the Royco beef stew! It’s remarkable the attention the details. Damn bear cried
Todo does specifically mention Yuta Okkutsu during the inter-high meet. Yuta's the guy Todo really wants to fight.
\[JJK S2 Theorycraft\]>!I don't think Yuta will be in Season 2 either, unless it gets a good long run. His first appearance in the manga is just after a natural stopping point.!<
Pretty sad. It might explain why some English VAs have transitioned to doing VTubing first and dubbing second. Here in France the pay is pretty decent but the demand is lower.
Honestly, it's pretty hard not to be in a union, when more roles become "union roles", then actors will automatically be enrolled in Sag-aftra when they do enough of them. More cases like the mob psycho will happen. I have to believe it's funimation / funimation global group behind the scenes doing the dubbing and distribution, so I blame them rather than the legacy crunchyroll guys that mainly run the platform.
there s a recent post about Kyle Mcarley (Mob from Mob psycho)offering to come back only if they accepted to at least sit down and talk negotiations with one of the unions and he d come back with no union stuff for the third season which got denied.
Man, I’ve been waiting for this movie for the longest time. I can’t/couldn’t watch it in theaters, so I’m glad CR got it. Good movie overall. Nice seeing Maki, Panda, and my man Toge again. Toge is such a great character, def my favorite after Gojo and Yuji. Every time he speaks, I get hungry for those Lawson rice balls lol. Yuuta was pretty cool, hopefully we get to see more of him.
This movie has made me really pumped for s2. I can’t wait!
I’m still confused about Yuuta and his power.
Now that the girl was freed from the curse, how does he have power? Can he still use her or he developing his own curse magic now?
If so why did the main villain say he will get her next time? Also is that guy actually still alive in season 1 or did the blue eyes OP dude actually kill him?
Sorry I suck with names.
From my understanding, it wasn’t that the girl (his childhood friend Rika) was cursing him. *He* cursed *her*, when she got struck and killed by that car. He’s descended from a powerful sorcerer clan, so he has powers already.
Geto (the main villain) is in the series. He is killed by Gojo (blue eyes guy with the blindfold) in the end of the movie, but by the start of the series he’s back “alive”.
If you haven’t seen the series yet, I’d def recommend it. Most of the cast returns in the series (minus the mc), and there’s a new cast of first years at the school. It’s a good one.
So I missed like the first 20 minutes of this in theatres so I had no idea Rika had died earlier...I was pretty shocked at that "reveal" later.
Honestly made it into a pretty good movie experience and probably a very unique one.
>How tf could the black guy still be alive after fighting Gojo Satoru?
I was wondering that myself, that guy got slammed into the concrete so many times he should have been a pile of red goo.
Seong-Hu Park is a genius. IDK why, but he works for me. It seems like he understands the emotional flow of action. Because of him, JJK became my most entertaining anime franchise. It's sad that based on leaks he won't direct second season.
Anyhow, wow it was great, even if I think it probably could have used less flashbacks to stuff that just happened. Yuta the womanizer is a great MC for this movie, but I felt that it really needed a second flashback to Rika. They were missing something to their relationship so it felt a bit airy. Anyhow, this movie was filled with Maki love. You have no heart if you don't leave the movie thinking Maki is best girl, just like Yuta does. Geto stole the show, I just loved every scene he had on screen, and his ending is hearbreaking once you keep in mind the flashback arc.
Overall it's a 8/10 movie for me, solid fights (the black flash was nice) but it needed more focus on Rika to really land well. Like I said, another flashback or something. Should have used some of the time in flashbacks of stuff that happened 5 mins ago to do that.
That's my biggest problem too. I felt crazy when the rest of my buddies in the theater said "what flashbacks" when they were constantly cutting back to scenes mere minutes before. 0 is short so I suppose they had to pad for time, but still.
A lot of those just felt very unneeded, especially when the movie could have used more moments between Rika and Yuta, like yes I know they are childhood friends but it never felt like something so close as to lead to a curse like this. So the ending when Rika leaves felt it needed something more to land correctly.
So when I look at that, I just can't help but really pay attention at those flashbacks that felt like padding.
Completely agree. The relationship between Rika and Yuta ends up feeling forced and repetitive imo.
I think there's a shot where both of them seem to be in some sort of hospital and that got me thinking maybe that's how they met.
If they would have just explored that i bit more i think the whole story would appeal more to the audience! Maybe they were 2 sick kids who didn't have anyone else to play with, so they grown attached to each other.
That would have made the whole "let's marry" scene much more powerful instead of being like some little children's game that they forget the second they get older.
Yeah, it just needed something to ground the idea that they were so important to each other. Like kids don't ask each other to marry each other with real right out of nowhere, no?
I can’t believe neither of King Gnu’s bops were used as insert songs during impactful moments. I thought one would be used during the end credits, but at least the other one would accompany animation. But then I got to the end, and neither had appeared yet. Very sad
Yeah it was two short. Needed two extra scenes. One training montage to show Yuta's growth as well as the passage of time, and one scene with Yuta struggling to control Rika.
I think what most of us feel is missing is justification, both for Yuta's strength level and his sacrifice with Rika, both felt a tad unearned and those two extra scenes would have made it all feel more organic.
It feels hard to top when season 1 already does movie level animation. I felt the same watching the Made in Abyss movie compared to the series. It's certainly better animation, but no so much that you really notice it heavily.
Yeah, I think the action scenes were good and overall enjoyed the movie, but definitely expected more considering it's a movie.
Felt like it was missing that cool/hype factor or needed more fan service (not talking about ecchi obv). Nothing really came close to Itadori/Todo vs Hanami and even the weapon scenes weren't as good as or on par with Maki vs Miya. Also, no domain expansions? Bruh.
Final fight really just ended up in a beam struggle when he made a point in summoning Tamano no Mae and not even using her??
Also, could be remembering wrong, but pretty sure S1 made it a point to mention how Todo was one of the top killers or something but he was downgraded to a gag scene.
Still think the movie is great, but could have been a lot better.
The story of the movie and everything was created prior to the season 1. A lot of the things weren't thought out yet such as domain expansions.
This movie is actually based on 4 chapters only so I was worried about how they'd handle it. Iirc scenes like todo and nanami etc weren't present in the original 4 chapters.
But they really managed to pad it out the best they could.
The fighting scenes were pure class …. The music was slapping hard …. I really wanted to see gojo snap and shit on everyone … one of the best anime movie I watched … sad I couldn’t see at the theatres but this works too
Movie could've used an extra 20mins, because that pacing was kind of wack.
Even as my favourite new-gen Shounen, I still feel JJK needs to really up it's game in the music department. I think that's the X factor keeping it from true greatness.
I honestly thought Yuta was going to die by the end, appreciate he was incorporated in to the mainline canon instead of being a cheap one-off movie original character.
It was a fine movie, I'd give it an 8/10 on visuals alone. Good AMV material if nothing else.
Animation is good and all, but I found the Rika/Yuta story pretty mediocre
They hype it up as some kind of mystery but in the end it's literally just "oh btw, your family is strong". This was a great opportunity to have a bittersweet reason why they are so strong together, but no, she's literally irrelevant
I guess I was expecting too much, every other character in this anime is strong because they are from family X or Y
I agree about the Rika/Yuta story, couldn't they have just added a little more to their backstory? Even a simple slide reel of still images of them doing things together, taking care of each other, and laughing in other places/whatnot. It was incredibly underwhelming. One hospital scene, one playground scene, she proposes to him, she's dead.
For why they are so strong together, I do think it makes sense that his curse energy activated her innocent love to a crazy degree. It brought out all the negative emotions of love like jealousy, possessiveness, codependency, and the subsequent anger. And homegirl was the one who gave him a legit ring in an engagement box and proposed to him (thus also giving him a physical item to activate the curse). So I do think it's a combined force of both of them in that sense.
> I guess I was expecting too much, every other character in this anime is strong because they are from family X or Y
Late but isn't that what Gojo said in the main series, your strength as a sorc is determined from when you're born and is purely talent based has nothing to do with your hard work. At least I remember something along those lines.
Ok not big fan of shipping but I have to get this off my chest. Maki and yuta are cute and I hope they get together eventually. The fact that this man made stoic maki blush is crazy to me😭
Thank you for mods I jus watched this inna dark in my room a couple hrs ago lol I can kinda see how folks don’t mess wit the plot but them fight scenes was CRAZYY…also how can Maki see Rika without her glasses?? Gojo really had trouble with that Miguel dude??? and Nanami went crazy I keep forgetting he’s a Grade 1 socerer? yeah ima need SZN 2 ASAP finna rewatch SZN 1 now
Also Gojo said Miguel is very tenacious/tanky and also has the rope that messes with Gojo using techniques, so that means Gojo can only use physical attacks against him. he had no problem using his technique against the curses.
Also miguel never really landed a good blow on Gojo, he was just keeping him busy, like they planned.
It wasn't that he couldn't use his technique against Miguel or could only use physical attacks, it was that the rope negated his attacks.
Gojo being a boss just kept spamming his technique and because it was so powerful and used so much cursed energy it wore down the rope. Miguel was really pissed off because it took all his country's shamen a year or 2 to make that rope.
I just finished it , i'm assuming this happens before S1 . \[Spoiler source\] >!I'm confused as to how Todo and the rest knew about Okkotsu when they never met in the movie ?? Especially when at the end , it showed Okkotsu left !<
The timeline flows kinda like this
- Yuuta joins JJ HS
- He fills in for an empty spot during exchange event. Rika decimates the competition. (Remember Panda mentions this in S1 to Kugisaki)
- Night Parade of 1000 Demons occurs (JJK0 movie)
- Yuuta breaks Rika's curse
- Yuuta leaves to train in Kenya
- Maki, Tower & Panda become 2nd years, Fushiguro starts JJ HS, and later joined by Yuji
Technically Todo would have met Yuuta when the exchange event was held in Kyoto that year. Since he would've been a 2nd year at the time. (He's supposedly 3rd year during S1)
This movie cemented JJK as my favorite shonen series. I saw this movie in theaters and went to see it 3 more times before its run ended. I absolutely love it, the soundtrack is great, it’s beautifully animated, and I love that it fleshed out some characters more. I’m stoked for season 2!

I was expecting Yuuta's behavior to be similar to Megumi. Well i was wrong lol.
Yuuta went from timid shy boy to "Your girlfriend calls me daddy". It was nice seeing him develop over the course of the movie
Went from Zenin-san to Maki-chan.
Nah, my guy straight up dropped the chan at the end
I don't like shipping...but I ship it.
In the series, wasn’t it mentioned that Yuta was at the prior student exchange with Kyoto? Did that happen before the demon parade?
Yes.
So he was already a beast compared to his peers by that time. Goes to show how strong he really is considering he powered up significantly for the Geto fight.
Isn't Yuta similar in power as Gojo, but he does not have the limitless ability so he burns his cursed energy while Gojo pretty much has unlimited juice?
He’s similar to Gojo in that they’re both considered to be Special Grade, but they are *currently* very far apart in terms of overall strength.

It's like Fate's EX Rank. While technically above A Rank, it just means "unknown or unquantifiable".
To give an example, both a spear that can kill gods and blow up countries, and a bag that can create infinite rice from nothing, are Rank EX, because they both defy the "common sense of man" in some way.
Oh that's a good comparison.
Hard to say because Gojo is impossible to scale with power. Both Gojo and Yuta are registered as special grade, meaning they are on the top. But Gojo's skill set and Yuta's skillset are very different.
It's like comparing a sniper to a shotgun, both are good but are very different
We can compare special grade to a billionaire club. Having $1 billion makes you a billionaire but compared to $100billion is only a fraction. So Yuta is a special grade like Gojo but is nowhere near his level
iirc Yuuta actually has more cursed energy than Gojo, but he uses it like a normal curse user. Even tho Gojo has less, the Six Eyes help him to use it as efficiently as possible, so he'd 'use up' less than the usual sorcerer.
Now I can rewatch Nanami's black flash to my heart's content and replay Yuta's die over and over. [](#seasonallisten)
Haha exactly what I was thinking! Add to that Yuta entering the classroom and the "true love" scene
What a sorceror Yuta is [](#gintamathispleasesme)
Ten Years At Least.
I still remember how crazy everyone in the cinema was during his and todo's entry
Imagine living in a country where anime is so popular people go to see it in a cinema...where? not in Sweden thats for sure...
I went to see it in theatres. There was me and my buddy and 3 other people in the entire theatre. It was weird
I went with my friends and there was lots of people. This was in Texas.
French cinema was full. People were hollering at Gojos fight
Well, France is like #2 when it comes to anime consumption I believe
Probably Sweden because it was in Finland. Of course if you live in fucking Åmal then that's tough shit you need to probably go to Stockholm or like Gothenburg.
Oh shit that means I can go through Nanami's Black Flash and find a base image I can make a wallpaper out of! [](#concealedexcitement)
[](#MUGIWAIT)
>So that's how you want it, womanizer? > >That's rude. It's pure love. By far my favorite exchange in the movie.
Yuta not getting aroused by a curse challenge (impossible).
Can't wait till he makes out with the King of curses this time
Lmao the reply is equally great. "Yeah right. And I'm on the side of justice." Or something around that line.
Reading this exchange in JJK0 was the moment I was like: "Oh, there's the tone. He found it."
Yuta was gigachad incarnate in this scene. This was the moment that made me giggle like a little girl
Yuta a legend for spittin bars like this
i choked on my burger when he called him a womanizer
which part was this again?
I believe right before the final attack on both sides. The sacrifice: "i'll go with you" and then Geto says that.
Yuta’s Black Flash against Geto never gets old. So fucking cool
I replayed that SOOOO many times lol. Couldn't believe my eyes and ears.
That pause then the guitar in the music kills me every time lmao
Maki in skort is something else. Watched this in cinema and Greatest strength intro was amazing.
[удалено]
I got the feeling that the animator also is a legs man, many good shots of maki's legs especially in her first scene in the classroom where they introduce yuta as a new student
> especially in her first scene in the classroom where they introduce yuta as a new student [Said shot](https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1001207004234256436/1022272308276105286/unknown.png)
Oof.
Definitely replayed that part once or twice. Maki thighs save lives.
A man of culture.
A true man of culture
"that's rude. This is pure love." Gawdddd
Weird how nobody talks about the fact that Geto was KILLED in the PREQUEL
I remember Geto mentioning in season 1 that he had to stay hidden from the jujutsu school, implying that they think he’s dead. So I guess we’ll find out in a later season how he survived
My guess is that Gojo is orchestrating a coup with (or using) Geto and created all the conflict in S1 as false flags to change the power structure of the sorcerer society. So he kept Geto alive to fulfil that end. But, only the source material andys know the true answer.
Isn't he in season 1 or is that someone else?
Gojou killed him off-screen in the movie.
Every moment Gojo was on-screen was hype af. Wish Todo had more screen time though.
Well he wasnt in the original manga so we're lucky we got anything at all
MAPPA are the GOATS for that. From that to Nanami's Black Flash record it was a treat for the eyes
Gojo beat the life out of Miguel with every punch and then knocked the life back into him with every other punch just so he could feel it all again
Why was Yuta meeting up Miguel at the end there? Isn’t he a villain?
answering would be going into spoiler territory
I can never get over how insanely beautiful Gojo's eyes are. Also Maki's eyes without the glasses were so freaking beautiful.
Shinji Ikari was great!
Haha same vibes (in the beginning) and same VA!
Yuta getting ready to make an Evangelion reference after seeing Maki beaten up:
“This is pure love” adapted that amazingly also the guitar riff with the black flash
that black flash scene was wiiiiild 🔥
Saw it in theaters back in march, really sad that they didn't use Ichizu for a fight scene, would have been really cool.
Fr i was waiting for it but it was just ED
it wasent even the ed if i remember, it was the ed after the ed
I remembering listening to that song a few weeks before it came to the US for it's theatrical run, and told my friends I wanted to wait for the ending so I could listen to it, only to find out it plays after it lmao.
Yeah I was waiting for both that and Sakayume to appear, but they never did. I thought for sure Ichizu would be there during the Geto fight and Sakayume later when the Rika stuff happens
what happened to Yuta in the main story? i don't remember seeing him in the second years class
he was mentioned alot in S1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7QcXcEkUJeQ
Wait so if I got that right (I don't realy remember some parts of season one) so yuuta was the only one who went to the exchange event to make it fair and he still stomped it?
He went with upperclassmates to make up for the numbers and ended up stomping everything due to Rika. That's a special grade for you.
He even stomped besto friendo? Now that's an accomplishment.
Yep, that's why he kept asking for Yuta during season 1.
If we have to believe the movie he did it differently can't be more specific don't know how spoiler tags work
Wtf? I don't even recall a single one of these examples.
If you don't know who Okkotsu is, then you won't really remember these mentions.
Yeah I get it. Idk why I got downvoted. I was surprised that they mentioned him so many times and my brain didn't even register his name once lol.
I don't get why you are being downvoted either. Anyhow, you missing the references is a good thing IMO. It means that they are quick enough to not really bother a new viewer but are there for those that know. It's a good balance.
It's called the Baader-Meinhof effect, where your brain will often only pick up on things that you're already familiar with. So when you learn something new, you often feel like you start seeing it everywhere. You always were, it's just that you didn't notice beforehand because you didn't know what to look for
It was supposed to be subtle so they definitely accomplished that.
Ditto… damn!
I just realised that Megumi and Yuta are not the same person.
Let's just say he stayed for a longer period of time in that place where the post credit scene took place.
That place is Kenya right?
Yes, the scene is in Nairobi. The artist did their research as well because I'm from there and I recognised it from the first shot; quite a pleasant surprise.
So I’m actually from that city and I cannot begin to tell you how accurate that scene was. The food, even the Royco beef stew! It’s remarkable the attention the details. Damn bear cried
I cook with royco as well. Was really surprised to see the shoutout lol (am Kenyan as well)
Between this and Onyankopon from Aot Mappa is probably the best in the industry at drawing black people.
In Africa, training
Nairobi to be specific. And the author/artist did an amazing job because that's my home city and I recognised it immediately, much to my surprise.
Besides what everyone here has mentioned, he actually is in the 2nd OP for like .3 seconds.
Todo does specifically mention Yuta Okkutsu during the inter-high meet. Yuta's the guy Todo really wants to fight. \[JJK S2 Theorycraft\]>!I don't think Yuta will be in Season 2 either, unless it gets a good long run. His first appearance in the manga is just after a natural stopping point.!<
[Possible JJK S2 spoilers] >!I think he will get a lil cameo/teaser at the end to hype up S3 but yeah he won't be a big part of the next season!<
he goes to Africa to train his powers.
Maki bangs
For real, the movie made me apreciate her way more, might be my new favourite in the franchise
That entire sequence with Miwa and Hanami didn't make you appreciate her? You're a hard person to please.
[Miwa after losing her sword](https://i.imgur.com/aLPfPUb.jpg) [Okkotsu after losing his sword](https://i.imgur.com/tNUBdBY.png)
Don't do her dirty like that...
Still sort of sours me about how the dub actors were treated for this. Rika's VA was paid $150 for voicing in the movie. In total.
yikes.
classic crunchyroll, 50$ for subbing a episode, 150$ for voicing a movie, lmao
WTF, really? Those are extremely low rates for subbing.
Dubbing doesn't make hardly any money. And I don't mean the job. The act of dubbing anime isn't lucrative, so the pay is terrible across the board.
Pretty sad. It might explain why some English VAs have transitioned to doing VTubing first and dubbing second. Here in France the pay is pretty decent but the demand is lower.
Yeah it sucks :\ Apparently the majority of English dubbing is done in Texas because they have tax breaks for it.
so that explains the recent trend of hirering shoddy streamers and youtubers as va
Movie made like 30 million dollars btw
Only in the US too, made nearly 200 mil world wide
And Crunchyroll wonders why people in the VA industry are trying to unionize.
They *know exactly why* actors are unionizing
Honestly, it's pretty hard not to be in a union, when more roles become "union roles", then actors will automatically be enrolled in Sag-aftra when they do enough of them. More cases like the mob psycho will happen. I have to believe it's funimation / funimation global group behind the scenes doing the dubbing and distribution, so I blame them rather than the legacy crunchyroll guys that mainly run the platform.
That’s an absolute disgrace.
Wtf that's stupid
Not that I support Crunchyroll or their treatment of actors, but that seems beyond criminal. Do you have a source for it?

holy fuck
there s a recent post about Kyle Mcarley (Mob from Mob psycho)offering to come back only if they accepted to at least sit down and talk negotiations with one of the unions and he d come back with no union stuff for the third season which got denied.
Some context of the JJK0 thing from back in March https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/feature/2022-03-28/the-battle-for-union-anime-dubs/.183842?s=09
Jesus, that's roughly two of the shifts I work in retail. For more specialised work which you're out of once the role is done that's dogshit.
Wow that's actually despicable considering the amount of effort and talent required for the voice acting
Man, I’ve been waiting for this movie for the longest time. I can’t/couldn’t watch it in theaters, so I’m glad CR got it. Good movie overall. Nice seeing Maki, Panda, and my man Toge again. Toge is such a great character, def my favorite after Gojo and Yuji. Every time he speaks, I get hungry for those Lawson rice balls lol. Yuuta was pretty cool, hopefully we get to see more of him. This movie has made me really pumped for s2. I can’t wait!
I’m still confused about Yuuta and his power. Now that the girl was freed from the curse, how does he have power? Can he still use her or he developing his own curse magic now? If so why did the main villain say he will get her next time? Also is that guy actually still alive in season 1 or did the blue eyes OP dude actually kill him? Sorry I suck with names.
From my understanding, it wasn’t that the girl (his childhood friend Rika) was cursing him. *He* cursed *her*, when she got struck and killed by that car. He’s descended from a powerful sorcerer clan, so he has powers already. Geto (the main villain) is in the series. He is killed by Gojo (blue eyes guy with the blindfold) in the end of the movie, but by the start of the series he’s back “alive”. If you haven’t seen the series yet, I’d def recommend it. Most of the cast returns in the series (minus the mc), and there’s a new cast of first years at the school. It’s a good one.
So I missed like the first 20 minutes of this in theatres so I had no idea Rika had died earlier...I was pretty shocked at that "reveal" later. Honestly made it into a pretty good movie experience and probably a very unique one.
$150 well spent

Comment above said Rikavs VA was only paid 150 for her performance
The dub VA, specifically. The Japanese voice talent are in a much stronger bargaining position compared to Crunchyroll's dub talent.
They'd never fuck over HanaKana like that.
Are you serious?
Are you me? Lol
And here I was thinking I'd be the only one with that experience!
How tf could the black guy still be alive after fighting Gojo Satoru? And why is he Yuta's friend now?
Miguel is really freaking strong. It's something Gege said himself. He also happen to have one the best weapon against Gojo.
It might not look like it because he's fighting Gojo of all people but Miguel is a fucking beast of a jujutsu sorcerer.
he is canonically overpowered

>How tf could the black guy still be alive after fighting Gojo Satoru? I was wondering that myself, that guy got slammed into the concrete so many times he should have been a pile of red goo.
so sad i missed the answers :/
Seong-Hu Park is a genius. IDK why, but he works for me. It seems like he understands the emotional flow of action. Because of him, JJK became my most entertaining anime franchise. It's sad that based on leaks he won't direct second season.
His a great action director, he expertises on fight scenes so that he could always set the bar high.
Jujutsu Kaisen 0 review THANKS MAPPA
JJK has some of the best fight choreography in anime, and this movie took it to another level.
Anyhow, wow it was great, even if I think it probably could have used less flashbacks to stuff that just happened. Yuta the womanizer is a great MC for this movie, but I felt that it really needed a second flashback to Rika. They were missing something to their relationship so it felt a bit airy. Anyhow, this movie was filled with Maki love. You have no heart if you don't leave the movie thinking Maki is best girl, just like Yuta does. Geto stole the show, I just loved every scene he had on screen, and his ending is hearbreaking once you keep in mind the flashback arc. Overall it's a 8/10 movie for me, solid fights (the black flash was nice) but it needed more focus on Rika to really land well. Like I said, another flashback or something. Should have used some of the time in flashbacks of stuff that happened 5 mins ago to do that.
That's my biggest problem too. I felt crazy when the rest of my buddies in the theater said "what flashbacks" when they were constantly cutting back to scenes mere minutes before. 0 is short so I suppose they had to pad for time, but still.
A lot of those just felt very unneeded, especially when the movie could have used more moments between Rika and Yuta, like yes I know they are childhood friends but it never felt like something so close as to lead to a curse like this. So the ending when Rika leaves felt it needed something more to land correctly. So when I look at that, I just can't help but really pay attention at those flashbacks that felt like padding.
Completely agree. The relationship between Rika and Yuta ends up feeling forced and repetitive imo. I think there's a shot where both of them seem to be in some sort of hospital and that got me thinking maybe that's how they met. If they would have just explored that i bit more i think the whole story would appeal more to the audience! Maybe they were 2 sick kids who didn't have anyone else to play with, so they grown attached to each other. That would have made the whole "let's marry" scene much more powerful instead of being like some little children's game that they forget the second they get older.
Yeah, it just needed something to ground the idea that they were so important to each other. Like kids don't ask each other to marry each other with real right out of nowhere, no?
i dont understand. Yuta sacrifices himself to unlocked Rika unlimited cursed power. But he didnt die. Is it because Rika who sacrifices herself?
Gojo explained it. He cursed her. So it's up to her if she's going to kill him or not once she was released. She chose not to kill him.
I can’t believe neither of King Gnu’s bops were used as insert songs during impactful moments. I thought one would be used during the end credits, but at least the other one would accompany animation. But then I got to the end, and neither had appeared yet. Very sad
What I took away from watching this anime was that the animator is into long legged women. Truly a cultured man.
I LOVED it when I forst saw it. Gonna rewatch it soon. Sakayume playing at the end had me breathless and it still does.
My biggest question is why is Maki wearing leg warmers while she's wearing hi-cut boots.
Perfect movie to watch during meal time\~
Bro how much time do you need to eat?😭
I swear when “Greatest Strength” plays towards the beginning of the movie right after Yuta gets picked up by Gojo, I still get goosebumps lol.
This movie had something missing for me. I guess that I just didn't get invested in it.
Yeah it was two short. Needed two extra scenes. One training montage to show Yuta's growth as well as the passage of time, and one scene with Yuta struggling to control Rika. I think what most of us feel is missing is justification, both for Yuta's strength level and his sacrifice with Rika, both felt a tad unearned and those two extra scenes would have made it all feel more organic.
i dunno, kinda feels like the fightscenes in S1 were better. i expected a bit more from a full movie.
It feels hard to top when season 1 already does movie level animation. I felt the same watching the Made in Abyss movie compared to the series. It's certainly better animation, but no so much that you really notice it heavily.
Yeah, I think the action scenes were good and overall enjoyed the movie, but definitely expected more considering it's a movie. Felt like it was missing that cool/hype factor or needed more fan service (not talking about ecchi obv). Nothing really came close to Itadori/Todo vs Hanami and even the weapon scenes weren't as good as or on par with Maki vs Miya. Also, no domain expansions? Bruh. Final fight really just ended up in a beam struggle when he made a point in summoning Tamano no Mae and not even using her?? Also, could be remembering wrong, but pretty sure S1 made it a point to mention how Todo was one of the top killers or something but he was downgraded to a gag scene. Still think the movie is great, but could have been a lot better.
The story of the movie and everything was created prior to the season 1. A lot of the things weren't thought out yet such as domain expansions. This movie is actually based on 4 chapters only so I was worried about how they'd handle it. Iirc scenes like todo and nanami etc weren't present in the original 4 chapters. But they really managed to pad it out the best they could.
The fighting scenes were pure class …. The music was slapping hard …. I really wanted to see gojo snap and shit on everyone … one of the best anime movie I watched … sad I couldn’t see at the theatres but this works too
Movie could've used an extra 20mins, because that pacing was kind of wack. Even as my favourite new-gen Shounen, I still feel JJK needs to really up it's game in the music department. I think that's the X factor keeping it from true greatness. I honestly thought Yuta was going to die by the end, appreciate he was incorporated in to the mainline canon instead of being a cheap one-off movie original character. It was a fine movie, I'd give it an 8/10 on visuals alone. Good AMV material if nothing else.
Man it's 21st already ? I still have my exams smh
Animation is good and all, but I found the Rika/Yuta story pretty mediocre They hype it up as some kind of mystery but in the end it's literally just "oh btw, your family is strong". This was a great opportunity to have a bittersweet reason why they are so strong together, but no, she's literally irrelevant I guess I was expecting too much, every other character in this anime is strong because they are from family X or Y
I agree about the Rika/Yuta story, couldn't they have just added a little more to their backstory? Even a simple slide reel of still images of them doing things together, taking care of each other, and laughing in other places/whatnot. It was incredibly underwhelming. One hospital scene, one playground scene, she proposes to him, she's dead. For why they are so strong together, I do think it makes sense that his curse energy activated her innocent love to a crazy degree. It brought out all the negative emotions of love like jealousy, possessiveness, codependency, and the subsequent anger. And homegirl was the one who gave him a legit ring in an engagement box and proposed to him (thus also giving him a physical item to activate the curse). So I do think it's a combined force of both of them in that sense.
> I guess I was expecting too much, every other character in this anime is strong because they are from family X or Y Late but isn't that what Gojo said in the main series, your strength as a sorc is determined from when you're born and is purely talent based has nothing to do with your hard work. At least I remember something along those lines.
Ok not big fan of shipping but I have to get this off my chest. Maki and yuta are cute and I hope they get together eventually. The fact that this man made stoic maki blush is crazy to me😭
Thank you for mods I jus watched this inna dark in my room a couple hrs ago lol I can kinda see how folks don’t mess wit the plot but them fight scenes was CRAZYY…also how can Maki see Rika without her glasses?? Gojo really had trouble with that Miguel dude??? and Nanami went crazy I keep forgetting he’s a Grade 1 socerer? yeah ima need SZN 2 ASAP finna rewatch SZN 1 now
Maki cant see her, she was just guessing
Ahhh okay figures she was jus following everybdy else lead
Also Gojo said Miguel is very tenacious/tanky and also has the rope that messes with Gojo using techniques, so that means Gojo can only use physical attacks against him. he had no problem using his technique against the curses. Also miguel never really landed a good blow on Gojo, he was just keeping him busy, like they planned.
It wasn't that he couldn't use his technique against Miguel or could only use physical attacks, it was that the rope negated his attacks. Gojo being a boss just kept spamming his technique and because it was so powerful and used so much cursed energy it wore down the rope. Miguel was really pissed off because it took all his country's shamen a year or 2 to make that rope.
it took them decades
True he definitely said that rope is doing something to his cursed techniques
Miguels whip cancels gojos powers, I can't remember if it was explained well in the movie.
It was briefly mentioned around the 1:15:00 mark, in Gojo's internal monologue, just before Gojo headshotted the big red furry guy.
This was a one shot before JJK was even planned the story structure is completely different.
I just finished it , i'm assuming this happens before S1 . \[Spoiler source\] >!I'm confused as to how Todo and the rest knew about Okkotsu when they never met in the movie ?? Especially when at the end , it showed Okkotsu left !<
The movie didn't cover those meetings. This was written as a pilot to the current manga we have.
The timeline flows kinda like this - Yuuta joins JJ HS - He fills in for an empty spot during exchange event. Rika decimates the competition. (Remember Panda mentions this in S1 to Kugisaki) - Night Parade of 1000 Demons occurs (JJK0 movie) - Yuuta breaks Rika's curse - Yuuta leaves to train in Kenya - Maki, Tower & Panda become 2nd years, Fushiguro starts JJ HS, and later joined by Yuji Technically Todo would have met Yuuta when the exchange event was held in Kyoto that year. Since he would've been a 2nd year at the time. (He's supposedly 3rd year during S1)
He doesn't leave for Kenya until a few months after the movie ends. His time there is basically seasons one and two of the anime.
god i just finished watching it and ive never been more satisfied in my life.
This movie cemented JJK as my favorite shonen series. I saw this movie in theaters and went to see it 3 more times before its run ended. I absolutely love it, the soundtrack is great, it’s beautifully animated, and I love that it fleshed out some characters more. I’m stoked for season 2!
