 The 24th and final episode of Jujutsu Kaisen ended with an anime film announcement following its broadcast on Saturday. The anime film, titled Jujutsu Kaisen 0, will adapt the Tokyo Toritsu Jujutsu Koutou Senmon Gakkou (Tokyo Metropolitan Magic Technical School) four-chapter prequel manga.TOHO animation simultaneously opened an official website, revealing a teaser visual (pictured) and announcement promo. MAPPA will return to produce the film, with Toho in charge of distribution. The film will open in theaters in Japan this Winter. 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. Yet his apprehender, the master sorcerer Satoru Gojou, has different plans for him: he will join Jujutsu High School and learn to control Rika in order to help people. Now a first-year at this school, Yuuta starts to learn Jujutsu arts and combat malignant beings. Alongside his new classmates Maki Zenin, a Jujutsu weapons expert; Toge Inumaki, a spellcaster who uses his words as weapons; and Panda, a seemingly walking and talking panda bear, Yuuta begins to find his place in the world and, for once, to feel comfortable with his abilities. However, as his training progresses, Yuuta comes to learn that the dangers of the Jujutsu world go far beyond that of wicked spirits. [Written by MAL Rewrite] Akutami Gege ran the prequel manga in Jump GIGA from April to July in 2017. Shueisha published the manga as volume zero the following December.

| Hey this is good news lol. |
| >This winter I have no idea how mappa is still alive lol |
| Not surprised that the movie will be covering volume 0, but I'm glad it is. The material in 0 is pretty relevant for the stuff that'll be upcoming in JJK |
 |
| Didn't expect volume 0 to be covered but I was definitely expecting more of the series. Final episode is going to be a lot better for sure now. |
#Anime4Life be my Life Motto! #PrayForKyoAni  |
| I heard rumors about this a couple days back, nice to get confirmation. Gonna look forward to it. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol. |
| Great decision considering how the next few arcs in the manga are structured So fuckin hyped for the movie |
 |
| See you guys in 2 years from now.. |

Amoh25 said: Winter 2022 and blu ray release will take a while so probably at least summer 2022 for overseas viewers.What exactly do they mean by "This Winter"?

| Hopefully after that the weirdos from the tumblr will stop fantasizing that Maki and Nobara are lesbians. Especially Maki, considering her ship tease with the prequel protagonist. |
 |
| We gonna have to wait a minute for this, but It'll def be worth it. |

Just let people ship who they want. A ship doesn't need to be canon for people to like it. It may be annoying to you that people are shipping a non-canon ship but other people enjoy it and it doesn't harm anyone so just let them be? |

Tell that to the people who turned NobaMaki into the new MomoJiro and are trying to impose on everyone that your favorite character is a lesbian and you can't ship her with male characters. |

Huh, I’ve never seen anyone do that. And I’m on Twitter a lot (where usually all the drama starts). If people are like that then yes obviously that’s gross. |

My JJK's ship is a fanon itself, so I don't even think about starting ship wars because of this. But I remember MHA all too well and how hard I had to defend TodoMomo. Therefore, the obsession with this immediately began to annoy me. |

There are nobamaki shippers who are obsessed with imposing on everyone not to ship maki with any guy, they're also hating on the peaceful shippers (yutamaki fandom is in the minority here) and worse the harassment towards artists is already starting. They're love starting ship wars themselves. |
| Hypers, really looking forward to it! |

I hate when the more extreme shippers start fighting over this. Hopefully the anime movie will show some cute yutamaki moments |
 |
| great news, can't wait for the movie! |
| Despite how big Kaisen is, the prequel manga seems underrated, so I'm excited for more people to be able to experience it. |
Bum Bum Dum Dum |
| Damn, I didn't even know there was a prequel manga. Guess I've gotta read that soon. |
 Holy hell I'm so hyped for this |
