Jujutsu Kaisen is a Japanese manga-based anime series, created by Gege Akutami. The story is set in a world where cursed spirits feed on humans and fragments of the legendary demon Sukuna, which is currently residing in Itadori Yuji’s body. The word ‘Jujutsu’ is an umbrella that encompasses all curse-related mystical arts and refers to all spells and skills that sorcerers and cursed spirits use.
