Description
Yuta Okkotsu is a nervous high school student who is suffering from a serious problem—his childhood friend Rika has turned into a curse and won't leave him alone. Since Rika is no ordinary curse, his plight is noticed by Satoru Gojo, a teacher at Jujutsu High, a school where fledgling exorcists learn how to combat curses. Gojo convinces Yuta to enroll, but can he learn enough in time to confront the curse that haunts him?

Key opinion
Jujutsu Kaisen 0 is a visually polished production that succeeds as an emotional character study of the protagonist's growth for many viewers. However, the film receives criticism for its thin narrative structure and perceived status as franchise filler that may alienate those not already invested in the series lore.
| Cinematography | The animation quality is high, specifically highlighting expressive character design and fluid, high-stakes combat sequences. | |
| Screenplay | The narrative successfully tracks the protagonist's emotional evolution from a cursed individual into a sacrificial hero. | |
| Accessibility | The film functions as an effective, standalone entry for newcomers while serving as essential fan service for series enthusiasts. | |
| Screenplay | The screenplay is viewed by some as a compelling character-driven prequel, while others see it as a disjointed collage that fails to provide sufficient depth or motivation for its plot. | |
| Pacing | Opinions on the action sequences are split, with some praising the destructive intensity of the choreography and others finding the battles unremarkable or inferior to the series proper. |
