Recap of the Story So Far

Both previous seasons of Jujutsu Kaisen are available on Crunchyroll. The story follows Yuji Itadori, a high schooler who swallows a cursed finger to save a classmate, becoming the vessel of Ryomen Sukuna, the King of Curses. Guided by Satoru Gojo, Yuji trains at Tokyo Jujutsu High alongside Megumi Fushiguro and Nobara Kugisaki to battle curses born from human negativity.

Season 2 revisited Gojo and Suguru Geto’s past and climaxed with the Shibuya Incident in October 2018, where a deadly trap was sprung against the sorcerers. Season 3 now advances into the Culling Game Arc, setting up Yuji’s next perilous chapter.
