About the anime

For those who are completely new to Jujutsu Kaisen, here is a brief summary of the entire series. Yuji Itadori is a high school student who joins his school's Occult Club and discovers that the members are sorcerers. One day, he eats a cursed talisman, the finger of Sukuna, a powerful demon, to protect his friends.

This results in Yuji becoming Sukuna's host, but he also discovers that he has inherited magic and can control it without Sukuna's interference. Yuji enrolls in the Tokyo Metropolitan Magic Technical College to consume all of Sukuna's fingers, which will enable a full exorcism to take place, freeing him from Sukuna's possession.
