Visuals & Trailers
One trailer has been released along with one illustration by Gege Akutami.
Both show Yuta Okkotsu, the main character of the upcoming movie, and his special grade curse, Rika.
Plot
Since the movie’s plot will adapt Volume 0 of the manga, the story will be much different from that of the anime. The main characters will be Yuta Okkotsu, Satoru Gojou, Zenin Maki, Inumaki Toge, and Panda.
Rika was the childhood friend of Yuta. However, he couldn’t bear her sudden death and denied reality, which ultimately led her to becoming a curse.
Gojou rescues him from execution just like he did with Yuji, and trains Yuta under Jujutsu High School.

SPOILERS AHEAD!This page contains spoilers from Jujutsu Kaisen.
Yuta in the Manga
Yuta’s past was revealed in Volume 0 of Jujutsu Kaisen. However, he made his debut in the actual Jujutsu Kaisen manga pretty recently in chapter 137 in the Yuji Execution arc .
Yuta is the appointed executioner of Yuji. There is a chance that Season 2 of the anime will adapt the arc. Thus, this film will act as a proper introduction to Yuta.
The film is bound to draw in a lot of audience, keeping in mind Jujutsu Kaisen anime’s colossal success. If the movie earns a decent amount, then its second season will also get a major boost.
Will the new movie give us an adrenaline rush just like its anime, or will it be even better? Fingers crossed!
