What is Jujutsu Kaisen?
Jujutsu Kaisen is a shōnen-type manga drawn and written by Gege Akutami. It has been pre-published in Weekly Shōnen Jump magazine since 2018. We owe the French version to the publisher Ki-oon. Due to the author’s state of health, the series experienced a few interruptions: one in February 2021 and the other in June of the same year. Given the success of the work, an anime adaptation aired between October 2020 and March 2021. It currently comprises a single season with 24 episodes. The manga will soon reach its 167th chapter at the time of this writing (end of November 2021). For those who prefer the animated format, it will take patience because the second season is not for the time being. Meanwhile, a movie called Jujutsu Kaisen 0 has been announced.
What is the release date of the film Jujutsu Kaisen 0 in France?
The project was revealed shortly after the anime’s first season was completed. Then, during JujuFes 2021, the event dedicated to Jujutsu Kaisen, the Japanese release date of this new production was announced: December 24th, 2021. Unfortunately, for us, France does not have the right to a simultaneous broadcast. But don’t panic, the film will obviously hit our country. After all, the manga and the series are so popular that it would be strange for the creators to withhold this production from the international audience. Only here we don’t have a specific window at the moment. As for season 2, it is possible to see the feature film arrive in the west in 2022.
Again, this will be speculation as little information was known about the transmission of Jujutsu Kaisen 0 in France. It is very likely that it will arrive in our dark rooms. In fact, in December 2020, the Crunchyroll platform announced that Jujutsu Kaisen had more than 1.5 million views in France. In other words, this is the best start of a series on the simulcast service since it came to us over 8 years ago. Given such numbers, one can only imagine the commercial impact of a theatrical release, if only for one event. However, fate can decide otherwise. Like season 1, the film will likely be available on Crunchyroll.
What is the plot of Jujutsu Kaisen 0?
First of all, it is important to remember this Jujutsu Kaisen 0 is a prequel.
We follow the adventures of Yuta Okkutsu, a young man haunted by the ghost of his late childhood friend in a tragic accident. But it is not a ghost like the others, because the little girl takes the form of a monstrous creature who protects him against her will. At that time, a well-known figure from the basic work appeared: Satoru Gojo, professor at the Tokyo School of Exorcism. The latter will propose to Yuta to train him so that he can face whatever haunts him.
Gang Annance de Jujutsu Kaisen 0
Jujutsu Kaisen 0 was released before Jujutsu Kaisen. Nevertheless, the “sequel” from 2018 has become the main story. Tokyo School of Exorcism then became a prequel to this other story and eventually changed its name. Race Result: Volume 0 takes place before the adventures of Yuji Itadori, although we don’t know exactly how long it was between the two stories. If new characters are obviously to be expected, it is above all the moment to find familiar faces, starting with the protagonist Okkutsu and the exorcist Satoru Gojo.
Who will direct and write the film Jujutsu Kaisen 0?
Unsurprisingly, we at the Realization Park Seong-ho, who was also behind the animated series Jujutsu Kaisen. It is therefore a safe bet for the film, especially since it is adorned with a résumé for the less qualitative. He has previously worked on Guilty Crown in 2011 and Fairy Tail in 2009. As for getting the script from the manga to the big screen, it’s that time again Hiroshi Seko who took care of it. In addition to Jujutsu Kaisen, this big name in this area has mainly donated the scripts of many other mythical cartoon series such as Kill la Kill and Mob Pyscho 100.
Who is working on the film Jujutsu Kaisen 0?
Overall, the team that worked on this film is the same that worked on the animated series Jujutsu Kaisen. That has something to calm the fans down. This puts the animation back in the hands of the Study MAP study to which we owe The God of Highschool and the final season of Attack on Titan, among others. In addition, the music is composed of the brilliant trio Hiroaki Tsutsumi (Dr. Stone, Tokyo Revengers), Yoshimasa Terui (Houseki no Kuni) et Arisa Okehazama. At the side of the new faces we have the famous ones in the artistic direction Higashi Junichi (City Hunter, Detective Conan) while the CG parts are taken over by the artist Kentaro Kimura.
