Jujutsu Kaisen

is an unnaturally fit high school student living in . On his deathbed, his grandfather instills two powerful messages within Yuji: "always help others" and "die surrounded by people." Yuji's friends at the Occult Club attract Curses to their school when they unsealed a rotten finger talisman which Yuji swallowed to protect Megumi Fushiguro and their friends, becoming host to a powerful Curse named Ryomen Sukuna. Due to Sukuna's evil nature, all sorcerers are required to exorcise him (and by extension, Yuji) immediately. But upon seeing Yuji retaining control over his body, Megumi's teacher brings him to the Tokyo Prefectural Jujutsu High School with a proposal to his superiors: postpone Yuji's and train under Gojo until he consumes all of Sukuna's fingers so the Curse can be completely destroyed. At the same time, a group of cursed spirits plot a multi-layered attack on the world of jujutsu sorcery, including the Cursed spirit Mahito and a sorcerer named Suguru Geto, who was "killed" by Gojo a year prior. At the exchange event between the Tokyo and Kyoto jujutsu schools, the Kyoto school's principal wants Yuji dead immediately, while others side with Gojo to keep Yuji alive. Gojo and Geto failed to protect a young girl from Toji Fushiguro, Megumi's father, an assassin from the Zenin clan. Geto decides the world must be cleansed of non-sorcerers so no more Cursed spirits can manifest.

The disfigured Kyoto Jujutsu Tech second-year student Kokichi Muta, who pilots Mechamaru, is revealed to be a mole. Geto and the cursed spirits lay a screen over . Various sorcerers arrive at the scene to fight them. Gojo fights off cursed spirits and exorcises Hanami, but is sealed away by Geto in the Prison Realm. The event also confirms that Geto is dead, his corpse possessed by an evil ancient sorcerer named Kenjaku. Yuji and his allies face Kenjaku's forces with both sides suffering losses, with Gojo still trapped. As the incident ends, Kenjaku reveals that he has been jumping from body to body for thousands of years and implanted Binding Vows, which in turn awakens thousands of new sorcerers throughout Japan including Tsumiki. He then releases many Curses onto Japan, the first step into creating chaos and a world of Cursed spirits like the .

In the aftermath, Yuji and Megumi team up with second-year student and Yuki Tsukumo, a special grade jujutsu sorcerer and one of the most powerful sorcerers of all time along with half-human, half-Curse Choso and second-year student Maki Zenin to meet with Tengen. Tengen, an immortal, part-Curse part-human jujutsu sorcerer, reveals Kenjaku's plan to merge Tengen's consciousness with Japan's human population. The Culling Game, Kenjaku's all-out war between the sorcerers and Curse users of Japan, then begins.
