Jujutsu Kaisen follows Yuji Itadori, a high school student with unusual physical strength who is pulled into the world of jujutsu sorcerers after swallowing a cursed finger belonging to Ryomen Sukuna, the King of Curses. From then on, Sukuna shares his body, and Yuji enrolls at Tokyo Jujutsu High. The cast falls into three sides.

Third are the cursed spirits and the sorcerers who have turned against the jujutsu world.
