Yuta Okkotsu, a high schooler who gains control of an extremely powerful Cursed Spirit and gets enrolled in the Tokyo Prefectural Jujutsu High School by Jujutsu Sorcerers to help him control his power and keep an eye on him.
Tbh, I never watched Jujutsu Kaisen before, but since I am curious, I decided to give it a chance. Well, as someone who never read or watch it, JJK 0 will give you a ground basis to understand the JJK universe. You won't get much confused since JJK 0 is a prequel.
The story
Yuta Okkotsu is cursed, or that's what he thought. A powerful Cursed Spirit, and also his childhood friend, is stuck in his body. To some extent, Rika always helps Yuta on every occasion. When someone bullied him, Rika will appear and protect Yuta at all costs. Sadly, a lot of them will die instantly.
To avoid more casualties, Yuta shut down his interaction with anyone else. Until... he gets enrolled in The Tokyo Prefectural Jujutsu High School. Thanks to Satoru Gojou, that will remind you of Kakashi from Naruto, Yuta is able to start his training at that school. Aside to control Rika's violent behaviour, he also will learn how to maximize his ability.
What I like...
Tbh, the premise of the story is interesting. It caught my interest instantly. One of my favourite parts is when Yuta is asked to accompany Toge Inumaki to do his duty. Since I have no knowledge about every character, I don't understand why Toge's word is limited. I mean... what on earth he can only say a word about sushi and food? It's like there is no meaningful word coming from his mouth.
So, when I know about Toge's ability, I am awed and understood perfectly about his behaviour.
Other than that, about the battle. I think Yuta's ability is so powerful. He can copy the other's power easily and in a much more powerful way. When he encounters Suguru, his trust towards Rika is undefeatable. Therefore, he finally can save Maki, Toge, and also Panda by himself.
Another Thought
When the battle broke down, I wish Satoru dan Suguru will duel meet face to face. But, their interaction at the end of the movie is enough. It shows how Satoru and Suguru have a deep connection. Then, I don't know, it just reminds me of the relationship between Dumbledore and Grindelwald in the Harry Potter Universe. It's so random but I think it's kinda similar.
Tbh, after watching the movie, I feel a little bit curious about the rest of the story. So, I decided to buy the manga. You guess what, JJK manga is the most expensive comic book that I ever bought T.T. Sigh. I just can hope the story is amazing as the price is...
Conclusion
If you haven't followed anything about JJK, JJK 0 can be your first choice. It will give you the taste and you won't be that much confusion. But, I do understand that JJK 0 will give a special meaning to the avid fans of JJK. So, whether you are new to this universe, or a fan, you will feel satisfied when watching this movie.
Well, actually it's been a while since I watched an anime movie at the cinema. The last anime movie that I watched must be Detective Conan the movie and it was before the pandemic. So, it's refreshing to watch JJK 0.
7 out of 10 stars.
