The closing chapter of Jujutsu Kaisen 0 stages the decisive clash of Yuta and Rika against Suguru Geto. Chasing a world ruled by sorcerers, Geto fights for Rika's power while Yuta gambles everything to set her spirit free.
The series opener introduces Yuji Itadori, an extraordinarily athletic teen whose ordinary life collapses when curses descend on his school. To save his friends, he swallows a cursed finger and becomes the unlikely vessel of the dreaded King of Curses.
Bound and blindfolded, Yuji faces interrogation from Satoru Gojo, who has set a secret execution in motion. Proving he can command Sukuna's power, Yuji is offered a grim reprieve: devour every one of the curse's scattered fingers first.
For Myself is the third chapter of Jujutsu Kaisen. Yuji clears Principal Yaga's brutal test of his resolve, enrolls at Tokyo Jujutsu High, and then leaves with Megumi to bring in the last first-year, Nobara Kugisaki.
Yuji and Megumi meet Nobara Kugisaki, the last of Tokyo Jujutsu High's first-years. Gojo sends the newcomers into a haunted building by a graveyard to measure their skill against real cursed spirits.
The fifth chapter of Jujutsu Kaisen, titled Start. Nobara and Yuji finish off the spirits haunting an abandoned house and rescue a boy, she reveals what pulled her to Tokyo, and far away a deadlier special grade threat quietly takes shape.
Fearsome Womb is the sixth chapter. Gojo's three first-years accept a rescue job at a juvenile detention center, clash sharply over their differing values, and discover too late that a special grade horror is already loose among the dead inside.
Chapter seven, Fearsome Womb, Part 2, pins Yuji and Megumi under an unbeatable special grade cursed spirit, pushing Yuji to gamble everything on freeing Sukuna while Megumi scrambles to drag Nobara clear of the detention facility to safety.
The eighth chapter of Jujutsu Kaisen, titled Fearsome Womb, Part 3, sees Sukuna seize Yuji's body and obliterate the rival special grade curse, only to turn on Yuji himself with a ruthless scheme that endangers the boy's life.
Fearsome Womb, Part 4 is the ninth chapter of Jujutsu Kaisen. Megumi Fushiguro faces a Sukuna who fully controls Yuji's body. Hopelessly outmatched, he searches himself for why he fights and what saving Yuji ever truly meant.
Following the cursed womb incident, a sinister alliance of curses plots humanity's ruin while Gojo uncovers how his absence was used to get Yuji killed. Tokyo's second-years rally Megumi and Nobara, and Yuji's fate remains uncertain.
Inside Sukuna's mental domain, Yuji is pushed into a dangerous bargain to come back from death. Meanwhile Gojo lays out his vision for remaking the sorcerer world, and the curses already plot how to remove him from the board.
Two threats brew at once. The curses scheme to bring down Satoru Gojo, with the volcano spirit Jogo eager to do it himself, while back at Jujutsu High the students drill their weak points and Gojo begins teaching Yuji the basics of harnessing cursed energy.
The thirteenth chapter of Jujutsu Kaisen, titled Watching Movies, puts Yuji through an unusual emotional control drill while Satoru Gojo runs into the unregistered special grade curse Jogo on a quiet road.
The fourteenth chapter of Jujutsu Kaisen, titled Assault, stages Gojo's roadside clash with the special grade curse Jogo, where the strongest sorcerer turns a one-sided beatdown into a lesson for Yuji.
While Gojo and Jogo keep up their fight, Yuji watches from the sidelines and finally learns what Domain Expansion actually is, witnessing firsthand the staggering, overwhelming power that his teacher quietly commands in battle.
Trapped under Gojo's interrogation, Jogo is yanked free by Hanami and the curses fall back to Mahito, their hidden leader. In a separate scene, Kyoto Jujutsu High's students arrive to taunt Tokyo, and Aoi Todo is itching to test the first-years.
Chapter seventeen of Jujutsu Kaisen. A pair of Kyoto students arrive to scope out their Tokyo rivals, and when Megumi gives an underwhelming answer about Aoi's taste, a two-front brawl erupts that the second-years must break apart.
Bottom, the 18th chapter of Jujutsu Kaisen, ends the rivalry between the Zenin sisters, sends Gojo to corner the Kyoto principal about Yuji, and shifts to a grisly Kawasaki crime scene tied to Mahito.
Chapter 19 of Jujutsu Kaisen, titled Young Fish and Reverse Punishment, pairs Yuji with the no-nonsense Kento Nanami on a movie-theater murder case while the lone witness, Junpei, seeks out the killer for darker reasons.
At Kinema Cinema, Yuji and Nanami uncover a grim truth: their targets were once human, warped by a cursed spirit's power. As Yuji debuts his Divergent Fist, the culprit Mahito explains to Junpei where curses really come from.
Young Fish and Reverse Punishment, Part 3 deepens Mahito's manipulation of Junpei while Nanami plans the hunt for the deformation killer. The teacher descends alone to confront the cursed spirit underground.
Young Fish and Reverse Punishment, Part 4 begins the subterranean fight between Kento Nanami and Mahito, where the curse shows off his soul-reshaping power. On the surface above, Yuji crosses paths with Junpei for the very first meeting.
Nanami's brawl with Mahito hits its peak once the ex-salaryman declares himself on overtime and ends it with one decisive strike. Across town, Yuji quietly questions Junpei about the theater deaths and, without realizing it, becomes his friend.
The action takes a breather as Yuji shares a quiet meal with Junpei and his mother, while Nanami and Mahito each recover from their underground fight and a cursed object draws danger toward the Yoshino home.
Grief over his mother's death pushes Junpei into Mahito's grasp and a thirst for revenge. As the sorcerers keep watch, Junpei storms his school and nearly beats a classmate to death, only for Yuji to arrive at the worst moment.
In Chapter 26 of Jujutsu Kaisen, Yuji ignores his superiors and rushes to reach Junpei before the boy throws his life away. Their brawl ends with the young sorcerer choosing persuasion over a killing blow as he tries to draw a grieving classmate back toward the living.
Chapter 27 of Jujutsu Kaisen turns hope to horror as Mahito betrays Junpei to reach Sukuna, and the boy's senseless death awakens a furious new awareness in Yuji, who first learns to strike at the soul itself.
I'm Gonna Kill You! is the 28th chapter of Jujutsu Kaisen. Yuji, denied Sukuna's help, throws his fury at Mahito in a brutal clash where Mahito reshapes his own body into weapons, until Nanami arrives to rescue the badly wounded boy.
Growth is the 29th chapter of Jujutsu Kaisen. Nanami enters the brawl beside Yuji, the two sorcerers corner Mahito, and the thrill of nearing death finally drives the cornered curse to remold his soul and unleash his Domain Expansion.
Selfishness is the 30th chapter of Jujutsu Kaisen. Caged in Mahito's Domain and braced to die without regret, Nanami recalls the bakery woman whose thanks gave his life meaning, just as Yuji breaks in and Sukuna tears the Domain apart.
Tomorrow is the 31st chapter of Jujutsu Kaisen. Mahito slips away into the sewers, Nanami treats Yuji and acknowledges him as a sorcerer over a talk about natural death, and Junpei's downfall ripples through his old school.

The 36th chapter of Jujutsu Kaisen, the third team-battle part of the Kyoto Goodwill arc. Tokyo's students decode the plot aimed at Yuji and race to shield him, while Aoi resolves to draw out the rookie's buried strength.
The fight between Yuji and Aoi peaks as Aoi guides his rival toward a deeper command of cursed energy. While Yuji unlocks new growth, Momo presses her duel with Nobara and Panda, only for Panda to spring a hidden trap on Mechamaru.
Panda squares off against Mechamaru and learns his rival is no mere puppet but a remotely piloted weapon. As their clash of philosophies escalates, Panda absorbs a devastating blast and rises again in a startling new form.
The 39th chapter of Jujutsu Kaisen. Borrowing his brother's strength, Panda reverses his duel with Mechamaru, the two rivals end up understanding one another, and Kasumi learns how dangerous Maki really is.
The 40th chapter of Jujutsu Kaisen. Maki proves far stronger than Mai had ever claimed, stunning Kasumi, while Momo tries to lecture Nobara on the unfair burdens women sorcerers shoulder, and observers in the viewing room debate Maki's overlooked rank.
The 41st chapter of Jujutsu Kaisen. Nobara refuses Momo's plea to excuse Mai over family suffering, and the moment the rookie from Tokyo pulls ahead, Mai steps in to take her down, which finally draws Maki in to avenge her protege.
Chapter 42 of Jujutsu Kaisen brings the Zenin sisters to blows at last. Mai resents Maki for quitting the clan and for the weight of measuring up, but Maki lays bare the gap between them and leaves her sister beaten and broken.

Jujutsu Kaisen's forty-ninth chapter, Constrained, follows a now-elevated Yuji and his partner Aoi as they trade blows with a Hanami who, rather than dreading the duel, starts to savor it.
