Jujutsu Kaisen has rapidly become one of the most popular shonen anime ever. Featuring fluid animation, exhilarating fights, and an intense storyline, the series only keeps getting better with each episode.

As the progression of events in the Jujutsu Kaisen anime is often nonlinear, it can be confusing for fans to watch. To assist in this area, we have prepared a complete guide on how you can watch the Jujutsu Kaisen anime.

Jujutsu Kaisen Watch Order

The first and most obvious manner of watching the series is the order in which it was released. Many fans believe that watching the anime in the studio’s intended order maximizes enjoyment and prevents spoilers for dramatic twists.

For those who wish to watch Jujutsu Kaisen in its release order, the order is:

  • Jujutsu Kaisen Season 1 – Episodes 1-24 (TV Anime)
  • Jujutsu Kaisen 0 (Movie)
  • Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 – Episodes 25-47 (TV Anime)

The Jujutsu Kaisen 0 movie features events that take place before the main series, but does this mean you can skip it?

Do You Need to Watch the Jujutsu Kaisen 0 Movie?

The Jujutsu Kaisen 0 movie should definitely be watched by fans. While they may choose to watch it before or after Season 1, it should undoubtedly be watched before Season 2. 

This is mainly because the movie featured characters who played a big role in the Shibuya Arc in Season 2. It sheds light on an important character in the future of Jujutsu Kaisen – Yuta Okkotsu. Additionally, the movie also gave us several moments with Gojo, Maki, Panda, and Inumaki while letting us glimpse into their past selves.

Apart from its canonicity to the main series, Jujutsu Kaisen 0 is simply a very fun and well-made movie. It has dynamic action sequences, a new kind of Cursed Technique, and an amazing antagonist by the name of Suguru Geto.

Missing out on it will make you feel disconnected from Season 2 of the anime, especially a big twist during the Shibuya Arc, which led to Gojo being imprisoned. Hence, we highly recommend the Jujutsu Kaisen 0 movie.

Can You Reorder Jujutsu Kaisen?

While we have already explored all the seasons and movies to watch in Jujutsu Kaisen, it is not completely necessary to watch them in the order of their release. There is also the option of the chronological order.

This would mean that viewers can enjoy the series in the order of its events while following a consistent timeline. While this might spoil a few future scenes, it removes the complexity of the order of events. Therefore, fans might be able to understand the story much easier by viewing it chronologically. The way to reorder Jujutsu Kaisen is:

  • Gojo’s Past  
    • Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 – Episodes 25-29 (TV Anime)
    • Jujutsu Kaisen Chapters 65-79 (Manga)
  • Jujutsu Kaisen 0 (Movie)
  • Jujutsu Kaisen Season 1 (TV Anime)
  • Evening Festival 
    • Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 – Episodes 30-31 (TV Anime)
    • Jujutsu Kaisen Chapters 79-82 (Manga)
  • Shibuya Arc
    • Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 – Episodes 32-47 (TV Anime)
    • Jujutsu Kaisen Chapters 83-136 (Manga)

Watching the series like this will allow you to keep track of each event and is preferred by a part of the fandom. 

Where to Pick Up the Manga After Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2

Right after the events of the anime, you can pick up the Jujutsu Kaisen manga from chapter 137. This will begin with a short 7-chapter arc titled Itadori’s Extermination, where Yuta Okkotsu was tasked with executing Yuji Itadori.

The first main manga arc after the anime, however, was the Culling Game Arc, where all our favorite Sorcerers entered a maniacal death game. Orchestrated by Kenjaku, Itadori and his friends had to prevent the villain’s plan of merging Tengen with humanity and find a way to free Gojo.

Fans of Jujutsu Kaisen will be happy to know that the Culling Game Arc’s anime adaptation has been confirmed by Studio MAPPA and it will be released soon.

Conclusion

There are multiple ways to enjoy the action-packed Jujutsu Kaisen. Several arguments for the release order as well as the chronological order are made. At the same time, both have their own set of benefits while adding to the depth and development of Jujutsu Kaisen’s story.
