The prequel film of the anime series ‘Jujutsu Kaisen’ is now available on Crunchyroll.
The wait has been long since it premiered in Japan in 2021, but Jujutsu Kaisen 0 has finally arrived at Crunchyroll Spain, both dubbed into Spanish and subtitled after its successful passage at the Spanish box office.
The story is set a year before what happened in the series, concentrating mainly on the story of Yuta Okkotsu, a teenager with a curse that has accompanied him since childhood and who ends up using it to his advantage thanks to the fact that he is accepted at the Institute of Sorcery in Tokyo.
Jujutsu Kaisen 0 has already been a worldwide success, grossing more than 185 million dollars after its premiere in Japan, the United States, and Latin America. Thus achieving that, the film has taken seventh place as the highest-grossing anime film in the world.
Although it is one of the compelling reasons to see the movie, we have put together seven reasons why Jujutsu Kaisen 0 is considered one of the best anime films of recent years:
1. ‘JUJUTSU KAISEN 0’ IS THE BEST OPPORTUNITY TO START ENTERING THE WORLD OF THE SERIES
If Jujutsu Kaisen has always caught your attention, but you have never had the opportunity to start it, what better than to do it with Jujutsu Kaisen 0? The film is a perfect starting point to delve into the world of Gege Akutami’s sorcerers.
However, for anime fans, these can serve as subtle omens and parallels to what lies ahead for the main story throughout the film. Also noteworthy is the post-credits scene that connects to the future of the anime series.
2. YUTA OKKOTSU IS THE PERFECT PROTAGONIST FOR THIS MOVIE
Yuta Okkotsu is, without a doubt, the perfect protagonist of Jujutsu Kaisen 0. Interestingly, Gege Akutami initially intended for him to be the protagonist of the main series rather than Yuji Itadori.
However, he should be this prequel’s protagonist rather than the entire series.
Okkotsu will steal the hearts of all viewers thanks to its story which is not only about sorcery and hunting curses.
Instead, it tries to strengthen oneself, strengthen self-confidence, form important bonds, and take responsibility in the name of love.
3. THE ACTION SCENES ARE PERFECTLY EXECUTED
The fight scenes in Jujutsu Kaisen 0 are perfectly choreographed and synchronized masterfully, in the purest MAPPA style, the studio behind the anime series, Shingeki no Kyojin or the next Chainsaw Man.
This experience changes radically from the small screen of television to the big screen of the cinema. So being able to enjoy these perfectly executed and wonderfully animated scenes in a big way is a great experience.
4. THE SOUNDTRACK IS JUST AMAZING
The anime series Jujutsu Kaisen was already recognized for its memorable son-born band, and Jujutsu Kaisen 0 was not going to be less, maintaining this characteristic of fiction and even surpassing it in terms of what is traditionally expected of Jujutsu Kaisen.
Hiroaki Tsutsumi and several other artists have been commissioned to create this perfect soundtrack that perfectly captures the film’s essence. While other anime movies tend to have soundtracks that may be a bit out of place, with Jujutsu Kaisen 0, it doesn’t happen at any point.
5. THE FILM REVEALS IMPORTANT EVENTS THAT OCCURRED IN THE PAST
In the anime series, Yuta Okkotsu’s name appears quite frequently. Megumi says Yuta is the only senior she can respect. However, because of his strength, he was too powerful to participate if it occurred in the first season.
The film thus provides context to Yuta’s reputation. In addition
Spoiler: The Night Parade of the Hundred Demonsit has also come to light in Jujutsu Kaisen, and Jujutsu Kaisen 0 deals with this important event.
6. THE FILM FAITHFULLY AND PERFECTLY ADAPTS THE MANGA
The most diehard fans of Jujutsu Kaisen, who keep their manga up to date, can be in luck because it perfectly adapts the volume on which it is based.
The source material has been adapted carefully and exceeded the fans’ expectations.
The film fully captures the importance of content to the main plot. However, in a broader scheme, Jujutsu Kaisen 0 surpasses this detail thanks mainly to the magnificent animation and expert creation of its characters.
7. YOU GET TO EXPLORE MORE IN-DEPTH ALREADY KNOWN CHARACTERS
For fans who have seen Jujutsu Kaisen, this film explores more in-depth characters already known and loved by many, thus getting to know more about, for example, Suguru Geto or Satoru Gojo. The film delves into their stories, making Maki Zenin, Toge Inumaki, and Panda shine.
