Jujutsu Kaisen Synopsis
In Jujutsu Kaisen, humanity exists under threat from the Curses, which are negative emotions in physical form. Our main protagonist, Yuji Itadori, swallows a powerful Cursed Object, a finger of Sukuna, a King of Curses.
Instead of dying, Yuji becomes Sukuna’s vessel, gaining immense power but risking his self-ownership. Yuji joins Jujutsu High to contain this threat, a school of sorcerers that battle Curses using Jujutsu, the art of manipulation of cursed energy.
The Jujutsu Kaisen manga, written and illustrated by Gege Akutami, began serialization in Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump magazine in March 2018. As of June 2024, it has over 26 collected volumes.
The anime adaptation, produced by the studio MAPPA, premiered in October 2020 and concluded its first season in March 2021. A second season aired from July to December 2023, and a sequel season focusing on the “Culling Game” arc has been announced.
Main Characters of Jujutsu Kaisen
Five main characters of Jujutsu Kaisen stand out to us. These characters are exceptionally great in each of their own story arcs. We have Yuji Itadori, Satoriu Gojo, Megumi Fushigiro, Nobara Kugisaki, and Yuta Okkotsu. Let’s have a closer look at each one of them.
Yuji Itadori
Yuji Itadori, the heart of the main characters of Jujutsu Kaisen, is a teenage boy forced into the world of jujutsu sorcery by a stroke of bad luck.
Driven by a strong sense of justice and a desire to help others, he swallows the finger of Sukuna, the King of Curses. Instead of dying, Yuji becomes Sukuna’s vessel and in turn, inherits immense power but one that’s bound to Sukuna forever.
Under the guidance of the powerful (and eccentric) Satoru Gojo at Jujutsu High, Yuji hones his incredible physical strength and learns to control cursed energy.
Yuji’s journey is one filled with challenges. Although his journey is long and difficult, it became the charm for many fans of the main characters of Jujutsu Kaisen.
His optimism and determination made him a lovable selfless character essential to any shonen manga.

Satoru Gojo
Satoru Gojo is a revered figure in the Jujutsu world. Mysterious as always, his backstory seems to hint at great power passed down through generations.
He is born into the prestigious Gojo clan renowned for their hereditary technique. The Six Eyes inheritor, Gojo, possesses unmatched perception and mastery over cursed energy.
Despite his immense power, Gojo’s personality is a total contradiction. He’s an eccentric mentor, known for his playful acts and his love for sweets. His blindfolds are a funny accessory and only exist as a self-imposed handicap to limit his already overpowered Six Eyes. However, beneath the playful facade lies a sharp mind and commitment to protecting the people he cares about.
Megumi Fushigiro
Megumi Fushiguro, the calm and collected intellectual of the Jujutsu Kaisen group, is a descendant of a complicated family. Descended from the powerful Zenin clan, he’s the sole heir after his genius father who left the clan.
Despite his legacy, Megumi isn’t interested in clan politics and always seems apathetic to it.
Megumi takes his spot as one of the main characters of Jujutsu Kaisen seriously, driven by a desire to protect the innocent and a belief in using his power for good. While he respects Gojo’s strength, Megumi can also be critical of Gojo’s methods.
Megumi’s true strength lies in his inherited technique, Ten Shadows. This allows him to summon powerful shikigami, which are skilled familiars created from cursed objects.

Nobara Kugisaki
Nobara Kugisaki came from a world far-fetched from the world of curses. Unlike her classmates with royal bloodlines or jujutsu inheritance, Nobara comes from a normal background in Morioka.
However, don’t leave her out of the main characters of Jujutsu Kaisen, because Nobara is a force to be reckoned with.
Nobara’s unique technique, the Straw Doll Technique, channels cursed energy into consecrated straw dolls and implements. She strategically uses these imbued objects to inflict physical harm on cursed spirits, often involving hammers and nails for an absolutely devastating impact.
Yuta Okkotsu
Yuta Okkotsu, the protagonist of Jujutsu Kaisen 0, became one of the main characters of Jujutsu Kaisen by carrying the weight of a tragic past.
Haunted by the lingering curse of his childhood friend Rika Orimoto, who died in a car accident, Yuta becomes a Special Grade Cursed Victim. Through his encounter with the eccentric Gojo, Yuta was enrolled at Jujutsu High.
Yuta possesses a kind and gentle nature. He deeply cherishes his bond with Rika and is determined to find a way to free her from her cursed state. However, his past trauma made him fear hurting others.
Thus it made him doubtful of fully embracing his power. However, later on through the support of his classmates, this changes.
