How to watch Jujutsu Kaisen in chronological order
So far, Jujutsu Kaisen includes two seasons of the anime series and one prequel movie titled Jujutsu Kaisen: 0. While the movie was released between seasons 1 and 2, the chronology can be a bit confusing as the second season’s first arc was also a prequel. A third season is expected to drop in 2024. This is how the sequence looks finally:
-
Jujutsu Kaisen season 2 (episodes 1-5) (Hidden Inventory/Premature Death arc)
-
Jujutsu Kaisen 0 (movie)
-
Jujutsu Kaisen season 1 (episodes 1-24)
-
Jujutsu Kaisen season 2 (episodes 6-23) (Shibuya Incident arc)
The series revolves around high-schooler Yuji Itadori who joins a shamanic school after accidentally encountering a cursed talisman (a demon’s finger). Under unlikely mentors like fan-favorite character Satoru Gojo, Itadori must discover the rest of the demon’s body and unravel a dark conspiracy.
To follow chronological events, one can even watch the second season’s Hidden Inventory/Premature Death arc (episodes 1-5) first as it explores Gojo’s backstory and his past friendship with the powerful sorcerer. These events are then followed by Jujutsu Kaisen 0, a prequel movie that offers more context behind a demonic force from the past and the early missions of the underground society of the Jujutsu Sorcerers.
What is the best order to watch Jujutsu Kaisen?
The best order to watch Jujutsu Kaisen is in order of the release date. This is because while the movie and season 2’s first arc act as prequels, watching them first might confuse first-time viewers. Instead, it’s better to get acquainted with franchise protagonist Yuji Itadori first in season 1 and then progressing to more detailed mythology in the prequels.
