jujutsu kaisen 0 movie release date: December 2021 confirmed for japan

As predicted, the release date for jujutsu kaisen 0 is confirmed for December 24, 2021.

From a financial perspective, the jujutsu kaisen movie was a no-brainer. the first season won crunchyroll’s anime of the year award for 2021 and blu-ray disc/dvd sales are extremely high, even surpassing all combined first week sales of all recent seasons of attack on titan and my hero academy.

The initial announcement was a bit vague as it only mentioned winter and not a specific year. The anime industry generally considers fall to be the months of October, November, and December, while winter is January, February, and March.

So why announce winter and then pick a December 2021 release date? The anime production committee is probably hoping to replicate the crazy blockbuster of the Demon Slayer: Mugen Train movie. November-December and May-July are typically considered the best times for a blockbuster movie to have a chance at a blockbuster release, while January and February are considered the “garbage months” for bad movies.

therefore, the announcement was referring to “winter” in a general sense, which meant that the jujutsu kaisen movie release date in japan will be scheduled for December 2021.

Jujutsu Kaisen movie USA release date in March 2022

An international release with an English dubbed jujutsu kaisen movie is being planned to optimize its chances in the US. uu. theaters and other countries such as the UK, Canada and more.

This time around the calculations are a bit more difficult as the anime production committee and the company buying the international rights will want to avoid competing with a big name American movie that will outshine the jujutsu kaisen movie in 2022.

For example, the movie Dragon Ball Super: Broly was released in Japan in mid-December 2018, while in the US. uu. Funimation’s release date was mid-January 2019. Despite being considered a trash month, Broly set box office records for an anime film.

Similarly, the demon slayer movie release date in usa. uu. It was placed in April 2021. Setting it a bit before the May blockbusters is probably the smartest move, though the timing was largely forced by Covid-19 restrictions and the reopening of America. theaters.

Based on the same logic, the jujutsu kaisen movie release date in the usa. uu. is programmed for optimal exposure against the competition. therefore, the movie jujutsu kaisen u.s. the release date is March 18, 2022.

Jujutsu Kaisen 0 movie story based on Jujutsu Kaisen Volume 0: Cursed Child Arc

The film’s story will adapt the Tokyo Metropolitan Curse Technical School Jujutsu Kaisen 0 manga. Creator Gege Akutami originally created this story as a one-shot manga, but it was later retroactively re-labeled as a prequel to the main manga series by calling it the cursed child arc.

jujutsu kaisen 0 tells the story of yuta okkotsu, the victim of a special grade curse. this character is mentioned by gojo in the anime and since yuta plays a role in the shibuya incident arc, it would make sense for the anime to adapt the story.

Without going into spoilers, the cursed child arc of jujutsu kaisen largely revolves around yuta feeling responsible for his actions and trying to regain his confidence as he feels he doesn’t deserve to be alive.

here is the official summary of the viz media story:

yuta okkotsu is a nervous high school student who suffers from a serious problem: his childhood friend, rika, has become a curse and won’t leave him alone. Since Rika is no ordinary curse, Satoru Gojo, a teacher at Jujutsu High, becomes aware of Rika’s situation, a school where rookie exorcists learn to fight curses. Gojo convinces Yuta to enroll, but will he be able to learn enough in time to face the curse that haunts him?

the movie jujutsu kaisen 0 will adapt only four chapters. while that doesn’t sound like much, volume 0 is 200 pages long, which is 8 pages more than volume 1. therefore, the movie’s runtime needs to be longer than an ova episode.

Jujutsu Kaisen 2 anime TV series could adapt Satoru Gojo’s Past arc

Anime fans are waiting for a jujutsu kaisen season 2 anime television series to be announced. while a second season is very likely in the long run due to the overwhelming popularity of the anime, based on the story arcs of the jujutsu kaisen manga series, it made more sense to create a movie first.

The first season adapted 64 manga chapters with 24 episodes, which means that the anime television series adaptation rate averaged about 2.66 chapters per episode.

As it happens, the manga’s next story arc deals with satoru gojo’s past. at 15 chapters, it would also have been a good choice for a jujutsu kaisen movie, as the running time would be about two hours or less, assuming the pace of adaptation stayed the same.

instead, jujutsu kaisen season 2 will start with the past gojo arc and then launch into the shibuya incident story arc, which is 58 chapters long, making it too long for a film adaptation. it is very likely that the second season will have at least two courses again.
