1. Hidden Inventory / Premature Death

Years before the main story, Satoru Gojo and Suguru Geto are students at Tokyo Jujutsu High. Gojo is already an exceptionally powerful sorcerer, while Geto can manipulate cursed spirits.

They are assigned to protect Riko Amanai, the Star Plasma Vessel who must merge with Master Tengen. The mission becomes increasingly dangerous when the assassin Toji Fushiguro enters the picture.

Toji defeats Gojo and kills Riko. Geto is unable to stop him.

Gojo survives by awakening the reverse cursed technique. He returns stronger than ever and defeats Toji.

The mission fundamentally changes both Gojo and Geto. Gojo becomes increasingly detached because of his overwhelming power, while Geto begins questioning whether protecting ordinary people is worth the suffering sorcerers endure.

Eventually, Geto becomes a curse-user and decides that non-sorcerers should be eliminated. Gojo is forced to confront his former best friend.

2. Jujutsu Kaisen 0

Yuta Okkotsu is haunted by the cursed spirit of his childhood friend, Rika Orimoto. Rika's curse is extraordinarily powerful, causing Yuta to be treated as a dangerous threat.

Gojo brings Yuta to Tokyo Jujutsu High, where Yuta meets Maki Zenin, Toge Inumaki, and Panda.

Yuta gradually learns to control his abilities and becomes a powerful sorcerer.

Suguru Geto launches the Night Parade of a Hundred Demons, attempting to overwhelm the jujutsu world while obtaining Rika's enormous cursed energy.

Yuta fights Geto and ultimately defeats him.

Afterward, Gojo finds Geto and confronts him privately. Their relationship ends tragically.

Yuta continues his development as a sorcerer and eventually becomes one of the most important figures in the larger story.

3. Introduction of Yuji Itadori

The main story begins with Yuji Itadori, an unusually athletic teenager who joins his school's Occult Research Club.

Yuji encounters a cursed object: one of Sukuna's fingers.

Megumi Fushiguro, a jujutsu sorcerer, arrives to retrieve it. The finger attracts curses, putting Yuji's friends in danger.

To save them, Yuji consumes the finger.

He becomes the vessel of Ryomen Sukuna, the legendary King of Curses.

Sukuna immediately demonstrates his terrifying power, but Yuji is somehow able to suppress him.

The higher-ups initially decide that Yuji should be executed. Gojo intervenes and arranges for Yuji to remain alive temporarily so he can consume Sukuna's remaining fingers before eventually being executed.

Yuji becomes a student at Tokyo Jujutsu High alongside Megumi and Nobara Kugisaki.

4. Early Missions

Yuji, Megumi, and Nobara begin working as a team.

Their missions introduce them to the brutal reality of jujutsu society.

Yuji encounters Mahito, a curse capable of manipulating the souls of humans. Mahito becomes one of Yuji's most important enemies.

During a mission at a juvenile detention center, Yuji is apparently killed after Sukuna removes his heart.

Sukuna refuses to cooperate, and Yuji's friends believe he is dead.

However, Gojo secretly trains Yuji while keeping his survival hidden.

5. Kyoto Goodwill Event

Tokyo Jujutsu High and Kyoto Jujutsu High hold a competition.

Yuji suddenly reveals that he is alive, shocking his classmates.

The students fight one another until curses and curse-users attack the event.

Yuji and Todo fight together against Hanami.

Meanwhile, Mahito and other curses continue their plans against jujutsu society.

6. Death Painting / Origin of Obedience

Yuji, Megumi, and Nobara investigate a series of deaths connected to cursed wombs.

They encounter Eso and Kechizu, two of the Death Painting Wombs.

Yuji and Nobara fight them together and win.

Megumi develops his abilities further and reveals a powerful new technique.

The victory is bittersweet because the Death Paintings are connected to a much larger mystery involving Kenjaku, cursed experiments, and the history of jujutsu.

7. Shibuya Incident

The curses and curse-users launch their largest attack yet.

Gojo enters Shibuya and fights several powerful curses.

The enemy's main objective is to seal Gojo.

Using the Prison Realm, they successfully seal him.

Without Gojo, the balance of power changes dramatically.

Yuji, Megumi, Nobara, Nanami, Maki, Toji's revived body, and numerous other sorcerers fight throughout Shibuya.

Sukuna takes control of Yuji's body after a series of events and causes enormous destruction.

Jogo is killed by Sukuna.

Mahito fights Yuji and Todo.

Mahito seriously injures Nobara.

Yuji nearly breaks emotionally, but Todo helps him continue fighting.

Yuji eventually defeats Mahito, although Kenjaku arrives and absorbs Mahito.

The true mastermind is revealed to be Kenjaku, who has been possessing different bodies throughout history.

Shibuya ends in catastrophe.

Gojo remains sealed.

Thousands of people are dead or transformed.

Yuji is once again sentenced to execution.

8. Itadori's Extermination

Yuta Okkotsu returns to Japan.

He is ordered to execute Yuji.

Yuta fights Yuji and seemingly kills him, but Yuta secretly uses reverse cursed technique to revive him.

Yuta explains that he has his own reasons for protecting Yuji.

The jujutsu world becomes increasingly unstable.

Megumi's connection to the Zenin clan becomes more important.

9. Perfect Preparation

Maki returns to the Zenin clan.

Her family attempts to suppress her.

After Mai sacrifices herself, Maki's Heavenly Restriction reaches its full potential.

Meanwhile, Kenjaku's plans involving Tengen, cursed energy, and Japan move forward.

The surviving sorcerers begin preparing for the Culling Game.

10. The Culling Game

Kenjaku establishes a massive ritual involving players across Japan.

Yuji, Megumi, Yuta, Maki, Hakari, Panda, and others enter different colonies.

Their goals include:

rescuing Tsumiki freeing Gojo obtaining points changing the rules of the game stopping Kenjaku's plan

Yuta fights through the Sendai Colony and demonstrates just how powerful he has become.

Hakari battles Kashimo and eventually defeats him.

Megumi faces increasingly dangerous opponents.

Yuji encounters Higuruma, a former lawyer whose cursed technique creates a courtroom.

Higuruma eventually understands Yuji's character and chooses to help him.

The group continues gathering allies and information.

11. Tsumiki and Yorozu

Megumi's sister Tsumiki is revealed to have become involved in the Culling Game.

However, the situation is far worse than Megumi realizes.

Sukuna eventually transfers himself from Yuji into Megumi's body.

This is one of the most devastating moments in the story.

Sukuna takes control of Megumi and uses his Ten Shadows Technique.

He also defeats and kills Yorozu, who had possessed Tsumiki's body.

Megumi's consciousness is crushed by the deaths and suffering Sukuna forces upon him.

Gojo prepares to fight Sukuna.

Before the battle, the surviving characters prepare for the possibility that Gojo may die.

Gojo and Sukuna finally fight.

Their battle becomes one of the greatest confrontations in the series.

Gojo uses Limitless, Six Eyes, Hollow Purple, and his Domain Expansion.

Sukuna uses his own Domain Expansion and adapts to Gojo's techniques through Mahoraga.

The battle pushes both characters to their limits.

Eventually, Sukuna uses Mahoraga's adaptation as the model for a slash capable of cutting through the space Gojo occupies.

Gojo is killed.

13. Shinjuku Showdown

After Gojo's death, the remaining sorcerers begin fighting Sukuna one after another.

Kashimo challenges Sukuna and is defeated.

The fight becomes a massive succession of battles as the sorcerers attempt to separate Sukuna from Megumi and finally defeat him.

Yuji becomes one of the central fighters against Sukuna.

His abilities continue developing, and his connection to Sukuna's existence becomes increasingly important.

14. Yuji vs. Sukuna

Yuji eventually becomes capable of directly challenging Sukuna.

His attacks target the connection between Sukuna and Megumi.

Megumi's resistance begins to matter.

Sukuna continues fighting despite enormous injuries and exhaustion.

The surviving sorcerers repeatedly sacrifice themselves or risk death to create openings for Yuji.

The final confrontation becomes less about defeating Sukuna through overwhelming strength and more about saving Megumi and separating Sukuna from him.

Yuji refuses to give up on Megumi.

15. The End of Sukuna

Yuji ultimately succeeds in separating Sukuna from Megumi.

Sukuna refuses Yuji's offer of a different path.

His existence as the King of Curses finally comes to an end.
