The production team for the MAPPA studios film Jujutsu Kaisen 0 reported that the film has amassed 20.51 million ticket sales for a worldwide gross of 26.5 billion yen. However, The Numbers portal lists a worldwide box office of more than 195.87 million US dollars. Still, both figures place Jujutsu Kaisen 0 as the sixth most successful anime film of all time , not considering inflation.
The film has outgrossed Makoto Shinkai 's Tenki no Ko ( Weathering With You ), but is still behind Kimetsu no Yaiba: Mugen Ressha-hen , three Hayao Miyazaki films ( Spirited Away , Howl's Moving Castle and Pony ), as well as Makoto Shinkai 's film Kimi no Na wa ( Your Name ).
The film remained the highest-grossing film achieved in 2021 in Japan, surpassing that achieved by Evangelion: 3.0 + 1.0 Thrice Upon a Time (at the end of the year, the second was declared the winner since Jujutsu Kaisen 0 had not managed to overcome it). On the other hand, Gege Akutami began publishing the manga in Shueisha 's Weekly Shonen Jump magazine in March 2018. The work inspired a twenty-four-episode anime series broadcast in Japan from October 2020 to March 2021, and a second season is in production.
Synopsis of Jujutsu Kaisen 0
Yuuta Okkotsu is cursed. Ever since his childhood friend Rika died in a car accident, his ghost has stayed with him. But his spirit doesn't appear as the sweet girl Yuuta once knew. Instead, he manifests as a monstrous and powerful entity that fiercely protects him. Unable to control Rika's violent behavior, Yuuta finds himself powerless to stop the bloodshed that follows her brutal revenge. As a result, when he is imprisoned by "Jujutsu" sorcerers, the secret guardians of the world, trained to combat forces like Rika, Yuuta wishes to be completely isolated so no one else can be hurt.
However, his captor, the master sorcerer Satoru Gojou, has other plans for him: he will enter the Jujutsu High School and learn to control Rika in order to help people. Now, in his first year at this school, Yuuta begins to learn the arts of Jujutsu and fight evil beings. Along with his new companions Maki Zenin, an expert in Jujutsu weapons; Toge Inumaki, a sorcerer who uses his words as weapons; and Panda, a panda bear that seems to walk and talk, Yuuta begins to find his place in the world and, for once, to feel comfortable with his abilities. However, as his training progresses, Yuuta learns that the dangers of the Jujutsu world go far beyond evil spirits.
