The year is 2006 and the hallways of the Tokyo
Prefectural Jujutsu Institute echo with endless discussions and intense debates
between two inseparable best friends. With unwavering confidence, Satoru Gojou
and Suguru Getou believe that there is no challenge too great for young and
powerful special grade sorcerers like them. They have been tasked with safely
delivering a sensible girl named Riko Amanai to the entity whose existence is
the very essence of the world of jujutsu. However, the mission plunges them
into an exhausting whirlpool of moral conflicts that threatens to destroy the
already tenuous friendship between sorcerers and ordinary humans.
Twelve years later, students and sorcerers are the
first line of defense against the increasing number of high-level curses born
from the negative emotions of humans. As entities grow in power, so do their
self-awareness and ambition. The curses come together with the common goal of
eradicating humans and creating a world of only cursed energy users, led by a
dangerous ancient cursed spirit. To get rid of their biggest obstacle - the
strongest sorcerer, Gojou - they orchestrate an attack on Shibuya Station on
Halloween. Divided into teams, the sorcerers enter combat ready to risk
everything to protect the innocent and their own kind.
