Jujutsu Kaisen is the story of Itadori Yuji, an ordinary boy with extraordinary physical abilities. One day he chances upon a cursed object–Ryomen Sukuna’s finger. Sukuna, “King of Curses”, was once the most powerful Jujutsu sorcerer in existence. When Itadori sees a classmate getting attacked by a curse, he swallows the finger, hoping to gain enough power to save the student. Since then, Sukuna and Itadori share one body. Itadori joins Tokyo Jujutsu High School to learn how to exorcise curses and eventually defeat Sukuna.
