Jujutsu Kaisen 0

The breakout shonen anime makes a successful leap to feature film.

Beneath its stylish action and gross monsters, there’s a infectiously good energy that makes it easy to love and hard to dislike, even when it gets extremely gory or just completely over the top. More importantly, Nakamura and Tang succeed in making this younger version of Gojo still feel somewhat vulnerable once he crosses paths with his old friend Geto. It would’ve been easy to just make this prequel all about them rather than Yuta, but Kaisen 0 wisely keeps the two men apart for much of the film, and the moments where they get to interact carry a sad longing for the simple days when they were just a couple of dudes who had the potential to be great together, had they not both gone down such tragically different paths. The film treats these characters like a big deal given their importance to the anime at large, but they really shine when they’re just allowed to be goofy teenagers, and Yuta begins to bond with them when he’s thrust into this strange new world. For a series that’s never afraid to suddenly take an absurd tone shift at random moments, there’s a surprising amount of warmth and tenderness that Jujutsu Kaisen 0 offers for its two leads and their doomed love. These debuts are often thrilling adventures of debatable canon that have the potential to bring in new audiences and give fans the rush of seeing beloved characters in a new medium. But in shifting protagonists from Jujutsu Kaisen’s primary hero—the overpowered, lovably stupid Yuji Itadori—to 0’s meek, timid Yuta Okkotsu (voiced in Japanese by Neon Genesis Evangelion legend Megumi Ogata, and by Kayleigh McKee in English), the new movie plays up the already disturbing and tragic elements of its world in a more personal way that Yuji’s hyperconfident viewpoint doesn’t always allow.

And I think support the film in general and supporting our work means that we can continue doing our work, and that’s special to us.” – Allegra Clark, Maki. “One of the things that I love about Jujutsu Kaisen, like why I was so happy to be a part of it, is because the whole thing is just dripping in style. You know, especially if something does well in Japan but doesn’t necessarily do well in the US, it doesn’t motivate companies to keep wanting to work with us and wanting to localise it.” – Allegra Clark, Maki. However, both herself and the entire cast are grateful that dubbed anime still receives so much love and support worldwide. Added motivation has to be for going to an IMAX theatre to experience Jujutsu Kaisen 0 on, not only a bigger screen, but with enhanced audio systems. In particular; fight sequences are incredibly smooth and the colour scheme is vibrant, complemented by expert cinematography and camera work.

“It was really cool to see some of their relationship, the background of their story arc and to see where they connected to each other. “It’s very freeing to come across a character who isn’t in a very specific place tonally. However, a character with such a limited range, in terms of spoken dialogue, can be a remarkable and fascinating challenge for the voice actors. “I knew that Yuji was an amazing main character and I knew that Yuta was sort of the first step main character type of thing. On the one hand, the Jujutsu Kaisen 0 voice cast have to continue the growth and development that made their characters so fantastic to watch in the main series. “For most of our characters, I’m sure we all felt this way, but when you are doing a series, you kind of land on what your character sounds like and who they are about halfway through the recording.

And Panda is not an actual bear, but an "abrupt mutated cursed corpse" (just go with me on this). And he's cute, because he looks just like a giant panda. The students are "cursed" or have curse-fighting abilities or weapons; Yuta's curse is the spirit of his dead girlfriend, which manifests in a really cool monster form that doesn't take kindly to people mistreating him. The animators enjoy depicting imaginative and extreme violence. She briefed me on the finger-eatin' bad insanity of the franchise, in which a kid who has swallowed a monster's finger develops a "Venom"-like symbiotic relationship — though far more poisonous — with that creature (called a "curse" in the show's parlance) while at an academy for curse-hunters. There's even a Professor X-Magneto dynamic between good mentor Gojo and his old friend-turned-anti-human-crusader Geto. While you can't swing a dead curse without hitting a genre trope, the film is its own jam — not surprising, but freaky and funny at times, and beautifully rendered. But the franchise, as my astute daughter informed me it would be, is also crazy, weird and cool.
