JUJUTSU KAISEN 0 Returns to Theaters with New Trailer and Visual!

Big news for JUJUTSU KAISEN fans! During a special stage event held in Tokyo to celebrate the launch of JUJUTSU KAISEN: Hidden Inventory / Premature Death – The Movie, it was officially announced that JUJUTSU KAISEN 0 will be returning to Japanese theaters on October 17, 2025.

Yes, you heard that right—this 2021 hit film is being “resurrected” for a special theatrical re-release, and fans are already hyped. To kick off the announcement, a brand-new trailer and key visual were revealed, once again shining a spotlight on the emotional bond between Yuta Okkotsu and his childhood friend Rika, who was transformed into a cursed spirit.

This re-release isn’t just a replay of the original—it’s meant to reignite the excitement and celebrate the prequel’s critical and commercial success. It also connects beautifully with the current momentum of the franchise, especially with the upcoming projects MAPPA has in the works.

Why JUJUTSU KAISEN 0 Matters

For those unfamiliar, JUJUTSU KAISEN 0 is a prequel to the main JUJUTSU KAISEN anime series. It follows Yuta Okkotsu, a young boy haunted by the cursed spirit of his deceased friend, Rika. He enrolls at Tokyo Jujutsu High under the guidance of Satoru Gojo, the fan-favorite teacher, to learn how to control the curse and protect others. The story is deeply emotional and action-packed, offering a powerful standalone experience while also enriching the main storyline.

What Else Is Happening in the JUJUTSU KAISEN Universe?

The re-release news comes at a perfect time as the franchise continues to grow. A new movie titled JUJUTSU KAISEN: Hidden Inventory / Premature Death is already rolling out, adapting Gojo's tragic backstory. Meanwhile, MAPPA is currently working on a new anime series that will adapt the Culling Game Arc, though a release date hasn’t been announced yet.

If you're looking to catch up, Crunchyroll currently streams both seasons of the JUJUTSU KAISEN anime as well as the JUJUTSU KAISEN 0 film. The platform describes the story as a dark supernatural action series, where the main protagonist, Yuji Itadori, becomes a vessel for the evil sorcerer Ryomen Sukuna after swallowing a cursed object.

With the film returning to theaters and new arcs on the way, now is the perfect time to dive back into the world of jujutsu sorcery.
