1. Recommended Main Narrative Order
To experience the story in its intended flow, begin with the first season of 'Jujutsu Kaisen' (2020), which introduces the core premise and characters. Follow this with the prequel film 'Jujutsu Kaisen 0' (2021). Proceed to the second season of 'Jujutsu Kaisen' (2023), which covers the 'Hidden Inventory/Premature Death' arc and the 'Shibuya Incident' arc. For those who prefer a condensed format or additional footage, you may substitute the 'Hidden Inventory/Premature Death' arc with the 2025 compilation film 'Jujutsu Kaisen: Kaigyoku・Gyokusetsu', and the 'Shibuya Incident' arc with 'Jujutsu Kaisen: Shibuya Jihen Tokubetsu Henshuu-ban x Shimetsu Kaiyuu Senkou Jouei'. Note that the latter film also includes the first two episodes of the third season. Finally, continue the main narrative with 'Jujutsu Kaisen: Shimetsu Kaiyuu - Zenpen' (2026) and look forward to the upcoming conclusion, 'Jujutsu Kaisen: Shimetsu Kaiyuu - Kouhen'.
