Jujutsu Kaisen focuses on Yuji Itadori’s heartbreaking arc as the vessel for the King of Curses, but the series broadly explores what it’s like living in a world that favors the strongest jujutsu sorcerers, and treats younger or weaker ones as disposable cogs within the societal machine. These storytelling draws, combined with MAPPA’s astonishing visual artistry, have rightfully earned Jujutsu Kaisen its record-breaking popularity.
