It would perhaps have been more impactful if the ongoing second season of Jujutsu Kaisen aired before the release of the spin-off movie Jujutsu Kaisen 0. The recently concluded "Hidden Inventory/Premature Death" arc takes place before the events of the film, itself a prequel to the first season of the popular anime. This means that we know exactly what awaits the two main characters, Satoru Gojo and Suguru Geto, whose final confrontation is depicted in Jujutsu Kaisen 0.
The consequences of the story are far-reaching, even if its scope – Get and Gojo are tasked with protecting a young girl who will be sacrificed to a powerful sorcerer to prevent its devolution into an unstoppable monster – is small. Geto's fall from grace kickstarts a series of events that continues to impact the story in the present, while also intimately affecting every member of Jujutsu High. There is a sense of melancholy and doom permeating throughout the arc, the knowledge (both from the point of view of the characters and also the audience) that something will go wrong adding to the horror of the story.
In just five episodes, we get to care about Gojo as more than just a powerful and goofy teacher – the Kakashi to Jujutsu Kaisen’s Naruto. Here, Gojo is a carefree teenager with incredible power. His best friend is similarly powered, and together they’re tasked with protecting the defenseless from things they will never be able to see – the toll of which becomes too big for both Gojo and Geto. This is particularly true of Geto, who is arguably the true protagonist of this arc, as he becomes one of the most complex and nuanced characters in the franchise. Though he initially believes in the work he's doing and in jujutsu sorcerers' mission to protect powerless humans from the cursed energy they bring to life, his powers condemn him to constantly absorb said energy, which he describes as "eating a dirty rag used to clean up shit and puke." The way he comes around on his mission and turns to wanting to kill all humans is harrowing yet inevitable and rather emotional as we see what this means for Geto's friendship with Gojo.

Of course, this is Jujutsu Kaisen, so things are not just dark and grim (and full of terrific horror imagery), but often hilarious too – from the characters breaking reality and morphing into cute "chibi" versions of themselves, to their constant quips in battle, to the many allusions to early '00s pop culture. Like Yuji watching Lord of the Rings in the first season, here we get jokes about idols from the time, and even a fantastic Digimon gag. These references help ground the characters in real life and in the time period, which makes the supernatural part of the story more impactful.
Jujutsu Kaisen returns with a prequel arc in the first part of its second season, delivering a thrilling and compelling origin story for one of the show's main villains and also for its most popular character. A change in director brings a more cinematic look and a focus on shot composition, which makes this one of the best-looking anime of the sea...
