JUJUTSU KAISEN - Episode Highlights
Episode Highlights
Ryomen Sukuna
The first episode masterfully introduces the world of Curses and the protagonist, Yuji Itadori. It establishes his incredible physical prowess, his compassionate nature driven by his grandfather's final words, and the central conflict of the series when he swallows Sukuna's finger to save Megumi, making a fateful, life-altering decision.
This episode sets the entire plot in motion. Yuji's transformation into Sukuna's vessel establishes the primary goal of the series and introduces the fundamental concepts of Cursed Energy and Jujutsu Sorcerers, laying the groundwork for everything that follows.
Curse Womb Must Die -II-
The first-years' mission at a detention center goes horribly wrong when they encounter a special-grade curse. The episode demonstrates the terrifying power gap between the students and high-level threats. It culminates in Yuji allowing Sukuna to take over, who easily defeats the curse but then rips out Yuji's heart, leading to the protagonist's first death.
This episode is a brutal reality check, establishing the high stakes of the series and showing that no character, not even the protagonist, is safe. It solidifies the volatile and dangerous nature of the pact between Yuji and Sukuna.
To You, Someday
A brutal and emotionally devastating episode where Yuji is forced to fight Junpei Yoshino, a boy who was manipulated and transfigured into a monster by the curse Mahito. Yuji is unable to save him, forcing him to confront the cruel reality and limitations of his desire to help everyone.
This episode is a crucial turning point for Yuji's character. It shatters his initial naivety and hardens his resolve, establishing his deep-seated rivalry with Mahito and cementing his understanding that being a sorcerer involves immense loss and difficult choices.
Hidden Inventory 4
The climax of Gojo's past arc. After being seemingly killed by Toji Fushiguro, a young Satoru Gojo pushes his abilities to the absolute limit, mastering Reverse Cursed Technique and unleashing his devastating Hollow Technique: Purple for the first time. He transcends his limits and becomes "the honored one."
This episode is fundamental to understanding Gojo's character, his immense power, and the origins of his god-like status. It also marks a turning point in his friendship with Geto, as Gojo's ascension to a new level of power begins to create a rift between them, setting Geto on his dark path.
The Shibuya Incident - Gate, Open
The villains' plan to neutralize Satoru Gojo comes to fruition. Despite Gojo's overwhelming display of power, including a 0.2-second Domain Expansion to minimize civilian casualties, he is emotionally stunned by the appearance of his dead friend Geto's body, now controlled by Kenjaku. This hesitation allows him to be sealed within the Prison Realm.
This is arguably the most impactful event in the series. The sealing of the world's strongest sorcerer completely upends the power balance, plunging the world into chaos and forcing the remaining characters to face an unprecedented crisis without their invincible protector.
Thunderclap, Part 2
A showcase of raw, destructive power. After Megumi is pushed to the brink and summons the untamed Shikigami Mahoraga, Sukuna takes over Yuji's body to fight it. The resulting battle lays waste to a significant portion of Shibuya, demonstrating the terrifying, cataclysmic scale of Sukuna's power.
This episode provides the most visceral look at Sukuna's true strength and his interest in Megumi's potential. It highlights the immense danger Yuji carries within him and the sheer devastation he could unleash, leaving Yuji to grapple with the immense guilt of the destruction caused.
