Synopsis:

The story follows Yuji Itadori, a high school student who becomes involved with a secret society of sorcerers called Jujutsu Kaisen, who fight curses—evil beings that haunt the living world. To protect his friends and the innocent, Yuji decides to join the jujutsu sorcerers as a student-in-training under the tutelage of Satoru Gojo, the strongest sorcerer of all.

Finally, the first season of the anime premiered in October 2020 and had 24 episodes animated by the MAPPA .

Also, what did you think of the design of the villain Ko-Guy in the anime in the last episode of Jujutsu Kaisen?
