In addition, a special character video and a new teaser visual were released. The premiere of the first two episodes coincided with the release of the film "Jujutsu Kaisen: Shibuya Incident Special Edition × Pre-Premiere of the Extermination Game ," which was shown today, November 7th , in Japanese cinemas.
During the announcement, Yusa commented humorously:
“Passing an audition is rare (laughs). I was very happy, especially because it’s such an impactful role. I will give my best in the performance.”
The teaser visual shows Yuta Okkotsu and Yuji Itadori facing off in an intense duel, revealing the clash between two disciples of Gojo Satoru . The visual highlights the contrast between Yuta's cold gaze and Yuji's desperate resistance.
