According to the source, the contract in question requires all animators of Jujutsu Kaisen to maintain secrecy about the production. However, it seems that a large part of the team disliked the agreement and took their complaints to the internet.

"I have nothing to lose, so if you want to take me to court for complaining, I accept."

“Silencing the team from talking about how terrible the working conditions are is ironic. I don’t care at this point because, yes, the schedule is beyond awful, the fact that the work is done with any level of competence is incredible. I’m not going to compromise my health for a job that doesn’t cover my rent, much less any other expenses. My main job and my overall well-being mean more to me than the fear of being blacklisted.”

Furthermore, they also claim that the studio's work environment is chaotic, the pay is unfair, and the working hours are excessively harsh. Despite the situation, MAPPA has not released any response to this chaos.

Synopsis:

Since Yuji Itadori, a high school student, became involved with the secret society of sorcerers called Jujutsu Kaisen, he has been training to confront curses, evil beings that haunt the world of the living. Therefore, to protect his friends and innocent people, Yuji decides to join the jujutsu sorcerers as a trainee under the tutelage of Satoru Gojo, the strongest sorcerer of all.

The first season of the anime premiered in October 2020 and consisted of 24 episodes animated by Studio MAPPA. In addition, the studio also handled the animation for the film Jujutsu Kaisen 0, which takes place a few years before the main series and tells the story of young Yuta Okkotsu.
