Crunchyroll made the announcement that the beloved manga and anime will be coming to the big screen in original Japanese and English dubbed versions, in select cinemas.

The compilation film returns to the Hidden Inventory / Premature Death story arc of Jujutsu Kaisen which focuses on the younger days of Satoru Gojo and Suguru Geto.

According to a press release, the new release will feature “newly remixed sound for an immersive cinema experience.”

Since its debut in October 2020, Jujutsu Kaisen has become a global and pop culture phenomenon.

Produced by Toho animation and animated by MAPPA studio,  the series wrapped up its second season in December 2023 and was awarded Anime Of The Year at the 2024 Crunchyroll Anime Awards.

Jujutsu Kaisen: Hidden Inventory / Premature Death – The Movie is the first release since the end of the second series.

Fans can watch both series and the Jujutsu Kaisen 0 film on Crunchyroll here.

Elsewhere, the tune from the anime’s commercial bumps was recently sampled by Megan Thee Stallion on her song ‘Otaku Hot Girl’.

The song also kicks off with the English voice actor for the series protagonist Yuji Itadori, Adam McArthur, saying: “I like a tall woman with a nice big ass (Haha) / Just sayin’ / Like Grammy winner, Megan Thee Stallion.”

Megan said she had to “jump through eight million hoops” to appease MAPPA.

“So, I sent them the song and they told me, ‘OK, you gotta change some words’,” she explained. “So, I said, ‘OK, cool’ [and] I changed some words. Then they said, ‘OK, if you shoot a video to this song, you cannot cosplay any of the characters in the show,’ and I said, ‘OK, cool! I ain’t gon’ do it. I’m a follow the rules.’ I want the song real bad.”

More recently, the head of Crunchyroll, recently claimed that Gen Z Americans watch more anime than NFL (National Football League) games.
