An advanced form of Cursed Technique is Domain Expansion (領域展開, Ryōiki Tenkai), which the users build a pocket dimension of variable size.

Gojo has Yuji's execution postponed until he consumes all twenty of Sukuna's fingers, so the Curse can be eliminated permanently with his death.

The group is led by mysterious sorcerer and Curse User Suguru Geto, supposedly killed by Gojo a year prior.

Yuji is devastated after Mahito kills his friend Junpei Yoshino, experiencing first-hand the harsh reality of the Jujutsu world he has become part of.

After regaining consciousness, Yuji witnesses Mahito killing his mentor and Gojo's colleague Kento Nanami and severely wounding Nobara, breaking him emotionally.

Yuta, whose loyalty lies with Gojo, helps Yuji fake his death, and teams up with him to meet Master Tengen—an immortal, part-Curse part-human sorcerer.

Tengen reveals Kenjaku's plan to merge the former's consciousness with Japan's human population through the "Culling Games"—a battle royale between all the awakened sorcerers to accumulate a massive amount of Cursed Energy.

Yuji and his allies seek out a mysterious woman known as "Angel", who can free Gojo and help rescue Megumi's stepsister, Tsumiki, from participating in the Culling Games.

Kenjaku captures Tengen, and, after finding Angel, Yuji and Megumi learn that Tsumiki's body has been taken over by an ancient sorcerer, Yorozu.

Kenjaku is confronted by Fumihiko Takaba, a sorcerer that proves to be an effective distraction, allowing Yuta to catch him off-guard and behead him.

Manga author Gege Akutami first published Tokyo Metropolitan Curse Technical School, a four-chapter series that ran in Jump Giga from April 28 to July 28, 2017.

[6] According to Hiroyuki Nakano, the chief editor of Weekly Shōnen Jump, Jujutsu Kaisen received unanimous approval in the serialization committee.

[12][13] Other manga artists who influenced Akutami include Masashi Kishimoto (Naruto) and Yusuke Murata (Eyeshield 21 and One-Punch Man illustrator).

[9] The magic system of Jujutsu Kaisen is largely inspired by Hunter × Hunter, whose fights, in Akutami's words, "rejects emotional arguments", stating however, that like Daisuke Ashihara [ja], World Trigger's author, whose magic system is also similar to Togashi's series, Akutami was trying to find and develop an own style.

[15] On June 9, 2021, it was announced that the manga would enter on hiatus due to the author's health issues;[16][17] it resumed publication on August 2 of the same year.

[22][23] Written and illustrated by Gege Akutami, Jujutsu Kaisen was serialized in Shueisha's Weekly Shōnen Jump magazine from March 5, 2018,[2][8] to September 30, 2024.

[45][46] In June 2021, a free-to-play role-playing mobile game, titled Jujutsu Kaisen: Phantom Parade, developed by Sumzap, was announced.

[53][54] A fighting video game, titled Jujutsu Kaisen: Cursed Clash, developed by Byking and Gemdrops, and published by Bandai Namco Entertainment, was announced in July 2023.

The cast included Ryūji Satō as Yuji Itadori, Kazuaki Yasue as Megumi Fushiguro, Erika Toyohara as Nobara Kugisaki, Sara Takatsuki as Maki Zen'in, Fūma Sadamoto as Toge Inumaki, and Takeshi Terayama as Panda.

"Jujutsu Kaisen the Real 4-D" attraction uses 4D cinema effects (such as sprays of water and moving seats) for an entirely original animation in about 20 minutes long.

Other attraction is a roller coaster called "Jujutsu Kaisen × Hollywood Dream – The Ride (Kaikai Kitan)" which ran until January 18, 2023.

[73] From April 25 to May 18, 2025, Universal Studios Hollywood will open the Jujutsu Kaisen: Hunger of the Cursed attraction based on the series, as part of the Fan Fest Nights event.

[74] In October 2022, Crunchyroll and BoxLunch announced their merchandise collaboration for the series' photo experience spots alongside My Hero Academia, in select stores in the United States.

[77] On July 9, 2024, McDonald's released a limited-edition Special Grade Garlic Sauce, available exclusively through its mobile app, in collaboration with the Jujutsu Kaisen franchise, and eight different characters from the series were printed on the lid of each dipping sauce container, including Yuji Itadori, Megumi Fushiguro, Nobara Kugisaki, Satoru Gojo, Kento Nanami, Suguru Geto, Mahito, and Ryomen Sukuna.

[87][88] On a 2021 survey conducted by Line Research asking Japanese high school students what manga series they are currently into, Jujutsu Kaisen topped the rankings for both girls and boys.

[89] Along with Akuta no Shinigiwa and Shitsugai-ki Shitsu Chome Tanpenshū, Jujutsu Kaisen ranked thirteenth on Takarajimasha's Kono Manga ga Sugoi!

[135] In North America, the volumes of Jujutsu Kaisen were ranked on Circana (formerly NPD) BookScan's monthly top 20 adult graphic novels list since January 2021.

Douresseaux praised the series for its characters, plots, settings, and internal mythology, and described it as a "combination battle manga and horror comic book".

[142] Hannah Collins of CBR found parallels between Yuji and Sukuna and Marvel Comics characters Eddie Brock and Venom.

Collins commended the manga and, regarding its then recently announced anime adaptation, concluded that Jujutsu Kaisen is a "darkly enjoyable action series that's sure to be one to watch out for in 2020".
