Jujutsu Kaisen: Execution continues the intense narrative of Gege Akutami’s hit series, focusing on the aftermath of the Culling Game and the deepening chaos within the Jujutsu world. Early reports suggest the movie will adapt one of the manga’s most emotionally charged arcs — a battle between ideologies, friendship, and the cost of power. Fans are especially eager to see key characters like Yuji Itadori, Megumi Fushiguro, and Yuta Okkotsu return, as well as the lingering consequences of Satoru Gojo’s imprisonment.
