Earlier today, Crunchyroll announced that Jujutsu Kaisen 0 finally has a United States and Canadian theatrical release date. The prequel movie, which was released in Japan in late December 2021, is set to arrive in the U.S. and Canada on March 18.

This news came by way of a press release, which also included a brand new trailer. You can check out the official teaser theatrical teaser trailer and synopsis below:

When they were children, Rika Orimoto was killed in a traffic accident right before the eyes of her close friend, Yuta Okkotsu.

“It’s a promise. When we both grow up, we’ll get married.”

Rika became an apparition, and Yuta longed for his own death after suffering under her curse,

but the greatest Jujutsu sorcerer, Satoru Gojo, welcomed him into Jujutsu High.

There Yuta meets his classmates, Maki Zen’in, Toge Inumaki, and Panda, and finally finds his own determination.

“I want the confidence to say it’s okay that I’m alive!”

“While I’m at Jujutsu High, I’ll break Rika-chan’s curse.”

Meanwhile, the vile curse user, Suguru Geto, who was expelled from the school for massacring ordinary people, appears before Yuta and the others.

“This coming December 24th, we shall carry out the Night Parade of a Hundred Demons.”

While Geto advocates for creating a paradise for only jujutsu sorcerers, he unleashes a thousand curses upon Shinjuku and Kyoto to exterminate all non-sorcerers.

Will Yuta be able to stop Geto in the end?

And what will happen to breaking Rika’s curse…?

The press release also states that the film is coming soon to the U.K., Ireland, France, Germany, Belgium, Luxembourg, Austria, Switzerland, Sweden, Finland Netherlands, French-speaking Africa and Latin America, and additional territories.
