Yuta Okkotsu
Yuta Okkotsu is a new character in the animated world of Jujutsu Kaisen and the protagonist of the film. He witnesses his close childhood friend, Rika, die and become a curse that ends up haunting him. This curse attracts the attention of Satoru Gojo, who convinces Yuta to enroll at Jujutsu High to learn the ways of Jujutsu. Will he be able to master the necessary skills to become a Jujutsu sorcerer? Although this is his anime debut, Yuta is a major part in the manga and they’ve even teased his existence in the first season, so he’s sure to become a part of the larger story.
Rika Orimoto
Rika Orimoto dies in a tragic childhood accident and her spirit turns into a curse. Her cursed form is a focus in the film, where it follows Yuta around wreaking havoc in his path. But before Rika died, she and Yuta were inseparable as children. They even promised to marry each other when they grow up. See JUJUTSU KAISEN 0 to find out if Yuta is able fulfill his promise to avenge Rika and save her spirit.
Suguro Geto
Suguro Geto is a force of evil in the movie. While Yuta works on honing his skills at Jujutsu High to save Rika, Suguru threatens to unleash the Night Parade of a Hundred Demons. He has an ominous and somewhat cryptic presence in the trailer, so just what are Suguru’s motives and how is he connected to what has taken place in the series so far? This is another character that has an active part in the manga, so uncovering his origin promises to expand the universe even further.
Satoru Gojo
Fan favorite and sensei extraordinaire Satoru Gojo is back, this time training the newcomer Yuta along with the other students at Jujutsu High. Always cool and collected, Satoru is one of the most powerful Jujutsu sorcerers we’ve seen in the anime so far.
