Are you strong because you are a Jujutsu Kaisen fan, or are you a Jujutsu Kaisen fan because you are strong? The answer lies in living through all the emotionally wounding Jujutsu Kaisen movies, rife with visually striking character genesis and epic clashes.

With the Jujutsu Kaisen movie expanding the anime's slate, the magical curses, high-stakes sorcery, and dark secrets are accompanied by a rising tide of anticipation. Its dramatic visual experience must not be missed before a brutal new arc facilitates the storyline. 

Ahead of Season 3, now is the best time to catch up with the films that deepen its lore and set the stage for the future. 

Jujutsu Kaisen 0 travels back in time to the events that happened before the start of the main series. It chronicles Yuta Okkotsu's Cursed Spirit clinging to him, and the early connections and misfortunes of Satoru Gojo and Suguru Geto. 

In 105 minutes, this 2021 movie lays down the motivations and resolves the backstories that will be heard again in the future arcs of the series. It includes Yuta's involvement with fellow students Maki Zen'in, Toge Inumaki, and Panda, who showcased their distinct abilities as well.

Viewers can watch the Jujutsu Kaisen 0 movie on Crunchyroll in English, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, and other languages besides the original Japanese. While Crunchyroll offers 7 days free for a $7.99 monthly subscription, the film can also be rented or purchased on Apple TV or streamed on Netflix in some regions.

Once familiarised with this prequel to the Jujutsu Kaisen television series, the ideal chronological order is to sandwich it between the two available seasons on Netflix. However, the two newer movies fill in more gaps in the plot.

Though it may seem confusing at first, the Jujutsu Kaisen new movies remain crucial to deepening the comprehension of the cult-favorite characters' mental and emotional states, as well as what to expect in season 3. 

Jujutsu Kaisen: Hidden Inventory Premature Death – The Movie is a theatrical compilation of the beloved and intensely emotional "Hidden Inventory / Premature Death" arc of the anime's second season. Satoru Gojo and Suguru Geto's high school days and high-stakes missions get a big-screen glam in this movie.

Before they were enemies, Satoru Gojo and Suguru Geto were best friends and partners in chaos. The movie distributed by GKIDS Films goes back to the spooky “Star Plasma Vessel” that involved fighting with curses and the events that split up the two once close friends. 

In North America and the US, the movie was released in theaters on July 16, 2025. Jujutsu Kaisen Hidden Inventory Premature Death The Movie comes with cinematic sound and animation remastered to be seen on the silver screen.

While the Jujutsu Kaisen Hidden Inventory movie zooms into the mundane moments of the strongest and the deadliest sorcerers' younger days with heartwarming stills, a new movie to mark the end of 2025 does the opposite of going back in time and nostalgia.

Just when the world was reeling in the origins and fallout of the soulmate besties, a glimpse of the dark times set to arrive early next year shook the theaters.

Next up, Jujutsu Kaisen: Execution - Shibuya Incident x The Culling Game Begins, is the third film in the series, initially released on November 7, 2025, in Japan. It will be in theatres on December 5, 2025, along with a limited IMAX preview on December 3 in the United States, with tickets available on AMC Theatres, Fandango, Atom Tickets, Cinemark, Cinepolis Cinemas, and more.

This film is the link between the mess left behind by Season 2 and the forthcoming Culling Game arc. The film recounts the climax of the "Shibuya Incident" and also shows the audience the first peeks of high-stakes conflict in Season 3. Special Grade sorcerer Yuta Okkotsu carries out the order of Yuji Itadori’s execution, but does he? 

Jujutsu Kaisen: Execution reveals the emotional aftermath of enormous sacrifices, conspiracies, and rampant curses to prepare fragile hearts for the heavy Culling Game saga that will be the defining feature of Season 3. Its intense action makes it a must-watch before the new schedule drops.

These three Jujutsu Kaisen movies cement the bleak backstories and ideologies that divide the most powerful Jujutsu sorcerers. They take the audience through the characters' inner feelings on the big screens. They become an emotive map to guide the audience through every treachery, every curse, and every heartbreak ahead of Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3's January 2026 premiere on streaming platforms.
