Honestly, there isn’t much difference between how they act in this volume compared to how they are in the series proper. Fortunately, there exists a mysterious school of Jujutsu Sorcerers who exist to protect the precarious existence of the living from the supernatural! While the television series was noted for having entertaining fight scenes, the team wanted to improve them. Allegra Clark saw Maki as a more vulnerable and angry character than in the television series, but found the character changed in the course of the narrative.

Tokyo Prefectural Jujutsu High School booklet was given to the film's audience members; it had a print run of 5 million copies. In the NPD Group, the manga was ranked as the fifth-best-selling manga between late November 2021 and early January 2022.

The site's consensus is " Jujutsu Kaisen 0: The Movie offers a thrilling, beautifully animated gift for fans of the anime – and a story that holds up as a standalone effort. Sakayume" was supposed to be recorded simultaneously on the CD single released on December 29 as a companion song to "Ichizu".

Matthew David Rudd, the voice of Panda, said that the inclusion of his character was a " baller" moment. The film was announced in March 2021 in the credits of the final Jujutsu Kaisen episode of the first season of the television series. However, Sukuna is NOTHING like Rika and is very much in it for himself, not caring who is hurt (or killed) in the process. Rika died in a freak accident and became an overprotective spirit that harms anyone who threatens him. Gojo convinces Yuta to enroll, but can he learn enough in time to confront the Curse that haunts him?Fearing for Yuta's safety, Gojo sends Panda and Toge to the school, where they and Maki clash with Geto, who severely wounds them. Seki had little-to-no understanding of his character, due to how comical and simple he is shown in contrast to the more elaborate characterizations from the rest of the cast.

A novel adaptation by Baraddo Kitaguni, based on Hiroshi Seko's script, was published on the film's premiere date. He’s able to summon Rika with the promise ring he still has (it’s not a Ring Pop, btw, I was just being silly).

In June 2021, the "Juju Fes 2021" MAPPA revealed to the audience the first poster of Yuta and Rika, with Akutami himself drawing his own rendition to celebrate. Critics found Yuta more compelling than Jujutsu Kaisen 's Yuji Itadori who, while having several similarities with Yuta, has different characterizations.

All the characters have a deep effect on the progression of the story even though Yuta's development in the span of 1:45 minutes comes a bit fast it's still extremely satisfying seeing him grow. I wasn’t expecting the parallels between Yuji and Yuta, which really adds an extra layer to the current arc we’re in right now.One of the most important pieces of information that comes out of Volume 0 is tied to the Cursed Spirit known as Rika and spoken by Suguru Geto: "Surreal. Produced by MAPPA, the film follows Yuta Okkotsu, a young student who becomes a sorcerer and seeks to control the Cursed Spirit of his childhood friend Rika Orimoto in Jujutsu High, alongside other skilled sorcerers in training.
