To gain the power he needs to save his friend from a cursed spirit, Yuji Itadori swallows a piece of a demon, only to find himself caught in the midst of a horrific war of the supernatural! In a world where cursed spirits feed on unsuspecting humans, fragments of the legendary and feared demon Ryomen Sukuna have been lost and scattered about. Should any demon consume Sukuna’s body parts, the power they gain could destroy the world as we know it. Fortunately, there exists a mysterious school of jujutsu sorcerers who exist to protect the precarious existence of the living from the supernatural! A mysterious cursed spirit with a grudge against Maki flies into Sakurajima Colony. It evolves with incredible speed from cursed womb to adult form and threatens to overwhelm Maki and Noritoshi. Just then, two other combatants join the battle…

This brought us some new characters and we learned more about fighting the curses. There was a little more philosophy in this one and that wasn't my favorite, but it might be important for world building and future books.
“Only once every thousand of years or so do such a person...with a phenomenal ability like this appear”(Jujutsu Kaisen 2).? After reading the second chapter of Jujutsu Kaisen, this was the favorite quote that I found. I think that it symbolizes not only the physical strength that Yuji Itadori possesses (seen from his fight with the monsters at the school), however, it also represents his big heart and care for others. This “phenomenal ability” is Yuji's ability to turn strangers into his dearest friends such as Gojo Sensei and Fushiguro. In complete contrast, we see that the higher-ups are selfish cowards, willing to kill teenagers like Yuji without hesitation even though he helped keep the Special Grade curse spirit under control. Because of the contrast in ideals and ideology, I think that is why readers come to love Yuji Itadori as a character. Yuji's unmoving motivation to make his grandpa's dream come true is what makes him such an entertaining character to read. Fighting for something bigger than himself, Itadori represents the good will that every human is composed of.
