“The innocent spring that the two strongest lost forever.” The tale of curses that you can’t miss out on is airing once again in theaters—. This is the innocent spring that the two strongest lost forever. June 2018, Yuji Itadori allows Ryomen Sukuna to inhabit his body. December 2017, Yuta Okkotsu frees the Curse, Rika Orimoto.

Their mission involves two goals. To escort and erase the Star Plasma Vessel, Riko Amanai, the young girl compatible with Tengen. The two set out on their mission to protect her for the continuation of Jujutsu society, but the Sorcerer Killer going by Fushiguro interferes, intent on assassinating the Star Plasma Vessel… The past that drove apart Gojo, the strongest jujutsu sorcerer, and Geto, the evilest curse user, will finally be revealed.
