The first few episodes of Jujutsu Kaisen feel like an anime you’ve seen a million times before. Yuji Itadori is a powerful yet clueless rascal with a heart of gold who gets pulled into a world of fighting dangerous apparitions known as Curses.
Our rambunctious hero eats a cursed finger (which … grody) and swells with a power that is not entirely his own, with a powerful spirit named Sukuna possessing him. Now to cultivate his powers and save people, he needs to be trained at a mystical academy where he meets his companions which include a stoic no-nonsense dark-haired peer (who totally isn’t Sasuke), a punky heroine who’s rough around the edges (definitely not Sakura), and a silly yet mysterious mentor who’s always wearing a face-covering (not Kakashi).
Jujutsu Kaisen proved that modern action with a mixed of slice of life could work.
