JUJUTSU KAISEN (呪術廻戦)

Morning.

So which one are you right now?

Aren't you...

Gojou Satoru.

I'm in charge of the first-years at Jujutsu Tech.

Jujutsu...

Fushiguro... Senpai!

What is this?

I'm not sure you should be worrying about others,

Itadori Yuuji.

It's been decided that you'll be secretly executed.

Jujutsu Kaisen

Episode 1: Ryoumen Sukuna

Itadori

Hello, Sugisawa Hospital.

Oh, this is Itadori.

I just called earlier.

Yes.

Yes.

I'm sorry to keep calling,

but how is my grandpa doing?

Huh? I thought they already told you.

Oh, please hold on.

I'll go ask myself.

Itadori-san never uses his call button.

It's actually scary that he doesn't.

Itadori-san, you have a phone call.

Yuuji-kun's asking if you want him to bring any—

Leave me alone!

Tell him not to come!

He should go to his club! His club!

What? What's going on?

You heard him.

What club are you in, Yuuji-kun?

I heard.

I'll come by tomorrow evening.

Miyashiro Prefectural Sugisawa Third High School

They're keeping a cursed object in a place like this?

Could they be any dumber?

There's nothing here.

Huh?

The Stevenson screen's empty.

For real? That's hilarious!

Maybe it took a nighttime stroll.

I'll punch you.

Well, no going home until it's recovered, okay?

I'm seriously going to punch him next time.

Ready to go?

Are you really sure,

Occult Phenomenon Research Club

Sasaki-senpai?

Iguchi-senpai?

Okay, here we go!

Spirits, spirits, please tell us...

Which creature is the council president just barely weaker than?!

Ku

Ku-ri-o-ne (sea angel)?

ri

o

ne

Sea Angel

A type of plankton living in cold oceans!

A transparent body!

It's actually related to mollusks!

It moves its legs, which look like wings, to float around.

When capturing prey, its mouth pops open and shoots out tentacles!

Eek!

A sea angel can beat him?!

What a small fry!

Occult club!

Hey, Plankton President! What's up?

Notice

As you were previously informed,

a research club with no real activities must forfeit its club room.

So vacate this room at once!

You shouldn't underestimate our members, President.

Mysterious Events File 9

What is that?

You know about our rugby field being closed off, right?

Yes.

Some of the students who fell ill were actually hospitalized.

Don't you think that's strange?

We're talking about tough rugby players here.

Truth is, the players said they started hearing

B i n g

O o o o o

mysterious sounds and voices right before they fell ill.

That's when we found this newspaper article from thirty years ago.

Belongings Found on Roadside, Possible Crime

It talks about the disappearance of Yoshida-san, who worked with the construction company,

Former Employee, Age 35, Goes Missing at Sugisawa

Former Employee of a Major Construction Company Never Made a Comeback and Went Into Debt

Last Sighted at Sugisawa Third

Laid Off from Work Failed to Start New Enterprise Possible Suicide

and it mentions he was last sighted here at Sugisawa Third High School during construction.

Laid Off from Work Failed to Start New Enterprise

Yoshida-san was struggling to make ends meet,

Continuous Collection Calls Threatening Calls and Faxes

so he turned to loan sharks

and those organizations were after him.

Suspicious Men at His Home Possible Kidnapping

Which means!

The whole disaster at the rugby field was caused by

the vengeful spirit of Yoshida-san, who's buried there!

Vengeful Spirit

No, it was caused by ticks.

Vengeful Spirit

Hard Ticks

A large, parasitic tick that sucks the blood of animals and humans!

Be careful, because they can be carriers of infectious diseases that lead to death if they bite humans!

Diseases such as Severe Fever with Thrombocytopenia Syndrome (SFTS)

Hmm?

They leap onto targets from grass and bushes.

Burp

Leap

Size

Before Blood

After Blood

After sucking blood, their size can increase up to 100x!

Hard ticks.

A large, blood-sucking bug.

If one bites you and infects you with SFTS,

it can be fatal, so be very careful.

So what?!

The occult club is trying to uncover occult activity,

so it's still a proper club activity report!

This isn't some kid's game!

Besides, the biggest problem is you,

Itadori Yuuji!

You're registered with track and field, not the occult club,

so this club doesn't even have the three members required for any club!

Not Enough Members

Huh?

Itadori...

No, I know I wrote down the occult club.

I rewrote it!

The track and field coach, Takagi!

Itadori, we need you so we can conquer the nationals!

A teacher more problematic than the students just showed up...

Give it a rest! How many times do I have to tell you I refuse?

You can't!

Why can't I?!

However, I'm not some demon!

If you can beat me, then I'll give up on you.

Let's settle it fair and square on the track!

Now it's interesting!

You're on!

Track and Field Coach

Takagi

Itadori

Is it "fair and square" to rewrite a student's club application?

What's with this rugby field?

Is there a dead body buried here or something?

Even if there is,

I'm surprised to see one this high-leveled.

That's probably a grade 2 curse.

Must be that cursed object's influence.

No Unauthorized Entry

Damn it.

Its presence is too strong to pin down.

It feels like it's close by, but it could still be far away, too.

This special-grade cursed object is a serious pain.

Who could have moved it?

Where is it now?

Over here!

Coach Takagi is taking on Itadori from West Middle!

Wow, what are they competing in?

Yeah!

Fourteen meters!

*Japan's National Record

Wow, Takagi's still got it!

Itadori! Itadori!

What're you gonna do, Itadori?!

Hey, is Itadori famous or something?

They're probably tall tales, but I heard he beat all stages of Ninja Warrior,

and that he's the reincarnation of Mirko Cro Cop.

But Mirko's not even dead yet.

Still, he earned the nickname "Tiger of West Middle."

Lame.

Hey, can I just throw this however I want?

Yep. I won't call any fouls, so throw however you please.

Sorry.

I wanted to demonstrate how serious I am by intentionally

choosing something that isn't your forte—

Uh, roughly thirty meters.

*World Record

Yeah, I win!

He's more gorilla than tiger, isn't he?

That was a pitcher's throw.

Itadori, you'd do well on a sports team.

You don't have to force yourself to stay in our occult club, y'know.

Huh?

But as much as you two love scary things,

you couldn't go to haunted places without me, could you?

Shiver

Tremble

3 Days Ago

We're scared because we like it.

Yay!

Besides, this school requires everyone to be in a club, right?
