Jujutsu Kaisen Ep 1 Ryomen Sukuna Breakdown

Jujutsu Kaisen ep 1 Ryomen Sukuna is out and we will be breaking it down. Since this is a breakdown there will be spoilers. If you do not want to be spoiled then please stop now and go check out the anime over at Crunchyroll.com. AGAIN SPOILERS AHEAD.

Okay so we start the episode with Yuji tied down in a room filled with talismans. How he got here is not clear but the one talking to him named Satoru Goji is asking which one are you. We are left to assume that there is something off with Yuji but as to what we don’t know.

But what we see is that Yuji is worried about his friends only then realizing that he is tied down. Goji then explains that he shouldn’t worry about his friends as he is destined to die.

Now this is a fast forward but to catch us up we go back to Yuji being at home where the hospital tries to talk to him about his grandfather who is in there for unknown condition. Yuji checks on him with a call which only aggravates the senor.

Now we go from that to Fushiguro who sent to pick up an item. The item is a cursed artifact of immense power so it is important. The issue here is that it isn’t there. Fushiguro then calls up I think Goji which only aggravate him as he just tells him to find it with no idea on where to look. Which calls Fushiguro to say he will punch him.

From here we see Yuji is part of the occult club with one big issue. Basically couch for track team is trying to get Yuji to join even though Yuji has no interest. This is comical but important as Yuji shows during this time that he is strongly athletic. From out throwing the coach with ease to running away at high speed he shows high physical capability.

But as he passes Fushiguro who senses cursed energy and believes he had the finger as Yuji runs to the hospital to spend time with his grandfather. As we see this exchange we see his grandfather try to talk to him and Yuji pays it no mind this goes from him tell him not to come to basically stop bring him flowers. But these are not important as him trying to tell Yuji about his parents is but yuji tosses that aside. Something that usual becomes important down the road for these characters later on.

But what we need to take away is that his grandfather tells him as his dying words don’t be like me. Help people no matter how odd it is so that you don’t end up alone like me. These words will motivate Yuji from this point forward as they are taken as he calls in the death.

As he finishes up the paper Fushiguro comes up to him and says you took something I need it back. The only issue is the other members of the club have the actual artifact which as these 2 are talking we see them unwrapping it.

We then gets a basic understand from Fushiguro about the artifact and that it isn’t the fact people have it is what it attracts as other cursed/ demons will be drawn by it. This means his friends are in danger so they rush to the school as the other curses arrive.

Now once they get there Fushiguro tells Yuji to stay there as Yuji tries to deal with the fact that he is scared of death. As he deals with this we see Fushiguro use his hand signs to create familiar dogs to deal with the curses until they to a big trying to eat Yuji friends.

Now here is the thing Fushiguro doesn’t make a move but Yuji does and comes to get his friends out of the way. The only issue with this is a stronger curse shows up and they cannot take him on. Fushiguro doesn’t have to time summon any familiars with his hand signs. This leaves Yuji to take things into his own hands but other than his own strength which is border line super human he has no way of fighting back. So then what. Well he has the finger which remember only a curse can beat a curse. So yuji eats it.

This allows the curse to take over and takes out the one trying to kill them with ease but now Yuji body is at his disposal or so we thought. We see Yuji take back control and begin arguing with the demon in control of him very casually. Meanwhile Fishiguro must now have to kill Yuji to exorcise the demon and that is where we leave it.
