A Compilation That Hits Different
Jujutsu Kaisen: Hidden Inventory / Premature Death – The Movie compiles episodes from the first half of season 2, focusing on the foundational story of Gojo and Geto during their student years.

Is This Movie Essential Viewing?
No New Plot, But Still Worth the Ticket
For viewers already caught up with season 2, there’s nothing new in terms of story or canon.

Think of it as an event: a rewatch on the big screen with boosted audio, tuned visuals, and a theater full of fans who know when to cheer, gasp, and cry.
