Jujutsu Kaisen's central idea is elegantly grim: curses are made of negative human emotion, so the more people fear and hate, the more monsters there are. Sorcerers exorcise them and the supply never runs out, because the source is us.

Gege Akutami's power system is one of the most rule-heavy in modern shonen, and the rules are the appeal. Cursed techniques come with binding vows, restrictions traded for strength, and domain expansions that guarantee a hit at enormous cost. Fights are won by exploiting a clause.

Gojo Satoru broke containment culturally the moment he appeared. Absurdly strong, permanently amused, and blindfolded for reasons the series takes its time explaining - he is the rare character who lives up to the hype the fandom built.

Yuji makes a good counterweight: a cheerful boy who volunteers to be a container for the king of curses and treats it as a job.

This collection covers the Tokyo Jujutsu High crew, Gojo and Sukuna's markings.
