## Films and compilation releases
The prequel film *Jujutsu Kaisen 0* (劇場版 呪術廻戦 0) adapts [Yuta Okkotsu](https://www.edgepedia.org/yuta-okkotsu)'s story and sits chronologically between the Hidden Inventory arc and season 1.[7](https://www.gamesradar.com/how-to-watch-jujutsu-kaisen-in-order-prequel-movie/) The official site credits it with worldwide box-office revenue of 26.5 billion yen.[9](https://jujutsukaisen.jp/story/)
In 2025 the franchise ran a chronological theatrical program: a compilation film of the Hidden Inventory/Premature Death episodes in May, a revival screening of *Jujutsu Kaisen 0* in October, and in November *Jujutsu Kaisen: Execution* (劇場版 呪術廻戦「渋谷事変 特別編集版」×「死滅回游 先行上映」), which paired a specially edited cut of the Shibuya Incident arc with the world premiere of season 3's first two episodes ahead of their television broadcast.[9](https://jujutsukaisen.jp/story/) A separate compilation of the 懐玉・玉折 episodes received a Blu-ray release in December 2025.[10](https://jujutsukaisen.jp/news/)
## Continuation and availability

Because the anime follows the completed manga closely, guide sites report that the series has no verified filler episodes, so every episode advances the story.[4](https://gensaku.space/series/jujutsu-kaisen/) Viewers who finish episode 59 can continue the story in the manga from volume 21.[2](https://comi-pass.jp/jujutsu-kaisen-episodes/)
