The English version was made available in North America by Viz Media who only launched the first three chapters digitally as a part of their Jump Start initiative. After the series had gained enough popularity, they also announced a print version run in English in America. These print volumes were first released in March 2019. Apart from that, Shueisha has also made the manga available on the Manga Plus app, so there’s one place you can read it from. The series also has two Light Novels written by Ballad Kitaguni, one was released in 2019 and another in the following year 2020. The anime is what made Jujutsu Kaisen even more popular than it already was. The series was announced when the manga was in its 52nd issue in November 2019. The production was taken over by MAPPA, the same studio responsible for the fourth and final season of Attack on Titan. The anime was directed by Sunghoo Park. It is available to be watched on Crunchyroll outside of Asia and has been dubbed into many regional and country-wide languages for fans to watch. So, what is Jujutsu Kaisen all about? Where are we in the story so far? And most importantly, when are we getting Jujutsu Kaisen episode 25? Let’s talk about it.
Jujutsu KaisenThe story of Jujutsu Kaisen revolves around a world where sorcerers, or shamans, and curses or evil spirits co-exist. Shamans are powerful wielders of magic who have the power to do away with curses. Curses are manifestations of evil feelings or doings like greed, hate, and so on. The protagonist of the show is Yuji Itadori. Yuji is unnaturally fit for someone his age and experience. He can easily win at track races and wouldn’t even need to try to come first. However, Yuji has no interest in such backbreaking activities. His grandfather passes away right before his eyes and directs him to always help people and die surrounded by people. Yuji gains an interest in the Occult Research Club and joins it just for the kicks of it. Things go wrong when the Occult Research Lab actually gets its hands on a cursed object. A finger of the most powerful Curse in the history of Curses. Yuji comes across shaman Megumi, who tries to ward off other Curses from consuming the finger to gain power. However, it becomes a tight battle where anyone in the whole school could die. Seeing no other choice, Yuji himself consumes the finger and hence becomes possessed by the Curse Ryomen Sukuna. Sukuna’s power helps him save Megumi and the others for the time being. Also Read: Solo Leveling Anime: Everything You Need To Know But things don’t end there. Sukuna was a very powerful Curse in his prime and it is said that all the golden age shamans had to come together to defeat Sukuna and even then, he still survives in fragments. It would be a grave danger to allow him to exist. Hence the shamans decide that Yuji has to be exorcised and in the process, killed to get everyone rid of Sukuna. This is where Gojo Satoru, Megumi’s teacher proposes that Yuji be taught to control Sukuna instead of him being killed. Will he ever fully be able to control the Curse? You’ll have to watch to find out.
Story so far
The final episode of Jujutsu Kaisen season 1 showed us the epic showdown between Yuji and Nobara who went up against Kechizu and Eso. The fight was certainly intense with a lot of moments where any of our important characters could have died barring Yuji who has the powers of Sukuna and has is less vulnerable than Nobara. However, this does not mean that his life wasn’t in danger itself. The fight ends with Nobara having killed Kechizu with her technique and Yuji blowing a hole clean through Eso’s chest. We later see Megumi, Nobara, and Yuji being contacted by Gojo. He has a secret mission for the three. But what is the mission going to be? We will likely find out in the later installments of the series.
Jujutsu Kaisen Episode 25 Release Date
Jujutsu Kaisen Episode 25 should be released later in 2022, although as of right now, no announcements have been made regarding the release of a second season or episode 25 of the series. However, recently a Twitter user noticed that a domain has been registered for a Jujutsu Kaisen movie. It is likely that we might get a movie before the second season of the series. However, once the season is confirmed it will probably be released in the first quarter of the year 2022. So fans will have to wait until an official announcement as well as the release date.
