A new official trailer for the highly anticipated Jujutsu Kaisen: Execution compilation film has been released, offering fans an intense preview of the movie that bridges the gap between the anime’s second and third seasons. The promotional video highlights the chaotic events of the “Shibuya Incident Arc” and provides an early glimpse into the upcoming “Culling Game” arc, including a tease of the confrontation between Yuta Okkotsu and Yuji Itadori.
What is Jujutsu Kaisen: Execution?
Jujutsu Kaisen: Execution, known in Japan as Jujutsu Kaisen: The Movie – Shibuya Incident Special Edition x Culling Game Advance Screening, is a compilation film that re-edits and expands upon the critically acclaimed “Shibuya Incident Arc” from Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2. Beyond summarizing the previous season’s major events, the film also includes the first two episodes of Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3, which will adapt the “Culling Game Arc”. This unique cinematic experience aims to provide a seamless transition for viewers into the next major storyline.
Bridging the Shibuya Incident and Culling Game Arcs
The “Shibuya Incident Arc” depicted a devastating Halloween night in Shibuya, where a veil trapped countless civilians and led to an unprecedented clash between jujutsu sorcerers and powerful curse users, all orchestrated to seal away Satoru Gojo. The compilation film re-presents these brutal battles and emotional moments on the big screen, enhanced for theatrical sound systems and visuals.
Following the Shibuya Incident, the film seamlessly transitions into the “Culling Game Arc,” where ten colonies across Japan are transformed into battlegrounds for sorcerers. This arc introduces a deadly battle royale masterminded by the wicked sorcerer Noritoshi Kamo (also known as Kenjaku) and sees the return of Special Grade sorcerer Yuta Okkotsu, who is tasked with executing Yuji Itadori. The film promises to showcase the desperate confrontation between Gojo’s two beloved students.
