Jujutsu Kaisen: Execution Review

What happens when the aftermath of Shibuya bleeds into a new crisis, forcing Yuji, Megumi, Nobara, and the remaining sorcerers to confront what they’ve lost and what still must be done? Jujutsu Kaisen: Execution delivers a visually stunning bridge between eras — a film where grief, responsibility, and power collide in explosive fashion. As alliances shift and new threats rise, the movie repositions the entire series, sharpening character arcs and setting the stage for the next brutal chapter. Crisp animation, high-impact choreography, and emotional stakes make this film a brutal, beautiful punch straight to the gut.
