    What I love about the adaptation of Volume 0 into a movie is that it makes Volume 0 feel like a proper prequel. Because JJK had a much broader scope, going to the Volume 0 manga after the main series can feel a bit off because of things like how you hear that Todo was involved in the events of Volume 0 but he doesn’t actually make an appearance. So the movie adds these things to Volume 0 in order to make it feel like it was written with everything that happens in the main series planned, which is great.

      I don't think it was Todo who was mentioned because his school is in Kiyoto. I just rewatched JJK a couple of weeks ago after reading JJK 0. There is a 2nd year student who is powerful who Gojo mentions along side Todo and the main character of JJK 0 who goes on missions by himself. I don't know his name but I'm assuming he's important.

    17:20 I completely agree with your take on Rika's characterization, but that's also kind of the point in this story, so I push back slightly. We all know that curses materialize with their lingering burdens and regrets, and Gojo states that love is the most twisted curse of all. That lack of closure in never actualizing a potential relationship with the person you love is extremely FRUSTRATING, and we as the audience have all experienced it at some point, but we are able to move on and meet new people and form new relationships as we age. Unfortunately, Rika died with her infatuation with Yuta still going strong. Hence the "chemistry" between Yuta and Rika is remains very simplistic and childlike, because it can never progress beyond that.

      It wouldve been cool to show him learn to use her and what little of her abilities as he can simultaneously with him growing to see his cursw situation (and rika as a person AND apparition) as someone he genuinely loved and rekindled with.
      All of that was compromised into montages so all of those aspects of their relationship is left up to our imagination sadly.

    "there is some subtle solid chemistry between Yuta and a certain other sorcerer that could have built up to a strong emotional climax, but of course Akutatmi had to save exploring that for when these characters return in the main series". Well as long as we get to see Inumaki x Yuta I don't mind the wait. It's pretty cool that even in the movie Inumaki's only speech outside of his cursed words is Yuta's name.

    So I feel I can add something to this conversation. I'm the only person in my immediate friend group who was interested in seeing this movie and was originally planning to just go by myself, however when I mentioned it in passing while talking with my husband and best friend they both immediatly said they wanted to go with me. My husband has only seen a little of JJK from walking past me watching it on my laptop with my headphones and my best friend hasn't seen a single scene. They mostly wanted to come since we hadn't been to the cinema since before the pandemic, niether of them are terribly into shonen.
    We went to one of the previews yesterday (since it was the only day we all had off) and they both had a really great time with it. I asked them afterwards what they thought and how easy they found the story to follow and they said that the characters and plot were very engaging. They enjoyed the in media-res begining, how the supporting cast started out as very strange and standoffish (my best friend actually muttered 'bitch' after Yuuta's first interation with Maki, but by the end of the film she was her favourite character) but we got to know them along with Yuuta. They found the mystery and tragedy of Rika intruiging and thought Geto was an excellent villian.
    The only part of the film that lost them was the fanservice at the end when the Kyoto students show up and do their things, they both said that for them it slowed down the momentum of the final act, which is fair I think, they both thought it was cute how excited I was to see them though.
    So yeah, it's anecdotal, but if you don't know too much about JJK and are thinking about seeing this film, you'll probably have a fun and fulfilling experience. My best friend is now planning on watching the show (she was super into Nanami for the brief moments we saw him, she is a woman of Class and Taste) and my husband has informed me that he would divorce me for Gojo (which is fair, I would probably do the same).

    Agree with everything except for the Rika / Yuta relationship being the weakest part. I thought it was one of the strongest. Their relationship was formed as a childhood bond, when things are very simplistic. Rika never grew up, never matured, and Yuta had an acute case of survivor's guilt (never realising that he had pulled Rika along with him, and was constantly adding to his survivor's guilt by adding to the body count!). So telling her he loved her and letting her go was a moment of pure love, child to child, not a mature love that he might hopefully have in the future. It was beautiful.

    THIS IS A SPOILER FOR THE END OF THE MOVIE, so read on at your own risk.
    I would argue that their romantic relationship as kids doesn't need to be very complex since the incarnation of Rika that we see is only a manifestations of the instant of childish obsession that Yuta feels when he watches her die. In other words, curses are manifestations of great emotions and the emotion that created the cursed Rika is a very simple, childish emotion, and so doesn't need a deep, meaningful backstory.

    Having just watched the movie yesterday, it was pretty awesome. Visually it's a 15/10, absolutely gorgeous. Every fight somehow only gets better and blows the anime fights out of the water, which I didn't think was possible. Gojo fucking up the curses and foreign cursed user is something I wanna watch on repeat once the movie is available online. But honestly the story and drama feels like the poorest part of the movie. It was still very good, but it especially felt rushed, something that's pretty common with anime movies. I felt like the emotional climaxes didn't feel earned, characters bonded too quickly, and the use of flashblack images to scenes we saw 3 minutes ago felt extremely cliche'd and weak. Like you said the relationship between Rika and Yuta was not there. I also felt that way for Yuta and the other 1st years, but it was better cause we actually see some bonding moments. If more time was given to the characters, the emotional scenes would have hit much harder. Overall still a fantastic movie, easily recommend to anyone curious.

      Dragon ball super broly is canon to the super series, And is shown in the super manga. The only thing about the movie is that it doesn’t feature the anime exclusive super saiyan blue kaioken and Super Saiyan Blue evolution. Where as in the manga, it’s heavily implied that they simply used the Perfected Super Saiyan Blue to battle broly.

    I didn't really plan on seeing this as I mostly skip anime movies since they don't do anything for the story (with some obvious exceptions). Honestly, I had no idea what this movie was about. I saw that it had a completely different main character on the poster, and just sort of ignored it after that point. Although, now that I know it does pertain to the actual world and does matter to the plot, that makes it far, far more enticing. Thanks!

    As an Anime-only scrub who just walked out of JJK0: absolutely loved it. Completely agree with Geoff the movie truly enhances a lot of the ideas and characterizations from the show (ie Maki is best girl) while setting up bigger plot threads for the future. The movie made me even more excited for next season. I was spoiled with the sealing of certain someone that occurs in the Shibuya arc but I have no details on why or how it happens so I am HYPE to see it adapted and for Yuta to come back, hopefully meet Yuji (they are so gonna be bff’s) and for some Yuta/Maki action 👀

    • @caiodiniz7371
      @caiodiniz7371 2 года назад +2

      To be fair, they said their plan was to seal him in the early episodes. Oh boy, if you like Maki you are going to enjoy something that happens right after the Shibuya arc... but maybe not so much something that happens during the Shibuya arc...

    I just saw the movie in cinema's yesterday and i thought it was so good!! I haven't stopped thinking about it since than. Though i have to admit Rika's story didn't really grip me to much either and i could take it or leave it, but my friend i went with was crying, so apparently it did work very well for her. For me it was very much all the character relationships being forged or being revealed that really gripped me and formed the emotional core of the story. But i had a banging good time, and the rest of the people in the cinema seemed to have had a good time as well.

    • @ElmoTinker
      @ElmoTinker 2 года назад +2

      Agreed. I understand the popularity for Yuta, but Yuji had already established a connection with so many characters that it would appear absurd to take away his importance in the series just to focus on Yuta.

    • @MPW2012
      @MPW2012 2 года назад +11

      As someone who likes yuta a lot more than yuji, I wouldn’t like if yuta usurped yuji’s role as mc. Yuta’s character arc was already completed in the prequel. I’m perfectly content with him being utilized as a badass side character, because he’s still handling shit, even without the mc title. There’s no piccolo treatment over here.

  • @Yggdraseed
    @Yggdraseed 2 года назад +5

    The real highlight of the movie for me (that I figure won't get talked about much, at least) were the little touches to expand on Maki's character. Just that short little peek into what her childhood was like, and the awful guilt she was subjected to just for being born, went so far to really sell why she's so driven, so cynical, and so sincere to the point of belligerence. And seeing how much it meant to her for someone, even a total outsider to the sorcerer world like Yuta, to place his faith in her and her abilities and to accept her - all of her - for who she is was really touching. Maki has for so long felt like she should be my favorite character, and like she would be, if we got to spend more time seeing her in action and exploring her character. Just a little more is all it takes, and that little bit more the movie provided really, really reminded me of why I like Maki and the whole cast - the whole *everything* - of Jujutsu Kaisen so much.

      Very late comment, but the movie, especially the flashbacks are told from Yuta's perspective. I doubt Rika told him she stole the ring, which is why that little tidbit never included - Yuta didn't know she stole it.

    Learning all the lore felt very self-indulgent and watching the movie and seeing things we only hear about in this movie made me smile ear to ear throughout the whole run time. It was my first time watching an anime movie in the theater and I got lost so many times during the fights and I remember specifically during the final fight that my brain forgot how to read subtitles and had to reread the first few words a few times.
    Personally it is a great entry point and leads into the show very nicely.
    It does have story related implications so anime only's should watch it.
