Fans of Shonen and fantasy anime have certainly heard about Jujutsu Kaisen. It would’ve been impossible not to, with how popular the series has gotten. Thus, it makes all the sense in the world for folks to want to give it a try.
Focused on Yuji Itadori, the vessel of an ancient sorcerer known as the King of Curses, Jujutsu Kaisen has established itself as one of the best new-gen manga and anime series. With its impressively strong characters, interesting supernatural plot, and great manga panels, this should come as no surprise. And of course, as more and more people dive into the series, it’s natural for them to seek to understand the material in depth.
Granted, not everyone needs to know Gege Akutami’s story like the back of their hand to enjoy it, but that doesn’t prevent the most dedicated fans from trying to. For some, reading the manga or watching the anime just isn’t enough. They want to learn everything there is to learn about Jujutsu Kaisen, and that naturally includes its organizational structure.
Much like most anime and manga series, Jujutsu Kaisen‘s overall narrative is divided into several arcs, which help both the author and fans focus on particular storylines at a time. By marking each arc’s beginning and end, these divisions also aid the series’ organization, making it much easier for folks to refer to and analyze certain parts of the story individually. So, if you’d like to know all of Jujutsu Kaisen‘s arcs, as well as where exactly they fit into the story, keep reading.
