The anime "Jujutsu Kaisen" is based on the manga of the same name by Gege Akutami, which has surpassed 150 million copies in circulation. The story begins when Yuji Itadori, who ends up sharing his body with the King of Curses, Ryomen Sukuna, transfers to the "Tokyo Prefectural Jujutsu High School," a specialized institution for fighting curses. While the original manga concluded in 2024, a spin-off titled "Jujutsu Kaisen ≡ (Modulo)," written by Akutami and illustrated by Yuji Iwasaki, has been serialized in "Weekly Shonen Jump" (Shueisha) since September 2025.

Episode 52: "Fever"
[Synopsis]
Following the Shibuya Incident, Yaga is sentenced to death. Assassins and Gakuganji appear before him. Meanwhile, Itadori and Fushiguro, who have left the Star Corridor, seek help from Kinji Hakari, a suspended third-year student at Jujutsu High. They head to the venue of an underground gambling match hosted by Hakari. To avoid being recognized as Jujutsu High affiliates by Hakari—who is on bad terms with the higher-ups—the two go undercover to infiltrate the "Gachinko Fight Club Tournament."
