Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 Isn't Even Out Yet, But the Anime Is Already Facing a Big Problem
News just came that Jujutsu Kaisen's best arc will be receiving a movie adaptation. Satoru Gojo and Suguru Geto's relationship is a defining feature of Jujutsu Kaisen, and its narrative hinges immensely on the duo's dynamics. Their relationship, once fully understood, sets the stage for practically all of Jujutsu Kaisen.
In fact, although Jujutsu Kaisen teems with dynamic and thought-provoking relationships, none are as compelling as the iconic duo of Gojo and Geto. The "Hidden inventory/Premature Death" arc establishes their time together as students at Jujutsu High, and it follows essential character development for both characters that frames all of their actions afterward. The arc originally composed the first half of Jujutsu Kaisen's second season, but a new compilation film promises to streamline that narrative and make it tighter than ever.
Jujutsu Kaisen New Compilation Film Announced Jujutsu Kaisen's Most Fundamental Arc Is Getting An Update In Compilation
During Jujutsu Kaisen's stage at Jump Festa 2025, several announcements were made, including an upcoming movie compilation covering Jujutsu Kaisen's "Hidden Inventory/Premature Death" arc. The announcement was echoed via Jujutsu Kaisen's anime's X account in the post embedded above. The post included a release date of May 30, 2025, as well as a captivating key visual featuring Gojo and Geto.
Little information is yet known about the compilation film itself; it could just be a mishmash of the anime's scenes, or it could retouch and rework specific scenes while adding a splash of new content (akin to Attack on Titan's film compilations). The "Hidden Inventory/Premature Death" arc itself is touching and perfect for a feature film, being a complete arc in itself that doesn't require much threading into Jujutsu Kaisen's core narrative. The story covers, as previously mentioned, Gojo and Geto's time together at Jujutsu High.
A mission to escort a girl, Riko Amanai, to serve as a sacrifice to Master Tengen, serves as the catalyst for major personal changes in an arc that perfectly develops Gojo's personality and motivations while giving crucial background for Geto, whose body later serves as a vessel for Kenjaku.
Jujutsu Kaisen's New Compilation Movie Comes At A Perfect Time The Arc Is A Reminder Of A Connection That Will Become Crucial Moving Forward Close
While the new compilation film will certainly serve to tide fans over while they await Jujutsu Kaisen's third season, it also has another major narrative function that can easily be underappreciated. The entire arc centers around the idea of Riko merging with Master Tengen. Master Tengen isn't just a vital character in this arc, though. As season 3 comes around and the Culling Game arc begins, Tengen mergers take the forefront in Kenjaku's efforts to execute his plan to merge all of Japan and bring about a use for cursed energy beyond sorcerers and cursed spirits.
The narrative link is far from subtle, and it also reverberates through the second half of Jujutsu Kaisen's second season. Nonetheless, as the franchise's long-awaited third season draws nearer, Jujutsu Kaisen's new compilation film will serve as an excellent reminder of the stakes and fundamental mechanics underlying Kenjaku's ultimate goals in the grand merger. It will also tie in elegantly with Jujutsu Kaisen's other film, Jujutsu Kaisen 0. Regardless, though, at the end of the day, no Jujutsu Kaisen fan could complain about the chance to see Gojo and Geto together again.
