Jujutsu Kaisen has become one of the biggest anime and manga franchises, with its popularity marking it among the “Dark Trio” of shonen, anime alongside Chainsaw Man and Hell’s Paradise. Its turn on the silver screen only increased its global reach, and the same goes for the series’ movie entry. Of course, due to being an anime movie, it is of understandably questionable canonicity, as many big name anime movies tend to take place outside the story. Jujutsu Kaisen 0 arguably predates the main series in more ways than just the title.Some fans getting into the series might wonder if Jujutsu Kaisen 0: The Movie is canon to the anime, especially considering how many anime films are. Likewise, its place in the series’ timeline is just as urgent, especially for those who want to watch things in chronological order. The name would suggest a prequel, but are there things established in the main series that would make it easier to understand the context of the film?As its name might suggest, Jujutsu Kaisen 0 is a prequel, taking place before the main events of the Jujutsu Kaisen anime. Likewise, it is in fact canon with the anime, taking place approximately one year before the mainline series’ events. Though that might seem like a no-brainer, it’s actually something of a recent trend for anime movies to fall into the canon timeline within the franchise. In the past, the movies for shonen anime franchises have been non-canon to the events of the shows themselves, with the Dragon Ball Z movies being some of the best examples of this. Thus, they largely couldn’t even fit into the timeline of their respective series, making them arguably pointless for all but the most dedicated fans looking to further their experience in the franchise.
