01
The series begins when Yuji Itadori swallows a cursed object — the finger of a legendary curse known as the King of Curses, the most powerful cursed spirit in history. Who is this ancient being?
✓ Correct! Ryomen Sukuna is the King of Curses — an ancient, immensely powerful sorcerer from over a thousand years ago whose cursed essence was split into twenty indestructible fingers. When Yuji swallows one, Sukuna is reborn inside him, setting the entire story in motion.
✗ Cursed failure! The answer is Ryomen Sukuna. Mahito is a cursed spirit who manipulates souls, Jogo is a volcano-type curse, and Rika is the Queen of Curses from Jujutsu Kaisen 0. Only Sukuna holds the title of King of Curses.
02
The strongest jujutsu sorcerer alive is a blindfolded teacher at Tokyo Jujutsu High who possesses the legendary Six Eyes and the Limitless cursed technique. His birth alone shifted the balance of the jujutsu world. Who is he?
✓ Correct! Satoru Gojo is the strongest sorcerer in the modern era, wielding the Six Eyes and Limitless technique that grants him Infinity — an ability that makes him virtually untouchable. His confident declaration “Throughout Heaven and Earth, I alone am the honored one” became iconic.
✗ Cursed failure! The answer is Satoru Gojo. Suguru Geto is his former best friend turned enemy, Yuta Okkotsu is a Special Grade sorcerer from JJK 0, and Kento Nanami is a Grade 1 sorcerer and former salaryman. Only Gojo holds the title of the strongest.
03
The pinnacle of jujutsu sorcery is a technique that creates a separate space with a guaranteed hit against anyone trapped inside. This ultimate ability is declared by name before activation. What is it called?
✓ Correct! Domain Expansion is the supreme technique in jujutsu — a sorcerer manifests their innate domain as a physical space where their attacks cannot miss. Gojo’s Unlimited Void, Sukuna’s Malevolent Shrine, and Mahito’s Self-Embodiment of Perfection are among the most devastating.
✗ Cursed failure! The answer is Domain Expansion. A Binding Vow is a contract that trades conditions for power, Reverse Cursed Technique converts cursed energy into healing, and Black Flash is a critical hit that applies cursed energy within 0.000001 seconds of a physical hit.
04
Early in the series, Yuji Itadori develops an unintentional fighting style where his cursed energy arrives a moment after his physical punch, creating a devastating double impact. What is this technique called?
✓ Correct! Divergent Fist occurs because Yuji’s cursed energy is delayed behind his physical blow, creating two impacts in quick succession. While initially seen as a unique technique, it’s actually a sign of Yuji’s inexperience with cursed energy flow — he eventually learns to unify them properly.
✗ Cursed failure! The answer is Divergent Fist. Black Flash is a separate technique where cursed energy is applied within a fraction of a second of impact, creating a spatial distortion. Divergent Fist is Yuji’s signature early-series move caused by his lagging cursed energy.
05
A second-year student at Tokyo Jujutsu High possesses a hereditary cursed speech technique that imbues his words with cursed energy, forcing anyone who hears them to obey. To avoid accidentally cursing people, he only speaks using rice ball ingredients. Who is he?
✓ Correct! Toge Inumaki is the Inumaki clan descendant who wields Cursed Speech — his words become commands that others are forced to obey. He limits his vocabulary to onigiri ingredients like “salmon,” “tuna mayo,” and “kelp” to prevent accidentally harming people with his power.
✗ Cursed failure! The answer is Toge Inumaki. Maki Zenin has incredible physical prowess but limited cursed energy, Panda is a cursed corpse created by Principal Yaga, and Noritoshi Kamo uses Blood Manipulation. Only Inumaki speaks in rice ball ingredients to control his Cursed Speech.
06
Yuji, Megumi, and Nobara are first-year students at a school that trains jujutsu sorcerers to fight cursed spirits. This institution, where Gojo serves as a teacher, is located in Tokyo. What is it called?
✓ Correct! Tokyo Jujutsu High (Tokyo Metropolitan Curse Technical College) is where sorcerers train to exorcise cursed spirits. It’s one of two jujutsu schools in Japan — the other being Kyoto Jujutsu High, led by Principal Gakuganji. Their annual Exchange Event is a major arc in the series.
✗ Cursed failure! The answer is Tokyo Jujutsu High. The Zenin clan is one of the three great sorcerer families but not a school. Tokyo Jujutsu High is the institution hidden behind a barrier where Gojo, Nanami, and other sorcerers guide the next generation.
07
Sukuna’s Domain Expansion is unique — instead of creating an enclosed barrier, it manifests as an open shrine with a guaranteed hit range of up to 200 meters. This makes it one of the most powerful domains ever seen. What is it called?
✓ Correct! Malevolent Shrine is Sukuna’s Domain Expansion — a Buddhist shrine adorned with skulls that delivers relentless slashing attacks. Unlike other domains, it has no barrier, which is considered a Binding Vow that massively increases its effective range and power.
✗ Cursed failure! The answer is Malevolent Shrine. Unlimited Void is Gojo’s domain that overwhelms targets with infinite information, Chimera Shadow Garden is Megumi’s domain, and Coffin of the Iron Mountain is Jogo’s volcanic domain. Sukuna’s barrierless Malevolent Shrine is considered the pinnacle.
08
Jujutsu Kaisen became one of the best-selling manga series in history and a massive anime hit animated by Studio MAPPA. The manga was serialized in Weekly Shonen Jump. Who is the mangaka (creator) behind Jujutsu Kaisen?
✓ Correct! Gege Akutami is the creator of Jujutsu Kaisen, which began serialization in Weekly Shonen Jump in 2018. Akutami’s dark, complex storytelling and intricate power system have made JJK one of the defining manga and anime of its generation.
✗ Cursed failure! The answer is Gege Akutami. Tatsuki Fujimoto created Chainsaw Man, Koyoharu Gotouge created Demon Slayer, and Yuji Kaku created Hell’s Paradise. Only Gege Akutami is the mind behind the world of cursed energy, Sukuna, and Jujutsu Kaisen.

Are you Special Grade — or just a cursed spirit waiting to be exorcised?
MAPPA also launched a special website where fans can find information about upcoming exhibitions and merchandise, as well as the franchises that will be featured in this lineup announcement. At the moment, the MAPPA website hasn’t revealed exactly what fans can expect from the event, which is still listed as “coming soon.” However, the website includes a message indicating that new details about works such as Jujutsu Kaisen and Chainsaw Man will be announced.
Although MAPPA doesn’t specify whether the announcement refers to new anime seasons or other projects, the fact that the series has a reserved space at the event suggests that fans can expect to see an update, which could be a visual, a trailer, or even the long-awaited release date for Jujutsu Kaisen Season 4.
Jujutsu Kaisen Isn’t the Only MAPPA Anime That Will Reveal Information
As one of the featured franchises at the event, Chainsaw Man could also bring a significant update for fans. Chainsaw Man – Assassins arc was announced at Jump Festa 2026 in December without confirmation of whether it would be adapted into a new anime season or a movie. This question could be answered by MAPPA’s announced lineup, as the studio may have preferred to wait until its official event to reveal more information about the franchise.
Dorohedoro is one of the best fantasy anime to come to Netflix, and hot off the heels of season 2, it’s been confirmed that it’s coming back for more.
Among MAPPA’s other anime projects are Dorohedoro Season 3 and Hell’s Paradise Season 3, neither of which has yet confirmed release windows. Meanwhile, projects like Ranma 1/2 Season 3 and Oblivion Battery are confirmed to premiere in October 2026 and 2027, respectively, but they could still share new visuals or trailers for fans.
Nevertheless, Jujutsu Kaisen fans won’t have to wait long to find out what news the anime will bring. Although the website is available for them to access in case new information is revealed as the date approaches, they only need to connect to MAPPA’s official YouTube channel on June 14, 2026, to find out what surprises the studio will have in store to celebrate its anniversary in style.
