Jujutsu Kaisen 0 takes identify one year earlier the events of the chief series and Itadori's arrival at Jujutsu Loftier. The plot focuses on several characters a twelvemonth older than Itadori: namely, Maki, Panda, Toge and Yuta Okkotsu.

Chapters 140 to 143, the four latest chapters, most notably included a fight between Yuta and Yuji, who initially acts every bit an antagonist but actually helps Yuji to stage his death, to stop him from being hunted.
