How to watch Jujutsu Kaisen in order (TV series and movie)

gamesradar.com:

Unlike some anime (we're looking at you, Demon Slayer with your confusingly-titled seasons), how to watch Jujutsu Kaisen in order is relatively straightforward. But there are still some caveats that will have your cursing your luck.

Don't worry, we're here to help. With the second season currently ongoing, we thought it best to get everyone on the same page with a Jujutsu Kaisen watch order. Below, we answer the thorny question about how the Jujutsu Kaisen 0 movie fits in, whether it's skippable, and how the prequel affects the chronological order. Spoilers: it's not as straightforward as you may think.

The Jujutsu Kaisen watch order is nice and simple if you’re going by release date. In our opinion, this is the best and most straightforward way to watch the show.

The first season of Jujutsu Kaisen, consisting of 24 episodes, aired from October 2021 to March 2022.

A prequel movie, titled Jujutsu Kaisen 0, was released in March 2022 in the US and in other territories – grossing almost $200m at the box office.

A second season is currently ongoing. It began with the prequel five-episode Hidden Inventory/Premature Death arc in July 2022 and returned in August with the Shibuya Incident arc.

So, our recommended Jujutsu Kaisen watch order looks like this.

Now, this is a little more confusing. Chronologically, the first episodes are Jujutsu Kaisen season 2’s opening five. They cover Gojo and Geto’s past relationship, as well as several climactic (and traumatic) events experienced between the pair.
