Crunchyroll made the announcement today that it has acquired the theatrical rights for JUJUTSU KAISEN: Hidden Inventory / Premature Death – The Movie, and it’ll be released in selected cinemas this summer. The announcement came during the Annecy International Animation Film Festival.
The compilation movie will be released both in original Japanese and the English dubbed version. The film returns to the Hidden Inventory / Premature Death story arc of JUJUTSU KAISEN, which “focused on the younger days of Satoru Gojo and Suguru Geto, who shared a deep bond that was tested by one fateful mission. Featuring newly remixed sound for an immersive cinema experience, this high-quality adaptation reaches new heights—bringing the powerful story back to the big screen.”
The popular series was previously awarded Anime of the Year at the 2024 Crunchyroll Anime Awards, and JUJUTSU KAISEN: Hidden Inventory / Premature Death is the first new release since the end of the series’ second season.

Here’s the official synopsis for the film:
The innocent spring that the two strongest lost forever.” The tale of curses that you can’t miss out on is airing once again in cinemas. This is the innocent spring that the two strongest lost forever. June 2018, Yuji Itadori allows Ryomen Sukuna to inhabit his body. December 2017, Yuta Okkotsu frees the Curse, Rika Orimoto. Now, time goes further back to (Spring) 2006, when Satoru Gojo and Suguru Geto were still high school students. Both were active as Jujutsu Sorcerers with no enemy that could match them when they received a mission from Tengen, the cornerstone of Jujutsu society, who wields the cursed technique of Immortality. Their mission involves two goals. To escort and erase the Star Plasma Vessel, Riko Amanai, the young girl compatible with Tengen. The two set out on their mission to protect her for the continuation of Jujutsu society, but the Sorcerer Killer going by Fushiguro interferes, intent on assassinating the Star Plasma Vessel… The past that drove apart Gojo, the strongest jujutsu sorcerer, and Geto, the most evil curse user, will finally be revealed.
