Jujutsu Kaisen 0: Is There a Post-Credits Scene?

The Jujutsu Kaisen 0 movie is finally out in US theaters, as well as other countries. The anime series is quickly becoming a new favorite for fans of shonen anime, even winning Crunchyroll’s 2021 Anime of the Year award. This new movie is an adaptation of the manga, also titled Jujutsu Kaisen 0, which is a prequel to Itadori Yuji’’s story and introduces Okkotsu Yuta, a cursed human. Let’s break down the ending, post credits scene, and how it fits into the anime series.Jujutsu Kaisen 0 Ending ExplainedDo you remember seeing Yuta being teased in the anime series? We finally learn more about him! Following the battle between Yuta and Suguru Geto, we find out that it was actually Yuta who cursed Rika, his childhood friend, and not the other way around. Through Gojo’s own investigation, it turns out that Yuta is very special in his own right being a descendent of Sugawara Michizane who is one of Japan’s three greatest apparitions. Gojo is also a descendant making the two of them distant relatives. What a powerful bloodline! This explains how Yuta is able to curse Rika the day she died, and why Yuta is exceptional in the use of curses. Even Geto was surprised by what Yuta accomplished in a year. Speaking of Geto, the last time we see him in the movie is with Gojo who we know were very close friends years ago. Geto was clearly injured after the fight with Yuta and we hear what seems to be a finishing blow off-screen. Did Gojo really finish him off? It doesn’t seem that way because Geto is clearly in the series, but he has a new scar that wasn’t there in the movie. We know this movie prequel takes place a year before the series because Yuta was a fellow first-year student alongside Maki, Toge, and Panda. It was mentioned in the anime series that Yuta participated in the Exchange Event on his own to even out the matchup between Tokyo and Kyoto. Maki says that the Exchange Event was prior to Yuta freeing Rika so he had an overwhelming victory. This is why Yuji and the gang had the Exchange Event in Tokyo since Yuta won the year before.Does the Jujutsu Kaisen 0 Movie Have a Post-Credits Scene?Lastly, to our surprise, the movie has a post-credit scene where Yuta and Miguel, one of Geto’s followers, are having a meal together in Kenya. We know this is Kenya because the earlier city footage shows the skyline of Nairobi where you can see the UAP Old Mutual Tower. Clearly, Miguel doesn’t seem to be an enemy anymore as they are enjoying themselves and talking about Royco, a Kenyan product. Soon after, Gojo walks up to say hello. Knowing how defiant Gojo can be with the elders, Gojo might be pulling off some weird plan again as he did with Yuji’s apparent death. We’ve actually seen a hint of this new partnership back in Jujutsu Kaisen’s second anime opening. It’s in that opening that we see Yuta giving a quick look at the camera joined by who is now obviously Miguel with his trademark beret. Not to mention, the white clothes they are sporting are almost identical to what we see in the movie. Back in the anime series when Gojo reveals Yuji is alive, he says that he came back from a “business trip” overseas and gives the Kyoto students protective charms from a particular tribe. It seems very reminiscent of the cursed rope that Miguel uses in his fight with Gojo, so it doesn’t seem like it’ll be much longer till we see Yuta come back again.
