Gege Akutami’s Jujutsu Kaisen stands as one of the most kinetic battle shonen series to hit the screen. MAPPA’s adaptation has earned significant praise for its visual artistry, with season 3’s choreography benefiting immensely from the direction and storyboarding of Shōta Goshozono. Across the series, these battles serve as more than just plot devices; they are tactical displays that define character motivations and the shifting nature of strength within the sorcery world.
