Jujutsu Kaisen 0 Events Schedule and Timeline

“Jujutsu zero events schedule” most likely means the order and timing of events in Jujutsu Kaisen 0, the prequel story—not a calendar of live events. The story follows Yuta Okkotsu during his first year at Tokyo Jujutsu High, and its central events take place before Yuji Itadori’s story in the main series.

What “Jujutsu zero events schedule” means

There is no single official, recurring event calendar called the “Jujutsu Zero Events Schedule.” The phrase may refer to a timeline of the film and manga’s plot, or to screenings, convention appearances, or other local events featuring the title. Those real-world dates vary by country, venue, and organizer, so check the relevant cinema or event listing for current information.

If you mean the fictional chronology, Jujutsu Kaisen 0 is a prequel set in 2017. Its main action precedes the 2018 events that begin the main Jujutsu Kaisen story. The film compresses and adapts the manga’s narrative; it is not an episode-by-episode season with a weekly release schedule.

Story timeline in chronological order

The timeline below describes the important story sequence without giving away the ending. It is a viewing and reading order, not a list of exact dates for every scene; the story does not assign a public calendar date to every event.

Yuta’s childhood and Rika’s death: Yuta Okkotsu and Rika Orimoto are close friends. Rika dies in an accident, and a powerful curse becomes attached to Yuta. He does not understand how to control the supernatural danger surrounding him.
Yuta is targeted for execution: The jujutsu authorities consider the curse too dangerous to leave unchecked. Satoru Gojo intervenes and brings Yuta to Tokyo Jujutsu High, where he can learn to manage his abilities rather than be immediately condemned.
Yuta begins training: Yuta meets fellow students Maki Zenin, Toge Inumaki, and Panda. Their work and missions help him understand cursed energy, teamwork, and the risks of being a jujutsu sorcerer.
Geto’s plan creates a deadline: Suguru Geto announces a large-scale attack known as the Night Parade of a Hundred Demons. The threat gives the story its approaching crisis and forces the students and sorcerers to prepare.
The Night Parade takes place: On December 24, Geto launches coordinated attacks in Tokyo and Kyoto. Yuta and his allies fight to protect people, while Gojo and other sorcerers respond to the broader assault.
The confrontation resolves the prequel’s central conflict: The conclusion reveals the truth behind Yuta, Rika, and the curse. It also clarifies how the prequel’s characters and events connect to the wider series.

Where it fits in the series

For an in-universe chronological order, watch or read Jujutsu Kaisen 0 before the main story. The prequel’s events occur in 2017, while the opening of the main series takes place in 2018. This order makes the chronology straightforward, but it is not the only sensible way to experience the story.

For a first-time viewer, release order is also a good option: start with the first season of Jujutsu Kaisen, then watch the 2021 film. The main series introduces its world through Yuji’s perspective, while the film follows a different lead and offers additional context about important characters. You do not need to watch the film first to understand the main story, and watching it first does not make the main series chronologically confusing.

Chronological order: Jujutsu Kaisen 0, then the main story beginning with season one.
Release order: Season one, then Jujutsu Kaisen 0, followed by later installments in their release order.

How the film and manga schedules differ

The source manga, written and illustrated by Gege Akutami, was first published as a short series under the title Tokyo Metropolitan Curse Technical School. It was later collected and presented as Jujutsu Kaisen 0, a prequel to the ongoing main manga. The film adapts that prequel story into one feature-length narrative rather than following a weekly television broadcast pattern.

The film was released in Japan in December 2021, with international theatrical releases following in 2022. Those are historical release windows, not upcoming screening dates. Availability now depends on local distributors and streaming services, and it can change over time. For a current screening, look up the title on cinema listings in your area; for home viewing, check the services available in your country.

Characters and events to keep in mind

Yuta is the main character of the prequel, while Gojo serves as his teacher and guide. Maki, Toge, and Panda are Yuta’s classmates, and their roles help show the range of personalities and abilities at the school. Geto is the principal antagonist of the film’s central conflict. Some of these characters also appear in the broader series, but the prequel’s focus remains Yuta’s story.

A common misconception is that the Night Parade is a separate sequel or a later event in the main series. It is the climactic event within Jujutsu Kaisen 0, and it happens before Yuji’s first major adventures. Another point worth noting: the story’s December 24 setting is part of the fiction; it does not mean the movie has a fixed annual December screening schedule.

Finding current screenings or fan events

If “events schedule” means a real-world event rather than the plot timeline, there is no universal calendar covering every country or venue. Search using the full title, Jujutsu Kaisen 0, alongside your city or the type of event you want. Confirm the date, local time zone, venue, and whether the listing is for a theatrical screening, convention panel, or another activity. Prefer the venue or organizer’s own listing, since fan posts and older promotional pages can be out of date.
