Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 1 isn’t just a beginning—it’s a promise born in blood. Yuji’s first step isn’t toward power—it’s toward purpose. When death arrives, he chooses life beyond it.
In JJK Chapter 1, Yuji Itadori faces the unexpected: trying to rescue friends, he finds them trapped by a cursed talisman. With fear collapsing into resolve, he swallows a Sukuna finger—and becomes host to the King of Curses. Satoru Gojo arrives just in time, forcing Yuji to confront everything he feared: terror, death, and destiny. Yet instead of rejecting it, Yuji stakes his life: “If I’m going to die, I want to leave a footprint on this world—so wherever I go next, I won’t regret it.”
Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 1 isn’t just the start of a story—it’s the stake in the ground for legacy. Yuji doesn’t just fight to live—he chooses to define what life means. In that moment between terror and sacrifice, an orphan of fate becomes a force by intent.
To explore the aftermath of clan-shattering events, check out Chapter 236 for the emotional loss that reset the battlefield, Chapter 248 where Yuji and Yuta step up against Sukuna’s rising threat, and Chapter 223 where Gojo’s explosive return begins a new phase of war. You can also read Chapter 271 to see how domain battles intensify across multiple fronts.
