In Jujutsu Kaisen, a Japanese manga series penned and illustrated by Gege Akutami, Yuji Itadori, a compassionate teenager, initially joins his school's Occult Club for fun. However, he soon discovers that its members are actual sorcerers capable of manipulating energy between beings for their own purposes.

Upon learning about a cursed talisman - the finger of Sukuna, a demon - and its targeting by other cursed beings, Yuji takes a daring step to protect his friends: he consumes the finger. This action results in him becoming Sukuna's host.

Yet, Yuji's journey takes a surprising turn when he realizes that he has inherited magical abilities and can control these powers independently from Sukuna. Determined to rid himself of Sukuna's influence, Yuji enrolls in the Tokyo Metropolitan Magic Technical College with the goal of consuming all of Sukuna's fingers. This process will facilitate a full exorcism, ultimately freeing him from Sukuna's grip.
