Jujutsu Kaisen: Phantom Parade game set to feature canonical and game-original characters to play with
The game, Jujutsu Kaisen: Phantom Parade, is currently being developed by Sumzap. It will feature a mix of new and familiar characters from the canon. The original cast includes Rina Satou as Saki Rindo, Kotaro Nishiyama as Kaito Yuki, and Rikiya Koyama as Kensuke Nagino. Saki and Kaito are first-year students at Tokyo Jujutsu High's Fukuoka branch school, with Kensuke acting as the school's president.
Eve, the artist behind the original opening theme song titled Kaikai Kitan for the television anime series, will be singing the game's theme song called Avant. Shueisha has also released character visuals for Satoru Gojo, Kento Nanami, Yuji Itadori, Megumi Fushiguro, and the beloved Nobara Kugisaki, with the promise of more characters to come.
Akutami's original manga series debuted in Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump magazine in March 2018 and continues to be regularly serialized. Out of the 243 chapters released so far, 217 have been compiled into 24 volumes. Currently, 20 volumes have been published in English, with the upcoming release scheduled for Tuesday, November 21, 2023.
The television anime adaptation of the manga premiered in October 2020, consisting of 24 episodes aired over two uninterrupted seasons. The second season began in July 2023 and is currently ongoing. Similar to the first season, the second season is also planned to have two uninterrupted seasons.
In addition, the franchise released the Jujutsu Kaisen 0 film in Japanese theaters in December 2021. This film is based on Akutami's original manga prequel story of the same name and features many characters from the mainline series. However, the focus of the prequel shifts to Yuta Okkotsu as the main protagonist instead of Yuji Itadori.
