Jujutsu Kaisen has hit the ground floor running, only taking a few years to hit the upper echelon of the anime that got their start in Weekly Shonen Jump. With the prequel film proving how popular Gege Akutami’s franchise has become, cosplayers are taking the opportunity to bring to life the hero of Jujutsu Kaisen 0. While Yuta Okkotsu might be as powerful as Yuji, his cursed energy exudes itself in a far more disastrous way that is wildly tragic at the same time.
At this year’s Jump Festa, Jujutsu Kaisen announced that Studio MAPPA would return to the fan-favorite Shonen series for a second season, which was slated to arrive next July. Much like Jujutsu Kaisen 0, the next season will study the past of Jujutsu Tech, but rather than following Yuta’s story once again, we’ll see a young Gojo in a similar position as Yuji and Yuta, giving us a better idea of the tragic background that the all-powerful teacher had with the nefarious villain and what led to the drastic change from his early years to how anime fans know him today.

Yuta Kaisen
Twitter Cosplayer Call Her Sensei not only brought back Yuta Okkotsu following the events of the Shonen prequel film, but also built an impressive recreation of Yuta’s demonic partner who sprang to life thanks to a combination of the Jujutsu Tech student’s cursed energy and the loss of the love of his life:
While Yuta hadn’t appeared at all during the first season of Jujutsu Kaisen, his role in the future of the franchise isn’t over following the prequel movie’s release. With the post-credit scene of Jujutsu Kaisen 0 hinting at the future of the movie’s star, the question now arises whether the former student will return as an ally or an enemy to the main cast. Regardless of when Yuta does return to the anime adaptation, expect some major shockwaves to arrive throughout the anime season’s second season.
What do you think of this impressive Cosplay that brings back the star of Jujutsu Kaisen 0? Do you think we’ll see Yuta make an appearance in the anime’s second season? Feel free to let us know in the comments or hit me up directly on Twitter @EVComedy to talk all things comics, anime, and the world Jujutsu Tech.
