Crunchyroll is making sure you can still show off your Jujutsu Kaisen fandom while piling on the layers this autumn and winter.
Crunchyroll Loves, the streaming company's in-house apparel brand, has revealed a new collection of Jujutsu Kaisen branded long-sleeve shirts, sweatshirts, hoodies and a beanie featuring Yuji Itadori and the other Curse users of Jujutsu High. The current collection also includes a short-sleeved tee branded with everyone's favorite sorcerer, Satoru Gojo. Fans looking to update their wardrobes have until Nov. 15 to preorder items from the collection, which will be sold exclusively through the Crunchyroll Store.
This isn't Crunchyroll Loves' first collaboration with Jujutsu Kaisen; the streetwear brand released another collection based on the dark fantasy franchise earlier this year. The apparel company previously created collections based on Mobile Suit Gundam, Dr. Stone, Mob Psycho 100 and Megan Thee Stallion's current favorite, Black Clover.
A number of other streetwear companies have also announced collaborations with popular shonen anime franchises recently. Atsuko, another clothing company that specializes in anime merchandise, released a new One Piece collection in late September, while Steve Aoki's Dim Mak Collection released a line of Bleach-branded shirts and hoodies earlier that month.
The new clothes will be the perfect thing to wear when the first movie in the series, Jujutsu Kaisen 0, gets released. While the highly anticipated prequel movie has only been confirmed for a Japanese release at this time, the series' runaway international popularity guarantees that the movie will probably get a domestic release sooner rather than later. Though the movie takes place before Yuji became a Curse user and was introduced to the world of Jujutsu High, it does feature appearances from many of the other popular characters from the series, including Satoru, Panda and Maki Zenin. Director Sunghoo Park and animation studio MAPPA will also return for the film.
Jujutsu Kaisen was created by Gege Akutami and begin publication in Weekly Shonen Jump in 2018. The supernatural-action series tells the story of Yuji Itadori, a high school student who accidentally becomes the host of Ryomen Sukuna, a powerful spirit. Sukuna is just one of a race of evil spirits known as Curses, which are souls that have been transformed into monstrous beings that now seek to harm the living.
Akutami's Jujutsu Kaisen manga is localized in English and is distributed in North America by Viz Media, while the anime series is available for streaming on Crunchyroll and HBO Max.
