Our Review
Jujutsu Kaisen: Hidden Inventory captivates as a thrilling anime compilation that revisits the formative years of Satoru Gojo and Suguru Geto, showcasing their unbreakable bond tested by cursed spirits and moral dilemmas. Yūichi Nakamura’s charismatic Gojo exudes boundless confidence, his Six Eyes and Limitless techniques rendered with breathtaking animation that elevates fights to art.
Takahiro Sakurai’s Geto adds tragic depth, foreshadowing his fall from grace, while Megumi Ogata’s Riko Amanai brings innocence to the high-stakes escort mission. MAPPA’s direction amps up the arc’s intensity with fluid choreography and vibrant cursed energy visuals, the soundtrack pulsing with tension during domain expansions. As of January 3, 2026, the film has netted over 1.85 crore in India, a solid debut for anime amid holiday crowds, projecting 5-7 crore domestically if otaku buzz holds—outpacing recent compilations but needing sustained screenings to match.
Comparing to other Jujutsu Kaisen entries, Hidden Inventory refines season 2’s arc like Jujutsu Kaisen 0’s prequel success (over 200 crore worldwide), focusing on backstory over Yuji’s chaos, yet it echoes Demon Slayer: Mugen Train’s emotional punch (500 crore global) without the train spectacle. Budget-wise, at 100 crore equivalent, it’s efficient like Spy x Family Code: White (modest hit), recovering via theatrical and merch, unlike flops burning on hype.
Future predictions see it crossing 300 crore worldwide, boosted by international acclaim for Gojo’s arc—similar to One Piece Film: Red’s 200 crore haul. However, competition from Ikkis might cap India run; its evergreen sorcery lore ensures strong OTT viewership, akin to how Chainsaw Man arcs endure. Delving deeper, Hidden Inventory probes themes of isolation and ideology in a cursed world, using Gojo-Geto dynamics to mirror real friendships strained by ideals, without shonen clichés.
Nakamura’s portrayal cements Gojo as an icon, evolving from series to cinematic depth, positioning him beyond voices like in My Hero Academia. The ensemble shines in curse battles, with Hanazawa’s Utahime adding levity absent in darker fares like Attack on Titan (compilation hits).
Box office till date reflects urban anime hubs at 70% revenue, with steady holds post-opening; forecasts peg 6 crore India net max with under-20% drops, outperforming niche anime like Blue Lock films amid fan fatigue. Ultimately, it’s a masterful arc revival celebrating power’s burden, a vital Jujutsu Kaisen chapter sparking debates on fate and bonds for years in evolving anime landscapes.
