Beginning April 9, ninjas can test their mettle in the JUJUTSU KAISEN Cup. Earn rewards straight from Jujutsu High by climbing the ranks, like IPPON Decorations, Emotes, Gacha Coins, and Gold Medals. All participants will get a JUJUTSU KAISEN Logo Sticker, and the top 4,000 players will receive a limited Cursed Energy Release Emote.

Season 9 Starts Now!
