Synopsis

Spoiler shield

A veil abruptly descends over the busy Shibuya area amid the bustling Halloween crowds, trapping countless civilians inside. Satoru Gojo, the strongest jujutsu sorcerer, steps into the chaos. But lying in wait are curse users and spirits scheming to seal him away. Yuji Itadori, accompanied by his classmates and other top-tier jujutsu sorcerers, enters the fray in an unprecedented clash of curses — the Shibuya Incident. In the aftermath, ten colonies across Japan are transformed into dens of curses in a plan orchestrated by Noritoshi Kamo. As the deadly Culling Game starts, Special Grade sorcerer Yuta Okkotsu is assigned to carry out Yuji's execution for his perceived crimes. A compilation movie of Shibuya Incident including the first two episodes of the Culling Games arc.

Whilst I do reckon that the cinema is a great place for this kind of vibrant and action-packed animation, it’s not so important for the stories here as this spends quite a while abridging what are quite clearly previous storylines before teeing us up for an introduction to the new curse-laden grudge matches that are to play out in the next series. Now that’s hardly new, but at least the “Demon Slayer” films try to present more stand-alone movies that offer us something a lot more self-contained. This doesn’t, and so if you don’t already know about the story thus far, nor of the sources of the bitterness, rancour and alliances between “Otadori”, “Gojo”, my own favourite “Okkotsu” et al then this won’t really advance your knowledge much and really only serves as a tease. That said, there are still plenty of metamorphosing slug-like critters with huge teeth, brutal combat scenes that test the mortality of just about everyone and it’s got a soundtrack that works well in helping the pace rollick along. It’s a decent watch, but to make much sense of the continuing characterisations it is really only for regular fans of the series - and I suspect they will have seen it all before.
