The wait is almost over for Jujutsu Kaisen fans in the Philippines. Medialink Films has officially confirmed that JUJUTSU KAISEN: Hidden Inventory / Premature Death – The Movie will premiere in local theaters on September 3, 2025. This special cinematic release condenses and reimagines one of the anime’s most beloved arcs, delivering a fresh experience for both long-time followers and newcomers.
This compilation film revisits the Hidden Inventory / Premature Death Arc, which formed the gripping first half of Season 2. The arc follows the youthful days of Satoru Gojo and Suguru Geto, back when they were still allies and close friends, before their paths diverged in ways that would shape the entire future of the Jujutsu Kaisen world. The story delves into their mission to protect a Star Plasma Vessel, the challenges that tested their ideals, and the heartbreaking rift that forever changed their bond.
Beyond re-edited and enhanced footage from the original anime, the movie adds a new layer of emotional depth with an acoustic version of Tatsuya Kitani’s iconic theme song Ao no Sumika (Where Our Blue Is). Fans will also be treated to never-before-seen content, including a special Juju Stroll mini-anime segment that brings Gojo, Geto, and Shoko Ieiri back in lighthearted scenes created exclusively for this theatrical edition.
Originally released in Japan on May 30, the film is now making its way to other Asian territories. It will premiere in Hong Kong on September 4 and Taiwan on September 5, marking a regional rollout that reflects Jujutsu Kaisen’s massive popularity. The Philippine release offers fans a rare chance to relive the arc’s breathtaking animation, intense battles, and emotional weight on the big screen, exactly as it deserves to be experienced.
Medialink Films, best known for operating the Ani-One Asia platform, continues to expand the reach of Japanese animation in the region. Ani-One has built an extensive library of anime films and series, offering free streaming as well as premium Ani-One ULTRA subscriptions that provide exclusive titles, multilingual options, and extra perks.
