The animation doesn't just support the action, it IS the action, every frame designed to make you feel the impact before your brain processes what you're watching. Yuji swallowing that finger isn't a plot device, it's a deal with the devil that costs him everything, and the show never blinks away from what that means. You either surrender to the spectacle or you don't, and if you do, you're watching one of the most visually relentless shows on TV.

Yuji Itadori is a high schooler with enormous physical strength who would rather spend time with the Occult Club than join a sports team, and he often visits his bedridden grandfather in the hospital. When the club gets hold of a sealed cursed object, Yuji swallows it to save a friend under attack. The object is a finger of Sukuna, the King of Curses, and now the two share a single body. Curses are born from human negativity and can only be exorcised by another curse. Guided by Satoru Gojo, the most powerful of sorcerers, Yuji enters a school of jujutsu in Tokyo that fights curses, and he sets out on a path with no way back.
