Jujutsu Kaisen 0 Opens In US Theaters March 18

If anything seems to be performing well in theaters lately, it’s anime. Historically the box office numbers for theatrical anime releases have paled in comparison to their domestic competition, but with recent hits like Demon Slayer: Mugen Train, the times may be changing. Jujutsu Kaisen, another rising anime property, is about to debut its first big-screen story…will it find success too?

Jujutsu Kaisen 0 has a zero at the end because it’s a prequel. Some characters from the first season of the TV series will show up, but the main POV will be Yuta Okkotsu, a nervous high school student, who is being haunted by the curse of his childhood friend and enrolls at Tokyo Jujutsu High School to deal with it. Crunchyroll, who’s distributing the film Stateside, revealed the full sub and dub cast today:

• Yuta Okkotsu – Kayleigh McKee (English), Megumi Ogata (Japanese)

• Rika Orimoto – Anairis Quiñones (English), Kana Hanazawa (Japanese)

• Maki Zen’in- Allegra Clark (English), Mikako Komatsu (Japanese)

• Toge Inumaki – Xander Mobus (English), Koki Uchiyama (Japanese)

• Panda  – Matthew David Rudd (English), Tomokazu Seki (Japanese)

• Satoru Gojo –  Kaiji Tang (English), Yuichi Nakamura (Japanese)
