Jujutsu Kaisen Leakers Face Legal Action Over Latest Movie Spoilers

by

Anticipating the third season of the anime, MAPPA, famous for producing Jujutsu Kaisen, is bringing the highly anticipated backstory to cinemas. Titled Jujutsu Kaisen: Hidden Inventory/Premature Death – The Movie, this film includes episodes 1-5 of the anime’s second season, focusing on Satoru Gojo’s high school years. This flashback takes place prior to the Shibuya Incident Arc, providing answers about the strained relationship between Gojo and Geto that was hinted at in the prequel film. The movie premiered in Japan on May 30th, 2025, and will arrive in U.S. theatres on July 16th, 2025. As the release date nears, fans are eager to uncover the mysteries that await them in the upcoming anime season.

In essence, this compilation movie offers both beloved flashbacks from the past as well as fresh, unique moments involving Gojo, Geto, and their classmate Shoko. While the narrative remains consistent, it provides additional insights into their history. However, since these works originate in Japan, they are often leaked on social media prior to official releases, which is a copyright violation and can lead to a broader audience accessing them prematurely. This was particularly prevalent during the serialization of JJK manga, where many posts attracted millions of readers. Interestingly, the anime producers have taken a firmer stance against leaks compared to their manga counterparts, resulting in tougher consequences for those involved.

Unearthed online, I stumbled upon some clandestine snapshots and video clips of the conclusion of the latest screening of “JUJUTSU KAISEN: Hidden Inventory / Premature Death – The Movie.” It’s a clear violation of the law to capture a film within a theater setting.

Jujutsu Kaisen’s Official Account Confirms Taking Action Against Leakers

The authorized X account posted, “If someone breaks copyright laws such as the Film Piracy Prevention Act or the Copyright Law, penalties could be up to 10 years in prison, a fine of up to 10 million yen, or both. For everyone’s safety and enjoyment, we respectfully ask you not to engage in unauthorized filming, posting, or distributing content. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation.

If you’re wondering, “But I live far away from Japan, what difference could it make?” Well, just remember that recent incidents have shown anime producers successfully obtaining court orders to disclose the identities of Twitter users who leak anime content. This allows them to serve legal subpoenas on these individuals.

Furthermore, a widely recognized account dedicated to the series “Jujutsu Kaisen,” known as Myamura or @Go_Jover, cautioned followers against posting upcoming movie scenes. This user disclosed that the film’s creators had initiated legal measures, such as filing a court order to uncover the identities of those responsible for the leaks.

He recounted an earlier occurrence from last year related to “Demon Slayer”. This incident uncovered numerous accounts that had been circulating leaked material. Following a court order, most of these accounts were either deactivated or removed. Initially, many international users thought they were immune to legal repercussions; however, their posts rapidly gained traction, revealing spoilers to the vast majority of the JJK (Jujutsu Kaisen) community.

To effectively deter fans from sharing illegal leaks, such as those related to “Jujutsu Kaisen” or “Demon Slayer”, these strict measures are vital. It’s crucial to remember that while many leakers often escape the immediate consequences, the aim is to prevent the spread of these unauthorized releases altogether. For instance, after the 2025 re-release of Infinity Train, even the official “Demon Slayer” account took a stand against such actions, warning against recording and sharing theatre trailers like the Infinity Castle trailer.
