In 2006, second-grade sorcerer Utahime Iori and first-grade sorcerer Mei Mei investigate a cursed house. When the two become trapped, second year students Satoru Gojo, then 17, Suguru Geto, then 16, save them with Shoko Ieiri. Gojo and Geto have a friendly disagreement about the relationship between sorcerers and non-sorcerers, the weak and the strong. Their next assignment comes courtesy of Master Tengen. Every 500 years, to counteract his Immortality cursed technique and prevent him from evolving beyond a human, Tengen merges with a person known as the "Star Plasma Vessel" to restart his body. Gojo and Geto are hired to protect the current Vessel, 14-year-old Riko Amanai, who is being targeted by two groups: curse user sect "Q", and religious group "Time Vessel Association," who worship Tengen and believe her assimilation will taint his purity. The boys are attacked by Q members. Due to being non-sorcerers, the TVA hires an assassin to kill Riko: Toji Zen'in, now going by his wife's maiden name, Fushiguro.

Gojo and Geto easily dispose of the Q attackers and are introduced to Riko and her caretaker and only family, Misato Kuroi. Despite wanting to take her to Jujutsu High immediately for safety, Tengen orders them to allow her to attend school for the day and follow her wishes, as she will no longer be able to see loved ones or have a normal life once she is assimilated with him. Knowing he has no chance if he faces Gojo now, Toji decides to wait it out and let other attackers wear him down first, adding fuel to the fire by putting a 30-million-yen bounty on Riko's head. Gojo fights another attacker. Though he fails to execute his Reverse Cursed Technique: Red, he is able to defeat the attacker with his Six Eyes and Limitless. Riko receives a text message that Kuroi has been captured.

Gojo, Geto, and Riko storm the TVA's base in Okinawa to rescue Kuroi. They wait out the bounty's deadline by sightseeing on the island. Geto worries since Gojo has been using his Six Eyes technique non-stop for two days to protect them, making him tired. Once the deadline passes, the group returns to Tokyo Jujutsu High only to be attacked by Toji, who uses Gojo's fatigue to catch him off guard. Gojo holds him back while Geto takes Riko and Kuroi to Tengen's. Gojo realizes that Toji has no cursed energy and was instead born with a Heavenly Restriction, granting him incredible physical prowess. Using a special-grade cursed tool designed to deactivate cursed techniques, Toji is able to bypass Gojo's powers and kill him. In Tengen's lair, Geto gives Riko the option of rejecting the assimilation, having decided with Gojo to go against Tengen if she wishes. Riko admits her wish to live life as a normal person. As Geto prepares to leave with her, she is shot in the head by Toji, instantly killing her and leaving Geto stunned.

Gojo, also for the first time, hits Toji with a special combination of his Limitless ability, Hollow Purple. The left side of Toji's body is blown apart. As he succumbs to his wounds, he reveals that his son, Megumi, will be sold to the Zen'in clan in a few years, and for Gojo to do with that what he will. Geto rushes to the church to find Gojo bringing Riko's body back. Gojo stoically asks if they should kill the non-sorcerer TVA cultists. Geto responds that there is no point as the TVA will dissolve soon and there must always be a point to the actions of a jujutsu sorcerer.

One year later, Gojo has become so adept that he is sent on more solo missions, leaving Geto to feel isolated with his own increasingly conflicted feelings about his convictions and the value of non-sorcerers after Riko's death. Special Grade sorcerer Yuki Tsukomo reveals her desire to rid the world of cursed spirits created by the cursed energy from non-sorcerers. Geto realizes this is possible if they killed all non-sorcerers, forcing humanity to evolve. Two events push him over the edge: the death of Haibara, his cheerful underclassman during a mission, and when he discovers two sorcerer children (the Hasaba sisters) being abused by the non-sorcerer villagers. Now fully despising them, he slaughters the village and his own non-sorcerer parents, and is sentenced to death. Anguished, Gojo confronts him but is unable to go through with killing his friend. Geto states his goal of creating a world with only sorcerers and takes over the Star Religious Group. Gojo seeks out 6-year-old Megumi and decides to protect him from the Zen'in clan, taking Megumi under his wing. In the present in October 2018, Gojo is woken from his nap by Megumi, Yuji, and Nobara.

The trio later meets Utahime to discuss the traitor within Jujutsu High who has been working with the cursed spirits that attacked the school: Mechamaru. They go to the building where Kokichi Muta's real body is located, only to find it abandoned, confirming the truth. Muta had made a deal to work with Geto in exchange for Mahito using Idle Transfiguration to repair his body.

Muta prepares to attack Geto but Mahito, who survived his attack, catches him off guard, killing him. Several days later, on Halloween, a veil is dropped around Shibuya, trapping all civilians within. The crowd is told to ask for Satoru Gojo.

Yuji fights the grasshopper curse guarding the veil while Mei Mei and Ui Ui take care of the transfigured humans. He defeats it, destroying the veil, but Mahito and all the civilians are already gone. Acting on advice from Geto, Jogo uses the civilians in an attempt to distract and restrict Gojo from using his full power. He and Hanami execute a Domain Amplification, which allows them to deactivate a person's cursed technique, forcing Gojo to avoid them. Jogo recalls Geto's instructions to keep Gojo busy for 20 minutes before Geto arrives with the Prison Realm.

Pushed into a corner, Gojo activates his Domain Expansion for only 0.2 seconds, immobilizing everyone while minimizing the psychological damage of being in his Domain for the civilians. He saves the civilians by wiping out all one thousand transfigured humans, leaving him exhausted, just as Geto intended. It is then that he is confronted by the Prison Realm box. Before he can escape, Geto greets him, revealing himself to Gojo for the first time. The sight of his dead best friend leaves Gojo stunned, distracting him with memories of Geto, and allowing the time needed for the Prison Realm to trap him. He demands to know who the imposter is. "Geto" lifts the top of his head to expose a brain with a mouth. The brain survives by taking over people's brains with his Cursed Technique; he'd transplanted his brain into Geto's dead body to access his Curse Manipulation for sinister plans. In the train tunnels, Yuji is informed that Gojo has been sealed.

Yuji is informed of this through a Mechamaru earpiece. Muta had created these small communication puppets as failsafes to guide his comrades in case he died and Gojo was sealed. The devices run on his cursed energy. Muta guides Yuji, instructing him to inform everyone of Gojo's sealing. The other teams are sent into the veil and Ijichi is stabbed by curse user Haruta. Yuji calls out to Nanami from a rooftop about Gojo's sealing. Shocked, Nanami goes to meet him, taking Megumi and Ino along. The Prison Realm struggles to contain Gojo due to his interference within, forcing Pseudo-Geto to watch over it till it stabilizes.

Nanami leaves to find Ijichi and take care of what's going on inside Shibuya Station, instructing Yuji, Megumi, and Ino investigate the barrier preventing sorcerers from entering. The trio confronts the three curse users protecting the veils; Yuji and Megumi fight one while Ino fights the other two, a grandmother and her grandson. The curse users reveal that they're out having fun now that Gojo is sealed, as fear of his incredible power had prevented them from doing whatever they wanted. The grandmother completes a séance, transforming the grandson into Toji Zen'in. With Toji's strength, the grandson defeats Ino. Megumi figures out their opponent's Cursed Technique, "Inverse", which lets him reverse the strength of powerful attacks. Yuji and Megumi trip him up by throwing a barrage of both weak and strong attacks at him, defeating him.

Toji's powerful soul is able to completely overtake the grandson's body; he promptly kills the grandmother. On the streets, Nobara and Akari are confronted by Haruta, who easily overwhelms both. Nanami arrives before he can kill them. Seething with anger, Nanami brutally defeats him and tells the two girls to wait for rescue in the mall.

He escapes to the restroom and floods it. While the Mechamaru earpiece is destroyed in the attack, the water disrupts Choso's blood, preventing him from going at his fullest. Despite this, he pierces Yuji's liver. Believing he will die here, Yuji goes all out with the intent of taking Choso down with him so the others can save Gojo. However, Choso uses his blood to form a shield that protects his body from Yuji's Divergent Fist. Choso is about to kill him when suddenly, flashes of memories that never happened flood his mind.

Megumi breaks through the Domain from the outside, starting a tug-of-war against Dagon's Domain with his own.

Toji takes Maki's cursed tool and targets the strongest opponent in his vicinity: Dagon. He effortlessly kills Dagon with no cursed energy and only speed and strength, ending the Domain. He promptly targets the next strongest: Megumi, who is launched outside the building for the fight. This inadvertently saves him from Jogo, who appears in the station to mourn Dagon and abruptly incinerates Nanami, Maki, and Naobito in retaliation. He senses Sukuna's presence and finds the Hasaba sisters feeding Yuji a finger. Jogo proceeds to feed Yuji ten at once, bringing the total to fifteen fingers within him. The sudden influx of fingers causes Sukuna to awaken, temporarily in control of Yuji's body. The Hasabas ask Sukuna to kill the imposter inhabiting Geto's body, offering another finger's location as compensation. Annoyed by the order, he brutally kills them and makes a deal with Jogo: if Jogo can land one hit on him, Sukuna will help his group and kill everyone in Shibuya except for one: Megumi.

He recalls when he offered to sell little Megumi to the Zen'ins, believing he would be better off there. Toji asks for his name; confused, Megumi responds "Fushiguro". Proud that Megumi chose his own family name over "Zen'in," Toji kills his vessel by stabbing his own head to prevent himself from fighting his son, though Megumi never learns his identity. He barely gets time to breathe before he is attacked by Haruta. Elsewhere, Sukuna and Jogo engage in a fiery battle that absolutely decimates Shibuya. Sukuna toys with Jogo before using his "Open" technique, revealing his capability to use fire as well. Jogo is incinerated in seconds, and reunites with Hanami and Dagon in a white void. Sukuna compliments Jogo on his strength, causing him to cry. As Sukuna reunites with Uraume, a curse user from his past, a creature starts to attack Haruta, who begs for an unconscious Megumi to wake up.

Mahoraga knocks him out. Sukuna saves Haruta as he recognizes the ritual; Megumi will be in a death-like state until Mahoraga is either defeated or kills him and Haruta. Intending to use Megumi for his future plans, Sukuna faces the shikigami himself to save him. The two proceed in a destructive battle that further devastates Shibuya. To counteract Mahoraga's ability to adapt to any attack, Sukuna activates his Domain Expansion: Malevolent Shrine, which mercilessly slashes every thing and every person within a 140-meter radius, including Mahoraga.

Nanami, delirious and near death, thinks about his dream of visiting a beach in Malaysia as he comes upon a group of transfigured humans. He uses his remaining strength to take them all down but just as he is done, Mahito appears and touches his back, prepared to use Idle Transfiguration. Nanami reflects on his life's choices, addressing Haibara, who'd been his close friend. A vision of Haibara appears before him and points toward Yuji, who has just stumbled upon the encounter, frozen in shock. Nanami tells Yuji he is leaving the rest to him, and is killed. Enraged and shaken about why this is all happening, Yuji fights Mahito, who takes advantage of his emotional instability. A double of himself that Mahito had created hours earlier encounters Nobara out on the streets. Realizing she is close to Yuji, Mahito decides to kill her to drive him further into despair.

She encounters the Mahito Double, who is unable to use Idle Transfiguration like the main Mahito. They discover that her Resonance attack damages the soul of both the double and main Mahito fighting Yuji in the station. Yuji recognizes Nobara's attack on the main Mahito and is rejuvenated, realizing he is not alone in this fight. Both Mahitos lure their opponents into the corridor, where they trade places, allowing the real Mahito to touch Nobara's face with Idle Transfiguration. Nobara reminisces about her past growing up in her small village, her best friend Fumi, and her idol, the older Saori, who was driven out by the villagers. In the present, Saori, now in her twenties, remembers Nobara. Nobara sees all of her friends in a white void. She tells Yuji to let everyone know that her life wasn't so bad.

Arata has also attempted to heal Nobara; he tells Yuji there is a slim chance she will survive. Todo begins to fight Mahito, and Yuji, now with a newfound resolve, joins him.

Yuji and Todo continue to battle Mahito together. The curse attempts to separate the pair but does not succeed. Influenced by Gojo, he activates a 0.2 second Domain Expansion to avoid Sukuna's retaliation to touching his soul; he succeeds in hitting Todo. Todo cuts off his hand before he's affected by the transfiguration. He activates his Cursed Technique by clapping Mahito's hand, allowing Yuji to land a Black Flash and score a direct hit on Mahito's soul. At this moment, Mahito has figured out the true shape of his own soul, and activates Idle Transfiguration on himself, becoming the "Instant Spirit Body of Distorted Killing". Todo again distracts him, making him think he's used his Cursed Technique when in fact it no longer works, allowing Yuji to hit another Black Flash that destroys Mahito's new form. Yuji impassively states that he will kill him as many times as he has to. A hysterical Mahito attempts to flee when Pseudo-Geto appears, offering to save the curse.

Yuki confronts Pseudo-Geto over their conflicting ideologies, the former believing humanity's next step in evolution is the removal of cursed energy, while the latter believes in optimizing cursed energy. Pseudo-Geto activates Mahito's Idle Transfiguration on two different kinds of non-sorcerers all over Japan that he has marked: those who consumed cursed objects like Yuji, and those with latent cursed techniques like Junpei, turning them all into sorcerers; among those awakened is Tsumiki Fushiguro. Pseudo-Geto will force the two groups to kill each other in order to gain a deeper understanding of cursed energy. He unleashes ten million cursed spirits into the country, allowing his group to escape. Before he leaves, he addresses Sukuna, saying that he is bringing back the golden age of sorcerers: the Heian era. In the aftermath, the government plans to go public about the existence of cursed energy as cursed spirits grow more rampant among the streets.
