This was followed by a second play adapting the "Kyoto Goodwill Event Arc" and "The Origin of Obedience Arc" (December 2023-January 2024). A third stage play covered the "Jujutsu Kaisen 0" prequel manga (December 2024-January 2025). Most recently, the fourth stage play, "Butai Jujutsu Kaisen -Kaigyoku/Gyokusetsu-" (Stage Jujutsu Kaisen -Hidden Inventory / Premature Death-), ran in August and September 2025. Each production has expanded the theatrical footprint of the franchise.

Compilation films, "JUJUTSU KAISEN: Hidden Inventory / Premature Death – The Movie" (May 2025) and "Jujutsu Kaisen: Execution" (November 2025), further extended the anime's reach.
