Welcome to jujutsu kaisen: new world order
Now, let's get a few things out of the way. The world is a lot more cursed than it is in the normal show. The whole world is coated in Cursed Energy, allowing spirits and sorcerers to pop up in just about any country. The stability of the world is maintained by thousands of smaller barriers across each country, each kept running by a sorcerer that manages said barrier. However, each of these barriers was erected with the help of a mysterious curse user. This, as it turns out, was a ruse from the man, who set up the barriers as part of a grand scheme of his.
The Heian Era was the height of Jujutsu, and this curse user intends to bring it back. These barriers are his way of doing so. When the time is right, he'll activate his plan to bring back the golden age of Jujutsu, but with major consequences. The preparations are nearly complete and he's beginning to make his moves in order to complete the first phase of his plan.
Beyond his machinations, Cursed Spirits and Sorcerers have been popping up far more regularly in Japan due to increased Cursed Energy in recent decades.
This means that the five big sorcerer families (Yes, five), have started making moves to secure their positions of power. Tokyo Jujutsu High and Kyoto Jujutsu High have been working their asses off to train the next generation of sorcerers.
The five clans (Kamo, Zen'in, Araka, Akarui, and Sarashina) are discussing amongst themselves what the cause could be, unknowingly in the presence of that cause already.
As a new age approaches, will you be a Sorcerer that protects the innocent civilians from the incoming wave of carnage, or will you become a Curse User and use the chaos as a leg up, securing your position of power in the new world order...
