In a move sure to thrill fans across Japan and beyond, the highly anticipated compilation film Jujutsu Kaisen: Hidden Inventory / Premature Death (劇場版総集編 呪術廻戦 懐玉・玉折) is set for release on 30 May 2025. To coincide with the film’s theatrical debut, a comprehensive range of exclusive goods will be made available at cinemas nationwide and via the TOHO animation STORE from 11:00 AM JST. As excitement mounts for the feature film, the accompanying merchandise collection is already generating considerable buzz.
This special compilation condenses the emotionally charged Hidden Inventory / Premature Death arc, one of the most critically acclaimed storylines from Gege Akutami’s original manga, brought to life with stunning animation and intense narrative depth. The film follows fan-favourite characters Gojo, Geto, Nanami, and Yu during their formative years at Tokyo Jujutsu High—highlighting events that would later shape the entire series.
To mark this release, a sprawling collection of original merchandise featuring newly drawn illustrations of the characters enjoying a day at the cinema has been unveiled. These illustrations lend a casual, human touch to otherwise battle-hardened sorcerers, and the goods themselves are as varied as they are desirable.
Headlining the line-up are acrylic keychain collections showcasing Gojo, Geto, Nanami, and Yu in film-themed poses, perfect for fans wanting a stylish yet playful tribute to their favourite characters. Alongside these are rubber keyholders, hologram badge sets, and acrylic standees—staples of the anime merch world that allow for vibrant, dimensional displays at home or at work.
For stationery lovers, the launch includes mini and standard-sized clear file sets adorned with dynamic visuals from the film, ideal for both practical use and collecting. Sticker sets, die-cut Gojo stickers, memo pads styled like student handbooks, and even stained-glass-style bookmarks offer charming, affordable options for fans who like a bit of flair in their everyday items.
There’s also something for fashion-forward supporters. The commemorative Jujutsu Kaisen: Hidden Inventory / Premature Death T-shirt features tasteful artwork that balances anime aesthetics with streetwear appeal. Paired with the new tumbler design and a durable tote bag, fans can now rep their fandom in subtle yet stylish ways—be it on the morning commute or at the local café.
A Merchandising Strategy Rooted in Experience
TOHO animation’s merchandising strategy here mirrors successful models seen across other major anime franchises. By anchoring this release around a theatre-exclusive roll-out—with a simultaneous online opening—they maximise visibility while tapping into the immediate post-viewing emotional high of fans. The physical exclusivity of certain items will likely increase both demand and aftermarket resale value, a marketing trend that has served anime films like Demon Slayer and My Hero Academia extremely well in past years.
Moreover, by including a wide variety of goods—from practical items like ballpoint pens and pouches to purely aesthetic pieces such as acrylic blocks and metal medallions—this drop caters to every type of fan. Whether you’re a die-hard collector or a casual viewer seeking a memento, the breadth of this merchandise line ensures there's something for you.
