'Jujutsu Kaisen' Gets Prequel Anime Film
TOHO animation simultaneously opened an official website, revealing a teaser visual (pictured) and announcement promo. MAPPA will return to produce the film, with Toho in charge of distribution. The film will open in theaters in Japan this Winter.
Synopsis
Yuuta Okkotsu is haunted. Ever since his childhood friend Rika died in a traffic accident, her ghost has stuck with him. But her spirit does not appear as the sweet girl Yuuta once knew. Instead, she manifests as a monstrous and powerful entity who fiercely protects him. Unable to control Rika's violent behavior, Yuuta is helpless to stop the bloodshed that follows from her brutal vengeance. As a result, when apprehended by "Jujutsu" sorcerers—the secret guardians of the world, trained to combat forces like Rika—Yuuta wishes to be completely isolated so that no one else can get hurt.
Yet his apprehender, the master sorcerer Satoru Gojou, has different plans for him: he will join Jujutsu High School and learn to control Rika in order to help people. Now a first-year at this school, Yuuta starts to learn Jujutsu arts and combat malignant beings. Alongside his new classmates Maki Zenin, a Jujutsu weapons expert; Toge Inumaki, a spellcaster who uses his words as weapons; and Panda, a seemingly walking and talking panda bear, Yuuta begins to find his place in the world and, for once, to feel comfortable with his abilities. However, as his training progresses, Yuuta comes to learn that the dangers of the Jujutsu world go far beyond that of wicked spirits. [Written by MAL Rewrite]

Huh, I’ve never seen anyone do that. And I’m on Twitter a lot (where usually all the drama starts). If people are like that then yes obviously that’s gross.
Sadly, it's already happening. There are nobamaki shippers who are obsessed with imposing on everyone not to ship maki with any guy, they're also hating on the peaceful shippers (yutamaki fandom is in the minority here) and worse the harassment towards artists is already starting. They're love starting ship wars themselves.
That sucks, they shouldn't take shipping so seriously and harass others for it.
I'm a multishipper so I ship nobamaki, inoyuta and yutamaki lol. I hate when the more extreme shippers start fighting over this. Hopefully the anime movie will show some cute yutamaki moments

Tell that to the people who turned NobaMaki into the new MomoJiro and are trying to impose on everyone that your favorite character is a lesbian and you can't ship him with male characters.

My JJK's ship is a fanon itself, so I don't even think about starting ship wars because of this. But I remember MHA all too well and how hard I had to defend TodoMomo. Therefore, the obsession with this immediately began to annoy me.

Hopefully after that the weirdos from the tumblr will stop fantasizing that Maki and Nobara are lesbians. Especially Maki, considering her ship tease with the prequel protagonist.
Just let people ship who they want. A ship doesn't need to be canon for people to like it. It may be annoying to you that people are shipping a non-canon ship but other people enjoy it and it doesn't harm anyone so just let them be?
