What is special about the war spell?
The anime The Return of the Sword is adapted from the Japanese manga of the same name written and illustrated by Akutami Gege, published in Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump magazine since March 2018.
The story follows Yuuji Itadori, a normal person with natural physical abilities.
In a coincidental event, he accidentally learned about the existence of sorcerers - people who specialize in destroying invisible monsters (spirits) that exist all over the world.

At the same time, he also found a sealed finger of Sukuna - the strongest spirit in history.
In a dire situation, he ate this finger and was "possessed" by Sukuna, opening up the next developments in the series.
Explaining the victory of The Art of War at The Anime Awards, the series has left a great impression on anime fans around the world thanks to its unique world building, diverse and unique system of protagonists and antagonists.
Furthermore, part 2 of the film falls on the Shibuya Incident chapter - one of the most excellent segments in the manga.
Every development in the anime is constantly being discussed on Facebook, TikTok, and other social media platforms in 2023.
The film was also produced by Mappa, one of Japan's leading animation studios today, which explains its success in the categories of Best Director and Best Animation Editing.
In addition to The Return of the Sword , anime series such as Demon Slayer (Kimetsu no Yaiba) or Chainsaw Man also won important awards.
The legendary anime series One Piece also unexpectedly returned to the spotlight this year when it won the award for Best Continuing Anime.
