Unauthorized footage from the final scenes of JUJUTSU KAISEN: Hidden Inventory / Premature Death – The Movie has surfaced on social media, leading to a public warning from the franchise’s official X (formerly Twitter) account. Fans are reminded that the movie includes a brand-new Juju Stroll episode. The announcement emphasizes that recording inside theaters is a criminal offense under Japan’s Law for Prevention of Unauthorized Recording of Films, and sharing such content also breaches the Copyright Act. The official post outlines possible legal consequences, which could involve up to 10 years in prison, fines of up to 10 million yen, or both, depending on the seriousness and extent of the violation. This marks the latest development in a rising wave of piracy-related measures aimed at major anime franchises, as studios and distributors ramp up legal efforts and collaborate internationally. The full statement says: Related CrackdownsOn May 11, the official Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba account issued a warning after an exclusive trailer for the upcoming Infinity Castle film, shown during revival screenings of Mugen Train, was recorded and leaked online. The statement, similar to today’s JUJUTSU KAISEN warning, emphasized a zero-tolerance stance on theater piracy across the anime industry. The film is set to premiere in Japan on July 18, with a global release beginning August 14. It will be distributed internationally by Crunchyroll in collaboration with Sony Pictures Entertainment. Revival screenings featuring the trailer began in Japan on May 9, followed by North American showings on May 14. Piracy isn’t limited to theater recordings. On May 25, the European Commission listed HiAnime, reportedly the world’s largest anime piracy website, on its Counterfeit and Piracy Watch List. This site, thought to be a rebranding of Aniwatch.to and Zoro.to, drew over 339 million global visits in February 2025, rivaling legitimate services like Crunchyroll.imeHeaven, another major unauthorized streaming site, was shut down in May after aggressive DMCA takedown actions, reportedly spearheaded by Crunchyroll. Site moderators confirmed the removal of all episodes, with many suggesting the content will not return. The crackdown on piracy has clearly intensified. On May 21, a Japanese corporation operating a “spoiler site” was referred to prosecutors for sharing detailed plot summaries and images from films like Godzilla Minus One, Shin Kamen Rider, and Overlord III. The Content Overseas Distribution Association (CODA) described the site’s actions as “malicious,” highlighting how such content diminishes the value of legitimate viewership and ticket sales, potentially discouraging fans from later watching the product. CODA also pointed out that this case is unusual, as an entire corporation, rather than just individuals, was referred to the Sendai District Public Prosecutors Office, possibly indicating a new phase of enforcement measures. Industry Response and Warnings to ViewersThe anime industry, with backing from organizations like CODA and the Motion Picture Association (MPA), is stepping up its fight against piracy in all forms, including theater leaks, online streaming, and spoiler-filled content. Recent measures include DMCA takedowns, criminal charges and penalties, international partnerships, and public awareness initiatives. Studios are asking fans to avoid sharing content without permission in any way, as highlighted in the JUJUTSU KAISEN warning. About JUJUTSU KAISEN: Hidden Inventory / Premature Death MovieThe film, which premiered in Japan on May 30, 2025, is a remastered theatrical version of the Hidden Inventory / Premature Death arc, originally featured as the first five episodes of JUJUTSU KAISEN Season 2.
