Jujutsu Kaisen Production Committee Targets Illegal Clone Games
The production team behind the hit anime Jujutsu Kaisen has issued a strong year-end warning after discovering multiple mobile games that allegedly use characters, settings, and elements from the series without authorization. The committee has made its stance clear: decisive action will be taken, including pursuing legal measures to the fullest extent in order to protect the franchise’s intellectual property.
Jujutsu Kaisen Takes Action Against Copyright-Infringing Games
On December 25, the official X account of the Jujutsu Kaisen anime production committee released a statement addressing the unauthorized use of the series’ content in mobile games. The announcement emphasized that the games in question have no official rights to use Jujutsu Kaisen characters, materials, or related content at any stage of planning, development, or distribution, classifying them as clear cases of copyright infringement. Players were also warned not to download or play such titles.
The statement further revealed that the committee is preparing to request the removal of infringing games from digital storefronts as quickly as possible. While no specific titles were officially named, many believe the primary target to be Domain Duel (Japanese title: Tokkyuu Jujutsushi), a strategic card game whose characters, visual style, and terminology closely resemble Jujutsu Kaisen. The game has drawn criticism in Japan for promotional animations and visuals that appear “uncomfortably similar” to the original anime.
According to Apple App Store listings, Domain Duel is published by Hongkong Mingmei Carpet Manufacture International Group Limited. Although the game description avoids directly referencing Jujutsu Kaisen, its iconography and in-game visuals feature characters reminiscent of Sukuna and others from the series. It also reportedly uses key terms such as “Domain Expansion” and “Unlimited Void,” leading many players to question whether the similarities are an attempt to skirt copyright restrictions.
While it remains unclear whether the warning applies exclusively to Domain Duel or extends to other unlicensed clone games still lurking on app stores, the firm response from the Jujutsu Kaisen production committee sends a clear message. As clone games and misleading advertisements continue to surface in the mobile market, this move raises important questions about whether stricter enforcement will help clean up the industry in the long run. Any further developments will be reported as soon as new information becomes available on This Is Game SEA.
