Jujutsu Kaisen 0 tells the story of Yuta Okkotsu, haunted by the cursed spirit of her childhood love Rika Orimoto. Rika died in a car accident, but her spirit still lingers around Yuta as a curse to save him from any situation. It is like the Curse is protected of Yuta.
Not being able to cope with the death of his love Yuta soon learns that Rika is with him as a Curse, which is overprotective of him.
Plus, because of the Rika’s Curse, many people have died as well. Jujutsu Sorcerers of Jujutsu High soon apprehended Yuta so that they could help him channel his powers and able to control Rika so that the Curse Spirit doesn’t hurt anyone else.
Yuta is depressed and lonely and wishes to die alone to prevent others from getting hurt by his powers. So here Gojo Satoru, aka Gojo sensei, helps Yuta train in Jujutsu High gain control over Rika’s powerful Special Grade Curse Spirit and use it for the good of people.

He now wishes to help others by defeating cursed and evil spirits that haunt others. But soon, Yuta and Gojo Sensei learn that our main antagonist for Jujutsu Kaisen 0 Suguru Geto, who was once a student of Jujutsu High, now turned his back against them and works hand to hand with the Evil Curse spirits.
Suguru Geto wants to use Rika’s special grade curse spirit for his own objective; therefore, to stop him, Gojo, Yuta with his curse spirit Rita and the students of Jujutsu High battles with Suguru Geto and the evil curse spirits.
During the fight with Geto, Yuta finally manages to embrace Rita’s curse spirit completely and harness her powers. Finally, with that power, he manages to defeat Suguru and then we see Suguru sharing a chat with Gojo Sensei.
Suguru tells Gojo that he is late and tells him to kill him, but we see Gojo not doing that. He still lets go of Suguru, which he regrets, as we saw in the film.
Yuta finally learns about Rita’s Curse and decides to continue his fight in Jujutsu High to save the people from being killed by Evil Curse Spirit.

Jujutsu Kaisen 0 Ending Explained: Who Cursed Rika and Why?
One of the shocking facts of Jujutsu Kaisen 0 was learning about the truth of Rita’s special grade curse spirit. It was revealed that Yuta was the one who had cursed Rita to turn into a Curse Spirit.
As revealed in the film, Yuta and Soturo Gojo are descendants of one of the Big Three Vengeful Curse Spirit named Michizane Sugawara. The descendants of Michizane Sugawara, like Yuta and Gojo, holds special magic powers, as this is passed through the DNA.
So when Rika was hurt in the accident and died, Yuta hoped that she could still be alive with her and become some spectral being and because he was the descendants of the Big Three Vengeful Curse Spirit, he awakened the special magic and used it unknowingly with the running emotion and scared being left in the world without his lady love, and that is the reason why Yuta was the one who cursed Rita because of which she turned into a cursed spirit.
