Jujutsu Kaisen director Sunghoo Park had meetings with Shueisha and the Jujutsu Kaisen manga author Gege Akutami to discuss the details about adapting the long-form narrative into a seasonal anime structure. Park also felt the challenges from the MAPPA's staff in adapting the series' designs, build the characters, and create the "Domain Expansion" scenes during their production which he stated that it required a lots of detailed discussion with Akutami and Shueisha to enhance their works. Compared to his previous work The God of High School, Park acknowledges in working with different teams through the use of their technique and creativity to make their action scenes possible.
Scriptwriter Hiroshi Seko discussed about the handling of the drama but also the comedic banter between the teenagers, adults, and the cursed spirits in the series which is mostly based on the original materials. Toho producer Hiroaki Matsutani also revealed the addition of the post-credits shorts "Juju Sanpo", in which an idea from Akutami came up with the draft and later submitting it to the staff. When discussing about the sound and music, Matsutani originally stated that they assigned Yoshiki Kobayashi as the composer, before its role was eventually given to both Hiroaki Tsutsumi and Yoshimasa Terui.
