Crunchyroll has partnered with virtual fitness platform The Conqueror Challenges to launch a Jujutsu Kaisen fitness challenge, a global anime-themed exercise event that turns walking, running, and cycling milestones into a fan experience. The challenge officially begins on May 15 and will run for 1 week to 24 months, depending on the participant’s goal.
In the Jujutsu Kaisen fitness challenge, participants can complete distances individually or in teams while unlocking “exclusive contests, giveaways,” and physical medals tied to the Jujutsu Kaisen franchise. The challenge operates as a promotional extension of Jujutsu Kaisen IP, while being a standalone fitness event, a model The Conqueror has previously deployed with The Lord of the Rings and Star Wars: The Mandalorian.
The challenge is available globally through The Conqueror's iOS and Android app, excluding selected regions like Japan, North Korea, Russia, Belarus, Venezuela, and Cuba. According to the registration page, participants need to be 15 years or older to take part in the Jujutsu Kaisen fitness challenge.
How the Jujutsu Kaizen Fitness Challenge Works
The Conqueror is offering more than 100 types of workout challenges, including Walking, indoor and outdoor Running, Swimming, Cycling, Skiing, and Wheelchair, in their Jujutsu Kaisen fitness challenge. The challenge features three distance tiers: 79km, 88km, and 124km, and are changeable using the Conqueror App's Headwind or Tailwind feature.

The Jujutsu Kaisen fitness campaign features maps modeled on the signature Domain Expansion from the franchise. These illustrated maps will track an avatar's journey from the grounds of Tokyo Jujutsu High School to Yasohachi Bridge.
The team mechanics are also unique, with each team member contributing to the team leaderboard and creating individual achievements. The team moves together on the in-app map and completes the distance. Every participant will receive their own medal.
Jujutsu Kaisen fitness challenge participants also gain access to The Conqueror’s private Facebook community group, where they can tell their stories, share achievements and losses, while inspiring each other’s fitness journey in a Jujutsu Kaisen-themed virtual world.
How to Access Conqueror's Jujutsu Kaizen Fitness Challenge
Participants can join the Jujutsu Kaisen fitness challenge through the app after creating an account and purchasing the challenge. They need to sync their digital devices to automatically calculate activity data, or they can also log it manually.

Currently, the Conqueror app supports syncing with multiple devices and platforms, including Apple Watch, Google Fit, Adidas Running, Fitbit, Strava, and Runkeeper. As per the website, the Jujutsu Kaisen fitness challenge joining code will expire after two years from the purchase date.
The event comes as Japanese companies seek new engagement models outside traditional collaborations and merchandising initiatives. Crunchyroll and Conqueror’s Jujutsu Kaisen event brings the IP into a lifestyle engagement initiative that blends wellness with fan participation.
While the campaign primarily targets dedicated fans and fitness enthusiasts, it reflects how anime franchises are increasingly expanding into larger entertainment and lifestyle ecosystems. For Crunchyroll, the Jujutsu Kaisen fitness challenge also extends one of anime’s most commercially successful modern IPs as the anime awaits its next season release.
