We finally get to see Maki, Panda, and Inumaki as first-years in Jujutsu Kaisen Volume 0 The Movie!

The character designs for the trio were revealed via the series' official Twitter account earlier today in Japan. Check it out below:

The new designs show striking differences with Maki and Inumaki as compared to their second-year looks. Maki is sporting round glasses and her hair is styled a bit differently. Inumaki's hair is completely different, a shorter version than the one we see in the anime. It's also slightly changed up from his Volume 0 manga design, which is closer to Itadori's hairstyle. Panda, of course, is a panda—so he pretty much looks the same.

Twitter user @kaikaikitan has provided us with an English translation of their character introductions:

Set as a prequel to the Jujutsu Kaisen series, the movie is an adaptation of Volume 0 of the manga which features Yūta Okkotsu, Zenin Maki, Panda, and Inumaki Toge as Tokyo Jujutsu High first-year students. Of course, Gojo Satoru is also part of the character list for this. The main protagonist of this story is Yūta—a boy who is haunted by a dangerous special-grade curse named Rika. Unable to control Rika's powers, he ends up becoming a jujutsu sorcerer to subdue her and help others.
