Jujutsu Kaisen season 2 episode 7, titled Evening Festival, saw Kokichi Muta fighting Mahito using his Ultimate Mechamaru. He wanted to defeat both Mahito and Geto and inform Gojo about their plan. Unfortunately, Kokichi fell short as Mahito managed to kill him using his ability.

Later, a curtain was raised over the Shibuya crossing, trapping non-sorcerers inside it. Following that, a rumor began doing the rounds inside the veil, as per which, the non-sorcerers needed to get Satoru Gojo inside the curtain if they wanted to escape. Soon after, Gojo arrived at Shibuya.

Jujutsu Kaisen season 2 episode 8, titled The Shibuya Incident, will most likely see Satoru Gojo investigate the area inside the curtain. Soon after, he might end up fighting three curses. As evident from the preview video, Jogo, Choso, and Mahito are set to appear in Shibuya. If this is the case, fans could witness a three-on-one handicap battle.

The preview video also gave a glimpse of Yuji Itadori. Thus, there is a possibility that he may join some other sorcerers and head to Shibuya to help Gojo.
