Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 details
It was recently announced that the series’ second season has been confirmed and is set to release sometime in 2023. Additionally, the team also announced that MAPPA will be returning to adapt the second season. Two key visuals for the second season have already been released.
The first one features Gojo, Ieiri, and Geto Suguru in it. The picture hints that the second season will pick things up from where Season 1 left off by adapting Gojo’s Past arc to start things off. This arc explores the time when Gojo and Geto were classmates and were asked to escort Star Plasma Vessel to Master Tengen.
Similar to the first key visual, the second one features Gojo, Itadori, Nobara, and Fushiguro inside a train compartment. This indicates that the second season will be animating the Shibuya Incident arc as well. So far, this has been one of the most anticipated and enjoyable story arcs in the series.
Jujutsu Kaisen Season 1 synopsis
Yuji Itadori, a high schooler, enjoyed taking part in baseless paranormal activities with his seniors at the Occult Club. Despite being physically gifted, he continued spending time with his seniors and visited his grandfather at the hospital after school.
One fateful day, he encountered Megumi Fushiguro, a first-year sorcerer at Tokyo Jujutsu High, who warned him about a powerful cursed item on which Itadori’s seniors got their hands. This endangered the lives of those in possession of it, and the two rushed to Itadori’s school to save them. While the two succeeded in saving them, Fushiguro was caught off guard by another curse.
Itadori saved him and decided to consume the cursed item in order to gain powers to fight the curses. However, he soon became a partial vessel to Sukuna, the King of Curses. The protagonist was then admitted to Tokyo Jujutsu High under the consultation of Satoru Gojo to become a jujutsu sorcerer. From then onwards, Itadori chose a path from which he could not turn back at any cost.
