Jujutsu Kaisen season 2 episode 5 is set to release on August 3, 2023, at 11:56 pm JST. With the mission now concluded, a clash of ideals will cause a rift between Geto Suguru and Gojo Satoru.
The upcoming episode is important as it will give fans some context about Geto Suguru’s shift in perspective and how he ended up becoming a criminal who was pursued by the Jujutsu society.
Toji Fushiguro shined for a brief moment in the previous episode as he took on the famed Gojo Satoru and his Six Eyes. The gap in their skills led to Toji’s death, and his last wish involved his attempt to save Megumi from the Zenin family.
The upcoming episode of Jujutsu Kaisen season 2 will most likely conclude the Gojo’s Past arc and introduce a new character at the same time. If fans wish to get a headstart, they can pick up chapter 76, which will be adapted in the upcoming episode.
