A brief recap of Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 Episode 4

In Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 Episode 4, titled Hidden Inventory Part 4, Toji Fushiguro defeated Suguru Geto and injured him with the Inverted Spear of Heaven. He later relinquished the body of Riko Amanai to the Time Vessel Association and learned of their origin.

It was later revealed during the conversation between him and Shiu Kong that they had orchestrated Kuroi’s kidnapping in an attempt to tire out Gojo’s Group. After Toji left the Association, he found a revived Satoru Gojo waiting for him. Satoru revealed that he has finally mastered Reversed Cursed Technique and healed himself.

Because Toji possessed too much knowledge about Limitless and the Six Eyes to defeat him with only Red, Gojo was forced to bring out Hollow Purple. Despite using the Spear and the Chain of a Thousand Miles, Toji’s arrogance lost him the battle. At the brink of his death, he told Gojo about his child, who would be sold to the Zen’in in a few years.

Later, Gojo and Geto retrieved Amanai's body amidst horrifying clapping from the Association members. It became clear that from here, the friends' paths diverged.

What to expect in Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 Episode 5

Jujutsu Kaisen season 2 episode 5 is expected to cover the entirety of the Premature Deat sub-arc, which takes up chapters 76-78 of the manga. Plot-wise, it would make sense to cover the remainder of Gojo’s Past arc in this episode as well, which takes up half of chapter 79.

This episode will focus more on Suguru Geto than the previous 4 installments and should bring the viewers back to the very first scene of season 2. The Premature Death sub-arc essentially shows Suguru's downward spiral. It is more emotional than the rest of the season so far and shows the dark side of the human treatment of the Jujutsu sorcerers.

Jujutsu Kaisen season 2 episode 5 should show how Suguru went from the righteous and moral boy seen in 2006 to the borderline unhinged genocidal maniac the viewers first met a decade later in Jujutsu Kaisen 0. It should also feature a surprise appearance of a familiar face from season 1 and the beginning of Gojo's character development.
