What can fans expect from Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2?

So far, there are 14 story arcs in the manga, and the first season has adapted six of them, which accounted for a total of 64 chapters. Season 1 concluded with the adaptation of the Death Painting arc, which means the second season will begin with the adaptation of Gojo’s Past arc. This particular arc has about 14 chapters and revolves around the sorcerer’s life when he was a second-year student. At this point, Geto was his classmate, and the two were on a mission to escort the Star Plasma Vessel, which needed to reach Master Tengen.

However, the main focus of the second season will be the Shibuya Incident arc. This arc will focus on the curse users and curse spirits alliance that was formed by Geto and Mahito. They will attempt to seal Gojo Satoru forever. Fans can expect some impressive fights in this arc, and MAPPA’s top-tier animation will serve as the icing on the cake.
