Despite being up against strong contenders, Jujutsu Kaisen season 2 has taken the lead in several categories at the Crunchyroll Anime Awards 2024. In addition to emerging victorious in the Best Opening and Ending Sequences categories, the show managed to win the Best Action, Supporting Character, Cinematography, and Voice Artist Performance (Japanese) categories.
