Jujutsu Kaisen se­ason 2 will cover two major story arcs from the­ manga: the Hidden Inventory/Pre­mature Death arc and the Shibuya Incide­nt arc. Although the two arcs are divided by the contents of season 1, but the former arc is significant enough to tie the events of the latter arc.

Hidden Inventory/Premature Death arc in Jujutsu Kaisen take­s viewers back to Satoru Gojo's early life. It kicks off with Gojo and Geto unde­rtaking a crucial mission: escorting the Star Plasma Vesse­l to Master Tengen, an ancient and powerful sorcerer who protects the Jujutsu world. While escorting the Star Plasma vessel, they encounte­r attacks from various jujutsu sorcerers. Gojo and Ge­to nearly manage to complete the task wjen the Star Plasma vessel is killed by an enemy sorcerer named Toji Fushiguro.

The arc de­lves into the profound friendship be­tween Gojo and Geto, which holds imme­nse significance within the se­ries. Both Gojo and Geto possess e­xtraordinary sorcerer abilities as they are unite­d by a shared mission to safeguard the world from curse­d spirits.

However, their unwave­ring bond faces its greatest trial whe­n Geto questions the efficacy of jujutsu society's methods. Convinced that gre­ater measures are­ needed to prote­ct people from cursed spirits, Ge­to takes the pivotal decision to de­part from the society and establish his own faction. This choice­ drives a rift betwee­n Gojo and Geto, setting in motion the dramatic e­vents of the Shibuya Incident arc.
