Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 Release Date
Jujutsu Kaisen’s first season started streaming in 2020 and ended towards the end of March 2021. So after a long two-year gap, the anime is returning to blow up a huge storm in the anime community. JJK Season 2 has been confirmed to release in July 2023. We will have to wait a bit more for the exact date of its broadcast, but it has already been confirmed that Jujutsu Kaisen’s second season will be covered as two consecutive cours.
After the scintillating success of the first season and the JJK 0 movie, MAPPA Studios has been confirmed to be animating season 2 of the Jujutsu Kaisen anime. We haven’t got a full-fledged trailer yet, but what we do have is a 1-minute character introduction teaser.
This teaser video gives us a glimpse at the plot of the upcoming season. It starts with a clip from the climax of the JJK 0 movie, confirming that season 2 will focus on the tale of Satoru Gojo and Suguru Geto‘s time at Tokyo Jujutsu High (adapting Gojo’s past arc). There will also be an explanation for how Gojo and Geto went their separate ways, something that was alluded to in the Jujutsu Kaisen 0 movie. This will most likely be the focus of JJK Season 2’s first cour.
Spoiler Warning: This section contains major spoilers for the first season of Jujutsu Kaisen. So, please make sure to watch the anime to avoid ruining your experience. Also, this section includes details for the upcoming arcs, so read manga chapters 64-79 to avoid spoilers for Gojo’s past and the Shibuya incident.
Our leading trio, including Yuji Itadori, Megumi Fushiguro, and Nobara Kugisaki, were ordered to investigate a spate of mysterious deaths at Megumi’s previous school towards the end of the first season. While Megumi preferred to embark on the mission alone, Yuji and Nobara accompanied him. While they discovered the cursed domain that was causing the strange happenings, Yuji and Nobara were dragged out of the domain by another enemy.
The death of the two cursed womb brothers, however, enraged the oldest brother Choso (brief screen time in JJK Season 1). He will play a significant part in the upcoming season 2 of Jujutsu Kaisen.
The first cour of season 2 of Jujutsu Kaisen will start from the first season ended and shortly after that, it will switch to Gojo’s past arc. Season 2 of the anime will adapt the manga volume 8 and 9, which has been described by Viz Media as under:
Shibuya Incident Arc
The second cour of Jujutsu Kaisen season 2 will focus on the Shibuya Incident arc. This arc has been highly regarded as one of the best arcs by manga readers. The plot of the arc as described by the Jujutsu Kaisen fandom Wiki as follows:
The Shibuya Incident has been already foreshadowed and teased in the first season of the anime (Episode 21). The second cour will follow the start of the Shibuya arc, as it focuses on Geto Suguru’s plan to trap all the civilians inside the Shibuya Station. Many Jujutsu Sorcerers along with Gojo Satoru are sent to the station. What mysteries await them? We can’t wait to find out ourselves.
The total number of episodes in JJK’s second season hasn’t been revealed yet. As of now, the producers have confirmed that JJK Season 2 will be released in two consecutive cours. This means we will get up to 24-26 episodes in this new season starting in July 2023. Most likely, Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 will have 24 episodes, similar to the first season of the anime.
The second season of Jujutsu Kaisen will feature the following characters and Japanese voice actors:
- Yuji Itadori – Junya EnokiNobara Kugisaki – Asami SetoMegumi Fushiguro – Yuma UchidaGojo Satoru – Yûichi NakamuraRyomen Sukuna – Jun’ichi SuwabeGeto Suguru – Takahiro Sakurai
