Season 2 of Jujutsu Kaisen Premiere Date
Season 2 of Jujutsu Kaisen will premiere in 2023, as announced during a Japanese event (H/T Crunchyroll(opens in new tab)). There are three potential release periods for anime in 2023: winter (beginning in January), spring (beginning in April), and fall (starting October 2023). To hedge our bets, we’ll assume that a release in the fall of 2023 is most plausible.
Animation studio MAPPA has also worked on Jujutsu Kaisen 0 and Attack on Titan, both of which debuted in the Fall slot, and the forthcoming Chainsaw Man, which will make its debut in October. That’s a lot of work for any production company, but starting in October 2023, they’ll have plenty of time to make season two that lives up to their ridiculously high expectations. On September 25 we will know for sure. On that day, a special will run with Jujutsu Kaisen likely serving as the focal point of some big news.
About Season 2 of Jujutsu Kaisen
Jujutsu Kaisen, a popular Japanese anime series, is returning for a second season. Season 2 of Jujutsu Kaisen is scheduled to air in 2023. Although the specific air date has not been revealed, the release was confirmed during a Japanese event (H/T Crunchyroll). The possible release windows for 2023 include winter (beginning in January 2023), spring (beginning in April 2023), and fall (starting October 2023). However, a release in the fall of 2023 is most plausible. Anime fans may now feast their eyes on the series’ main images. The second season of Jujutsu Kaisen will centre on manga characters Satoru Gojo, Shoko Ieiri, and Geto Suguru. The next season will adapt the “Kaigyoku/Gyokusetsu” and “Shibuya Incident” arcs and will air for two cours (quarters) for a continuous half-year run. Season 1 of Jujutsu Kaisen concluded after the Death Painting Arc (chapters 55-64) in the manga.
The history of people like Gojo, Natsuyu, and others is shown in the manga and anime Kaiyoku Gyoku Ori. Gojo’s Past is an arc that begins before the end of Season 1. Gojo will be seen attending Jujutsu High School during this period. Chapters 65–79 of the manga will be included in this arc. According to Games Radar’s speculation, the plot would likely include Gojo and Geto’s task to accompany a Star Plasma Vessel to Tengen. Jujutsu Kaisen author Gege Akutami’s sixth arc, titled “The Shibuya Incident Arc,” spans chapters 79 to 136. It’s a direct sequel to the entirety of the Shibuya Incident that took place on October 31, 2018. As expected, Mahito and Pseudo-union Getos of afflicted spirits and curse users move forward with their plan to seal Satoru Gojo. The main character Yuta Okkotsu narrative begins a year before Yuji Itadori’s period.
Although we haven’t seen Yuta in the first season, he has been the subject of several references by other characters discussing events from earlier in the series. Yuta was sent to Jujutsu High by Satoru Gojo after being cursed by his childhood buddy Rika. Since she is of the Special Grade, this is no ordinary curse. And Yuta is at a loss to manage and make use of her formidable might. Meanwhile, Suguru Geto is on a mission to eliminate Yuta Okkotsu, and he has set his sights on Rika to add to the legion of cursed spirits under his command, which will force him to face up against his former best friend and now mortal adversary, Gojo Satoru. Season 1 of Jujutsu Kaisen is available for streaming on Crunchyroll.
What parts of Season 2 of Jujutsu Kaisen’s plot would work best for an adaptation?
The Death Painting Arc, which spanned chapters 55-64 of this manga, marked the end of the show’s first season. Next up, assuming the anime follows the manga’s release schedule, is Gojo’s Past Arc, which spans chapters 65-79. That’s about a mission Gojo and Geto did in the past, protecting a Star Plasma Vessel on its way to Tengen, and, you got it, Gojo’s history. If that’s the case, then Season 2 may be a hodgepodge of Gojo’s history, intercut with a huge next storyline involving the Shibuya Incident (chapters 79-136). The entire plot of the Shibuya Incident Arc is Gojo and his new cursed alliance sealing away Goto.
That looks like the most likely outcome, given it has enough story for the second season of 25 episodes. The conclusion of the first season might be a clue as well. With Eso and Kechizu vanquished, Yuji and Nobara reunite with Megumi. Instead, Sukuna swallows the finger (thanks to an anime-style mouth in Yuji’s palm) and takes a little but significant step toward restoring his strength. As the third member of the Cursed Womb triplet, Choso, has joined forces with established series antagonists Geto and Mahito, Season 3 will presumably deal with both that growing evil and Choso’s presence.
There’s also the fact that there’s a mole at Jujutsu High, and that one instructor, Utahime, is very much on the lookout for the treacherous sorcerer. That will be a plot point in the upcoming season as well. Gojo recommends Yuji, Megumi, and Nobara (together with Maki and Panda) for promotion to Grade 1 Sorcerers, and the group then embarks on a new mission together at the end of Season 2.
First look at Season 2 of Jujutsu Kaisen!
The first piece of key art for season 2 of Jujutsu Kaisen has been unveiled on the show’s official Twitter account.
There have been a lot of huge announcements in December, and the Jump Festa 2023 was just going to add to that. It was announced at the programme when fans may expect to see the highly anticipated second season of Jujutsu Kaisen. The news came from Yuji Itadori, Satoru Gojo, and Mahito voice actors Junya Enoki, Yuichi Nakamura, and Nobunaga Shimazaki. Both the manga and the anime adaptation of the first season of Jujutsu Kaisen were instant smash hits. From October 2020 until March 2021, episodes of Yuji Itadori aired. In 2016, viewers were able to watch the film Jujutsu Kaisen 0, an adaptation of the manga of the same name that acts as a prologue to the main tale.
As one of the most financially successful anime films of recent memory, the film had its international premiere in March 2022, following its initial release in Japan over the Christmas season of 2021. The release window for Season 2 of Jujutsu Kaisen has been established, and it is between July 2023 and July 2024. The anime will run nonstop for six months, from early 2020 until late 2023, adapting the complete Hidden Inventory Premature Death Arc and the Shibuya Incident Arc from the manga. Jujutsu Kaisen 0 has touched on the topic of Satoru Gojo and Suguru Geto’s connection as pupils, but this new one-minute preview suggests that the focus will be expanded upon that theme.
All the regulars from the first season’s 24 episodes are coming back, and MAPPA is hard at work on the animation once again. Genge Akutami’s Jujutsu Kaisen manga debuted in 2018, and it is still being serialised. During the Jump Festa event, Nobunaga Shimazaki read a letter written by Akutami, which implied that either the manga as a whole or a specific arc within it would be concluding the next year.
Over 70 million copies of the English translation of the series published by Shueisha and Viz Media have been distributed to date, making it one of the best-selling series of all time. With regards to the anime adaptation, Crunchyroll now hosts both the film and the first season, and it will simulcast the second season as well.
