Jujutsu Kaisen S2 E1 sneak peek featured a somber tone, showing Suguru Geto encountering a cursed spirit in a dilapidated alley. Geto exorcises and consumes the spirit before encountering Satoru Gojo. Moreover, MAPPA CEO Ohtsuka assured fans of comical and action-packed scenes in the upcoming season.

During the panel, Shueisha editor Ikeda discussed the collaboration between the manga and anime teams. TOHO Producer Saitō expressed anticipation for Toji Fushiguro’s appearance. Gege Akutami’s Q&A session highlighted his inspiration and dedication to meeting fans’ expectations. Junya Enoki’s message confirmed the adaptation of the Hidden Inventory, Premature Death, and Shibuya Incident story arcs.

The panel also showcased the Jujutsu Kaisen: Crushed Clash video game, featuring playable characters from the anime. Notably, the English dub voices in the game sounded different from the anime, possibly due to Crunchyroll’s decision.

If you’re not familiar with the plot, Jujutsu Kaisen tells the tale of Yuji Itadori. He is a regular boy whose path intertwines with Megumi Fushiguro, a Jujutsu Sorcerer on a quest for Ryomen Sukuna’s formidable Cursed Object finger. Through an unintended act, Yuji’s companions inadvertently unleash the Cursed Object. 

Lastly, Jujutsu Kaisen S2 E1 is set to premiere on July 6, 2023. You can catch it on Crunchyroll! Shōta Goshozono took over as the director, while Sayaka Koiso and Tadashi Hiramatsu designed the characters. Yoshimasa Terui returned as the composer.
