Jujutsu Kaisen season 2 episode 17 showcased the epic battle between Ryomen Sukuna and Mahoraga. The Blu-ray version is expected to address any issues that were present during its initial broadcast and distribution.
Although many fans loved the episode, some anime-only viewers had concerns about the animation style. This made it difficult for them to fully understand what was happening in the anime.
That's because too much was happening on the screen, which made it impossible for fans to understand how Mahoraga's adaptability or Sukuna's domain worked.

Many fans were disappointed by the animation style change in the Jujutsu Kaisen season 2 episode 17.
While most other episodes of the anime tried to maintain its usual style, episode 41 took a different approach. The single fight scene was animated by several talented animators, each incorporating their own style. This resulted in a unique and somewhat unconventional sequence that may surprise fans.
Although the entire episode cannot be altered, fans can look forward to MAPPA making necessary video corrections to address any concerns. To see these changes, fans will need to purchase the Blu-ray or DVDs, or watch the episode in theaters upon its release on Friday, March 29, 2024.
