What happened in Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 Episode #7?

Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 Episode #8 Will Truly Start the Shibuya Incident

Season 2 episode #7 predominantly focused on resolving the intense battle between Mechamaru and Mahito. In a surprising turn of events, Mechamaru managed to inflict damage on Mahito by targeting his soul with powerful attacks. However, Mahito cunningly deceived the sorcerer by feigning his own demise, ultimately gaining control of the situation. Tragically, Mechamaru met his demise at the hands of Mahito, paving the way for Geto and his allies to execute their nefarious scheme in the Shibuya district. On Halloween, they set their plan in motion, ensnaring numerous unsuspecting civilians within a deceptive barrier. The episode concludes as Gojo fearlessly steps into the midst of this treacherous plot, prepared to confront whatever malevolent intentions await him.

Episode #7 successfully built intrigue and unease surrounding the events unfolding in Shibuya. However, it is episode #8 that will truly kick off the arc, as Gojo prepares to confront Geto and his cursed allies. The first part of the season has focused on exploring Gojo's past and his relationship with Geto, making their upcoming confrontation emotionally charged, despite Gojo's typically playful demeanor. Additionally, this encounter is likely to shed light on how Geto managed to survive his previous encounter with Gojo in the Jujutsu Kaisen 0 movie. Meanwhile, the sorcerers gathered outside Shibuya, including Yuji, Nanami, and Nobara, will also find themselves facing off against formidable cursed enemies, promising thrilling battles.

The Shibuya Incident arc is highly acclaimed as one of the top arcs in Shonen manga. Anime fans who haven't experienced its greatness yet will hopefully witness its uniqueness in the upcoming episode, as long as studio MAPPA continues to excel with the source material. If it does, Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2's eighth episode could become one of the series' finest. Be sure not to miss Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 episode #8 when it premieres on Crunchyroll on September 14, 2023.
