Attention: The following article contains spoilers for Jujutsu Kaisen Episode 33, "Shibuya Incident - Gate, Open," currently available for streaming on Crunchyroll.

The show's comeback is a result of the compelling story, rather than the directing or animation. However, Jujutsu Kaisen episode 33 still had standout moments and an impressive opening that showcased the series' potential. The massive week for both the manga and anime adaptation made it difficult to avoid spoilers, indicating the show's growing popularity. This has sparked discussions on whether Jujutsu Kaisen should be recognized as one of the best shonen series, with credit given to Mappa and the entire cast and staff.

Chaos, Death, Or Gojo On Edge

What are your thoughts on Satoru Gojo? That was the question posed to various students and colleagues who knew him. Different adjectives were used to describe him, but it was evident from the start that he was considered the strongest. This unwavering belief in his abilities made it inconceivable to imagine him being defeated or even put in a difficult situation.

The success of Pseudo-Geto's plan hinged on two crucial factors: forcing Gojo to constrain himself and keeping him preoccupied for a specific duration of time. This particular episode delivered some of the most visually striking and impactful moments in the entire series, largely thanks to Mahito's twisted involvement. As always, the most terrifying cursed spirit caused chaos upon arriving in Shibuya, accompanied by a train filled with his altered humans.

No Time To Catch Your Breath

As soon as Hanami's technique vanished, a wave of people began to collapse, amplifying the ranks of both adversaries and victims within a split second, surging into the thousands. However, one crucial aspect eluded them: Gojo had already acknowledged that he couldn't rescue everyone, opting instead to banish them from this world. In a fleeting moment lasting a mere two-tenths of a second, he unleashed his Domain Expansion, aptly titled "Infinite Void," momentarily rendering all present unconscious. Seizing this opportune moment, he swiftly overturned the dire circumstances.

After triumphing over thousands of transfigured humans within a staggering 299 seconds, Satoru unknowingly sealed his own downfall. Despite it not being part of their initial strategy, the ploy worked to perfection. As 20 minutes elapsed, Satoru remained frozen in place, the final task being to keep him rooted for a mere minute. His sole confidant, resurrected before his very eyes and confirmed by the immense power of his Six Eyes, possessed the ability to paralyze anyone for a full minute.

The Prison Realm, an extraordinary artifact capable of sealing anything and anyone, served as the ultimate weapon against someone with boundless power and technique. The animation impeccably captured the anticipation of this long-awaited encounter. The characters' expressions, coupled with a meaningful flashback of Suguru's moments in the show and Jujutsu Kaisen 0, seamlessly flowed through Satoru's thoughts. The pacing was perfectly balanced, not too rapid to render them meaningless, nor too sluggish to vex the spectator. Yet, like Satoru, an unsettling feeling crept in. Despite everything pointing to the person before him being Geto, his soul intimated otherwise.

And It Comes Off

The familiar body, saturated with the accursed aura, yet it was no longer Suguru Geto who inhabited it. Finally, the barrier was lifted, exposing the truth that lay beneath Geto's perplexing resurrection, following Satoru's own hand that had taken his life. This entity assumes the form of a parasitic creature, seamlessly transferring from one host to another, effectively supplanting the host's mind with its own consciousness. Such a remarkable adaptation grants it the utilization of the host's intrinsic abilities and malevolent energy, making Suguru Geto an undoubtedly intriguing and alluring prospect.

His name, despite not being revealed in this episode, is Kenjaku. He is a curse user who possesses the ability to live for a thousand years by utilizing his innate technique to transfer himself into new bodies periodically. Kenjaku is currently collaborating with a group of Special Grade Cursed Spirits, using Geto's Cursed Spirit Manipulation, to plot the conquest and reshaping of the world according to his personal preferences. This scheme became feasible because Satoru hesitated in allowing Suguru's body to be cremated. It's quite surprising that no one noticed its disappearance.

Mechamaru's Message

The conclusion of the episode became the turning point of the Shibuya Incident. Without Kokichi Muta's final wish, Satoru's fate would have remained a mystery. Prior to his demise, Kokichi took precautions to ensure that his remaining cursed energy devices would alert his friends and classmates during the sealing process. Their timely intervention would help Satoru evade his predetermined destiny and disrupt Pseudo-Geto's schemes. Ultimately, this episode left us hanging on a positive note.

The Shibuya Incident escalates into a chaotic battle, causing widespread devastation in the world of Jujutsu Kaisen. Expect unexpected twists, heart-wrenching moments, and epic encounters as this all-out conflict unfolds. As the situation intensifies, other characters must step up to save Gojo and uncover Kenjaku's mysterious background, his true motives, and his plans, particularly those relating to Yuji Itadori, the series' main protagonist.
