Jujutsu Kaisen season 2 finale: The pacing of the anime’s narrative suggests the debut of Naoya Zen’in
Jujutsu Kaisen season 2 finale is going to pick up the narrative from where episode 22 of season 2 left off. The final episode will set off from chapter 136 in the manga.
Judging from the pacing of previous episodes in this season, it appears that each episode covers roughly 3 to 3.5 manga chapters. As a result, it is safe to assume that the season 2 finale will likely adapt manga chapters 136 to 138.

As a result, viewers can look forward to the debut of Yuta Okkotsu in the Season 2 finale of Jujutsu Kaisen, signaling the start of Itadori's Extermination Arc. Additionally, the incorporation of content from chapter 138 in the finale will introduce the most despised Zen'in character in the anime's plot.
Furthermore, this episode is set to offer more information about the Zen'in Clan and bring other clan members into the spotlight.
Naoya Zen’in will assume the place of the most hated character following Mahito’s demise
Naoya Zen’in is often regarded as the most disliked member of the Zen’in Clan within the Jujutsu Kaisen community. Despite having a character design that appeals to fans, his personality makes him the most despised member of the Zen’in clan in the series. Despite being one of the most powerful and respected clans in the jujutsu society, the Zen’in Clan is met with significant disdain from fans. This sentiment is fueled by the clan's widespread prejudice and their overall oppressive and antiquated beliefs.

Naoya, the son of the current clan leader Naobito Zen’in, not only embodies the characteristics of the rest of the Zen’in clan but is arguably worse than most other members. His disdainful and disrespectful treatment of Maki and Mai, along with his murderous intentions towards Megumi Fushiguro and Yuji Itadori, has earned him the contempt of the fanbase.
While fans of the manga are already acquainted with his deplorable nature, the season 2 finale of Jujutsu Kaisen will offer exclusive insights to anime-only viewers about the reasons behind Naoya Zen'in's negative reputation. The introduction of this haughty, misogynistic, and odious character in episode 23 of the second season is bound to leave a distasteful impression on fans.

Get ready to see Naoya make a dramatic entrance in the season finale of Jujutsu Kaisen season 2, setting him up to become the most despised character in the series after the departure of the notorious curse, Mahito. His arrival will also bring a new adversary into the story. Keep an eye out for more anime and manga updates in 2023.
Editor's P/S
As a die-hard Jujutsu Kaisen fan, I am eagerly anticipating the season 2 finale and the potential introduction of Naoya Zen'in. The hints about his arrival have sent a wave of excitement through the fandom, and I can't wait to see how the anime brings this controversial character to life. Naoya's reputation as the most despised Zen'in clan member piques my curiosity, and I am eager to delve into his backstory and motivations.
While I appreciate the complex character dynamics and moral ambiguity present in Jujutsu Kaisen, I must admit that Naoya's personality traits, as described in the article, rub me the wrong way. His disdainful treatment of Maki and Mai, coupled with his murderous intentions towards Megumi and Yuji, makes him a truly unlikable character. However, I believe that his introduction will add a new layer of conflict and tension to the story, keeping viewers engaged and invested in the narrative.
