Jujutsu Kaisen season 2 episode 10: Geto choking himself, and other changes made in the anime
1. Geto choking his own body

Undeniably, one of the standout highlights in Jujutsu Kaisen season 2 episode 10 was the moment when Satoru Gojo was sealed, and the anime truly showcased the weight of this pivotal scene.
Among the various instances, one stood out prominently - the moment when Geto began choking his own body, leaving Gojo astounded. It was then that Gojo swiftly discerned that the person in front of him was not his old friend Suguru Geto from their youth. This iconic revelation, which showcased the imposter's method of assuming control over Geto's physical form, filled Satoru with both disgust and shock, leaving a lasting impression on anime-only viewers.
In Jujutsu Kaisen season 2 episode 10, the manga depicted the situation where Suguru's body begins to reject its new owner and actively attempts to eliminate him. However, the episode goes beyond this by illustrating the intense pressure applied by Geto's body as it chokes its own neck. This effectively highlights its determination to defeat the imposter and underscores the profound connection between Geto and Gojo, evident in Geto's responsive reaction to Gojo's words.
2. Adding a few new angles here and there

The fact is that this episode didn't see many significant changes from its manga counterpart. This aligns with MAPPA's approach to Jujutsu Kaisen, as they aim to stay true to Gege Akutami's original vision, which is evident in episodes like this one.
One possible distinction between the anime and the manga is that the former attempts to present certain panels from the latter in a unique way.
In the anime, there is a notable scene where Yuji Itadori, Mei Mei, and Ui Ui assume a battle stance against the Curses. This moment serves as a reference to a particular panel in the manga, although in the anime, it is depicted from a frontal perspective. This is just one example of how the anime closely follows the manga, with only minor differences overall.
Some dialogues, such as the ones between Pseudo-Geto's Curses, are extended a bit but nothing meaningful is added in that particular scene.
