In the previous episode, Satoru Gojo engaged in a fierce battle against Jogo, Hanami, and Choso. Despite Gojo's superior abilities, the Curses cunningly hindered him by encircling him with non-sorcerers. Meanwhile, Itadori, Mei Mei, and Ui Ui embarked on a mission to locate and assist Gojo. During their journey, Itadori singlehandedly triumphed over a curse.

Jujutsu Kaisen season 2 episode 9 preview hints at Gojo unleashing his Unlimited Void
In the upcoming episode 9 of Jujutsu Kaisen season 2, titled The Shibuya Incident - Gate, Open, we can expect Satoru Gojo to unleash his Six Eyes. Despite the non-sorcerers' belief that Gojo wouldn't resort to his domain expansion because of the curses' protection, the preview reveals that he will indeed employ Unlimited Void.
As seen in the Jujutsu Kaisen season 2 episode 9 preview (Image via MAPPA), Choso, Jogo, and Hanami had a different objective in mind when they faced off against Gojo. Instead of aiming to defeat him, their goal was to stall him and buy time. This was because Geto had a plan to seal Gojo inside the Prison Realm, but this required some additional time. Therefore, Geto instructed the Curses to fight in a manner that would prolong the battle.
In the preview for episode 9 of Jujutsu Kaisen season 2, it is clear that Geto will intervene in the fight. This could potentially result in a reunion between Gojo and Geto, and we may also learn how Geto survived after Gojo seemingly killed him in the Jujutsu Kaisen 0 storyline.
Shown in the season 2 preview of Jujutsu Kaisen, Mahito is about to engage in a fierce battle. According to the preview, the Curse will fight alongside a multitude of enhanced humans. Considering Yuji Itadori's presence at Shibuya Station, it is highly likely that he will come face-to-face with the curse once again. This sets the stage for an exciting rematch between the two characters in the upcoming episode.
