A brief recap of Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 Episode 8
Bilibili has obtained the broadcasting rights in China, while Ani-One Asia’s YouTube channel offers access to the episode for viewers in India and Thailand. Subscriptions are necessary on all these platforms to enjoy the season.
In Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 Episode 8, titled The Shibuya Incident, Team Mei Mei encounters a crucial situation in Shibuya. Gojo makes his way to the B5F level of Shibuya station on the Fukutoshin line, where Jogo, Hanami, and Choso lie in wait. Their plan is to impede Gojo's progress by trapping him with a second curtain on B5F, preventing any Jujutsu Sorcerers from entering or exiting.
Mei Mei, along with Ui Ui and Yuji, became aware of the existence of the Curtain and relocated to Meiji Jingumae station, the designated area for the Curtain's restrictions. Yuji effortlessly overcame a grasshopper curse (later referred to as Ko-Guy by Mahito), discovered Mahito's identity, and subsequently rendezvoused with Mei Mei.
What to expect in Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 Episode 9

MAPPA appears to be taking a fractured and non-linear approach to the core Shibuya arc's narration, possibly rearranging the chronology slightly. However, it is highly anticipated that Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 Episode 9 will revisit Shibuya and delve into the ongoing battle at the Fukutoshin line, featuring Mahito. Based on the preview, the episode is aptly named "Shibuya Incident Opening."
Yuji and Gojo are currently the main focus in the story until chapter 90, so the other characters should not be involved yet. However, there is a possibility that a character who was believed to be dead may make a comeback in the next episode. Based on the preview, it is likely that Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 Episode 9 will showcase one of the three most significant events in Shibuya and mark the beginning of the second phase of the storyline.
