Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2: Gojo's Unexpected Encounter with Sukuna

The second season of Jujutsu Kaisen has recently concluded, leaving fans eagerly anticipating the upcoming third season after an announcement from MAPPA Studios. Without a confirmed release date, fans have been revisiting the action-packed events of the eventful second season.

The standout character of the season was undeniably Ryomen Sukuna, whose destructive battles against Jogo and Mahoraga left the city in ruins. Many fans believe that Sukuna overshadowed Gojo in this season, albeit in an unexpected way.

Fans name Sukuna as the show-stealer of Jujutsu Kaisen season 2

The highly anticipated season 2 of Jujutsu Kaisen finally brought to life the intense and pivotal Shibuya Incident Arc. This arc marked a crucial shift in the storyline, with the sealing of Satoru Gojo in the Prison Realm leading to the terrifying Cursed Spirits wreaking havoc and causing chaos in Shibuya.

The Shibuya Massacre, taking place on October 31, is primarily attributed to Ryomen Sukuna. His intense conflicts with the Cursed Spirit, Jogo, and the Divine General, Mahoraga, resulted in the deaths of numerous bystanders caught in the chaos of their battles.

The epic battle between Mahoraga and Sukuna, while marred by incomplete animation, is hailed as one of the greatest fights in Jujutsu Kaisen. The sheer devastation unleashed by these two forces of nature decimated Shibuya and resulted in unprecedented casualties. Fans were both mesmerized and horrified by the spectacle, amplified by the intense background music and dynamic animation style.

Both of Sukuna's showdowns happened in back-to-back episodes. Although the animation during the fights may not have been as polished as in the previous season, it did not diminish the sheer intensity and epic nature of the battles.

The inconsistent and dynamic animation quality has even been compared to that of Mob Psycho 100, which is a high compliment. Additionally, some fans have hailed Sukuna's OST/theme music as one of the best soundtracks of Jujutsu Kaisen season 2, particularly in both of his fights.

Will Sukuna appear in Jujutsu Kaisen season 3?

Undoubtedly the highlight of the Shibuya Incident Arc, Sukuna made a sheer impact on the latest season of the series with his captivating theme music and brutal display of power as The King of Curses.

Sukuna's ferocious demonstration of strength in his battle against Mahoraga resulted in the complete devastation of Shibuya. When Yuji Itadori regained control of his body, he was overwhelmed with anguish over the destruction he had unwittingly caused. He shouldered the blame for the loss of lives and damage inflicted on the city, while Sukuna reveled in his despair.

After disappearing from the Jujutsu Kaisen manga for a long stretch, Sukuna makes a dramatic return in chapter 199, revealing himself as "the Fallen." With the anime only adapting the manga up to chapter 137 in its season 2 finale, fans can anticipate Sukuna's appearance in the latter half of the highly anticipated third season.

Editor's P/S

As a Gen Z fan of Jujutsu Kaisen, I was thrilled to see Sukuna take center stage in season 2. His battles against Jogo and Mahoraga were some of the most intense and visually stunning fight scenes I've ever seen in an anime. Sukuna's overwhelming power and destructive nature were truly captivating, and I couldn't help but feel a sense of awe and excitement as I watched him unleash his abilities.

However, I also felt a sense of unease and dread as I witnessed the devastation caused by Sukuna's battles. The Shibuya Massacre resulted in the deaths of countless innocent people, and the destruction of the city was truly heartbreaking. It was clear that Sukuna was a force of chaos and destruction, and I couldn't help but wonder what the future held for him and the world of Jujutsu Kaisen.
