Jujutsu Kaisen: The Best Point to Continue the Manga after Season 2 Finale

As season 2 of Jujutsu Kaisen reaches its thrilling conclusion after the Shibuya arc, fans are eagerly anticipating the return of their favorite sorcerers in the upcoming season of the anime, recently announced by MAPPA.

But for those who don't want to wait two or three more years to see what happens next after the Shibuya Incident, the desire to know the aftermath may drive them to explore the source material. This article aims to direct you to where to pick up the story in the Jujutsu Kaisen manga from where it left off in the finale of season 2 of the anime.

Where to pick up the manga after Jujutsu Kaisen season 2?

For those who love the Jujutsu Kaisen series, they can dive into the manga from chapter 138, 'The Zen'in Clan.' This chapter delves into the notorious clan and the process of selecting a new clan head after the passing of Naobito Zenin in the Shibuya arc.

Fans can rest assured that the season 2 finale of the anime only covered a few scenes from chapters 138 and 139 of the manga. This means that there's no need to be concerned about missing out on those chapters, as the adapted scenes were likely included to offer more closure to the characters.

Gege Akutami, the mangaka behind Jujutsu Kaisen, wrapped up the Shibuya Incident arc in chapter 137, bringing back the popular character Yuta Okkotsu.

Chapter 143 introduced the Culling Game, with Megumi Fushiguro revealing that Kenjaku had orchestrated the deadly competition for Jujutsu sorcerers. The chapter also unveiled a set of rules for the game, offering readers a preview of what lay ahead.

What to expect from the Culling Game arc?

The third season of the Jujutsu Kaisen anime is anticipated to cover the manga from chapter 138 onwards. Although an official release date for the upcoming season has not been confirmed, fans can anticipate that it will heighten the tension for the Jujutsu society as the remaining sorcerers engage in a dangerous game to rescue Satoru Gojo, who was captured by Kenjaku in the Shibuya arc.

Jujutsu Kaisen season 3 is poised to revolutionize the series, as it is gearing up to cover the much-anticipated Culling Game arc from the manga.

The Culling Game is a deadly battle royale between Jujutsu sorcerers, past and present, orchestrated by the ancient sorcerer Kenjaku. In the season 2 finale of Jujutsu Kaisen anime, Kenjaku used Mahito's Idle Transfiguration to awaken all the non-sorcerers he had previously marked.

In the manga, it was revealed that Kenjaku had been making deals with numerous sorcerers from over a millennium ago, offering them a chance at a new life in exchange for participating in a deadly game. His main goal in orchestrating the Culling Game, where every Jujutsu sorcerer faces off to the death, was to deepen his understanding of Cursed Energy and recreate the chaos of the Heian Era of Jujutsu sorcery.

The Culling Game arc of the series showcases intense battles between the sorcerers, with the standout fights of Yuta Okkotsu and Kinji Hakari being the highlights of the arc. Fans can anticipate an amazing adaptation of Gege Akutami's work in the upcoming season, featuring some of the best fights of the entire series and the anticipated return of Satoru Gojo.
