In Jujutsu Kaisen season 2 episode 10, titled Pandemonium, the opening sequence is a chaotic onslaught of information. It is revealed that Mahito has killed Mechamaru and scattered his body parts across Shibuya as a precautionary measure. Yuji is informed by Mechamaru that Gojo has been sealed.
Meanwhile, Gojo confronts Geto and asks him a critical question: How long will he allow himself to be controlled by Kenjaku? Geto's left hand retaliates, attempting to attack Kenjaku, but is gradually overpowered. As the prison realm closes in, Gojo witnesses Kenjaku taking on Geto's appearance, accompanied by a disturbing smile.

Mechamaru was last seen dying against Mahito in Jujutsu Kaisen season 2 episode 7, also known as Evening Festival. However, the fact that he scattered smaller fragments of himself turned out to be advantageous for the protagonists. In Jujutsu Kaisen season 2 episode 10, Mechamaru plays a crucial role by informing Yuji Itadori about Gojo's sealing and providing vital intelligence on the whereabouts of the villains.
Due to being unable to assist Gojo and the curse users advancing towards their designated positions, Yuji, Mei Mei, and Ui Ui make the decision to divide their efforts: Mei Mei and Ui Ui will handle the curses, while Yuji takes on the responsibility of notifying everyone else. With communication cut off, Yuji is left with no choice but to run and warn everyone about Gojo's sealing, coordinating their convergence at the location where Gojo was sealed.
Viewers were then delighted by an extraordinary spectacle as Yuji swiftly dashed towards the Curtain in a valiant attempt to establish communication with anyone he could find, bravely facing off against grotesque transfigured humans who wreaked havoc upon innocent individuals en route. His resounding cries for Nanami echoed loudly across the district, as he had learned beforehand that Nanami's team resided closest to Mei Mei.

Following Gojo's sealing, significant events unfolded for the villains involved. Firstly, Gojo's words managed to reach Geto's body, causing it to reject Kenjaku's influence and attempting to choke him. Although Kenjaku dismissed it with laughter, noting it as a first occurrence since Gojo's sealing.
Secondly, the Prison Realm slipped out of Kenjaku's grasp, plummeting into the ground. As all the cursed beings watched, Kenjaku revealed a vital detail: the Prison Realm was still in the process of assimilating Gojo's information. When Mahito spotted Mechamaru observing them, he swiftly destroyed the camera, yet the message had already been conveyed.

This posed a predicament, as it now meant that all the jujutsu sorcerers would be drawn to their location. Meanwhile, Gojo, positioned within the prison realm, remains calm as time remains frozen. Reflecting on his students, he confidently assures himself that everything will ultimately resolve, placing his trust in their abilities.

Despite the villains appearing to have achieved their objectives and having the chance to disappear into obscurity, the curses engaged in heated discussions regarding their next course of action. Specifically, their plans revolved around Yuji Itadori and Sukuna.
Choso sought revenge by plotting to kill both Yuji and Nobara for the events that transpired during the Death Painting Arc. Mahito was eager to eliminate Yuji as well. On the other hand, Jogo desired to release Sukuna and allow the cursed spirits to dominate the world. Mahito proposed a challenge: if either Choso or Mahito found Yuji, they would have the right to end his life. If Choso were the one to find him, he could forcefully feed him Sukuna's fingers and resurrect the king of curses.
Three significant developments occurred for the villains (Image via Our Website).
There were two additional noteworthy occurrences on the side of the antagonists: Haruta Shigemo appearing alongside Uraume to disrupt all communication channels used by the jujutsu sorcerers. Their first move involved relentlessly stabbing Kiyotaka Ijichi, rendering him unable to relay any messages. Additionally, Mimiko and Nanako insisted on reclaiming Geto's body. However, when Kenjaku declined their request, the duo withdrew while menacingly warning him of the regret he would face as a result of his decision.

Meanwhile, the jujutsu sorcerers were confronted with a monumental dilemma. If Gojo remained sealed and the individuals responsible for sealing him managed to escape, the consequences would be catastrophic. Firstly, Gojo is a lone member of his clan and stands at the pinnacle of the jujutsu sorcerer hierarchy. If he were to be lost, all those whom he had saved would be in peril, with the best-case scenario being serious trouble and the worst-case scenario being death, including Yuji.
The second ramification is that all the curses and individuals utilizing curses would begin to emerge from the shadows, unleashing chaos upon humanity. Megumi expressed that such an event would signify the ultimate demise of humanity in Japan. In light of this, the different jujutsu sorcerer teams made their way towards Shibuya station, converging on the Curtain.

Idatori's mission underwent an update as they joined forces with Megumi and Ino in order to track down the origin of the Curtains that are preventing jujutsu sorcerers from entering, and to eliminate it. Jujutsu Kaisen season 2 episode 10 concluded with the trio making the move themselves. In a post-credits scene, a group of curse users were seen on top of the Shibuya Cerulean Tower, jubilant over Gojo's incapacitation.
