Explaining the aftermath of the Shibuya Incident arc in Jujutsu Kaisen
The impact of the Shibuya Incident arc on the Jujutsu Kaisen universe and its story cannot be overstated. What began as an attempt by Kenjaku and the Disaster Curses to seal Satoru Gojo and prevent his interference unexpectedly spiraled into a major incident. Many lives were lost, and the balance of power shifted significantly.
Satoru Gojo's sealing deprived the sorcerers of their most powerful asset, resulting in a more level playing field. Additionally, the Disaster Curse, Mahito, not only ended the lives of two important characters, Nobara Kugisaki and Nanami Kento, but also crippled Aoi Todo, a promising Jujutsu sorcerer, effectively ending his career.

, Yuji Itadori passed out and received several of Sukuna's fingers from another Disaster Curse, Jogo. This led to Sukuna taking control of the boy's body, resulting in the deaths of two of Suguru Geto's former allies, the killing of Jogo in battle, and eventually causing the deaths of thousands of people in Shibuya while turning the entire area into a warzone.
Suguru Geto was not the true leader of the Disaster Curses. Instead, a centuries-old sorcerer named Kenjaku took over his body and Cursed Technique. He absorbed Mahito to use his fully developed Idle Transfiguration ability to kick-start the Culling Games. With Gojo out of the picture and several sorcerers killed, Kenjaku now has the upper hand in the series.
Recent episodes of Jujutsu Kaisen feature Kenjaku and Yuji. Yuki Tsukumo, a Special Grade sorcerer, joined the Kyoto class to rescue Yuji and the remaining sorcerers. Additionally, the plot thickened as it was revealed that Choso has sided with Itadori after learning that they are brothers, a result of Kenjaku's experiments and manipulations.
In the final episode, Yuta Okkotsu made a significant return, making an impression on anime viewers who may have first encountered him in the Jujutsu Kaisen 0 movie. Assigned to the task of eliminating Yuji Itadori due to Sukuna's actions in Shibuya, Yuta's story will be a central focus in the upcoming third season of Jujutsu Kaisen.
The dynamic has shifted significantly since the announcement of the Culling Games arc in the anime. Several characters from both factions, including Nobara, Nanami, Naobito Zen'in, and the entirety of the Disaster Curses, have been defeated, with Todo surviving but unable to continue fighting.
Final thoughts
The release of Jujutsu Kaisen season 2 marked a significant milestone in the world of anime, solidifying the series as a current fan favorite. Following the intense events of the Shibuya Incident arc, fans who exclusively watch the anime are eagerly anticipating the next season.
Editor's P/S
As a Gen Z fan of Jujutsu Kaisen, I was thrilled and impressed by the Shibuya Incident arc in the second season. The intense consequences and the bad guys gaining the upper hand made for an unforgettable journey that left me on the edge of my seat. The impact of the arc on the series going forward is significant, and I can't wait to see how the events, causes, and effects unfold in the upcoming seasons.
The loss of powerful characters like Nobara Kugisaki and Nanami Kento, as well as the crippling of Aoi Todo, added a sense of tragedy and urgency to the story. The revelation that Suguru Geto was not the true leader of the Disaster Curses but rather a centuries-old sorcerer named Kenjaku added a layer of complexity and intrigue to the plot. The return of Yuta Okkotsu in the final episode further heightened my excitement for the upcoming third season.
