Unveiling Sukuna's Return: Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 Premieres to Reintroduce the Formidable Villain
Sukuna's return in Jujutsu Kaisen season 2 episode reignites fan excitement as they witness the awe-inspiring power and captivating presence of this beloved character
In the latest episode of Jujutsu Kaisen season 2, fans were thrilled to see the highly anticipated return of the beloved character Ryomen Sukuna. However, his reappearance quickly reminded fans why he earned the title of the King of Curses. Throughout the season, Mimiko and Nanako attempted to have Sukuna manipulate Yuji by feeding him a single Sukuna finger. Astonishingly, Jogo took it a step further by feeding Yuji an additional ten fingers. As a result, with Itadori having ingested at least fifteen fingers, Sukuna regained control of his body and made his highly anticipated comeback to the anime.

Jujutsu Kaisen season 2 reminds fans what Sukuna is capable of
After Ryomen Sukuna's triumphant return, he made his presence known by commanding the bystanders to kneel before him. Employing a unique method, he employed "dismantle" at a specific height to ascertain their level of disrespect towards him. As Mimiko and Nanako humbly bowed their heads to the ground, Jogo, however, chose to kneel on only one knee, leading to the unfortunate consequences of losing a portion of his skull.
With this, Sukuna immediately showcased his power as he could kill all three of them with no moment to spare.
Afterwards, he chose to listen to Mimiko and Nanako's plea. Despite being the one to ask for their desires, he felt disrespected, perceiving it as them giving him orders. Consequently, he mercilessly beheaded Mimiko and ruthlessly dismembered Nanako into cubes, utilizing his Dismantle ability. To make matters worse, he decided to kill Mimiko first, disregarding Nanako's initial request.
This incident served as a sobering reminder to fans of Sukuna's inherently malevolent nature, evident in his illogical decision-making. While Mimiko and Nanako may have acted foolishly in attempting to aid Sukuna, they acknowledged his powerful presence when he took hold of Yuji Itadori. Overwhelmed by fear, they were unsure if even their breathing would offend the King of Curses.

Despite being humans, Mimiko and Nanako naturally felt scared. However, it was expected that a Cursed Spirit like Jogo would have better control over his emotions. Surprisingly, even he was taken aback by the terrifying aura emanating from the King of Curses.
Jujutsu Kaisen season 2 utilized these scenes effectively to showcase the extent of Sukuna's malevolence and establish him as the primary antagonist of the series. It was a strategic decision to portray this crucial aspect of his character at this particular juncture.

Given Sukuna's arrival and the plot's development, fans are eager to know what will unfold in the series. However, with Jujutsu Kaisen season 2 limited to 23 episodes, fans might turn to the manga once the season concludes. This is due to the shorter wait between seasons, causing fans to potentially switch to manga readership instead of waiting for future anime installations.
If fans do venture into the manga, they will discover the growing menace of Sukuna as the story progresses. Nevertheless, this could diminish fans' excitement for the anime, making it ideal for Sukuna's reappearance in the anime.
