Jujutsu Kaisen season 2 episode 9 had a captivating focus on two enigmas: the Prison Realm and the subsequent endeavors to trap Satoru Gojo within this secluded dimension. The Prison Realm, a sentient barricade capable of confining anything or anyone within an inescapable and bounded universe, plays a pivotal role in the storyline. It steals the spotlight during the Shibuya Incident arc.

The Prison Realm, a forbidden item in the Jujutsu Universe, is believed to have originated from Buddhist monk Genshin. It poses a formidable danger to the characters in the series, particularly when it falls into the possession of enemies like Geto.
In its dormant state, the prison realm appears as a compact cube that can be comfortably held in one's hand. It is tightly secured by talismanic restraints. However, its true potency is revealed when the incantation "gate open" is spoken.
When the cube is activated, it undergoes a terrifying metamorphosis, contorting into a grotesque mound composed of flesh-like substance, bound together by fragments of its previous shape. Within its center resides an enormous eye, constantly dripping blood, held wide open by stitches, unyieldingly fixed upon its intended prey.
To effectively harness the prison realm, specific conditions must be met. The target must be confined within a four-meter radius for a varying duration, depending on the individual.
For someone of Satoru Gojo's immense power, this entails keeping him within that radius for one minute, although this minute need not coincide with real-time. Instead, it simply needs to elapse within Gojo's own mind. If the target manages to evade this range in time, the sealing process of the Prison Realm will fail to succeed.
Experience a haunting world where time stands still in the Prison Realm. Within its confines, individuals are trapped in a nightmarish landscape, surrounded by looming shadows of skeletons that enhance the anguish of their imprisonment.
The Jujutsu Kaisen manga later unveiled that the Prison Realm consists of two gates: the front gate and the back gate. The front gate is primarily utilized for sealing, while the back gate is vital for unsealing.
Accessing the Prison Realm necessitates possessing authority over the front gate, whereas unlocking it from the back entails employing a cursed technique capable of nullifying or canceling other cursed techniques. This became apparent when Gojo was ultimately freed using Angel's cursed technique, which nullified the effects of other cursed techniques.
