Yuta Okkotsu's return in Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 finale sets fans into a frenzy

The season 2 finale of Jujutsu Kaisen has finally aired, giving fans plenty of reasons to celebrate. The final episode covered the Shibuya Incident arc and ended on a cliffhanger, leaving Yuji Itadori in a precarious situation with Cursed Spirits. However, the standout moment was Yuta Okkotsu's transformation from a shy and timid character to a confident Jujutsu sorcerer with a strong sense of empathy, as he rescued a small child from a Cursed Spirit.

Jujutsu Kaisen: Yuta Okkotsu has the entire fanbase hyped beyond measure

The arrival of the new character had the entire fanbase buzzing, and internet users flocked to platforms like X (formerly known as Twitter) and Reddit to express their thoughts on the matter. Let's dive into some of the responses that Jujutsu Kaisen enthusiasts posted on X.

Yuta's arrival in the season 2 finale of Jujutsu Kaisen was absolutely flawless. Just as the young child was on the verge of being devoured, Yuta swooped in and rescued her from the Cursed Spirit. Not only did he make sure the child wasn't frightened of him, but he also flashed a reassuring smile to help her feel at ease.

The moment when he stayed with the child as Rika killed the Cursed Spirit instantly became a hot topic among the fanbase, sparking enthusiastic reactions that shed light on Yuta Okkotsu's immense popularity.

The internet buzzed with "let him cook" comments, indicating that Yuta was the standout in this episode. Despite his limited screen time in the season 2 finale, he still managed to steal the spotlight, showcasing the power of minimalism in creating powerful scenes from an animator's perspective.

Fans have also bestowed a new title upon Yuta Okkotsu. The comments section was inundated with the term "King" in response to his actions in the episode. In the Jujutsu Kaisen 0 movie, Yuta delivered an impressive performance in the role of the protagonist. He has successfully lived up to the high expectations of fans and once again captured the hearts of fans everywhere.

There were more intriguing comments in this post, with fans seemingly urging Gege Akutami, the creator, that they did not like Yuta Okkotsu. At first glance, this may be perplexing, but fans are expressing their frustration because Akutami appears to be eliminating beloved characters. It's evident that they are hoping Yuta Okkotsu won't meet the same fate in the Jujutsu Kaisen series.

Final Thoughts

Apart from the debut, Yuta’s part in the third season will be of great significance. This is another reason why fans were thrilled to witness the comeback of their beloved character on screen. The authorities have tasked him with eliminating Yuji Itadori right away, and it will be intriguing to see how the situation unfolds.

Editor's P/S

As a Gen Z netizen, I am thrilled about Yuta Okkotsu's return in the Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 finale. His transformation from a shy and timid character to a confident Jujutsu sorcerer with a strong sense of empathy is truly inspiring. The moment when he rescued the small child from the Cursed Spirit and flashed a reassuring smile to help her feel at ease was particularly touching. It's clear that Yuta has come a long way since his introduction in the Jujutsu Kaisen 0 movie, and I can't wait to see more of him in the upcoming season.

However, I share the concerns of other fans regarding Gege Akutami's tendency to eliminate beloved characters. The fact that Yuta has been tasked with eliminating Yuji Itadori right away has me worried about his fate in the series. I hope that Akutami will find a way to keep Yuta alive and continue to develop his character. Overall, I am excited about the future of Jujutsu Kaisen and can't wait to see what's in store for Yuta and the other characters in the upcoming season.
