Along with Gojo’s Past Arc, the season will include the Shibuya Arc. Shibuya Arc covers the events that take place after the end of Jujutsu Kaisen Season 1. The second season of Jujutsu Kaisen will air on Crunchyroll. The first season and movie are already on the platform.

The trailer for the second season of Jujutsu Kaisen was out earlier this year. It was widely praised for the animation of the iconic character, Fushiguro Toji, and a glimpse of his anticipated fight with Gojo Satoru.

Jujutsu Kaisen is the story of a young ordinary boy, Yuji Itadori, with extraordinary physical abilities. One day, he chances upon Sukuna’s finger, a cursed object. Ryomen Sukuna was once the strongest Jujutsu sorcerer, widely known as the “King of Curses”. Itadori sees a classmate being attacked by a curse and swallows the finger in hopes of gaining enough power to save the classmate.

Since then, he and Sukuna share one body. Itadori joins Tokyo Jujutsu High School to learn how to exorcise curses. He forms a trio with his two other classmate, Fushiguro Megumi and Kugisaki Nobara. The three train together to eventually defeat Ryoumen Sukuna.

The anime is based on the manga Jujutsu Kaisen which was written and illustrated by mangaka Gege Akutami. The manga is ongoing and updates weekly on Sunday.
