The conclusion of the Shibuya Incident Arc marks a significant turning point in Jujutsu Kaisen, signaling the commencement of the next phase through a newly established narrative bridge. Despite the comparative lack of action in the final episode of Season 2, the depth of its storytelling and plot intricacies far outweighs the subdued pace.
The orchestrated plan by Pseudo-Geto, serving as the catalyst for the Shibuya Incident, unfolds dramatically. His motive, the very essence of unleashing this catastrophic event, becomes vividly apparent. Understanding this plan becomes pivotal as it sets in motion a chain of events destined to impact the world of Jujutsu significantly. The ramifications extend to the characters involved, none more conspicuous than the predicament of Yuta Okkotsu, now designated as Yuji Itadori’s executioner, a revelation bound to evoke conflicting emotions among devoted fans.
The mastermind behind this chaos, operating within Suguru Geto’s body, is revealed as the same entity that once controlled Noritoshi Kamo, conducting macabre experiments that birthed the Death Paintings. This ancient entity, surpassing even Noritoshi Kamo in age, has conducted a series of experiments involving cursed energy and objects, culminating in the absorption of an evolved Mahito. Through a meticulous combination of this enhanced curse and the Supreme Art Uzumaki, a long-term plan is set in motion.

The design necessitates two specific types of non-sorcerers – one akin to Yuji, consuming a cursed object, and another resembling the late Junpei Yoshino, capable of perceiving curses but inherently non-sorcerers. By altering their abilities, the scheme aims to expand the reach of jujutsu and resurrect ancient sorcerers within unsuspecting hosts. Concurrently, a horde of cursed spirits is unleashed on Tokyo’s streets, sowing chaos. The ultimate goal? To revive a golden age of sorcery and instigate a conflict that will deepen everyone’s comprehension of jujutsu.
The return of Yuta Okkotsu, a special-grade sorcerer, from Africa is greeted with mixed feelings, especially upon learning his ostensible mission – to execute Yuji Itadori. Despite his proclaimed reasons tied to the plight of his friend Toge Inumaki and the disastrous consequences of Sukuna’s actions, questions linger about Yuta’s true intentions towards Yuji.
Additionally, the enduring presence of Rika, despite the events of Jujutsu Kaisen 0, poses another unresolved mystery. The reasons behind her continued existence remain a puzzle awaiting revelation.
The aftermath of the Shibuya Incident sparks contentious decisions, particularly the decision to execute Yuji. While some justifications exist for holding him accountable, other decisions, such as implicating Gojo and sentencing Masamichi Yaga to death, appear irrational. This seemingly serves as an opportunity for the higher-ups to exert control over Gojo, whom they despise but cannot confront directly.
The episode’s conclusion, with Yuji standing alone, depicts a resolute figure amidst isolation, hinting at deeper layers of the unfolding narrative.
As the second season concludes, it leaves fans with a myriad of answered questions while seeding new mysteries and complexities. These unresolved threads pave the way for anticipation and eagerness for the forthcoming Season 3, where these enigmas might find resolution.
