Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 revealed a July 2023 premiere date. Studio MAPPA is animating the series. A short video featuring designs for the trailer was also unveiled:
The information was announced during a Jump Festa ’23 panel, attended by the voice cast. Takahiro Sakurai canceled his appearance, but Junya Enoki, Nobunaga Shimazaki, and Yuichi Nakamura attended. The four voice Geto, Yuji, Mahito, and Gojo, respectively. Gege Akutami’s message was also shared – the author said that the story should come to a close within a year or so, but did not clarify if they meant the manga or the current arc.
Character designs for the second seasons are also available:
As announced previously, the second season of Jujutsu Kaisen will run for two consecutive cours, which will include the Hidden Inventory/Premature Death and Shibuya Incident arcs. Studio MAPPA animated the first season of the TV anime and the Jujutsu Kaisen 0 movie. The events in the movie take place before the main series. The Shibuya Incident arc focuses on Satoru Gojo and his relationship with Geto.
Jujutsu Kaisen is based on a manga by Gege Akutami that is currently being serialized in Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump magazine. The manga launched on March 5, 2018, and has since become one of the most popular shonen titles of today. Viz Media is publishing it in English.
The plot of Jujutsu Kaisen follows Yuji Itadori who accidentally becomes a vessel of one of the most dangerous curses ever – Sukuna. Soon he finds out that there are people who fight curses and that they want to kill him to minimize the danger to society. However, he meets Satoru Gojo, one of the most powerful exorcists of modern times. Gojo offers him a way out by letting him study at Tokyo Metropolitan Curse Technical College, where he’ll learn how to control his (and Sukuna’s) powers and be of use to exorcists, known as jujutsu sorcerers. But, something far more sinister is brewing and Yuji’s school days might be cut short…
