The most awaited news for the Jujutsu Kaisen anime community has finally arrived this afternoon. After a long wait of one and a half years, it has been officially confirmed that the anime television series is finally returning with its new sequel, “Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2” in 2023.
On Saturday, TOHO Animation organised a thank-you stage event to commemorate the success of the theatrical release of the Jujutsu Kaisen movie. Last week, Jujutsu Kaisen 0 crossed 10 billion yen at the Japanese box office so the makers of the series planned a live event to show their gratitude.
Cast members of Jujutsu Kaisen 0 which includes Megumi Ogata (Yuta), Kana Hanazawa (Rika), Yuichi Nakamura (Gojo), and Takahiro Sakurai (Geto) were present on the stage to deliver the message to the fans. And, during the live event, it was made official that Jujutsu Kaisen will receive a sequel very soon.
Recently, Jujutsu Kaisen grabbed a bunch of awards in the Crunchyroll Anime Awards 2022 and went home with six awards in different categories including the “Best Girl Award” for Nobara Kugisaki. Moreover, it also won the “Anime of The Year Award” at Tokyo Anime Film Festival 2022.
Apart from it, Jujutsu Kaisen 0 release date for international theatres have also been decided and it’s coming to nearby theatres of US & Canada on March 18th. All the international release dates of the film are mentioned on the official website of Crunchyroll.
Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 Release Date
Jujutsu Kaisen Season will start broadcasting from 2023 and will not be long enough considering other side projects of Studio MAPPA. So, most likely the new season will have at least 10-11 episodes to entertain the audience which means ‘Shibuya Incident Arc’ will be covered entirely in single season.
The staff will most likely remain the same as it was in the first season. Same voice actors will join the cast except for a few new inclusions depending on the introduction of new characters. And, like the first season, MAPPA will be in charge of animation production despite the fact they’re a little busier with Vinland Saga Season 2 as well.
What To Expect From Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2?
Studio MAPPA gave a very smooth ending to the first season of Jujutsu Kaisen however, it was slightly different from the manga readers perspective but, overall it was a good finish. In the end, we got to see some really amazing fight scenes and the promotion of 1st and 2nd years as a first-grade sorcerer.
In general, the first season of Jujutsu Kaisen covered a total of 64 chapters from the manga finishing the anime at the Death Painting Arc. So, Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 will continue from the manga and cover “Gojo’s Past Arc”. The arc will display the bond between Gojo & Geto and a more in-depth analysis of Geto’s personality as well.
Moreover, in this arc fans will be introduced to a new & interesting character, Toji Fushigoro. He is Megumi’s dad and has an important role in this arc. And, don’t forget the most dramatic fight of the entire series, Toji versus Gojo is going to be animated in Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2. The arc is small but packed with action & dark mysteries.
