news culture Jujutsu Kaisen: The release of Season 2 Signed MAPPA is officially clear!
Confirmed for some time, Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 returns to the spotlight today with a first release date. This direct sequel, still maintained by MAPPA, was intended to cover one of the best arcs of Gege Akutami’s manga: the Shibuya arc.
A full program for 2023
The year 2023 promises to be absolutely insane for fans of Japanese animation. The finale of Attack on Titan, the new season of Dr. Stone, Mashle Season 1, Hell’s Paradise, Vinland Saga… so many anime coming out until next year. But 2023 will also mark the return of one of the most important works of recent years: Jujutsu Kaisen.
After an excellent first season and a great movie covering chapter “0”, MAPPA is back on duty to offer us Season 2 which will cover the arc that is often considered the best in Gege Akutami’s manga, the Shibuya arc. Gojo’s past should be explored as well as the events that mark a real turning point in the manga. Until then, watch out for spoilers, better keep the fun going, especially since the wait will soon be over.
A first release date and important information
Tonight, TOHO Animation shared a new teaser that mainly focused on Gojo’s youth and key figures from his past. We should learn more about the relationship Itadori’s master had with Suguru, one of the manga’s main antagonists. The good news is that the Shibuya Incident will air right after this first round of Gojo-centric episodes. The Shibuya bow is divided into two courses. Finally, we also learn the first release date of this season 2. Jujutsu Kaisen returns next July. So a little more patience before you find one of the best shōnen of his generation.
