Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 Spoilers
The most recent key graphic revealed during the event has a fish-eye experience similar to the initial teaser. The image depicts the inside of a train, with Satoru Gojo dressed as a professor and the 5 years behind him. With the teasers, Studio MAPPA creates a fascinating symbolic message. When the teasers are combined, they reveal that Jujutsu Kaisen Second season will animate the arcs chronologically and show the prior meet the current.
The first season will adapt the Gojo’s Past arc, which highlights Gojo and Geto’s time as students in Tokyo Jujutsu High. The Shibuya Incident arc will almost probably be adapted in the anime’s second season, based on the new trailer and the primary cast’s conversation during the occasion. It is unclear whether Studio MAPPA plans to recreate the complete Shibuya Incident narrative in the second season.
The primary images for Jujutsu Kaisen season 2 feature various Easter eggs that manga aficionados will notice. Studio MAPPA includes subtle references in the anime’s first Season openers and finishes, a lot of which will become quite evident once the far Shibuya Event arc is produced.
Indeed the backdrop and color palette of both teasers allude to the Second season concept of the past colliding with the current. Finally, the Geto of the past and the Gojo of the present appear to replicate each other’s positions and wave toward each other, a foreshadowing of events that are guaranteed to surprise fans and serve as one of the features of the second season of the Jujutsu Kaisen anime.
