Fans may recall him from movie Jujutsu Kaisen 0 where he defeated Geto; season 2 will follow his story further along this path.
Notable cast members include Nobara Kugisaki in her role of Megumi, Toshiyuki Abe as Toji Fushiguro and Anna Nagase as Yuurei Deco. Shouta Goshozono who worked on Chainsaw Man as both writer and director will helm its second season.
Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 will debut in the UK on Thursday 12th October 2023 and can be watched every Thursday on Crunchyroll.

This year’s season will consist of two cours; the first will cover Gojo’s past while also featuring the Shibuya Incident storyline from chapters 79 to 136 in the manga. This gives fans more opportunities to get to know Gojo better as well as his complex relationship with Suguru Geto.
On March 24th, a teaser trailer for JJK: Season Two was unveiled and provided viewers with a glimpse at young Gojo as well as thrilling action sequences and Tatsuya Kitani’s “Ao no Sumika.” It also showcased their new opening theme song by Tatsuya Kitani entitled “Ao no Sumika.” This clip has piqued fans’ interest and they eagerly anticipate its full anime release later this year; especially those still reeling from its devastating ending during season 1. Availability will include both broadcast television in Japan as well streaming sites such as Crunchyroll.
Once again, after an extended hiatus, the series is back and it looks set to take some dramatic twists. The season’s first cour adapts the Hidden Inventory and Premature Death arcs which show Geto going from being one of anime’s top characters to an unforgivable villain. Furthermore, its second cour will adapt the Shibuya Incident which many fans have been waiting to witness and it should shed more light on just why exactly Geto turned evil.
Shouta Goshozono, who worked on both Chainsaw Man’s storyboard and direction, is back for Jujutsu Kaisen’s second season. Broadcasted as two consecutive cour, its main cast should remain unchanged: Junya Enoki will reprise her role as Yuji Itadori (younger version), while Yuichi Nakamura who voices Satoru Gojo in manga will reprise theirs; Takahiro Sakurai who voiced Arataka Reigen in Mob Psycho 100 will reprise his voice to provide Suguru Geto voiced.
