Everything We Know About ‘Jujutsu Kaisen’ Season 2: Release Date, Trailer, More

After over two and a half years of waiting, Jujutsu Kaisen fans can rejoice now that the show’s highly-anticipated sophomore season is nearing its release date.

Based on Gege Akutami’s manga series of the same name, the supernatural dark fantasy anime premiered in 2020 to immediate acclaim and fanfare, and ever since the first season wrapped up in March 2021, viewers have been clamoring for more.

Jujutsu Kaisen takes place in a version of modern day Japan in which all living beings emanate Cursed Energy, an energy created unconsciously from the output of negative emotions. While ordinary people cannot control or see Cursed Energy and are often unable to perceive the malevolent Curses born from it, Jujutsu Sorcerers are the select few people who can.

Jujutsu Kaisen follows high school student Yuji Itadori (Junya Enoki) as he joins a secret organization of said Jujutsu Sorcerers in order to help kill “The King of Curses,” Ryomen Sukuna (Junichi Suwabe), of whom Yuji accidentally becomes the host. If any of this sounds complex or hard to follow, worry not, because between MAPPA’s exceptional animation and Akutami’s characters that are so full of depth and personality they practically jump off the screen, Jujutsu Kaisen is sure to have you hooked, entertained, and on the edge of your seat from the outset.

Do you have questions about Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2? Don’t worry, because we’re here to break it all down for you. Read on for everything you need to know about the new season, including the release date, where to watch, and more.

What Streaming Platforms Can I Watch Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 On?

Each episode of Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 will be available for streaming as they drop weekly on Crunchyroll and Funimation. All three platforms currently have Season 1 available for streaming now.

If the new episodes follow Season 1’s release schedule, then each episode of Season 2 is expected to be available on these three platforms on Thursdays beginning July 6 around 11:30 am E.T.

What is Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 About?

Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 will be divided into consecutive two-cour depicting the Hidden Inventory/Premature Death and Shibuya Incident arcs (which many manga readers believe to be the best in the series, so buckle up).

The first half of the season follows the manga’s Hidden Inventory/Premature Death arc, which is a series of flashbacks that take place in 2006, revolving around a high-school aged Satoru Gojo (Yūichi Nakamura) before he became Yuji and co’s teacher as well as the strongest sorcerer alive. Gojo and some of his friends (including plenty of familiar faces from Season 1) embark on a mission that will change their lives and the Jujutsu world forever.

The second half of the season will then cover the Shibuya Incident arc, which returns us to 2018, where we follow Yuji, Megumi Fushiguro (Yuma Uchida), Nobara Kugisaki (Asami Seto), and more as they face off against the deadly alliance between Cursed Spirits and Curse users forged by Mahito (Nobunaga Shimazaki) and Pseudo-Geto (Takahiro Sakurai) as the latter two villains attempt to do the seemingly impossible and incapacitate Satoru Gojo.

There’s no shortage of unforgettable content to come, so you’ve got to be sure to see it for yourselves as soon as each episode of Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 premieres beginning July 6.
