The most recent episode of the second season of Jujutsu Kaisen became a trend after presenting a spectacular animation work by the studios MAPPA. As we had previously mentioned, This second season is currently adapting the Shibuya Incident Arcone of the most popular story arcs of the original manga and recent shonen in particular.
In this most recent episode, fans were finally able to witness the lively combat between Yuji Itadori against Choso. After separating from Megumi near Shibuya Tower, Yuji runs down the highway towards Shibuya Station. While running across a bridge, Yuji notices that some transfigured humans are attacking some civilians.
There are a large number of attackers and Yuji does not have enough time left to save all the innocent civilians. He is very close to Shibuya Station and doesn’t know what to do. Suddenly, he hears a very familiar vocabulary that gives him some hope. Yuji notices Toge Inumaki and jumps down, deciding that it is best to leave it to his senpai.
At 10:10 p.m., Yuji enters Shibuya Station. Unknown to him, Choso is waiting for him inside ready to avenge his brothers. The sorcerer student runs inside and is surprised to see that the building is basically abandoned. He believed that there was supposed to be a large group of people trapped at the station and wonders if he is on the right path.
Yuji stops after going down some stairs and comes face to face with Choso. Both are upset by the presence of the other, but Choso is the first to act. He recognizes Yuji and is instantly enraged at the thought of his two brothers’ deaths.
And it was clear that the comments from Jujutsu Kaisen fans were not going to wait:
