Forget the regular suspects in Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2! A new character is bursting onto the scene, and he’s got an emotional backstory to tug at your heartstrings. Oh, and did we mention he’s Yuji Itadori’s half-brother? Let’s dig into this gripping tale of siblings, secrets, and blood manipulation (quite literally).
The Trailer That Broke the Internet
The anime world had a seismic shift when Jujutsu Kaisen dropped the trailer for the second part of its new season. The Shibuya Incident arc, kicking off from Episode 8, promises to be a storytelling bonanza with intense action, mind-boggling twists, and character reveals that will have fans reaching for the rewind button. But the man of the hour was none other than Choso, a character known for his enigmatic aura and a pivotal role in the unfolding drama.
“Episode 8 is the point where the Shibuya Incident arc takes place in the series. This arc is a major turning point in the story,” states the buzz around the show. And if you thought Gojo owned the anime so far, get ready for a seismic shift in fan loyalties.
“Who is Choso?”—Unlocking the Pandora’s Box
Choso, previously known as a Cursed Spirit named Death Painting Womb, doesn’t just step into the spotlight. He practically steals it. Joining the narrative as Yuji Itadori’s half-brother, Choso adds an intricate layer to the story’s fabric that you didn’t know you needed but won’t be able to look away from.
“This shocking twist adds a new layer of complexity to the storyline, and the anime adaptation is set to delve into this revelation,” says Anushka Solanki, an anime critic who has been closely following the show.
Spoiler Alert: Manga Insights Ahead!
If you’ve been following the manga, then you already know that Choso initially surfaced with his brothers Eso and Kechizu as vengeful spirits. With the tragic loss of his brothers fueling his thirst for revenge against Yuji, the Shibuya arc serves a double plot twist. Choso isn’t just anyone; he’s family.
