Where does Jujutsu Kaisen season 2 start in the manga?
The anime has been adapted till chapter 63 of the manga. Whatever comes after will be adapted into Jujutsu Kaisen season 2. The manga is now at chapter 218 and is yet to complete the culling game.
Chapter 64 starts with the past. To be specific, the past of Gojo Staorou. Mei Mei and Utahime Iori seek a cursed spirit in a building. The year is 2006, and Gojo is still in the Jujutsu School. The two young girls discover that the curse that is in the building has the ability to distort the building. They confuse the spirit by splitting up and trying to kill it. Young Gojo appears at the scene and destroys the building from the outside. Mei Mei survives the collapse, but Utahime injures herself. She blames Gojo for showing up abruptly and ruining their work.
During the confrontation, A huge curse manifests behind Utahime. Suguru Geto arrives just in time and kills the spirit. Suguru asks Gojo not to belittle anyone not equal to him. Gojo’s past is shown until chapter 80. This also covers the past of Toji Zenin. Megumi’s father, Toji. What happens to him and young Megumi is also shown. Toji gets killed by Gojo, which leads to Megumi being sold to the Zenin clan after he grows up.
Shibuya arc in Jujutsu Kaisen season 2
Jujutsu Kaisen 0 covered the past before Yuji came into the school. Suguru Geto’s death at the hands of Rika-chan. Kenjaku uses this opportunity to use Geto’s body and possess it. After chapter 80, we see the present and the most infamous Shibuya incident happen. During this incident, many of our main leads see the worst part of the cursed world and grow. Maki gets caught in a fire and gets scars all over her body.
Gojo gets imprisoned inside a box, and releasing him would be considered an offense. Megumi ends up on the brink of death after using the Moharaga. Sukuna saves him for his use.
Maki Zenin kills her whole Clan when her father abuses both sisters. Mai Zenin uses her last cursed energy to make Maki a sword which she uses to massacre the whole clan. Mai ends up losing her life after that. Twins are considered to be sacred in the world of sorcery. They are incomplete without each other; thus, Mai sacrifices herself to save Maki and give her powers to Maki. Maki, after the incident, can see caused spirits without the help of her glasses.
Jujutsu Kaisen season 2 will have a lot to cover. Considering the popularity of the anime, MAPPA may release a few more seasons.
The culling game occurs after the Shibuya arc, and many fans hope to see the Moharaga animated in Jujutsu Kaisen season 2.
Fans can officially read the manga on manga plus and Viz media.
