Shueisha editor Ryota Ikeda revealed Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 is having the author Gege Atakumi involved in the production work to maintain the originality of the series.
MAPPA and Akutami-sensei are often in communication and make sure that if something goes out of line they can fix it. Akutami-sensei is involved in writing the scenarios and checking the scenes and doing the storyboards as well.
Manabu Otsuka, the CEO of Mappa, promised the fans some exciting experiences with Season 2 and scenes “that you’ve never seen before” by teasing the appearance of Toji Fushiguro.
What you just saw was a quiet and calm opening but when you go into the episode you will see comedy and action scenes.
Voice actor Junya Enoki expressed his enthusiasm for Season 2 and the story arcs that will be addressed in this season in a pre-recorded message to the fans.
Voice Actor Yuichi Nakamura also expressed his thoughts over Season 2, defining the main story as “super dark.”
during the afternoon Juju Fest show today, Youkyan (Gojo) described Jujutsu Kaisen season two after he watched the first couple of episodes: “the mood is really heavy haha…the OP and ED were really refreshing in comparison when I watched them, but the main story is super dark.”

Youkyan on JJK S2: “but you can tell right off the bat that the production staff are very precise in how they want to portray this story. I watched the first two episodes so much, I nearly forgot I was even in it.”
