Sukuna, the formidable King of Curses, has returned to the forefront of the series, much to the delight and dismay of viewers. This shocking turn of events unfolds following a calculated move by Jogo and the Hasaba twins, thrusting an overwhelming number of Sukuna’s fingers upon Yuji, thereby stripping him of his autonomy and awakening the demonic might of Sukuna.
A Temporary Eclipse: The Duration of Darkness
Contrary to the fears of many, Sukuna’s reign over Yuji‘s body is not without end. In the entangled timelines of the Jujutsu world, it begins at precisely 10:51 pm, taking the narrative on a whirlwind that spans a mere 23 minutes. By 11:14 pm, a surprising twist sees Sukuna relinquishing his grip, allowing Yuji to re-emerge, though under circumstances that raise as many questions as they answer..
The Fine Line Between Possession and Return
Marking the moments of possession, and more critically, the return, is a delicate task. The precise narrative duration has been faithfully chronicled, yet the translation into episodes remains shrouded in the creative decisions of MAPPA. If their adaptation pace holds true, we may expect Yuji’s consciousness to resurface by the 18th episode. However, artistic licenses and the allure of original scenes could extend this wait, potentially teasing out the suspense until the 19th episode or beyond.

A Month of Anticipation
Given MAPPA’s historic pacing, the calculation is simple yet fraught with the unpredictable nature of artistic creation. Spanning chapters 112 to 120, Yuji‘s absence is a finite stretch in the manga, but its anime counterpart could extend the hiatus, building anticipation and adding layers to the narrative we’ve come to adore.
Final Thoughts
As the battle within and without rages on, the countdown has begun. Whether Yuji’s return will play out as a moment of triumph or a nuanced blend of character development remains to be seen. One thing, however, is certain: the world of Jujutsu Kaisen has ensnared us with its intricate storytelling and deep characters, ensuring that every episode is a mosaic of action, strategy, and the unyielding spirit of its protagonist.
Fans, hold fast, for the return of Yuji Itadori to the forefront of the fray in Jujutsu Kaisen season 2 is imminent. The question is not if, but when, and the answer is a tale woven in time by the skilled storytellers of MAPPA Studios.
