The Two Arcs of Season 2 — Explained

Season 2 is split into two distinct arcs, and both are exceptional for completely different reasons.

Arc 1: Hidden Inventory Arc

Set in 2006, best friends Satoru Gojo and Suguru Getou are inseparable special-grade sorcerers whose confidence, abilities, and morals are tested when they are tasked with delivering a girl named Riko Amanai to complete a ritual that protects humanity from the jujutsu world. This arc is essentially the origin story of the most powerful sorcerer alive — a younger, more vulnerable Gojo before he became the untouchable legend fans know. Emotional, stylish, and beautifully animated.

Arc 2: Shibuya Incident Arc

This is the one everyone talks about. Twelve years later, high-level curses — now self-aware and united — pursue a single goal: eradicating humanity and creating a world of cursed energy users. Their opening move is an orchestrated attack on Shibuya Station, forcing the sorcerers to defend innocent civilians in a battle of apocalyptic scale. whats-on-netflix

The Shibuya Incident is widely considered one of the most emotionally devastating arcs in modern anime. Expect jaw-dropping animation from MAPPA, impossible choices, and at least one scene that will leave you staring at your ceiling at 2 AM.

Netflix’s Growing Anime Ambitions

Outside of Asia, Crunchyroll holds the worldwide license to stream Jujutsu Kaisen, meaning Netflix has to wait a period after the anime streams on Crunchyroll before it can license it for its library. whats-on-netflix That delay is frustrating, but it also means Netflix subscribers get the full season in one clean drop — perfect for binge-watching.
