Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 Synopsis

The year is 2006, and the halls of the Tokyo Prefectural Jujutsu Institute echo with endless discussions and intense debates between two inseparable best friends. With unshakable confidence, Satoru Gojou and Suguru Getou believe there is no challenge too great for young, powerful special-level sorcerers like themselves. They have been tasked with safely delivering a sensible girl named Riko Amanai to the entity whose existence is the very essence of the jujutsu world. However, the mission plunges them into an exhausting whirlwind of moral conflicts that threatens to destroy the already tenuous friendship between sorcerers and ordinary humans.

Twelve years later, students and sorcerers are the first line of defense against the growing number of high-level curses born from humans' negative emotions. As the entities grow in power, so do their self-awareness and ambition. The curses unite with the common goal of eradicating humans and creating a world of cursed energy users, led by an ancient and dangerous cursed spirit. To rid themselves of their greatest obstacle—the strongest sorcerer, Gojou—they orchestrate an attack on Shibuya Station on Halloween. Divided into teams, the sorcerers enter combat, ready to risk everything to protect the innocent and their own kind.
