When is the next episode of Jujutsu Kaisen season 2? (Shibuya Incident Arc release date)

So far in Jujutsu Kaisen season 2, we’ve observed how and why Gojo Satoru became the strongest sorcerer in the world. Gojo had no choice but to become stronger after Toji Fushiguro exposed his weaknesses, nearly left him for dead, and, unfortunately, killed his new friend Riko Amanai. And although all these things shaped Gojo into the person he is today, none compare to the fact that his best friend, Geto Suguru, turned his back on the jujutsu society and became a monster on the run.

Gojo’s Past Arc was nothing short of a masterpiece from start to finish. But now you may be wondering if there’s more to come in the latest season of the anime series. Fortunately for you, we have the answer to your burning questions. Check it out below!

When does the second half of Jujustu Kaisen season 2 air?

Save the date! As per Games Radar, new episodes of Jujutsu Kaisen season 2 (not including the two recap episodes) will return on Thursday, Aug. 31, at 7:00 a.m. ET/10:00 a.m. PT on Crunchyroll. This second installment is known as the Shibuya Incident Arc, a story that follows directly after the events of the first season.

What is the Shibuya Incident Arc about?

In this Shibuya Incident Arc, cursed spirits Mahito and Pseudo-Geto set into motion the plan to take Gojo Satoru from the sorcerer world to weaken the society, leaving them without their knight in shining armor.

To get the upper hand, Mahito and Geto seek to seal Gojo in an unbreakable prison that no one, not even himself, will be able to unlock easily. But they’ll have to find a way to dull his senses, that way they can strike when he least expects it. Hence why, the two (and other curse users) set off multiple chaotic events at once that not only weaken Gojo but also pose a threat to those around him.

"October 31st arrives, and Suguru Geto’s plan is in motion. A curtain is cast to trap civilians in Shibuya, with many of them begging for one man, Satoru Gojo! Multiple squads of sorcerers are dispatched to the scene. What mysteries lie within the Shibuya Curtain…?"

Will this plan go without a hitch? Or will Gojo Satoru, the strongest, find a way to thwart the plans of his enemies and save the day? And, most importantly, will Gojo be able to protect everyone before it’s too late? You’ll have to wait to find out!
