The first season of Jujutsu Kaisen, available on Crunchyroll, was extremely popular for very good reasons. With amazing animation, fabulous combat and characters brimming with charisma, the adaptation of Gege Akutami’s manga lived up to an original work that has taken one step further what a shonen must be to be considered excellent.
In the new trailer for the second season we get a glimpse of some returning characters, as well as some new characters, along with some spectacular moves that give us a glimpse of some of the fights that await us. Although there are no spoilers of any kind, for those who have read the manga or have seen Jujutsu Kaisen 0, a movie released in 2022 and available on Crunchyroll, several plot developments are hinted at whose importance will end up determining the future of the main characters of the series. Not necessarily for the better.
The first season of Jujutsu Kaisen premiered on October 3, 2020 and consisted of 24 episodes. Critically acclaimed by critics and audiences, it was developed by MAPPA, one of the most prestigious anime studios of today, known in particular for having made the last seasons of Attack on the Titans, Chainsaw Man and Hell’s Paradise: Jigokuraku. Although this second season will change directors from the hands of Sunghoo Park to Shōta Goshozono, no other changes to the team have been announced. The second season of the anime will premiere on Thursday, July 6 on Crunchyroll and, barring any last-minute changes, will also consist of 24 episodes.
Adapting the Kaigyoku/Gyokusetsu arc and the Shibuya Incident arc, these are the two highest rated arcs of the manga so far. So it’s hard to believe that this second season of the anime, barring disaster, can be anything less than a smash hit.
