In the “Shibuya Incident” arc of the anime Jujutsu Kaisen, witch doctors, curse masters, and cursed spirits engage in a deadly battle. The episode depicting the casual daily life of Yuji Kojo (CV: Junya Enoki ) and his friends just before a large-scale battle was “emotional” and “please remember the peaceful daily life of the first year,” viewers said.

The story begins when Yuji Kojo (CV: Junya Enoki), who ends up sharing a body with the king of curses, the king of curses, “Ryome no Sukuna,” transfers to the “Tokyo Metropolitan College of Curse,” an institution specializing in anti-cursing.
The second season of the anime, which aired from July to December 2023, depicted the episodes of “Kaitama/Tamaori” and “Shibuya Jihen,” which are popular in the original work. It has already been decided that the sequel, “Shimetsu Kaiyu,” will be produced.
