by There is no way that Gojo Satoru (CV: Nakamura Yuichi), the strongest sorcerer of the modern era, would ever be in a desperate situation! His “0.2-second domain expansion” that broke through a problematic situation that could have involved ordinary people will leave you astonished and asking, “Is that even possible!?”
The Shibuya Incident is set in Shibuya, bustling with Halloween, and features a large-scale battle between sorcerers, cursers, and cursed spirits. In episode 33, Mahito ( voiced by Shimazaki Nobunaga ), a special-grade cursed spirit, sends many cyborgs into a crowded train station.
Even though Gojo is a skilled warrior, his fighting methods are greatly limited in the presence of so many ordinary people. …Or so you might think, but he activates his domain expansion, “Muyoukujo,” in the crowd.
That being said, Gojo only used Domain Expansion this time for 0.2 seconds. Non-sorcerers, including cyborgs, would faint while still standing, but Gojo had set the time by “intuition” as he thought it would leave them unconscious without any after-effects. After releasing the domain, Gojo exterminated approximately 1,000 cyborgs in 299 seconds.
This scene brilliantly foiled the cursed spirits’ cowardly tactics of trying to drag ordinary people into the fray and can be said to be one of the highlights of the “Shibuya Incident.”
The currently streaming anime ” Jujutsu Kaisen ” is based on the manga of the same name by Gege Akutami. The manga has sold over 90 million copies and depicts the battle between “curses” born from negative human emotions and sorcerers who exorcise them with sorcery. The story begins when Yuji Itadori, who shares a body with the king of curses, “Ryomen Sukuna,” transfers to the “Jujutsu Technical College,” a specialized institution for fighting curses.
The first season of the TV anime, which began airing in October 2020, has been a big hit in Japan and worldwide. The second season, which aired from July to December 2023, depicted the story of Gojo Satoru and the worst curse user, Geto Suguru (CV: Sakurai Takahiro), during their time at technical college, “Kaitama/Gyoku Ore,” and the story of the Shibuya Incident, which continues from the first season. A sequel, “Shimetsu Kaiyuu,” has also been confirmed to be produced.
