1. Kenjaku used Mahito’s power to activate Jujutsu energy in people’s bodies.
In episode 23 of the Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 anime, Yuki Tsukumo finally reappears. She manages to stop Uraume and Geto (who are being controlled by Kenjaku) from killing the Jujutsu school students. Yuki tries to slow them down so that the students can be saved, and he also reveals Geto’s plan to trigger the evolution of ordinary humans.
Unexpectedly, Kenjaku, who had mastered Geto’s body, used Mahito’s curse technique extensively. He has a plan to turn on the Jujutsu potential in people. There are two types of people affected by this technique.
First, those who can survive after swallowing a cursed object like Yuji Itadori. Secondly, those who actually possess curse techniques, but their potential is hindered because their minds resemble ordinary humans, like Junpei Yoshino.
As it turns out, Kenjaku also made a deal with a number of witches from various ages. They can be revived in the present, using human bodies that have expertise in activating curses empowered by Mahito’s power.
He did this so that they could fight and wipe out ordinary humans, leaving only the superior ones behind.
2. Kenjaku escaped with Prison Realm and released many curse spirits in Tokyo
Uraume lost his ability to freeze the Jujutsu Mages due to being exposed to Choso’s poisonous blood. But before Yuji and his friends could attack Geto, Uraume escaped with the Prison Realm containing Gojo.
In addition, he also freed a lot of curse spirits that he had previously manipulated. The story cuts off at that point.
Then, the audience is told about the consequences of the Shibuya Incident. It is shown that since the incident, many areas in Tokyo have been damaged and have become dangerous because they are haunted by cursed spirits.
In fact, these spirits can act arbitrarily, such as attacking reporters on the street and ordinary citizens in their homes.
This problem has left the Japanese government at a loss to cope with this disaster. Finally, the country’s leaders plan to reveal the truth about the supernatural world that has been hidden from the public as a warning. However, this disclosure will only take place in Tokyo.
3. After returning to Japan, Yuta Okkotsu was assigned the task of executing Yuji Itadori
After waiting long enough, Yuta Okkotsu finally made his first appearance in the Jujutsu Kaisen anime. In the ending of Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2, together with Rika he managed to save a little boy who was separated from his parents due to the spread of a curse spirit plague.
This suggests that Yuta, who is a distant relative of Gojo, has returned to Japan after traveling with Miguel in Africa.
Yuta was then summoned by the leaders of the Jujutsu world. As one of the two Special Level Magicians still on their side, the leaders ordered Yuta to kill Yuji Itadori.
Yuta Okkotsu agreed with the order. He didn’t seem to care that Yuji was the student Gojo had previously protected. Yuta wanted to kill Yuji because he had injured Toge Inumaki when Sukuna took over Yuji’s body.
4. We will see the fate of Yuji Itadori in Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3
After the incident in Shibuya, it was seen that the Jujutsu leaders also announced some new rules.
Then, the scene moved to Yuji who was walking alone on the bridge. Apparently, he was looking for a curse spirit for him to destroy. Therefore, the ending of Jujustu Kaisen Season 2 shows that the story in Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 will be more complex and tense.
Can Yuji Itadori and his friends succeed in freeing Gojo? Did Yuta Okkotsu manage to kill Yuji? What is the evil plan that Kenjaku is planning through the people whose Jujutsu energy he activated?
