Jujutsu Kaisen season 2 on Crunchyroll: Details about the arcs to be adapted
Crunchyroll is going to exclusively stream Jujutsu Kaisen season 2 for people outside of Japan. This has been confirmed by the streaming platform through social media, and it was the most predictable outcome, considering how Crunchyroll is the most popular platform in the anime community.
From the series’ perspective, most of the promotional content has been centered around the arc involving Satoru Gojo’s past. He is the most powerful sorcerer in the series, and this arc is going to explore his youth, his friendship and fallout with Suguru Geto, the role that Toji Fushiguro plays in the story, and other things.
Meanwhile, it has been mentioned that the second half of the season is going to cover what is viewed as the best storyline in the series, the Shibuya Incident arc. This is when the story goes back to the present, and Yuji Itadori and his friends have to deal with a lot of different threads.
The appeal of the series
Jujutsu Kaisen season 2 is getting a lot of hype, which is understandable: the series has gone on to become one of the most rated in the entire world, with some claiming that Gege Akutami‘s series is a modern classic of the shonen genre. And the anime adaptation by MAPPA has only helped with that assumption.
The series has been highly regarded because of its strong characterization, a very detailed and intricate battle system, a story that has a lot of twists and turns, and battle scenes that stick to the audience’s minds. Also, Akutami is known for taking a lot of different classic tropes of the genre and subverting them in a way that feels fresh and exciting.
On that front, Jujutsu Kaisen season 2 seems to be a very important occasion for the series. Gojo’s past and the Shibuya Incident are major aspects of the franchise, so there are a lot of expectations about what is going to happen and if the adaptation is going to do justice to the source material.
