With just three days to go for the release of Jujutsu Kaisen season 2, the core team revealed the first 90 seconds of season 2 episode 1 at the Anime Expo 2023, in Los Angeles. The clip excited the entire fanbase as these 90 seconds focused completely on Geto Suguru and set the tone for the upcoming season.
Aside from the Jujutsu Kaisen season 2 clip, the team also revealed a new video game titled Jujutsu Kaisen Cursed Clash. This game has been developed by Bandai Namco, and it will be available for PlayStation, Nintendo Switch, Xbox, and PC.
Additional details about Jujutsu Kaisen season 2 clip
Manabu Otsuka, the CEO of MAPPA, Ryota Ikeda, the Editor of Shueisha, and Masaya Saito, the Producer at TOHO Animation attended the Anime Expo. The trio revealed the clip to fans, which took them by surprise as it focused more on Geto and less on Gojo.
In the 90-second clip, fans could see a young Geto Suguru walking into a dark alley and encountering a cursed spirit. He exorcized the spirit and proceeded to consume it. His facial expressions suggested a bad taste, which he endured briefly. Towards the end of the clip, fans noticed Geto meeting Gojo in a busy alleyway. The tone of the scene suggested a possible confrontation between these two sorcerers.
This year’s Anime Expo did not disappoint fans as it gave them some insight into the process of adapting a manga into an anime, from the viewpoint of the technical team. Furthermore, the audience was also privy to additional comments that were provided by the creator himself, Gege Akutami, as well as Yuji Itadori’s voice actor, Junya Enoki.
