As Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 continues to delve deeper into the gripping Shibuya Incident arc, fans are on the edge of their seats. After all, the previous episode left a lasting impact with Satoru Gojo finally getting sealed and the truth about Suguru Geto is revealed to the (anime only) world. As the story unfolds, more challenges lie ahead for Yuji Itadori's squad, promising further emotional turmoil. Now, a tantalizing glimpse into the upcoming climax of the second season has been unveiled.
A sneak peek comes courtesy of a behind-the-scenes special (via X/ Twitter). In the featurette, an actor can be seen diligently at work, fully immersed in the scene. The actor, Junya Enoki, plays a pivotal role in this sequence. Enoki, who portrays Yuji in the anime, shows an intense physicality to his performance and as a result, the actor appears to break down while recording the sequences.
For avid followers of the Jujutsu Kaisen manga, this scene will hold significant resonance. It follows Yuji in the aftermath of Gojo's sealing, making him the primary target of curses. Several individuals approach Yuji in a bid to awaken Ryomen Sukuna, and their efforts indeed bring forth the fearsome King of Curses.
What ensues can only be described as a devastating massacre, with Sukuna displaying his immense power. When Yuji regains control of his body, the manga underscores the profound emotional impact of the ordeal on the young protagonist.
It appears that this behind-the-scenes special has given viewers a taste of the emotional intensity that this pivotal scene will bring to Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2. As fans eagerly anticipate the unfolding events of this electrifying arc, this sneak peek has only heightened the anticipation for what promises to be an unforgettable climax.
Enoki's performance here is truly impressive and this is just the voice recording! With that in mind, fans are already looking forward to the latter part of the Shibuya Incident arc later this month.
Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 Episode 11 is titled Summon ("Korei"). The next chapter of the Shibuya Incident arc will premiere on October 6, 2023.
