In the final moments of Episode 17, a badly burnt Kento Nanami is shown wandering around Shibuya with his shirt virtually shredded. Although the images from the upcoming episode feature a smiling Nanami at the beach, manga readers know that things won't turn out happily for the character and since Yuji is featured in the preview, he will be there to witness the horror. With that in mind, fans are warned to be prepared for Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 Episode 18.
The upcoming episode of Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 is titled Right and Wrong ("Rihi") and will serve as the 12th episode of the Shibuya Incident arc. Although Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 Episode 18 is set to keep its Japanese schedule, the international release will be delayed to Friday, November 24, 2023, at 6 PM JST / 7 AM ET / 6 AM CT / 4 AM PT.
