Things are really heating up in the Shibuya Incident arc and we're about to see some of the most highly anticipated fights in Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2. The first images from Episode 16 confirm that Ryomen Sukuna is gearing up for his first battle against Jogo. In addition to that, Megumi Fushiguro is going up against the strange man he didn't recognize in the previous episode!
The new images from Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 Episode 16 were shared by the anime's official website and some of them tease the fiery showdown between Sukuna and Jogo. In the previous episode, Jogo had awakened Sukuna, who promised to join Jogo's group if Jogo managed to land one blow on the King of Curses. Their impending fight is one of the most highly awaited battles in the Shibuya Incident arc.

Interestingly, the fight between Sukuna and Jogo is not the only one being previewed in the stills. It is also revealed that Megumi Fushiguro is going up against Toji Zenin, who had made a surprise appearance in last week's episode. Although the viewers are aware of Toji's identity, Megumi doesn't recognize him just yet and Toji himself doesn't seem to know that he is going after his own son.
The official synopsis for Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 Episode 16 reads as follows:
Sukuna, who has just woken up, does not listen to Jogo’s advice and shows his overwhelming strength against the special grade cursed spirit. On the other hand, Megumi and Toji, who do not know each other yet, face each other and run amok. Megumi is on the edge of his seat against the overwhelming Toji, but then…
The upcoming episode will be directed by Shota Goshozono with Ryota Aikei serving as Assistant Director. Hiroshi Seko is in charge of the screenplay and series composition while Tadashi Hiramatsu and Sayaka Koiso worked on character design and sub-character design, respectively. Junichi Higashi still serves as art director and Yoshimasa Terui provides the music.
