Fans are about to witness the ending of the Shibuya Incident arc in the upcoming Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 Episode 23, titled Shibuya Incident Closing the Gate. With the surprising penultimate episode featuring the sorcerers gathering for one big fight, the preview stills for the second season’s final episode hint at a chaotic finale, especially with the arrival of the special-grade Yuki Tsukumo.
The first Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 Episode 23 still features an injured Yuki. Though he isn’t bloody this time, the wounds from his previous fights left a huge scar on his face. The next preview features Geto holding a prison realm, which he used to seal Gojo.
Yuki enters the scene and is expected to show her incredible power in the Shibuya Incident arc finale. For the last still, Choso seems to be trying to free himself from Uraume’s frost-calm technique.
