It's almost time for the final episode of the Hidden Inventory/Premature Death arc and we just got a preview of things to come in Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 Episode 5. Not surprisingly, the first images for this week's episode once again feature Satoru Gojo and Suguru Geto. But this time, we also get a glimpse at young Megumi Fushiguro and the return of a mysterious character from the first season!
Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 Episode 5 will be the last one for the first cour and we already know that the mid-season finale is going to reveal what happened to Gojo and Geto after they failed in their important mission. In addition to that, the episode will show what Gojo did after Toji Fushiguro told him about the latter's son being sold to the Zenin clan.
The official Jujutsu Kaisen Twitter account dropped four stills from the second season's Episode 5 and it offers a new look at young Megumi Fushiguro, the young boy whose father was known as the "sorcerer killer." It's a familiar shot considering that we have already seen how Gojo took Megumi under his care in a flashback from the first season. Still, we're happy to see that the boy has always had that disinterested look on his face.
Interestingly, one of the stills shows what might initially look like a new character. There is a young woman with blond hair in the photos and if she looks familiar, that's because we already saw her in the first season. Yuki Tsukumo appeared briefly in Todo Aoi's childhood flashback asking what would become his trademark question: "What do you like in a girl?" With that in mind, we're looking forward to learning more about Yuki this Thursday.
