It has already been confirmed that Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 will be split into two cours. The first half of the second season will consist of five episodes and adapt the manga's Gojo's Past arc which has been retitled Hidden Inventory/Premature Death arc. The second cour will cover the Shibuya Incident arc and will be significantly longer with 18 episodes.
It will still be a few weeks before the Shibuya Incident arc begins but Jujutsu Kaisen is making sure fans are hyped up for it. The announcement for the renewal of the pop-up stores Jujutsu Kaisen Area Expansion Square included two new key visuals.

What Happens in Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2's Shibuya Incident Arc?
While the first cour takes place in the past in an important part of Tokyo Jujutsu High School's history, the Shibuya Incident arc happens in the present right after Yuji Itadori, Megumi Fushiguro, and Nobara Kugisaki took on two of the Death Painting Wombs. It also continues with "Geto" and Mahito's plans to finally get rid of Gojo in an event that will forge an alliance between cursed spirits and curse users.
