Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 is now back with new episodes this Summer, and the promo for the next episode is setting up for the full kick off of the highly anticipated Shibuya Incident arc!

A large number of civilians are trapped… and the civilians begin asking for Satoru Gojo. In order to minimize damage, higher-ups choose to handle Shibuya by having Gojo work there alone. Geto, Mahito, and other curses set traps and wait while Gojo arrives. Yuji, Megumi, Nobara, Nanami, and many others wait outside the curtain.
