The anime poster was featured in the latest issue of Shonen Jump to showcase the characters for the new season of Jujutsu Kaisen. Those who watched the anime should already recognize some of these characters and notice that they look different from the first season, as the new arc takes place a few years before the main story.

Therefore, in the new arc, the anime will tell the story of Gojo Satoru , when he was still a student at the wizard school. Furthermore, the story will reveal his connection to Suguru Geto and will also introduce a very important character who crossed paths with Gojo in the past, Toji Fushiguro .

Synopsis:

The story follows Yuji Itadori, a high school student who becomes involved with a secret society of sorcerers called Jujutsu Kaisen, which fights against curses, evil beings that haunt the world of the living. Ultimately, to protect his friends and family, Yuji decides to become a sorcerer and joins other members of Jujutsu Kaisen, including his mentor, the powerful sorcerer Gojo Satoru .

Furthermore, the first season premiered in October 2020 and had 24 episodes animated by the MAPPA studio.
