The highly anticipated second season of the "Jujutsu Kaisen" anime adaptation is about to reach its exciting conclusion next week. However, the penultimate episode brought to light one of the most controversial and polemical scenes from the original manga MAPPA production team decided to animate this scene, defying the expectations of many anime fans.

Near the end of the "Shibuya Incident Arc," Mei Mei and her younger brother, Ui Ui , escape Japan and decide to stay at a hotel in Malaysia, providing a stark contrast to Kento Nanami . The scene in question presents a different relationship between Mei Mei and her brother, without omitting any details from the manga.

This choice by the animation team certainly generated diverse discussions and reactions within the fan community. Many argue that this scene was unnecessary to show that Mei Mei was already completely corrupted since leaving Shibuya to its fate.

The anime adaptation of the controversial scene from "Jujutsu Kaisen" brought to the forefront a heated discussion that had already been ongoing since the original manga. The airing of this specific scene reignited the debate among viewers, leading to criticism directed at the character Mei Mei and the author Gege Akutami .

Later, Mei Mei rejoins the group as if nothing had happened, leaving her actions unexplained. This plot development generated a flood of comments on social media.
