Summary

The perfect mix of plot and action to introduce viewers to what is sure to be a crazy new arc.

With its prequel arc over, Jujutsu Kaisen is ready to shift its focus back to Yuji, Megumi (voiced by Yuma Uchida), Nobara (voiced by Asami Seto), and the beginning of the Shibuya Incident Arc.

Often hailed as one of the emotionally devastating arcs in the series, fans have been waiting for years to finally see it animated.

In this particular storyline, viewers will learn just what led to the infamous terrorist attack in Shibuya on October 31st and witness some of the most epic battles in the series play out before learning what the consequences of these battles will eventually be.

Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 Episode 6 Recap

The episode opens with Yuji, Megumi, and Nobara deciding what they’re going to do with their afternoons. Yuji attempts to convince them to see a movie with him, but Megumi goes home while Nobara goes shopping.

What students do Aoi Todo and Mei Mei recommend for first-grade sorcerer status?

Aoi Todo and Mei Mei recommend Yuji, Nobara, Megumi, Panda, and Maki Zenin for first-grade sorcerer status. If they are deemed fit after a recommendation and mission, they will be promoted to semi-first-grade sorcerers, allowing them to go on first-grade missions.

Who is Yuko Ozawa?

Yuko Ozawa is a former middle school classmate of Yuji Itadori’s. She had a crush on him then but was afraid to approach him because of her looks and her family’s upcoming move to Tokyo.

After seeing him in Tokyo and talking with Nobara, her new friend attempts to set them up.

Who is Kokichi Muta?

Kokichi Muta is Mechamaru’s real body.

When Muta’s real body was too weak to move, he created and began using a cursed corpse to attend Jujustu High and carry out missions for him.

Who is the mole at Kyoto Jujutsu High?

Kokichi Muta, or rather his cursed corpse, Mechemaru, is the mole at Kyoto Jujutsu High.

He agreed to be the mole as long as Mahito used his ability to fix his body.

Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 Episode 6 Ending Explained

Mahito and Geto, who we know to be dead, arrive at Muta’s room to hold up their end of the pact and fix his body. Once they do so, Mahito and Muta begin fighting.

Geto lowers a veil to cut off Muta’s communication, but Muta knows he must find a way to contact Gojo to tell him the information he knows about the Shibuya plot.

He decides to use his stored cursed energy to attempt to exorcise Mahito.

Considering I was expecting a sweet slice-of-life episode to start off the new arc, I was pleasantly surprised to see the second half of the episode jumping right into things.

Seeing Geto was definitely a surprise, as any fans who saw Jujutsu Kaisen 0 will remember that Gojo was forced to take the life of his best friend at the end of the movie. I am already intrigued by what’s happening and curious to see what’s in store.

Despite the long break, this episode did not skip a beat, dropping fans back into the action, and I, especially, am glad they did not make us wait for things to build up after such an exciting prequel arc.
