Plot Story
Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 takes a different direction from Season 1, focusing on a prequel arc that explores the history of Satoru Gojo and Suguru Geto. This season is set in the early 2000s and delves into the story of Gojo and Geto, providing a thrilling yet convoluted origin story.
Season 2 maintains high stakes and tension despite the known outcomes due to its prequel nature. The interactions between Gojo and Geto carry pathos from the context of what is to come. The consequences of the story are far-reaching, impacting the story in the present and affecting every member of Jujutsu High.
Besides, second half of this season also takes us to the most thriling, heart - wrenching and deadly arc - Shibuya Incident. In this arc, we not only witness visually stunning battle scenes but also experience many deaths on both the protagonist and antagonist sides, especially the disappearance of our "sensei" Gojo.
In contrast, Season 1 followed a more traditional shonen anime format, introducing the main character’s journey through a bleak lens. It was action-packed and faithfully adhered to the shonen genre.
The stylistic differences between the two seasons are evident. Season 2 leans more towards a cinematic approach with a revamped animation style. It provides its characters and setting with more expression and emotion than Season 1. Overall, both seasons offer unique plotlines and styles, contributing to the series’ success.
