Spoiler Alert: This article contains spoilers. Proceed with caution if you have not watched the show/movie.

After the Japanese manga series, Jujutsu Kaisen dropped its finale on March 27 on Crunchyroll, fans waiting for Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2.

Jujutsu Kaisen is based on a manga series written and illustrated by GegeAkutami. It is also known as Sorcery Fight, which is a horror urban fantasy anime series. Directed by Sunghoo Park, Season 1 of the series premiered on October 3, 2020, and aired 24 episodes. After the final episode dropped, fans are itching to know whether the first season is the end of the manga series.

While there is no announcement regarding Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2, the good news is that the creators are coming with a prequel film, titled “Jujutsu Kaisen 0.” The film will cover a storyline called "Tokyo Metropolitan Curse Technical School" that focuses on two characters, namely Yuta Okkotsu and Rika Orimoto.

A short trailer for the film has already been released. According to the trailer, Jujutsu Kaisen 0 is scheduled for release during winter 2022!

 SYNOPSIS

The story takes place one year before Itadori's time, focusing on YutaOkkotsu, the main protagonist of this story. In Jujutsu Kaisen season 1, we haven't seen Yuta yet, but other characters often make reference to him and the incidents that occurred in the past. Yuta's been brought in to Jujutsu High by Satoru Gojo because he's been cursed by his childhood friend Rika. This is no ordinary curse as she's classified Special Grade. And because of her overwhelming strengh, Yuta doesn't know how to control or use her. Meanwhile, SuguruGeto is out to get YutaOkkotsu, specifically targeting Rika to add to his own collection of cursed spirits he controls, setting up a showdown with his best friend-turned-enemy Gojo Satoru.

Getting back to Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2, it is likely the makers will return with the season run of the manga series after the release of the film. So, Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 might get a release date in 2023, if it happens in the future.

Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 cast would come back with all the main characters that include protagonist Yuji who is voiced by JunyaSuwabe. Alongside Yuji are Megumi (voiced by Yuma Uchida), Nobara (Asami Seto) and Satoru (Yuichi Nakamura).

Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 story revolves around a high school boy Yuji who swallows a finger of a demon. Although Sakuna tried to protect his friends but ends up becoming Sakuna’s host. Though he discovers that he can control his powers through magic and will not be controlled by Sakuna, he vows to eat the remaining fingers of Sakuna after which he could exorcise himself and get free. For this, he joins the Metropolitan Magic Technical College.
