What to expect from Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2?

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 refer to him and the incidents that occurred in the past. Yuta's been brought into Jujutsu High by Satoru Gojo because he's been cursed by his childhood friend Rika. This is no ordinary curse as she's classified as Special Grade. And because of her overwhelming strength, 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.

 Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 will revolve around Yuji who swallows a finger of a demon. Sakuna tries 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.
