These posters provide Jujutsu Kaisen fans with a glimpse of what to expect when the new season airs in summer. The show will start with Gojo's arc and then move on to the Shibuya Incident arc, which is one of the biggest storylines in the manga series. Fans of the anime can look forward to seeing how the team at MAPPA handles this pivotal plot.

The first season of "Jujutsu Kaisen" is based on four arcs of the manga: "Fearsome Womb," "Vs. Mahito," "Kyoto Goodwill Event," and "Death Painting" Arc which ran from chapters 55-64 in the manga.  The second season will adapt two manga arcs, "Gojo's Past" which will be covered 65-79 chapters in the original manga and "Shibuya Incident" which will cover 79-136 chapters.  "Gojo's Past" covers Satoru Gojo's past and his efforts with Suguru Geto to get the Star Plasma Vessel to Master Tengen, while the "Shibuya Incident" arc takes place on Halloween and involves an epic battle in Shibuya.
