Jujutsu Kaisen is an anime television series based on Gege Akutami's manga series of the same name. The anime series was announced in the 52nd issue of Weekly Shōnen Jump published in November 2019.[1]

In February 2022, a second season was announced.[2] Shōta Goshozono replaced Sunghoo Park as series director, with Sayaka Koiso and Tadashi Hiramatsu designing the characters and Yoshimasa Terui returning as the sole composer.[3] The season aired from July 6 to December 28, 2023.[4] It ran for two continuous cours and adapted the manga's "Hidden Inventory / Premature Death" and "Shibuya Incident" story arcs.[5] "Hidden Inventory / Premature Death" acts as a prequel to Jujutsu Kaisen 0 and the first season, as it focuses on a teenage Satoru Gojo and Suguru Geto during their time as students at Jujutsu High in 2006 and how the two went from friends to enemies. "Shibuya Incident" takes place in present day 2018 as the Sorcerers and Curses engage in an all-out war in Shibuya on Halloween night.

The season is licensed by Crunchyroll for streaming outside of Asia, and began streaming an English dub on July 20, 2023.[6][7]
