What’s up guys! Let’s talk about the bombastic ending of the 2nd season of “Jujutsu Kaisen”. On December 29, 2023, the last episode, number 23, took place and left everyone’s hair standing on end. The season closed with a flourish, showing Shibuya taken over by cursed spirits, and our beloved Yuji Itadori on the blacklist to be executed. Everyone is already excited for the 3rd season, because things promise to catch fire!
The Final Episode and Its Origins
Speaking of the final episode, it brought chapters 136, 137 and a little bit of 139 straight to the screens. And there was no shortage of surprises, with the expected appearance of Yuta Okkotsu and Rika. Do you remember them? Yuta was the main guy in Jujutsu Kaisen 0, and his relationship with Rika Orimoto was the heart of the story.
Rika: From Cursed Spirit to Shikigami
Now, about Rika: she was a cursed spirit linked to Yuta and appeared in the film Jujutsu Kaisen 0. At the end of the film, we saw her being exorcised, and everyone thought it was the end of the line for her. But, surprise, she appears in the 2nd season as Yuta’s Shikigami. This left people a little confused, but the explanation is that Rika’s cursed spirit evolved. Now, she is an independent entity, full of energy, cursed techniques and weapons, and helps Yuta a lot in combat.
Yuta and Rika’s Impact on the Plot
Rika and Yuta’s return was a highlight. Rika, as a shikigami, carries the essence of Rika Orimoto, maintaining an emotional connection with Yuta. And Yuta, arriving with everything in episode 23, delivers that punchline about killing Yuji Itadori, becoming an intriguing antagonist for the next season.
Next Steps: Season 3 on the Way
And for those who are already dying of anxiety, the good news is that the 3rd season is already confirmed! There will be the Culling Games arc, and we will find out more about Yuji’s parents. Additionally, new characters will appear, such as Hakari, Kashimo and Higuruma.
Conclusion
So that’s it, folks! Season 2 of Jujutsu Kaisen was a rollercoaster of emotions and ended leaving us wanting more. With new characters and mysteries to be revealed, the next season promises to be even more exciting. Stay tuned!
