Synopsis of Jujutsu Kaisen Anime Season 2

The second season of Jujutsu Kaisen takes us back in time, to 2006, within the walls of the Tokyo Exorcist Academy. Here, we discover the youth of two inseparable best friends, Satoru Gojou and Suguru Getou. These two young and powerful Special Grade exorcists are brimming with self-confidence and firmly believe that no challenge is too big for them.

Their mission is to safely deliver a sensible young girl, Riko Amanai, to an entity whose existence is the very essence of the jujutsu world. However, this mission plunges them into a whirlwind of exhausting moral conflicts, threatening to destroy the fragile friendship between exorcists and ordinary humans.

12 years later, in 2018, things have changed. The alliance of Scourges and Scourge Masters forged by Suguru Geto will set up a scheme to eliminate Satoru Gojo who is their greatest threat to create a world composed solely of cursed energy users.
