The Hidden Inventory Arc covers the backstory of Gojo and Geto.
Shibuya Incident is still the most popular arc.
Hidden Inventory has a successful combination of many genres.
The Hidden Inventory Arc was shown in the first episodes of Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2. For fans who didn't read the manga, it was a real shock. The main characters from the previous season were removed and a brand new plot with not many familiar characters was shown. Despite many concerns, Hidden Inventory turned out to be a very entertaining story. It could easily compete with the Shibuya Incident Arc. It's probably even better, but why?
Strongest competitor
The Hidden Inventory Arc covers the backstory of Gojo and Geto. Five episodes focus on their mission to guard Riko Amanai – Master Tengen’s vessel. It is a complete story with few events, but filled with meaning and context to the Jujutsu Kaisen world.
Although the Shibuya Incident is now heavily criticized, it remains the most popular arc in the anime. There are more events and the pacing of the arc is much faster. However, it is not entirely good. Because of the fast paced story, emotional moments get lost. Sure, Nanami's death and Sukuna's rampage are very touching moments, but they can hardly be compared to the deaths of Riko or Toji, as Hidden Inventory devotes more time to them.
Another significant gap is the lack of character development in the Shibuya Incident Arc (with the exception of Yuji). There's not even time for Nobara due to the abundance of events, even though she's considered one of the main characters in Jujutsu Kaisen. Hidden Inventory, on the other hand, consistently tells about Gojo and Geto's relationship and the backstory of the arc's main antagonist — Toji.
What makes it so good?
First of all, it's good because there's a lot of information about the Jujutsu Kaisen world. There's Gojo's character development, Geto's gradual descent into darkness, and an explanation of Master Tengen's functions. The arc properly introduced viewers to the characters' pasts and gave a new reading to the events that had previously taken place. Fans learned a lot about Gojo's motivation. After finishing this arc, Gojo's desire to protect young sorcerers no longer seems like a whim. Geto's transformation from a good sorcerer who wanted to help everyone to a villain who hated people was shown perfectly.
The animation and all related features are done at a high level. Although all of Jujutsu Kaisen's arcs are high quality. Hidden Inventory presents a successful combination of many genres: comedy, drama, action and even a slice-of-life. Not many anime can boast such a balanced narrative. Probably because of less focus, the story was able to reach greater heights and viewers got a wonderful story five episodes long.
Not because there's a lot of Gojo!
Spoilers ahead!
