The Shibuya Incident Arc is currently being animated.
Anime-onlys think the second season feels like the finale of the series.
It’s not the finale, but it’s the climax of the first half of Jujutsu Kaisen.
The second season of Jujutsu Kaisen has been a wild ride. The Shibuya Incident Arc, currently being animated, was promised to be special by manga readers long ago. And now that we’re finally witnessing it, there’s no doubt: they were right. We might argue whether it’s the best Jujutsu Kaisen arc for ages, but it’s difficult to deny that Shibuya Incident is extremely crucial for the series and its future. So, is it the finale of Jujutsu Kaisen then?
If you’re here for a short answer, then no, it’s not the finale. The manga is still going, and if you look through the list of JJK arcs, you’ll see that there are at least four of them after the Shibuya Incident one. And still, Season 2 does feel like a goodbye a lot.
Why does it feel like the end?
It’s no-brainer why. A lot of important characters are out of the picture. Nanami and Nobara are dead, Gojo is sealed. Sukuna is finally released, and we understand that the series is supposed to end with battling him. A number of villains are also dead. It all feels very ending-close, doesn’t it?
The Jujutsu Kaisen vibe changed drastically during this arc, and while the series had its dark moments before, it’s never been like that. We went from a regular shounen with cool characters and an interesting power system to something much more mature and even sinister at times. The vibe change, as well as the important deaths, can easily drive you to the conclusion that the series is approaching its end, but it’s not like that.
It’s just the middle part of the story
Manga readers call the Shibuya Incident Arc a climax of the first part of Jujutsu Kaisen. So if you’re an anime-only, you might have mistaken this for the grand finale. Fans compare this arc to Marineford in One Piece or Shiganshina Battle in Attack on Titan. Some crucial story points happen here, and now characters will have to learn to deal with them. The difference is that for One Piece and Attack on Titan these events happened much later in the story, while Jujutsu Kaisen has already said as much as it has to say.
Fans predict that by the time the Jujutsu Kaisen manga ends, the Shibuya Incident Arc will be somewhere in the middle of the series. So get ready for more epic events and battles, as they are definitely coming in the future.
