The Plot of the Second Season
Remember when Itadori Yuji merged with Ryomen Sukuna back in 2018? How about Okkotsu Yuta breaking Orimoto Rika’s curse in 2017? Well, fast forward to the spring of 2006, where we witness the legends themselves, Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru, on a mission of utmost importance.
Tengen, the immortal “cornerstone” of the jujutsu community, tasks the duo with escorting and erasing the “Star Plasma Vessel,” Amanai Riko, the chosen girl to merge with Tengen.
A mysterious assassin named Fushiguro emerges, hell-bent on eliminating the Star Plasma Vessel. As the dust settles, the enigmatic pasts of Gojo and Geto, the epitome of power and darkness, are on the brink of revelation.
Impact of Season 1 of Jujutsu Kaisen
Anime watcher or not, manga reader or not, you have definitely heard of Jujutsu Kaisen. Jujutsu Kaisen will be labeled as the anime that re-defined shonen anime. Not only did it shake the anime community, but it also took the Western world by storm.
When was the last time you saw an American cosplay as an anime character? Well, now all you can see are Americans cosplaying as a JJK character or Demon Slayer character.
It put a stop to the sentence, “Anime is a cartoon,” and showed the entire world what animation can really do. The first season was nothing short of perfection. It gave us no room to complain and increased the standards for a shonen anime to unthinkable levels.
You may think, “Oh, it’s mainstream. It’s only popular because it went viral on social media.” But it went viral for a reason. Yes, it’s mainstream, but that doesn’t mean it’s bad; it’s actually very far from being bad.
Like Shingeki No Kyojin and Demon Slayer, JJK is rightfully rated and deserves all the hype it gets. From flawless animations to well-rounded characters and a great narrative, Jujutsu Kaisen will go on to become a staple in the anime world.
