The latest episode featured a lot of amazing things while also maintaining the top-notch quality of the animation and progressing the story unlike anything. Nanami and Nobara were also dragged into the latest episode as they took on new curse users, with the former getting the amazing god-like sequence of beating the curse user to gaining some information.
Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 Episode 12 and Gege Akutami prove that they do not need Gojo to keep this series interesting and its characters cool. Infact, it wouldn’t be challenging at all, and we wouldn’t see our character struggle if Gojo was still in the picture as he could literally kill every single person in Japan if he wanted to, as Mei Mei had remarked.
Nanami moves forward to see what is going to happen inside from now on the Shibuya ward, with Yuji also pacing inside to retrieve Gojo and come across Choso. A new fight is in development, and the fans await to see where this will lead.
Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 Episode 13 will be here next week to provide us with the context of what is going to happen moving forward. For the time being, we only have a preview that doesn’t reveal much, but we will still provide you guys anyway.
In addition to that, we are going to lay down our predictions for the upcoming episode in this post with the details on the episode, such as the release date and time of Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 Episode 13 and where it will be available to stream once it is out.
But before all of that, let us first take a detailed recap and review the Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 Episode 12. With that being said, here we bring you the latest updates on the ongoing Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 anime.
Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 Episode 12 Recap And Review
Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 Episode 12, titled “Blunt Sword,” begins with Nanami locating Ichiji’s body and is very angry, finding him lying on the ground, almost going to be dead. The episode then sees the siblings Mei Mei and Ui Ui fighting a curse user, where the weird relationship of the siblings is displayed.
u can see how much nanami cares for his fellow sorcerers this ep. it's been years but he still thinks of haibara when he sees ijichi's bloodied body, and the reminder of a sorcerer's cruel fate tips him over the edge and we see him truly angry for the first time #jujutsukaisen pic.twitter.com/WjdW9u1Vy4

Mei Mei boasts about her curse technique and her physical abilities of how she has trained since she was younger due to her curse technique lacking offensive abilities. Her personality shines in this 2-minute sequence with an amazing cat-walk animation.
Mei Mei is brutal and kills the curse user in front of her. Coming back to the main duo, Megumi and Yuji destroy the last piece that is casting the veil and notice that only one veil that is keeping the sorcerers out of Shibuya has been lifted.
Megumi notices Ino falling from the Shibuya Central building, and they both rush to prevent Ino from hitting the ground. Luckily, Ino isn’t dead, and Yuji plans to get revenge; however, Megumi tells him that their priority is getting Gojo and the trapped humans inside the veil.
Toji Gets Control of His Body!
Speaking of the persons in Ino, we then see Toji being manipulated by the curse users, taking full control of his body, and as soon as he recovers, we see the amazing coolness that this character has to portray.
The curse user, Granny, was afraid that something like this would happen, and therefore, she did not transfer the soul of the body to avoid this scenario. Toji boasts that his body is somewhat special and proceeds to follow her order, which is to kill the sorcerers, starting with killing the necromancer herself.

While this sequence was very short, it is one of the highlight scenes from the Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 Episode 12, and it is amazing to see a beast like Toji getting involved in this matter.
Meanwhile, we see that Maki is killing several curse spirits as soon as he enters inside the veil with Nobara and Akari with her. However, she feels that something is quite off about this current matter, given that Gojo wouldn’t let this happen, and orders Nobara and Akira to go check out outside the veil.
As for Megumi and Yuji, the former tells Yuji that he will be taking Ino outside and will take care of him, given that his condition is very bad and he needs to be treated. Yuji proceeds to go inside the Shibuya district, telling Megumi not to worry about him as he won’t die.
Nobara and Akira encounters Haruta
With this development, we are back to the main highlight of the Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 Episode 12, with Nobara and Akira encountering the curse user Haruta on their way outside of the veil. Nobara tells Akira to get through the Staitio while taking in Haruta.
Haruta remarks that he feels amazing to take on some women as he has been feeling very bored taking men outside the veil. As Nobara struggles to hit Haruta, the latter’s curse tool gets behind Akira and cuts her heels, preventing her from running away.
Nobara is very pissed seeing how Haruta is behaving and proceeds to attack him, but her attacks don’t land at all. Things get worse when Haruta goes on the offense, and with this cursed tool, a very concentrated knockout punch is implemented by Nobara, who is barely able to stand after this and struggles to hit him more but proceeds to stall for time and help to arrive.
Nanami Arrives To Beat Haruta
What follows after is pure entertainment and joy, seeing Nanami in action and getting the treatment from the Mappa studio that mostly only Gojo gets. Nanami arrives at the scene where Nobara and Akira are with Haruta, torturing and toying with them.
Nanami gets closer to Haruta, and before hitting him, he asks for the number of enemies and their locations, but as soon as the latter says no, Nanami punches him badly and sends him flying. Haruta remarks that he would have died if it weren’t for his cursed techniques.
THE ACTION ANIMATION ON THIS EPISODE WAS ABSOLUTELY PERFECT #JujutsuKaisen pic.twitter.com/rWfsh2z2PJ

Nanami tells Haruta that he knows Haruta is the one going around the veil and killing the informants and says that it is personal. Nanami asks once again about the number of enemies and their location before landing two more punches, sending Haruta out of the picture.
Mei Mei fights against the special cursed spirit, and Yuji encounters Choso.
The last two sequences of Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 Episode 12 are about new fights being adapted to the scene with Mei Mei being confronted by the Geto, who she presumes might be a fake one. Geto, aka this fake person, uses the special grader cursed spirit to stall Mei Mei and keep her BF5 platform, which makes Mei Mei excited to fight.
Meanwhile, Yuji, on his way to the inner ward of Shibuya, is confronted by Choso, who is angry to see the former and proceeds to attack him.
The result is night & day when your own desire overlaps with your objective.
Especially in this series, with how it's power system is constructed.
We saw that first hand with Nanami this week.. And Haruta to an extent. 💀#JJK #ShadzJK #JujutsuKaisen pic.twitter.com/n2n1BBU8PN

Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 Episode 13 Expectations
Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 Episode 13, releasing next Thursday, is titled “Red Scale,” and the episode has the potential to see multiple events occurring at the same time, much like what we saw in the latest episode.
However, the main highlight of the episode is going to focus on the fight between Yuji and Choso, as the latter is very keen on killing the former and avenging his brother.
Choso is going to be giving his all in this fight, and since he plans to avenge his brothers, he will proceed to kill him. While Yuji is way stronger on his own with his physical abilities, it might be tough for him to take on an opponent like Choso, considering he uses projectile abilities.
Meanwhile, the episode might also feature the weird siblings in action as well with Mei Mei giving her all since she mentioned that her life is in threat being in the cursed spirits’ domain expansion. Toji might make his move as well in the upcoming episode.
