Hope you are here after Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 episode 10. Minor spoilers ahead.
Woah woah woah! There is no Mahito, no Pseudo Geto, not even the peculiar volcano-headed Jogo in this episode. However, it’s packed with powerful maneuvers, intriguing new adversaries, and wild flashbacks to keep you engrossed until the end.
Titled “Seance,” episode 11 of Jujutsu Kaisen focuses on Team Yuji’s relentless efforts to breach the curtain preventing them from reaching Satoru Gojo. The trio eventually figure out that the curse users who’ve cast the curtain must be outside its perimeter and soon locate them. All the sorcerers however are still quite far from rescuing Gojo or the numerous civilians trapped in Shibuya.
The episode’s highlight centers around the highly anticipated team-up of Yuji and Megumi as they engage in combat against a formidable new curse user named Jiro Awasaka. They must defeat Jiro as he possesses cursed objects that uphold the seemingly impenetrable curtain over Shibuya. “Honestly, compared to dealing with enemies, cooperating with this brat somehow tires me out even more,” Megumi hilariously thinks to himself as the duo put up a united front against Jiro. Megumi Fushiguro’s composed and collected demeanor contrasts effectively with Yuji’s chaotic energy.
Meanwhile, Ino finds himself facing a daunting challenge as he squares off against Granny Ogami and her grandson. Ogami employs a unique seance technique to combat her adversaries, which serves as the inspiration for the episode’s title, “Seance.” An exciting yet violent flashback, featuring a young Satoru Gojo, not only provides insight into Ogami’s unique powers but also offers a glimpse into the fear and animosity that curse users harbor towards Gojo.
Studio MAPPA continues to maintain a winning streak with its striking animation and expertly choreographed battles between sorcerers and cursed users. The subtle nuances in the characters’ facial expressions are skillfully portrayed, with Yuji’s reactions providing delightful comic relief. In contrast to episode 9, where a weighty background score played a pivotal role in intensifying the atmosphere, this episode relies more on ambient sounds, such as the resonating punches and explosive impacts, to maintain a gritty tone.
Episode 11 showcases the remarkable growth in both the intellectual prowess and physical abilities of Megumi and Itadori. Bursting with intense action, gripping drama, and even a sprinkle of humor, it’s merely the appetizer before the epic battles that lie ahead.
You can stream Jujutsu Kaisen on Netflix or CrunchyRoll.
