Hope you are here after Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 episode 12. Minor spoilers ahead.
So, the last episode concluded with an exciting cliffhanger: Yuji Itadori charges toward the location where Satoru Gojo is sealed, only to encounter the antagonistic Choso, who is determined to avenge his brothers, previously killed by Yuji and Kugisaki.
Studio Mappa delivers another tense and excitingly choreographed action edition with this episode, which is titled “Red Scale”. The first few seconds provide a rhythmic contrast between Yuji’s rapid sprint and Choso’s deliberate, slow steps toward his target. Once they face each other, the rest of the episode rushes by, entirely dedicated to portraying the intense battle between the two. Expect a lot of blood, especially since Choso is a special grade cursed spirit, who is exceptionally strong and his primary power is blood manipulation.
The episode is pretty fast-paced, even though it mainly consists of just Yuji and Choso attacking each other. Viewers who haven’t read the original manga by Gege Akutami will be glad that a narrator steps in to explain how his blood-manipulation works, complete with its scale and limitations. This is probably one of my favorite episodes and it ends on a very “WTF” note, but you have to give it a few seconds to understand what’s happening. Also, there’s a small scene post-credits, so watch out for that.
You can stream Jujutsu Kaisen on Netflix or CrunchyRoll.
