It’s sorcerer killer Toji Fushiguro versus Suguru Geto in “Hidden Inventory Part 4” – episode three of Jujutsu Kaisen season 2 episode 4. If you thought things were quite bloody last edition, the plot only gets bloodier and murkier. And a little too verbose.
After ruthlessly murdering Amanai, Toji shifts his focus to the complete annihilation of Suguru. As the two intimidating men clash, both of them give a running commentary on their techniques, a tactic that’s supposed to strengthen the speaker. However, amidst the intense action, the excessive dialogues inadvertently diffuse the tension of the current moment, bringing to mind Tanjiro from “Demon Slayer”, who is in a habit of over-explaining things during intense battles. Although, unlike the long-drawn fights in Demon Slayer, Jujutsu Kaisen continues to be swift and crisp in its pace.
It’s fascinating how Toji remains such a formidable antagonist despite having zero cursed energy. Viewers who were previously unaware of the meaning behind the “hidden inventory” will finally understand its significance. Toji himself explains that he swallowed a cursed spirit, which allows him to store curse tools inside its body, effectively helping him evade detection. It’s his inventory curse, and thus the term “hidden inventory”.
Just like in episode three, viewers get a brief respite from the violence for a little bit in between. And just when you start to worry that the second half might be a bummer, Satoru rises from the dead like a blue-eyed angel from hell and chases after Toji. That’s definitely not a spoiler at all. Since it’s a past timeline, we already know that Satoru is going to make it through whatever comes his way in this season, no matter how gory and crazy lethal things get! The episode also offers an intriguing insight into the power struggle between “ordinary humans versus sorcerers” and the role of religion in the world of Jujutsu Kaisen.
