The Shibuya arc is now being covered by Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2, and the episodes are structured quite differently from the original manga. Can fans thus anticipate an alternative conclusion to the manga? Here is all you need to know.
Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 To Have A Different Ending?
One of Gege Akutami’s main rules, which the anime series’ makers had to comply with, was not to use the same narrations from the manga series. Since there were fewer narrations from the manga in Season 1 of Jujutsu Kaisen, the season could adhere to this concept while being produced. However, there was a lot of narration in Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2, particularly in Episode 8 during Yuji and the grasshopper curse’s fight. So, in future episodes, fans may anticipate more inclusion of original narrations from the manga series.
However, will Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 see a different approach in the ending from the manga?
The anime series has deviated from the original manga series with certain additional scenes added, like in Episode 6 of the Hidden Inventory Arc. This episode featured anime-only scenes like Megumi, Yuji, and Nobara going on their way after the mission; Yuji mentioned the movie “Human Earthworm,” in contrast, the manga featured a single panel about this entire scenario. This episode also included a few scenes that tell the story of Yuko Ozawa, a character from Chapter 64 in the manga.
There were several other instances where the anime series took a completely different approach to create the anime-only scenes for Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2. Bringing in emotional undertones to several scenes that were more dramatic than in the manga series, such as the fight between Mechmaru and Mahito or Riko Amanai’s last moments.
The anime series may not take an entirely distinctive approach to the finale from the manga. However, fans may expect more additional changes in the anime series, as it was already decided before the start of the series, now that Season 2 has a new director and a character designer.
Final thoughts:
No matter how different the approach is for Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2, it has successfully captured every last bit of emotion for certain scenes to make it alive on the screen for the fans. The anime series may include more narrations from the manga series while adding unique sequences to the anime series; we believe this amalgamation would be perfect for the dark tone that Season 2 has.
