Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 English Dubs have been the victim of several delays. These delays have pissed off fans as they voiced their disappointment on social media. Many people complain that less popular anime series, such as Reborn as Vending Machine and Masamune-kun’s Revenge R, are dubbed immediately, whereas popular ones, like JJK, take too long. So what is the reason behind this? Are there any licensing conflicts involved? Let us explore the same in this post.
Why Are Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 English Dubs Delayed For 2 weeks?
When Crunchyroll gets the materials early enough, they can dub the vast majority of episodes before the series premiere in Japan, allowing for same-day dubs. In most cases, it takes a good amount of time to acquire this source material.
I can't wait to watch the new season of #JujutsuKaisen !!! Only thing is I have to wait for the English dub 😭 Hope it's soon.

The dubbing company receives the episode a week before its release. The sub-episodes are recorded, scripted, and audio-mastered for several weeks. It is extremely hard for the dubbing company to finish all the work within a few days. Most of these companies manage dubbing for multiple projects. Hence, a gap of a few days becomes a necessity to reduce the pressure.
Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 English Dubs Delay Reason
When the dubbing company gets the episode, the scriptwriters convert the original scripts to English dialogue. Afterwards, the voice actors begin recording, and then the post-production is done to ensure that everything is perfect.
If there is even a minor delay in any of these processes, the entire dubbing could be affected. Consequently, many dubbing companies take a break of at least two weeks. This is done to improve efficacy and ensure that the dubbing is flawless. Therefore, some of you may find the delay annoying, but such decisions ultimately benefit the audience in the long term. A few years ago, fans used to wait for months to watch the English dub of their favourite anime. Today, dubbing is done much more quickly than in the past.
Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 Episode 6 English Dub will be released on September 14, 2023, on Crunchyroll at 1:30 p.m. PT/4:30 p.m. ET.
