The latest episode brings closure to an arc delving into Gojo’s past, depicting his rise to become the strongest and Geto’s transformation into a major antagonist by embracing a path solely for sorcerers. This narrative explored the clash of their ideologies and friendship, and the episode handled it with gripping intrigue.
Gojo’s journey to become the most powerful sorcerer peaked as he mastered the Reversed Curse Technique. This technique allowed him to wield his Limitless ability while safeguarding his mind simultaneously. While Gojo begin on missions alone, Geto found himself in a similar position, ascending to the ranks of a Special Grade sorcerer.
A crucial moment in the episode was Geto’s monologue. After a year of consuming cursed spirits without respite, his health deteriorated significantly, depicted masterfully by Mappa. Geto’s encounter with another Special Grade sorcerer Yuki marked a turning point. Realizing the need to address the root cause of the cursed spirits, Geto formulated an idea: eradicate non-sorcerers to eliminate the emergence of cursed spirits.
Despite starting as a mere notion, Geto’s conviction in this idea grew stronger. His determination deepened after witnessing the tragic death of Haibara, who fell victim to the consequences of non-sorcerers worshipping cursed spirits to gain power. Geto, fueled by his beliefs, begin on a chilling mission, starting by murdering his parents, and vowing to eliminate all non-sorcerers.
With the narrative progressing from the events of the movie “Jujutsu Kaisen 0,” anticipation among fans is palpable for the upcoming arc.
However, it’s been revealed that the next episode will take some time to arrive. Mappa, the animation studio, is committed to delivering exceptional quality production, and they’re taking their time to ensure it meets those standards.
What Happened in Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 Episode 5
Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 Episode 5, titled “Premature Death,” explores into Suguru Geto’s backstory and sheds light on his complicated relationship with Satoru Gojo.
The episode takes us back to when Geto and Gojo were students at Jujutsu High. Geto showed exceptional promise but struggled with the plight of non-sorcerers falling victim to curses. He believed that eliminating all curses, even if it meant sacrificing non-sorcerers, was the only way to safeguard them.
Gojo, while valuing their friendship, disagreed with Geto’s approach. However, their camaraderie shattered when Geto committed a massacre of non-sorcerer villagers. His crime led to his sentencing, but he escaped as a curse user, turning to dark paths.
In the present, Geto meets Shoko Ieiri, a fellow Jujutsu High graduate. He reaffirms his mission to obliterate curses, urging Shoko to join him. She refuses, recognizing that Geto has veered off-course.
A confrontation between Geto and Satoru Gojo follows. Geto reveals his plan to spark a war between sorcerers and curses, challenging Gojo to intervene. While Gojo declines direct combat, he emphasizes he will never forgive Geto for his heinous acts.
The episode concludes with Geto leaving Jujutsu High, pledging to establish a world solely for sorcerers, starting with the Shibuya Incident.
The upcoming Shibuya Incident arc is a pivotal chapter in the Jujutsu Kaisen manga, lauded for its intense action and pivotal plot developments. As Geto reenters the storyline, this arc promises to be a significant turning point.
