Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 Episode 22 spoilers

The recent episode ends with a major cliffhanger with Kenjaku’s unexpected arrival – so here’s what will happen in Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 Episode 22.

Jujutsu Kaisen’s recent episode features Mahito’s “satisfying” end. After everything he has done, fans are enjoying his desperate state, where he’s crawling and running away from Yuji. It was difficult, but Yuji finally managed to get his revenge for Junpei, Nanami, Nobara, and countless innocent people who fell victim to Mahito’s brutality.

Even Aoi Todo, who holds Yuji dear, almost lost his life fighting against Mahito. Though Aoi barely saves his life, he loses his hand and technique in the process. Even though he still has his cursed energy, he can no longer fight powerful opponents without his Boogie Woogie.

However, he still lends Yuji his final support and helps him defeat the villain. As Yuji chases Mahito after defeating him, the two come across Kenjaku, who was supposed to be looking over the Prison Realm that has sealed Satoru Gojo. Kenjaku asks Mahito if he should save him, but is the ancient curse user kind enough to do that? Here’s a look at the release date & spoilers for Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 Episode 22. Warning – spoilers ahead!

Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 Episode 22 preview and spoilers

Kenjaku isn’t kind enough to help anyone, and Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 Episode 22 proves that as the villain targets his close ally. Kenjaku gloats at Mahito’s pathetic state. However, as soon as Yuji sees the ancient curse user, he demands to have his Gojo sensei back.

However, Kenjaku brutally attacks the young sorcerer. He also brags about Geto’s Cursed Spirit Manipulation, saying the latter would’ve defeated Yuta if his forces hadn’t been divided in Tokyo and Kyoto.

Nonetheless, Yuji doesn’t care about any of that and desperately tries to get Gojo back from the villain’s clutches. On the other hand, Mahito thinks Kenjaku is off-guard and attacks him. The curse also knows that Kenjaku lied about Gojo refusing to budge from Shibuya after getting sealed. Kenjaku absorbs Mahito and starts revealing his goals to Yuji.

Using curses only semi-grade 1 or higher, Kenjaku plans to extract the full potential of Geto’s “Uzumaki.” However, he is soon ambushed by students from Kyoto. Miwa uses a Binding Vow, which will grant her immense strength at the price of never being able to use her Katana again. However, her sacrifice amounts to nothing when Kenjaku easily breaks her sword.

Kusakabe and every other sorcerer come to fight the villain. Even Choso arrives at the scene and realizes Kenjaku is the stain of the Kamo Clan, Noritoshi Kamo, who committed several atrocities over a century ago. He is furious at Kenjaku trying to kill his little brother Yuji. Amid his desperate attempt to protect his brother, Choso encounters Uraume, Sukuna’s loyal servant.
