How fans anticipate the release of the Shibuya Incident Arc

The Shibuya Incident Arc is one of the most popular arcs in the Jujutsu Kaisen series. Since fans have been waiting for its adaptation for quite a long time, many fans cannot believe it is only three weeks away now. Additionally, fans love how the anime promotes the arc. The anime teased the arc's opening theme song and announced its adaptation in Jump's GIGA magazine.

Following the anime adaptation of the Hidden Inventory arc, the series' fans were sure they would be able to see something special during the Shibuya Incident arc. Additionally, the anime studio did not rush the adaptation. Instead, it scheduled a three-week break between the two arcs to provide some final touches to the long-awaited arc possibly.

That said, not every Jujutsu Kaisen fan reacted similarly to the oncoming arc's start. While several fans shared their favorite manga panels from the upcoming arc, hoping to see it soon, others were devastated by what is to come.

The Shibuya Incident arc is considered to be mayhem in the series. Hence, fans still haven't been able to ready themselves. The fans who had already read the manga knew what would happen. Regardless, they feared watching the same in the anime. While they did want to watch the upcoming arc, the fans did not want to go through what they did while reading the manga.
