Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 Episode 15 Recap

In Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 Episode 17, titled “Thunderclap, Part 2”, Megumi explained to Shigemo that no Ten Shadows sorcerer has been able to exorcise the strongest Shikigami, Mahoraga. Megumi summons Mahoraga in an exorcism ritual that includes Shigemo, and thus the ritual is rendered null and void.

A flashback shows Satoru telling Megumi how a Gojo family head with Six Eyes and Limitless had fought a Zen'in family head with the Ten Shadows, and they both died. He implied that in time, Megumi would be powerful enough to kill Gojo, but the boy knew it would only be through Mahoraga.

In the present, after being summoned, Mahoraga kills Megumi, who remains in a state of suspended death. Sukuna senses that Megumi is in danger, and comes to save him, understanding quickly that Mahoraga’s power is the ability to adapt to any attack. Sukuna unleashes a Domain that stops just before where Megumi is and exorcizes Mahoraga.

This will later be known as the Shibuya Incident. After Mahoraga is defeated and Megumi is transported to Shoko, Sukuna gives back control to Yuji, who is horrified by the developments. In a post-credit scene, Kento Nanami is seen walking aimlessly, his body half-burned.


What to Expect from Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 Episode 18

Episode 15 adapted the entirety of chapters 117 – 119, and the first few pages of chapter 120. Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 Episode 18 is expected to cover the rest of chapter 120, and chapters 121 - 124, depicting one of the two major deaths in the Shibuya Incident arc. If Mappa is particularly heartless, then the episode might cover chapter 125 as well, which would feature the second major death.

According to the preview, Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 Episode 18 is titled “Right and Wrong (理非 / Rihi)”. From the scenes shown in the precap, the episode would likely focus on Yuji Itadori’s battle against Mahito and his mindset after the Shibuya Massacre. Nanami will also have a role to play in episode 18.
