A brief recap of Jujutsu Kaisen season 2 episode 7
In Jujutsu Kaisen season 2 episode 7, titled Evening Festival, Kokichi managed to destroy parts of Mahito’s soul before the latter cast his Domain Expansion. Kokichi defended against it with Simple Domain and managed to injure Mahito again. However, the Curse tricked Kokichi and killed the boy before leaving with Geto.
At 7 pm on October 31, 2018, a Curtain of 400-meter radius was cast around Shibuya that prevented civilian entry and exit. While sorcerers could move freely, all communications were cut off inside the barrier. The civilians demanded Satoru Gojo, who was instructed to work alone by the higher-ups.
Three teams were seen stationed outside the barrier: Nanami, Ino, and Megumi at Exit 13 of Shibuya Station; Naobito Zen'in, Maki, and Nobara at Shibuya Mark City; and Kusakabe and Panda at Jr. Shibuya Station’s new south entrance. They were told not to move in and Let Gojo work alone. At 8.31 pm, Satoru Gojo arrived at Shibuya.
What to expect in Jujutsu Kaisen season 2 episode 8
Given that episode 7 covered chapters 81 – 82 and most of chapter 83, Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 Episode 8 will likely cover the rest of chapter 83 and move on to chapters 84 - 85. According to the preview, the episode is titled Shibuya Incident, which presumably signals the beginning of the Shibuya Incident sub-arc, even though it had already begun in episode 7.
The episode will give a better clue about the people and curses stationed around and inside the barrier, as well as bring Yuji and Mei Mei back into the fray. Gojo’s battle with the curses will start off the continuous action of this arc. However, it will be quite some time before the other sorcerers become involved in this battle. The next episode should also be as fragmented as this one.
