Season 2 will have the Gojo's Past arc and the start of the Shibuya Arc, thus there is a high chance of witnessing the presence of Yuichi Nakamura, voice actor for Satoru Gojo.

Other than that, Junya Enoki, the voice actor of Yuji Itadori; Asami Seto, the voice actor of Nobara Kugiasaki and Yuma Uchida, the voice actor of Megumi Fushiguro should be present as well, since they are the primary characters of the series.

Additionally, there is a good chance that fans may get to meet Toji's voice actor for the first time. The character has been making headlines online since the anime's first season was released, and now that his debut in the following season has been confirmed, the stage might be used to reveal his voice actor.

The presence of the voice actor of Geto, Takahiro Sakurai is uncertain because of the controversy surrounding the voice actor's name. The character, however, plays a crucial part in the upcoming arcs.
