Adapted from Gege Akutami’s best selling manga, the first of Jujutsu Kaisen second season’s two consecutive cours is set to kick off with the adaptation of the Hidden Inventory/Premature Death arc.
Set in 2006, the Hidden Inventory/Premature Death arc follows then-second year Tokyo Jujutsu High students Satorou Gojo (CV: Yuichi Nakamura -Andy in Undead Unluck) and Suguru Geto (CV: Takahiro Sakurai Diablo in That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime) as the two are tasked with escorting an important ally – an individual known as the Star Plasma Vessel – to meet with the Jujutsu Society’s leader, Master Tengan.
However, their mission ends up going expectedly awry when two enemy organizations – Group Q and the Time Vessel Association – attempt to prevent this meeting from ever happening.
