On Thursday, July 13, at 11:56 pm JST, the second episode of season 2 of “Jujutsu Kaisen” was broadcasted on the MBS/TBS network in Japan. Approximately two hours later, the episode was simulcasted worldwide. Continuing from the first episode, this installment prominently introduced four characters: Toji Fushiguro, Shiu Kong, Misato Kuroi, and Riko Amanai.
In the preceding episode, Satoru Gojo and Suguru Geto, both second-year students at Jujutsu High, were assigned the mission to protect Riko Amanai, the Star Plasma Vessel. Riko is being pursued by soldiers from Organization Q and the Time Vessel Association, the latter of which attempted to recruit Toji Fushiguro.

Episode 2 of season 2 of “Jujutsu Kaisen,” titled “Hidden Inventory Part 2,” opens with Geto successfully defeating the Q soldier he was engaged in combat with. As the soldier boasts about their strongest warrior, Bayer, a text message from Gojo reveals that he has already defeated Bayer.
Riko Amanai, who was unconscious, regains consciousness and immediately confronts both sorcerers, provoking them. At that moment, Misato Kuroi, Riko’s caretaker, arrives on the scene. Riko appears to possess some grand but misguided beliefs about her fusion with Master Tengen, which leads to the following quote:
“I am Master Tengen, and Master Tengen is me.”

In another location, Shiu Kong encounters Toji Fushiguro at a racing arena and refers to him as the “Sorcerer Killer.” Toji loses a bet but assures Shiu Kong that he will fulfill the task at hand. Kong inquires about Megumi, but Toji cannot recall who he is. Later on, Toji publicly announces a 48-hour bounty on Riko’s life on the Jujutsu dark web. He utilizes the entire 30 million Yen reward he received from the Time Vessel Association for this purpose.
Toji explains to Kong that this bounty will attract numerous mediocre bounty hunters who will attack Riko, thereby exhausting Satoru Gojo and his allies. However, since Gojo is on their side, Riko will remain unharmed as Gojo is nearly invincible. When Shiu Kong questions whether Toji is capable of killing Gojo, the Sorcerer-Killer appears uncertain.

Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 Episode 2: Gojo and Geto’s first battles
In episode 2 of “Jujutsu Kaisen” season 2, the focus shifts to Riko’s school. Despite her circumstances, Riko insists on attending school, and Master Tengen wishes for her to experience a normal life as much as possible. Geto explains to Gojo the importance of allowing Riko to bid a proper farewell, but their conversation is interrupted by Kuroi, who reveals that Riko is an orphan. Geto, who had placed surveillance spirits around the school, becomes aware of the presence of enemies.
As they separate, Geto encounters an old user of Shikigami, whom he swiftly defeats using both his powers and intelligence. Meanwhile, Kuroi defeats an adversary with a broom while Geto discovers information about the bounty on Riko. In the meantime, Gojo locates Riko and impresses her classmates before taking her away. However, their escape is soon hindered by the same individual whom Kuroi had already defeated.
Gojo exposes the abilities of his adversary, who possesses the power to create multiple clones that encircle them. While Gojo easily safeguards Riko from harm, his attempt to employ Cursed Energy Reversal: Red fails, compelling him to rely on physical combat to overcome his opponent. However, their encounter takes an alarming turn when Riko receives a distressing message on her phone. The message reveals an image of Kuroi, who was last seen in “Jujutsu Kaisen” season 2 episode 2 alongside Geto, bound and gagged.
