Critics often highlight the intense fight sequences and dynamic visuals as the main attractions of this anime. However, some fans in Japan have voiced criticism regarding certain "original animation" choices (アニオリ - aniori) in Season 3, particularly concerning the opening animation and character movements, which they feel deviate from the manga's atmosphere or are "too exaggerated".

Here are 5 most highlighted scenes from JUJUTSU KAISEN Season 3 Episode 2

1. Synopsis

Episode 2 of "Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3", also known as the 49th episode of the overall series, is titled (Once Again) and premiered on January 8, 2026, as part of a double feature alongside Episode 1. This episode continues the direct narrative from Episode 1, focusing on the impact of the Shibuya Incident and Yuji Itadori's deep struggle with guilt.

Most of this episode features an intense confrontation between Naoya Zenin and Choso. This fight highlights Naoya's incredible speed, making it difficult for Choso to keep up, resulting in a rather one-sided battle. Meanwhile, Yuji, Megumi, Yuta, Maki, and Choso work together on a crucial mission to find Tengen.

They successfully locate the door leading to Tengen's location, but upon entering the area, they are greeted by an empty white space. Yuki Tsukumo interprets this as a sign of rejection from Tengen. Nevertheless, Tengen eventually appears from behind them, marking a crucial moment in the storyline's development.

Amidst this mission, Yuji is seen grappling with profound guilt over the Shibuya Incident. He tries to keep his distance from Megumi, worried that his presence might endanger Megumi due to Sukuna's interest in him. However, Choso provides emotional support to Yuji, encouraging him not to give up and to keep fighting.

3. Megumi Fushiguro's Tactics

Megumi's emergence in explaining the Culling Game signifies that this death game is not merely a display of power among its participants. More than that, it requires mature strategy and cunning to survive and win it.

4. Yuta Okotsu VS Yuji Itadori

The fight between Yuta and Yuji is the main highlight of the episode. Their battle is not just physical but also filled with emotional pressure because Yuta has a mission to execute Yuji while knowing that Yuji is Gojo's student, just like him.

The end of their fight remains unresolved in episode 1. However, it is certain that the scene of their battle is described as "very tactical and intense", even highlighting strategy and the use of high-level curse techniques.

5. Heroes Ensemble

In this episode, we will see the remaining sorcerers gathering strength and devising strategies to free Gojo Satoru and also win the Culling Game.

6. Meeting with Tengen

At the end of episode 2, our heroes will meet the figure of Tengen. With Gojo sealed away and Principal Yaga gone, our heroes seem to have lost clues on how to act.

The meeting with Tengen is expected to unravel the tangled problems at hand.
