English Dub Review: Jujutsu Kaisen “Hidden Inventory”

Overview:

The jujutsu sorcerers, Utahime Iori, and Mei Mei, are dispatched to an ominous manor where several people have gone missing. They infiltrate the manor and attempt to destroy the cursed spirit’s barrier, but suddenly the building starts to crumble.

Our Take:

Looks like this season of Jujutsu Kaisen is going to be a prequel, which if you watched the movie you’d know definitely isn’t a bad thing. I do have to say that Studio Mappa has to be super busy, they have this, it was just announced they’re teaming up with Shinichiro Watanabe (director of Cowboy Bebop), and they got Attack on Titan to wrap up (when is that getting dubbed by the way?). I just hope they keep doing amazing, which if this episode is anything to go by is something we don’t need to worry about.

If I’m not mistaken this season is going to show us exactly what happened between Gojou and Getou to turn them from best friends into enemies. I have to say that Gojou is also way different than how he behaves in later years. Sure he’s always been a silly guy but it looks like in the past he was really cocky. Knowing he’s better than everyone and even threatening to kill someone like it was nothing.

With Mappa you know we’re getting top-tier animation and I love Kaiji Tang as Gojou. The storyline for this season could be really fantastic. I’m going to miss the typical crew but Gojou is a fan favorite for a reason.
