The Finished Version of Sukuna vs. Mahoraga in Jujutsu Kaisen Blows Away Fans

Mar. 21, 2024



Sukuna vs. Mahoraga was one of the season-defining battles inJujutsu Kaisen season 2. While it’s undoubtedly one of the greatest fights we’ve seen in the series, it didn’t have remarkable animation quality throughout the episode. Fans expressed their concerns after the episode aired, and this was when the ongoing overworked nature of the animators at MAPPA Studios came to light.

Even one of the key animators made the statement that what we have seen was only“30% of the complete work.”This made us hope and wait for a complete version of the unfinished episodes, and that day is finally here. The new Blu-ray volumes of Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 are here with the finished versions of key scenes, and it has blown fans away.

Season 2 of the Jujutsu Kaisen anime remained as polished as ever with Gojo’s Past Arc in the first cour. However, while the animation at the start of the Shibuya Incident Arc was top-notch, it started to deteriorate with each passing episode. This was primarily due to the animators’ work situation at the MAPPA Studio, which led to the release of underdeveloped episodes that caused dissatisfaction among the fans.

One of the animators who worked in season 2 of the anime confirmed that the new Blu-ray release will feature“new cuts and completely rewritten cuts for episode 41.”

Along with many other fans, I’m awestruck by the wonders that animators did with Sukuna’s battles in the final release. I was pretty disappointed with the dip in quality when it was released. But now, I completely take back what I said earlier, and kudos to the animators for doing a marvelous job.

It is said that there were over fifty key animators who worked on these episodes, which is more than the number of people who worked on Jujutsu Kaisen 0 that introduced us toYuta Okkotsu. With a well-deserved second chance, the animators were able to do true justice to the manga, which is now being celebrated wholeheartedly by fans around the world. That said, what do you think about these new scenes? Let us know in the comments below.
