The structural schedule for this season outlines a continuous six-month broadcast, divided into two quarters or "cours," as they are referred to in the anime industry. The plot of this season revolves around two main storylines from Gege Akutami's manga: "Hidden Inventory / Premature Death" and the "Shibuya Incident."
A brief summary of what awaits us in the new season:
The narrative is a retrospective journey back to the spring of 2006, tracing the past of two central characters—Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru. Both are entrusted with a dual mission by Tengen, a revered immortal within the Jujutsu Brotherhood, and are regarded as unparalleled Jujutsu sorcerers. Their primary objective is to protect and subsequently eliminate the "Star Plasma Vessel," identified as Amanai Riko. During this mission, their path is obstructed by an assassin named Fushiguro, whose sole aim is to destroy the Star Plasma Vessel.
