The Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 Blu-ray version has fixed the most controversial episode, and fans can’t get enough of the new fight scenes.
Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 is one of the most popular series of 2023, with record-breaking Crunchyroll Anime Awards wins. The franchise has just released the Blu-ray DVDs of the Shibuya Incident arc, and fans are baffled by the extended fight in the most controversial episode of the season.
Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 Episode 17 attracted a lot of attention when news about it being an unfinished episode started circulating around. Not to mention that popular animator Vincent Chansard came as a guest animator for this specific episode to animate Sukuna vs Mahoraga.
He previously worked in a few iconic Wano Saga episodes, such as Zoro vs King and the Gear 5 fights. After Episode 17 of Season 2 was aired, the animator then immediately claimed that he would never work for MAPPA again.
The poor working conditions of the MAPPA animators aren’t a secret among anime fans. Hence, Jujutsu Kaisen fans had nothing but praise for the incredible episode. It currently ranks second on the IMDb episode list. Earlier this month, a popular JJK account confirmed that the Blu-ray version would revise the scene and will have an extended Sukuna vs. Mahoraga battle.
