‘Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2‘ is the much-awaited sequel to Gege Akutami’s popular manga, ‘Jujutsu Kaisen’. Jujutsu Kaisen is a world full of sorcerers and curses, and the storyline follows the main protagonist, Yuji Itadori who gets involved in the world of Jujutsu, after swallowing one of Ryomen Sukuna’s fingers.
As Fate has it, the teenager becomes a vessel to the ‘King of Curses’ with the consciousness of Ryomen Sukuna inside him. The series follows Yuji and his allies as they try to get rid of Sukuna once and for all. Season 2 will adapt from Gojo’s Past Arc, and will release on July 6, 2023.
In the world of Jujutsu Kaisen, Sorcerers and Curses are ranked by Grade. A Grade refers to the power scaling system that ranks Jujutsu Sorceres and Curses from Grade One to Four, and Special Grade. Here’s a look at some of the Strongest Characters, as per their Grade in Jujutsu Kaisen.
