Episode Count and Season Structure
Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 comprises 23 episodes. The season is split into two broadcast parts: Cursed Clash (episodes 112), which aired in July 2023, and Shibuya Incident (episodes 1323), which aired from October to December 2023. This structure follows the manga’s Shibuya Incident arc and provides a continuous progression with minimal recap for returning viewers.
Why Episode Numbering Can Cause Confusion
Confusion often arises because some platforms relabel episode numbering for each cour or omit special episodes from counts. Additionally, the OVA Jujutsu Kaisen 0 is a separate prequel story and not included in Season 2’s episode tally. Season 1 had 24 episodes, making Season 2 slightly shorter, while Season 3 is expected to adapt a denser story stretch and may exceed 23 episodes.
Cursed Clash (Episodes 112) Overview
Cursed Clash continues immediately after the events of Season 1, focusing on Nobara’s mission to the Zenin family and the escalating stakes in the jujutsu world. The arc introduces new techniques, deepens character dynamics, and sets up the large-scale conflict that defines the Shibuya Incident portion of the season.
Key Plot Beats in Cursed Clash

Where to Watch and Binge Strategy
Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 is available on major streaming platforms that hold the series license. For viewers new to the series, watching episodes in release order preserves narrative impact, while binge-watching the 23-episode arc can maintain momentum during the Shibuya Incident climax.
How to Track Episode Order Across Platforms
Discrepancies in platform numbering happen when special episodes or recaps are treated as separate items. To stay on track, refer to episode titles that include the arc name (e.g., "Cursed Clash #07" or "Shibuya Incident #18") and air dates. This ensures you follow the intended story progression without accidentally skipping key developments.
