Will Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 Episode 21 take us out of the depresso zone?

As we head into the last three episodes of Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2, its last episode set the stage for a major showdown. Today's Episode 21 seems poised to focus on the battle between Jujutsu Sorcerers Yuji and Todo and the Cursed Spirit Mahito, possibly bringing this longstanding conflict to a close.

What we have seen so far

• After the shocking events in episode 19 at Shibuya, Yuji faced a tough fight with Mahito in episode 20. 
• Mahito unleashed his deadly Black Flash technique, but luckily, Todo and Arrata, friends from the Kyoto school, stepped in to save Yuji. 
• Arrata even gave Yuji a bit of hope, suggesting that Nobara might still be alive.

• Todo encouraged Yuji, reminding him that the sorcerers in Shibuya knew the risks. This motivated Yuji, and together with Todo, they intensified their battle against Mahito.

Mahito has the upper hand

• The last episode showed Mahito using Soul Multiplicity and Body Repel to attack Yuji and Todo with transformed souls, limiting their movement in the battlefield.
• This suggests that the Cursed Spirit might have the upper hand in the final battle against the Jujutsu Sorcerers.
• Despite being at a disadvantage against Yuji and Todo, Mahito is likely to use a new technique.
• Preview images indicate that he's creating a new ally from the collected souls.

• This new ally could be a tough challenge, pushing Yuji and Todo to their limits, even with them using 120% of their latent potential.

Can Yuji avenge his friends?

• The much-anticipated showdown between Yuji Itadori and Mahito, hinted at since the anime's beginning, is shaping up for a one-on-one battle. 
• If something unfortunate happens to Todo, it could fuel Yuji's determination to defeat Mahito, potentially giving him the upper hand.

• As the anime season nears its end and Kenjaku-Geto has been missing for a while, there's a good chance he'll make a comeback in the next episode and help Mahito out. 

Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 Episode 21 titled 'Metamorphosis' will stream tonight (December 14, 2023) on Netflix.
