Jujutsu Kaisen’s long-awaited Season 2 trailer dropped, but fans of the anime are calling out MAPPA for spoiling a key part of the story in the trailer.
Jujutsu Kaisen is one of the most popular manga series right now, and that popularity extended to the anime when the first season was airing. Along with other series like My Hero Academia and Black Clover, it’s a defining part of modern Shonen beyond the “Big 3” era.
However, the manga is extremely far ahead of the anime. People have known what happens where the anime leaves off for years now if they’ve been keeping up with the manga. But, for people relying solely on the anime, there are a ton of surprises ahead.
That said, the trailer may have given away a bit too much. Fans of the series who aren’t caught up yet feel like they’ve been spoiled by the trailer, with some key plot details being revealed. We’ll only be spoiling what’s shown in the trailer, but small spoiler warning ahead if you haven’t seen it.

And, for those reading the manga that know what’s coming, they know Season 2 has a lot of surprises in store, especially with MAPPA at the helm. Manga readers dunking on the “anime-onlys” is a trend within the JJK community, and there’s a lot coming that’ll change the way fans look at their favorite characters – especially in the Shibuya arc.
However, Jujutsu Kaisen fans are complaining about one part of the trailer in particular that, in their eyes, spoiled a fight that’s a pivotal part of the story.
A brief clip in the trailer shows fan-favorite character Gojo getting stabbed in the neck. Fans of the anime who don’t have context and manga readers who do have united to point out that this is a bit of a spoiler, and something that has put a damper on some fans’ hype for the upcoming season.
Not to mention, with how much of a fan-favorite character Gojo is, seeing him get injured so badly has certainly bummed out some fans.
