No, Geto didn’t save Mahito in the Shibuya Arc. Itadori initially emerged victorious in his fight with Mahito. But Suguru Geto, or Kenjaku, suddenly appeared before Mahito and offered to save him. However, instead, he used his Cursed Spirit Manipulation technique to absorb him. So, Itadori’s revenge wasn’t fulfilled.
Did Geto Finally Save Mahito in the Shibuya Arc?
Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 has been an exhilarating rollercoaster ride for fans of the series, filled with intense battles and emotional moments.
One of the standout episodes was undoubtedly episode 20, where the rivalry between Yuji Itadori and the formidable Cursed Spirit, Mahito, reached its peak.
In the past few episodes, Mahito had emerged as Yuji Itadori’s worst enemy.
Witnessing the tragic demise of his comrades, Kento Nanami and Nobara Kugisaki, shattered Itadori’s resolve, leaving him on the brink of despair.
However, a glimmer of hope arrived in the form of Aoi Todo, who swooped in during episode 20, saving Itadori from certain death. Todo’s arrival served as a much-needed motivator, urging Itadori not to back down and to continue the fight.
The ensuing battle between Itadori, Todo, and Mahito became the highlight of the Shibuya arc.
It was a clash of titans, filled with breathtaking moments that kept fans on the edge of their seats. One such moment was when Todo lost his hand during the fight but refused to yield.
His determination allowed Itadori to gain the upper hand, overpowering Mahito and inflicting significant damage with devastating attacks known as black flashes.
After a long and brutal battle, Itadori emerged victorious, standing tall and ready to avenge his fallen comrades.
However, a twist of fate intervened as Suguru Geto, also known as Kenjaku, suddenly appeared before Mahito. Geto offered to save Mahito, jeopardizing Itadori’s quest for revenge.
The subsequent episode, which adapted chapter 133 of the manga, revealed Geto’s overwhelming power as he quickly overpowered Itadori with a horde of Cursed Spirits at his disposal.
Geto then turned his attention to Mahito, effortlessly dodging Mahito’s attacks and ultimately absorbing him using his Cursed Spirit Manipulation technique.
With this act, Geto effectively ended Mahito’s existence, leaving Itadori without the satisfaction of complete revenge.
Throughout the series, Mahito had proven himself to be a formidable antagonist, relentlessly tormenting Itadori.
After defeating him, Itadori realized that he shared similarities with Mahito.
He solemnly promised to hunt down Mahito no matter how he might return, whether as another curse, under a different name, or in a changed form.
This poignant moment in the anime marked the culmination of their long and bitter rivalry, earning it a well-deserved place among the season’s best moments.
Fans eagerly await episode 22, which is scheduled to air in Japan on Thursday, December 21, at midnight Japanese Standard Time (JST). For international viewers, Crunchyroll will simulcast the episode at 9 a.m. Pacific Time (PDT), 11 a.m. Central Time (CT), and 12 p.m.
Eastern Time (EST). UK fans can catch it at 17:00 British Summer Time (BST). While the release date for the dubbed version remains unknown, it is expected to premiere on Crunchyroll or Funimation later.
As we approach the end of Season 2, it’s clear that the Shibuya Incident arc has been a pivotal and brutal turning point for the series.
The epic battles, character development, and emotional depth have made this season a memorable experience for fans of Jujutsu Kaisen.
With the arc’s conclusion on the horizon, viewers can only anticipate what lies ahead for Itadori and his fellow Jujutsu sorcerers in the ever-evolving world of curses and sorcery.
