Jujutsu Kaisen season 2 pushes the story into darker, heavier territory, reshaping the power balance across the entire sorcerer world.
In exploring who dies in Jujutsu Kaisen season 2, it becomes clear that the Hidden Inventory and Shibuya Incident arcs leave little room for reprieve.
Each confrontation redefines the stakes, cutting down characters who once felt untouchable and forcing others into impossible decisions.
The season doesn’t just escalate the action; it rewrites the emotional landscape of the narrative. By the time the dust settles, the question isn’t just who died—but who might still have a chance to return.
Who dies in Jujutsu Kaisen season 2
Season 2 begins by returning to the Hidden Inventory arc, a key event from Satoru Gojo and Suguru Geto’s past. Their assignment to protect Riko Amanai establishes the roles of the Star Religious Group, the Time Vessel Association, and Toji Fushiguro—all of whom shape the conflicts that follow.
This arc explains how Gojo reaches his peak strength and how Geto’s ideology fractures, setting the stage for events that unfold years later.
The season then moves into the Shibuya Incident, where Kenjaku’s group and the special-grade curses carry out a coordinated plan to neutralize Gojo and trigger widespread chaos. This operation draws in multiple clans, Grade 1 sorcerers, and civilians, resulting in some of the highest casualties in the series.
Together, these two arcs outline the chain of events that lead to every confirmed death in season 2.

Jujutsu Kaisen characters who are not confirmed dead in Jujutsu Kaisen season 2
Jujutsu Kaisen season 2 features several characters who experience severe injuries or disappear from the story without a confirmed outcome. These individuals are not listed among the season’s confirmed deaths, but the anime does not provide enough information to determine their final status.
Kuroi Misato
Misato is captured before the escort mission but is successfully rescued by Gojo, Geto, and Riko. After returning to Tokyo, she helps bring Riko into the facility during Toji’s attack.
Toji confronts her moments later, and inflicts a fatal-looking wound, but the anime does not show her death or address her condition afterward. Her survival remains unconfirmed.
Satoru Gojo
Gojo is sealed during the Shibuya Incident when Kenjaku activates the Prison Realm. He is fully conscious but immobilized as the Realm closes around him, removing him from the battlefield.
Since sealing is not a death, Gojo’s status is classified as contained rather than deceased. Season 2 does not revisit him after his imprisonment.
Nobara Kugisaki
Nobara is struck directly by Mahito’s Idle Transfiguration, causing catastrophic facial damage. Yuji assumes she has died, but Arata Nitta arrives shortly after and applies emergency treatment, stating that she still has a chance to survive, but her outlook is uncertain.
The anime does not reveal whether she recovers, leaving her condition unresolved.
Ino Takuma
Ino is overpowered by Toji—who is controlling Ogami’s grandson’s body—and suffers severe injuries that render him unable to continue fighting. He is later shown alive under medical care, confirming that he survives the initial attack.
However, the extent of his recovery and his long-term condition are not addressed in season 2.
