The award presentation was made by American rapper Megan Thee Stallion who adds a fitting touch, given her well-known admiration for the series.

This season is divided into two parts. The first cour delves into the Past Arc of Gojo, adapting volumes eight and nine from the manga.
The second cour, the Shibuya Incident Arc, is a significant event that was built up from the first season and Jujutsu Kaisen 0 movie.
