Jujutsu Kaisen season 2 episode 18 focuses on the death of the character Nanami in the first half of the episode, while the second half features Yuji’s fight with Mahito. After witnessing Nanami being blown to pieces, Yuji was extremely angry, hurt, and disappointed.
Yuji reached his breaking point after Sukuna destroyed the entire Shibuya ward. To make matters worse, Yuji also witnessed Nanami’s passing just a few minutes later. Mahito took advantage of Yuji’s pain and tried to mentally break him during the fight.
Like most episodes of Jujutsu Kaisen season 2, this week also features some anime-only scenes that were not in the original manga. However, one of those scenes completely shocked fans with how strange it was.
Jujutsu Kaisen fans were shocked by strange details in the anime Jujutsu Kaisen season 2
During the fight scene between Yuji and Mahito, there was a moment that caught Jujutsu Kaisen fans’ attention. That’s when Mahito leaned in to kiss Yuji, but his mouth quickly turned into a blade and crashed into the wall. Of course, Mahito’s mouth should have stabbed Yuji, but Yuji was lucky to avoid it. Mahito’s curse technique allows him to transform and control his own body shape as well as others at will.
Naturally, fans were shocked by this moment and shared it on social media. They were basically joking about a scene they had never seen in the manga. One netizen shared: “Mahito saw the trauma Sukuna left on Yuji and decided to take advantage of him by trying to kiss Yuji.”
Another person left a comment: “Mahito has one of the most creative fighting styles, what he does is unique, especially when he tried to kiss Yuji.”
One fan even joked about Yuta Okkotsu in the manga: “If this happens to Yuta, maybe he will kiss Mahito again.”
Someone else commented that: “Mahito actually tried to cheer Yuji up with a kiss, I mean a jab, closing his eyes and everything. What a threat.”
Yuji’s fight with Mahito itself was very elaborately staged in the Jujutsu Kaisen anime, as one fan shared: “I think I’ve watched this scene about 20 times now and I still can’t believe how perfect the animation is. First, Yuji’s scream and then the way Mahito screams ‘ITADORI YUUUJII ‘ perfect.”
