JUJUTSU KAISEN SEASON 2 SPARKS CONTROVERSY AFTER GETTING MISLABELED ON ANILIST

With less than 20 days remaining until the premiere of Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2, fans‘ anticipation has reached new heights. The continuous release of captivating key visuals has only amplified their excitement.

However, amidst this wave of enthusiasm, fans have been thrown into a frenzy by Anilist’s classification of Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 as „Drama.“ Naturally, many fans voiced their demand for the website to accurately categorize the show.

Jujutsu Kaisen, as a shonen series, delves into intense action and dark fantasy, with its characters possessing supernatural abilities. While the narrative explores emotional relationships and a mysterious subplot, fans find it difficult to accept the labeling of the upcoming Season 2 as „Drama.“ This genre is typically associated with emotionally-driven narratives and highly dramatized events.

However, some fans have offered an explanation for Anilist’s categorization of Season 2 as „Drama.“ They point to the relationship dynamics between Satoru Gojo and Suguru Geto, which will be depicted in the upcoming season. Amidst this discussion, an edited picture gained traction, falsely depicting the first season being listed under the „Boy’s Love“ category.

Although the edited image caused a stir, some fans noted that Anilist previously had a category for LGBTQ+ themes in anime. Furthermore, while the two characters in question consider each other best friends, there have been no romantic implications between them. Given the current stage of the story, these characters find themselves on opposing sides of the law, further complicating their relationship.

The listing controversy surrounding Jujutsu Kaisen as „Drama“ on Anilist has caused quite a commotion among fans. However, amidst this fiasco, fans are eagerly anticipating the upcoming Season 2, which is set to be a 2-cour season. This means that the season will adapt two significant arcs from the manga, further heightening fans‘ excitement.

The first part of Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 will focus on the Gojo’s Past arc, delving into the backstory of the character. Meanwhile, the second part of the season will tackle the Shibuya Incident arc, an intense and pivotal storyline in the series.

During the recent Jujutsu Kaisen stage at the Mappa Stage 2023 event, a new trailer was unveiled, confirming the adaptation of the Shibuya Incident arc in the latter part of the season. This trailer provided fans with tantalizing glimpses of the major events to come, igniting further discussions and adding to the anticipation surrounding the series.
