Of course, the director kept mum on any details about Maki’s role in season three, but manga readers know what is in store. In the wake of the Shibuya Incident arc, Maki is forced to revisit the Zenin Clan compound to hunt for a weapon. While there, Maki reunites with her twin Mai, and the pair are left to face their family head on. The ensuing conflict is one of the most intense in Jujutsu Kaisen, and Maki’s arc takes a sharp turn by the end.
As you can imagine, Goshozono is eager to bring Maki’s adventure to life, and it will be an emotional one for fans. By the end of season two, the status quo of Jujutsu Kaisen is in shambles, and things are only going to get rockier from here on out. So if you are not caught up with the series, don’t fret.
