Fans of Jujutsu Kaisen are undoubtedly thrilled with anticipation after watching the second season finale. One of the biggest anime series of 2023 has finally come to an end with the series finale. The second season finale of Jujutsu Kaisen, titled Shibuya Incident – Gate, Close, brings the series to a close and unveils several mysteries and plot twists.
With the debut of Yuta Okkotsu in episode 23 of season 2, which debuted on December 28, 2023, there has been a lot of talk in the anime community. From his introduction to his contempt for killing Yuji Itadori, Yuta surely knows how to make an entrance and leave his impact even in the last episode of the season.
Fans are truly excited about what the future holds for the character in the series and what his plans are regarding Yuji Itadori. However, not only Yuta, but MAPPA also knows how to excite fans with their fan-favorite character as they changed their iconic opening for Yuta even in the last episode, marking their dedication towards Jujutsu Kaisen.
Yuta Okkotsu’s Entry in Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2
Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2’s last episode leaves a lot of questions unsolved. However, those concerns pale in comparison to the anticipation aroused by Yuta Okkotsu’s appearance in the last episode. Once scared and reserved, Yuta has grown into a self-assured Jujutsu practitioner while maintaining a high level of compassion for those around him.
Yuta has returned to Japan and is seeking Yuji’s blood. The fact that Sukuna’s outburst caused his friend Toge Inumaki to lose an arm makes Yuta feel resentful towards Yuji Itadori. The return of one of the most adored characters in the series, who hasn’t appeared since Jujutsu Kaisen 0, has left fans in awe and disbelief and they can’t wait to see his performance in the next season of the series which is already announced.
Also, one more aspect of the finale episode adds more excitement to the arrival of Yuta Okkotsu in Jujutsu Kaisen, and that is his inclusion in the iconic opening theme song of the series, even for the last episode.

Yuta Makes An Appearance in the Opening Theme
One final notable alteration made by MAPPA to the series was the removal of Shoko Ieiri’s sequence and the addition of a scene starring Yuta Okkotsu in the opening song of the Jujutsu Kaisen season 2 finale of the series.
Although many fans might not have noticed at first, die-hard Jujutsu Kaisen were able to identify Yuta’s sword-wielding moment in the series and expressed their admiration for both the character and MAPPA. Yuta’s appearance in the opening scene marks the importance of the character in the story and in that particular episode too as it majorly focuses on his entry in the storyline and his urge to kill Yuji Itadori.
Fans are excited to see what the future holds for the character in Jujutsu Kaisen and looking at the level of entry he made in the series, he surely would be a crucial character in the forthcoming season of Jujutsu Kaisen that features the Culling game arc of the series.
