The ongoing production challenges plaguing Jujutsu Kaisen are intensifying concerns about the fate of Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2, with fans speculating the possibility of cancellation. The controversies surrounding MAPPA’s alleged working conditions have escalated, prompting several animators to express their distress on social media.
While the recent episode showcases remarkable fight sequences, it is evident that the production was not completed before airing. Although there’s a chance that the issues might be addressed in the Blu-ray version, the episode broadcasted in Japan and currently available for streaming online only represents 30% of the intended vision.
Given the recent MAPPA controversy, fans are apprehensive about the potential of Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 going on hiatus or, in a worst-case scenario, being canceled. Let’s explore whether there is any validity to these concerns.
Will Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 Go On Hiatus Or Get Canceled?
While rumors persist, there has been no official announcement regarding the cancellation or hiatus of Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2.
A tweet from one user suggested, “Jjk s2 might be canceled or delayed! Jujutsu Kaisen’s Shibuya Arc Production Staff has abandoned their duties due to Horrible Work Conditions!! Jujutsu Kaisen’s Shibuya Arc Production Staff were denied a break!!” Another user expressed concerns about the anime industry, stating, “Maybe the anime industry needs to move to the US & build a better work environment with stability & have a union cuz animators’ health is important. It’s a shame to see one of our favorite animes get canceled. There shouldn’t be any rush.”
A Twitch streamer added to the speculation, declaring, “Jujutsu Kaisen ON HIATUS due to Mappa mistreatment of animators! Join us on stream for more!”
In support of the animators, a user shared, “As much as I love Jujutsu Kaisen, I really hope it goes on hiatus for the sake of the animation team… Mappa needs to give the animators more time with a healthy schedule… I could tell by these last couple of episodes that something wasn’t right. Respect the animators.”
Despite the concerns and speculations, Jujutsu Kaisen remains one of the year’s most popular series, and the narrative continues to intensify. With six episodes remaining in Season 2, fans can anticipate each one surpassing the previous. Therefore, amidst the rumors, enthusiasts can relax and enjoy the upcoming episodes.
