When it comes to the most dramatic and haunting story arcs, we cannot help but mention the Shibuya Arc summary - a fateful milestone that completely changed the situation of the Jujutsu world. This is not only a tragic milestone, but also a moment that shaped the entire later part of the story. Let's review with Hobiverse the main developments of this classic story arc!
Shibuya Arc Summary – When Darkness Swallows Tokyo
Summary The Shibuya Arc begins on Halloween night, a scene that was originally cheerful and bustling suddenly turns into a bloody battlefield. The villains carefully planned, taking advantage of the chaos of the crowd and special-grade Cursed Spirits. Innocent people were trapped by the curse barriers and the Cursed Spirits were forced into a real battle for survival.
Behind it all is Kenjaku – a mysterious and ruthless character who plans to seal Satoru Gojo, and unleash a series of curses that will destroy the city. The Shibuya Arc is not just a battle but a gradual collapse of faith, where the characters are pushed to the limit and have to face real loss.

Gojo is sealed – The arc's terrifying turn
The focal point of the Shibuya Arc is Gojo being sealed in the Gate of Hell. Kenjaku used a very cunning tactic, taking advantage of Gojo's emotions when he met his late friend Geto again. Despite possessing almost unrivaled power, Gojo was helpless to watch Shibuya fall into chaos, a heartbreaking scene and a great shock to both the Jujutsu Masters and the fans.
Gojo is sealed – the shocking turning point of the Shibuya Arc
Without Gojo, the balance of power tilts heavily towards the villains. Fans cannot help but feel helpless and disappointed. The guardian deity of the Jutsu world may be imprisoned, but why is the loss so terrible?
Death Returns – Bloody survival game
Immediately after sealing Gojo, Kenjaku launched Death Return – a brutal game that forces Jutsu users and curses to participate in a battle for survival. Each player must fight, calculate, and survive to gain points and avoid being wiped out.
From here, the tension begins to build. The main characters are pushed into battles for survival. Without Gojo's protection, they are forced to rely on themselves and face the choice of sacrifice.
Sukuna Rises - Absolute Destruction
When Yuji Itadori was forced to eat 10 of Sukuna's fingers, the Cursed King briefly took control of Yuji's body. Sukuna's return was a nightmare. He did not hesitate to use the Malevolent Shrine to level a large part of Shibuya, causing terrible casualties among both Cursed Spirits and innocent humans.
All hopes for Nguyen Vuong's "reform" are shattered from here!
Loss and emotional shock
It's impossible to summarize the Shibuya Arc without leaving out the most heartbreaking part: the sacrifice of a series of important characters.
The sudden departure of Nanami Kento, and the ambiguous fate of Nobara Kugisaki, one of the three main characters, has caused a heated debate among fans. Will Nobara return in Season 3? Fans have realized that no character is “main”, no one is guaranteed to survive, which is the nature of Shibuya.

Yuji Itadori and growth in pain
The Shibuya Arc also marks a major turning point in character development. Our Yuji is forced to watch his friends fall, pained by his own weakness.
Megumi and Maki also face challenges that exceed their limits. They are forced to fight with all their might, develop their skills, and make difficult decisions. This arc is a major turning point in their growth as they face the cruelty of the wizarding world without Gojo's protection.
It can be said that the Shibuya Arc is the focus of Jujutsu Kaisen season 3, what happens is not just a series of battles, but also changes the situation and leaves extremely harsh psychological consequences.
The Shibuya Arc summary shows that this is not just a part of the story but also a milestone that reshapes the entire Jujutsu Kaisen. Jujutsu Kaisen season 3 exploded with such a tragic and unforgettable chapter! Hobiverse believes that after the Shibuya Arc, you will look at the world of Jujutsu with a completely different eye.
