The tragedies in the Jujutsu Kaisen Shibuya Incident arc went on for months in real-time, but that’s not the case in the story. Here’s what you need to know about the exact timeline of the Shibuya Incident arc in Jujutsu Kaisen.

Even now, no other arc in Jujutsu Kaisen is as brutal as the Shibuya Incident. On October 31, the Jujutsu world was turned upside down, and it never managed to recover from it. The countless tragedies that took place were all thanks to the mastermind, Pseudo-Geto.

The world had lost all hope after Gojo got sealed. None of the sorcerers were able to keep the world from collapsing as they didn’t have a fraction of the strength Gojo possessed. Even Yuta was in Africa, so the remaining ones were only Grade 1 or lower, which wasn’t enough to defeat the monsters in Shibuya.

All the sorcerers took action, and they were scattered across various places in Shibuya. This is why Jujutsu Kaisen manga kept a record of the exact timeline of the entire Shibuya Incident arc. The arc continued from October 2019 to January 2021. However, in the series, everything takes place in less than five hours.

The incident began when a curtain was drawn in Shibuya by the curse users. After that, the fight went on for a few hours before Psuedo-Geto accomplished his goals for the day.
