Jujutsu Kaisen: How to watch Sukuna vs Mahoraga Blu-ray version

The new Blu-ray version of Sukuna vs Mahoraga’s fight in Jujutsu Kaisen has impressed fans yet again – so here’s how you can watch it.

Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 is one of the best anime of 2023, winning several Crunchyroll Anime Awards this year. The franchise has just released the Blu-ray DVDs of the second season, and fans are baffled by the extended fight in the most controversial episode of the season.

The Blu-ray version has fixed Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 Episode 17, which is by far the most controversial episode of the series. Although MAPPA’s poor work enraged fans every week, the news about the Sukuna vs. Mahoraga episode being an unfinished version was extremely surprising. As Mahoraga is one of the strongest characters Sukuna defeated, fans were quite disappointed with the unfinished version.

The fight scene is incredible, bolstered by fast-paced choreography. It currently ranks second on the IMDb episode list. However, fans couldn’t help but notice how unpolished it looked despite the series being one of the best anime from Studio MAPPA. Thankfully, the Blu-ray version has an extended version of the most amazing Jujutsu Kaisen fight in the anime.

Why does Sukuna fight Mahoraga in Jujutsu Kaisen?

Sukuna fights Mahoraga in Jujutsu Kaisen to save Megumi Fushiguro’s life. As a powerful and unexorcized Shikigami, Mahoraga is about to kill Megumi, his summoner. However, Sukuna’s interference prevents it from killing Megumi and leads to the Sukuna vs. Mahoraga fight.

In the Shibuya Incident Arc, Megumi is in a precarious position. After fighting Jogo, Sukuna senses Megumi’s life is in danger as the young sorcerer summons Mahoraga. Mahoraga is an unexorcized Shikigami, so summoning it puts Megumi’s life in jeopardy. However, Megumi is willing to sacrifice himself to defeat Haruta.

Nonetheless, Sukuna interferes and saves Megumi’s life for his future plans. However, since Mahoraga can adapt to any attack, Sukuna uses large-scale techniques along with Domain Expansion. Mahoraga is defeated, but the entire Shibuya ward is also destroyed, killing thousands. This is by far the biggest tragedy in the story, and Sukuna is behind it.

What theme plays as Sukuna and Mahoraga fight?

The rousing theme that plays as Sukuna and Mahoraga fight is called Malevolent Shrine. The theme is named after Sukuna’s Domain Expansion. It is part of Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2’s official soundtrack and is composed by Yoshimasa Terui.

While there is no news on the global release dates of Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2’s Blu-ray DVDs yet, they are expected to be announced soon. Considering Jujutsu Kaisen’s world record as the most in-demand animated series, it’s safe to assume that the world is eagerly waiting to see the better version of Sukuna vs. Mahoraga.
