Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 features Riko’s death, which proves dangerous to Master Tengen and the Jujutsu world. Here’s what happens to them after her death.

The premise of the first arc in Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 is Master Tengen assigning Gojo and Geto to escort Riko Amanai, the Star Plasma Vessel. In the first episode, fans learn about the role and responsibility of Master Tengen, along with their ability to stay immortal.

Master Tengen only chose Gojo and Geto since they both are the strongest sorcerers despite being students. The severity of the mission indicates that only two of the two special-grade sorcerers can ever complete it.

However, as the boys continue with the biggest mission of their lives, they experience the joy and grief associated with the world of Jujutsu. They’re also unable to stop Riko’s death which has a major impact on Master Tengen in Jujutsu Kaisen.

Every 500 years or so, a Star Plasma Vessel is born, which possesses the requisite potential to reset Master Tengen’s immortality. After Riko Amanai’s death, Tengen fails to merge with a vessel and barely manages to stabilize the barriers. 

The consequence of this failure is the Tengen’s aging accelerating to the point where they become more like a cursed spirit rather than a human. They retained their self-awareness, but their very self has become the world in a sense. They now possess a bipedal humanoid body with four eyes and a cylinder-shaped head with no hair.

How to watch Crunchyroll from outside your location in 2023?

Crunchyroll is the world’s best hub for streaming anime, whether it’s One PieceAttack on Titan, or Jujutsu Kaisen. Thanks to ExpressVPN, you can access the platform’s full library even if you’re outside the US.

If you’re abroad, here’s what you need to do to access Crunchyroll’s full selection – and it really is this simple:

  1. Sign up for ExpressVPN, which has ultra-fast servers and offers a secure, private connection wherever you are in the world
  2.  Connect to a location anywhere in the US; Express VPN allows you to choose from 24 different spots, from New Jersey to Santa Monica
  3.  Visit Crunchyroll online and start streaming all of your favorite animes – and perhaps some you’ve never watched
