The Cursed Womb arc is the main manga's shortest arc, only consisting of four chapters. In the anime, it only takes up two episodes but the storyline is an important one for the franchise. In the arc, Satoru Gojo is absent so his students are sent to a detention center to look into a cursed womb carrying a potential special grade curse. By the time they get there, it has already produced a special grade cursed spirit that also bears one of Sukuna's fingers.

The story arc only has two episodes but these episodes are heavy with major fights and a huge tragedy. It is in the Cursed Womb arc that we learn more about Sukuna and the strain of having to inhabit Itadori's body.

The Cursed Womb arc episodes will be rebroadcast on April 3, 2022. Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 has not yet been given an official release date but is expected to premiere in Winter 2022.
