Shibuya

Location from Jujutsu Kaisen by Gege Akutami

A major Tokyo ward and the site of the Shibuya Incident — a coordinated attack by cursed spirits and Kenjaku that devastated the district and sealed Gojo Satoru.

Shibuya is one of Tokyo's busiest commercial districts — on an ordinary evening, hundreds of thousands of people pass through its station and streets. On October 31st, it became a killing field. Kenjaku and the disaster cursed spirits executed a precision operation: a curtain barrier trapped civilians underground, Gojo Satoru entered alone to minimize casualties, and the trap closed around him. Jogo, Hanami, Choso, and Mahito engaged him in sequence while Kenjaku activated the Prison Realm to seal the strongest sorcerer alive. The aftermath was catastrophic. Hundreds of civilians dead. Nanami killed by Mahito. Nobara critically wounded. Mechamaru destroyed. Yuji forced to watch Sukuna rampage through the district in Megumi's body wasn't yet — but Sukuna did slaughter with abandon when given control. The Shibuya Incident broke the jujutsu world's fragile status quo and set in motion everything that followed.

Appearance

A dense commercial district of towering department stores, scramble crossings, and underground transit corridors. After the Incident, entire blocks are cratered and scorched. The underground station is a ruin of collapsed concrete and residual cursed energy. The famous crossing is stained dark where the barriers fell.
