The popular series will chronicle Gojo's past in the Hidden Inventory and Premature Death arcs, then follow the Shibuya Incident.

We told you July is packed with new anime releases, and one of the hottest arrivals is Jujutsu Kaisen season 2. Fans have been eagerly awaiting the series' return after its debut more than two years ago. Get ready to leap back in time with Gojo and Geto at Jujutsu High.

Rather than focus on the story's main protagonist, Itadori Yuji, this installment shows us what happened between Geto and beloved teacher Gojo when they were young sorcery students in 2006. Tasked with protecting and escorting the Star Plasma Vessel, Riko, the friends face enemies together in hopes of completing their mission. 

Directed by Shota Goshozono with a screenplay from Hiroshi Seko, Jujutsu Kaisen season 2 will be broken into two consecutive cours. Here's how to watch the newest season.

Perhaps you're traveling abroad and want to stream Crunchyroll while away from home. With a VPN, you're able to virtually change your location on your phone, tablet or laptop to get access to the anime series from anywhere in the world. There are other good reasons to use a VPN for streaming, too.

A VPN is the best way to stop your ISP from throttling your speeds by encrypting your traffic. Using a VPN is also a great idea if you're traveling and find yourself connected to a Wi-Fi network, and you want to add an extra layer of privacy for your devices and logins. Streaming TV can be a bit smoother with a reliable, quality VPN that's passed our tests and security standards.

You can use a VPN to stream content legally as long as VPNs are legal in your country and you have a valid subscription to the streaming service you're using. The US and Canada are among the countries where VPNs are legal, but we advise against streaming or downloading content on illegal torrent sites. We recommend ExpressVPN, but you may opt for another provider from our best list such as Surfshark or NordVPN.

Follow the VPN provider's instructions for installation, and choose a country where Jujutsu Kaisen is streaming on Crunchyroll. Before you open the streaming app, make sure you are connected to your VPN using your selected region. If you want to stream the series on more than one device, it's possible you'll need to configure each one to ensure you are signed in. Go to settings and check your network connections to verify you're logged in and connected to your VPN account. Now you're ready to open Crunchyroll to stream. 

If you run into issues with streaming, first make sure your VPN is up and running on its encrypted IP address. Double-check that you've followed installation instructions correctly and you've picked the right geographical area for viewing. If you still encounter connection problems, you may need to reboot your device. Close all apps and windows, restart your device and connect to your VPN first. Note that some streaming services have restrictions on VPN access.
