Jujutsu Kaisen – Episode 14 Review: Kyoto Sister School Exchange Event – Group Battle 0 –

It feels like an age since I last talked about this show. That mid-season break seemed to last an eternity, being edged out slightly by how long it’s felt like we’ve been building up to this interschool sorcerer tournament between Tokyo and Kyoto.
