Heartbreaking JuJutsu Kaisen Moment That Would Make a Perfect S2E3 Cliffhanger

Jujutsu Kaisen fans, brace yourselves! The animated thrill ride is about to hit an emotional low and end an episode on a shocking cliffhanger that's got Reddit users all riled up. Based on a recent discussion among fans of the beloved manga-turned-anime, there's a heartbreaking moment that could potentially leave you screaming at your screens during season 2 episode 3.

A recent fan thread inquires which heart-rending moment from the manga would serve as the perfect gasp-inducing season 2, episode 3 cliffhanger. The two contenders are as spine-tingling as they are heartbreaking: Riko being shot, or the long-awaited return of the resurrected Gojo.

Many fans are firmly in camp "Riko being shot," considering the emotional blow it deals. Picture this: after Riko's moving 'I want to stay longer with everyone' monologue and Geto's shocked reaction, our young heroine takes a bullet. We know, it's a serious "OUCH!" moment, not just physically but emotionally. This sudden, tragic end to a life just yearning for more time would certainly leave fans gasping, their popcorn tumbling from their hands.

The Reddit consensus suggests that Riko's abrupt and unexpected demise would have the most shock value, especially after a montage of her having a blast. And what's more, it would perfectly tee up the incoming nightmare for Gojo and Geto.

Yes, as we all know, Riko is not just a kid who wanted to live her life, but still: her untimely end is perhaps one of the least brutal yet most shocking in the manga. The fan speculation suggests episode 3 would cover chapters 70-72 from the manga, leading right up to the heart-stopping, Riko-related cliffhanger.

While some fans hope that episode 4 might delve into Geto v Toji and Gojo v Toji round 2, there's a strong call to end with Gojo and Geto reclaiming Riko's corpse from the cult. Powerful scene, much?

For now, we can only sit tight, watch, and wait for the jaw-dropping moment that might leave us emotionally wrecked, but also incredibly eager for the next episode. Remember to keep your tissues handy, and maybe take a deep breath before pressing play, because Jujutsu Kaisen's season 2 is about to go for the gut-punch. As always, we'll be right here, ready to collectively gasp and theorize with you.
