The second part of the manga centers on the battle between sorcerers and the Simurians, a powerful alien race seeking refuge in Japan. After a conflict broke out, the Jujutsu community urgently needed someone who could defeat Dabura, but no existing sorcerer seemed capable. In a surprising move, they tasked Yuka Okkotsu, a seriously ill teenager, with handling the situation, highlighting their lack of reliable, high-level sorcerers beyond Yuji Itadori. The sequel clearly demonstrates Yuji’s immense power, and the final volume officially recognizes his true strength with an appropriate ranking.

Despite not yet having an anime adaptation, Kagurabachi has become a huge success, exceeding the sales records of other popular manga and reaching over 4 million copies sold. The series’ official X account confirmed these numbers include both physical books and digital downloads. While 11 volumes are currently available in Japan, only 7 have been released in English. This is because it takes time to license and translate each volume for international release, leading to a delay for English-speaking readers.

When the heroes meet Mister Marathon, they stumble upon a gathering hosted by Misha Collins’ character, Malchemical, and find several Hollywood actors playing poker. This isn’t the first time stars from Supernatural have appeared in The Boys, and it leads to a funny reunion between Jared Padalecki, Misha Collins, and Jensen Ackles. The heroes try to persuade Soldier Boy to take down Homelander and take control of The Seven, but he refuses. A chaotic fight ensues, and unfortunately, all the guest stars end up dying. It seems like we won’t be seeing these characters again, including Padalecki’s Mister Marathon, though there are a few possibilities for his return in the future.
