The world of Jujutsu Kaisen is vast and full of unique and different curse users and their techniques. However, some sorcery items can nullify the Jujutsu sorcerer’s powers fully.
The second season of the anime is becoming more vital than ever. Currently, it stands at the breaking point for the series as it continues to adapt its most essential arc, the Shibuya Incident arc.
Although everything revealed so far is explained, one essential story item perplexes the readers: the Prison Realm. This taboo sorcery item is in possession of Kenjaku, a.k.a Pseudo-Geto.
It will serve as the item that will twist the whole story of Jujutsu Kaisen in the second season.
If you are wondering what Prison Realm is, how it works, and most importantly, what the background lore of the taboo sorcery item is, you have come to the right place! In this article, we will look at the cursed item thoroughly.

What is the Prison Realm and How Was It Made?
Prison Realm is a special-grade cursed tool that can entrap anyone, no matter their size and how powerful they are.
At this moment, Kenjaku holds the cursed item, and his main goal is to entrap Gojo Satoru into the realm.
The physical appearance of the item is a cubic-shaped box with eyes all over its sides, covered with talisman constraints, giving it a menacing outlook.
There is nothing in the universe that it cannot seal, and it can confine anything into an inescapable pocket realm.
The origin of the Prison Realm was never a prominent topic in Jujutsu Kaisen, but it was once mentioned that it was formed from the remnants of a Buddhist Monk-Genshin.
Now that we have discussed what it is and its origins and whereabouts let us discuss the rules for using the item.

The Process of Using Prison Realm:
Although the cursed item can seal anyone in it, the exterior is a small cubic shape that can only fit one’s hand.
For the proper use of the prison realm, here are the conditions that apply to sealing someone in it:
- To open up the Prison Realm, it should be thrown before the target, and with a chant of “Gate-Open,” it unfolds itself into a giant flesh with an eye in the center.
- The giant eye focuses on the target for one minute, which must be sealed off.
- The flesh sucks in the target, and with a chant of “Gate-Close,” the Prison Realm is closed, and the target is stuck in it forever, returning to its original cube form.
The details for entrapping someone should be followed thoroughly. The target should be in a 4-meter range for 1 minute.

The Inside of Prison Realm:
Thanks to the interview with Gege Akutami sensei, we now know about the inside of the Prison Realm and what the entity trapped inside is going through.
Inside the Prison Realm, the time flow differs significantly from the outside world. It also helps nullify the cursed techniques of the entity inside itself and stops them from using literally anything.
It feels like a prison, and anyone inside the Prison Realm is bound to go mentally insane and lose their temper.
Furthermore, Gege Sensei confirmed that skulls and a creepy environment surround the individual inside the realm.
How To Free Someone From The Prison Realm?
Last but not least, we will discuss the process of freeing someone from the Prison Realm, and yes, it is actually possible.
The Prison Realm comes with a twist; it comprises two halves, the ‘Front Gate’ and the ‘Back Gate.’ As predictable as it sounds, the Front End is used to seal someone, and the Back Gate is used to unseal the individual inside it.
Although it may sound easy, the process of unsealing someone is also comprised of various conditions.
The Back Gate requires a different process to be opened, unlike the Front Gate, which opens up with a chant of a spell.
To open the Back Gate, the process is quite complex to understand, and we will break it down wholly in simpler words.
The Back Gate of the Prison Realm can only be opened with a cursed technique that can successfully nullify the nullifiers present inside the realm, and right now, that cursed technique is only possessed by the sorcerer Angel, Hana Kurusu.
The technique is called Jacob’s ladder and was only seen when everyone was unsealing a specific Jujutsu Sorcerer from the realm.
The Prison Realm is the game changer for the plot of Jujutsu Kaisen, and as soon as Gojo gets sealed, the whole story turns upside down and instantly turns dark.
Jujutsu Kaisen’s world is constantly expanding, and it still has many elements waiting to be revealed!
The recent episode of the anime was shocking for the fans, and as Gojo gets sealed, the pace of the anime will turn upside down, beginning from the next episode. The Shibuya Incident arc will begin to pick up the pace and be a long and exciting ride.
