Jujutsu Kaisen changes its Opening Theme Sequence

During season 2, Jujutsu Kaisen changed its opening theme as the series moved on from Gojo’s past to the main events of Shibuya Arc. The opening theme also changed and Specialz by King Gnu was used as the new opening theme song. The opening sequence had a lot of easter eggs for the fans which fans were able to point out as the sequence was released.

The sequence featured all the jujutsu sorcerers, curses, Sukuna, Gojo, and almost everyone in Shibuya city moving towards a certain direction and some flashes of the future of the series. It was truly one of the best opening sequences Jujutsu Kaisen has ever seen since its beginning.

However, after the release of the 20th episode, one fan was able to point out a slight chance that the creators made in the opening sequence. This change showed the Shibuya city being destroyed from above. Also at the end of the sequence when Yuji is seen with other characters, the scene is changed and Yuji is shown standing alone. This change held a huge dark message for fans.
