Warning! Contains HUGE SPOIL content for Jujutsu Kaisen’s Shibuya Incident!!!!
Jujutsu KaisenThe new opening is one of the best of the series, but as manga readers will know, it also hints at many of the events to come in the upcoming Shibuya Incident arc, including a shocking moment in that plot. This is hardly unique to this OP, as many other shows also use their openings to hint at future events, but it’s still a bit surprising given how big the change is. change it is referring to.
Jujutsu Kaisen’s new opening spends most of its time with important characters walking and standing around. One of these characters is Nobara, who is holding her hand over her left eye. While this scene may seem innocuous to anime-only fans, manga readers know that this is actually a reference to Nobara’s final battle in the manga. While fighting against a clone of Mahito, the curse touched her face, causing her right eye to explode and presumably killing her. This is easily the most shocking moment in the series, as Nobara was a major character and her death devastated Yuji’s already fragile mental state.

This isn’t the only shocking moment in the Shibuya Incident, of course, but it’s the one that fans will remember the most. Even to this day there are fierce debates about whether Nobara will actually return, as it’s hard to believe that mangaka Gege Akutami will actually kill one of the series’ most popular characters. story. For her part, Gege has encouraged this debate by never explicitly confirming that Nobara died from her injuries, but since she hasn’t actually appeared since Shibuya it is likely that she he really died. The other characters in Shibuya are clearly dead, which the new OP also alluded to.

Nanami’s death is alluded to because he also makes a lot of appearances in the prologue. In addition to the specific deaths, Gojo’s sealing is also hinted at, as his moment of being trapped in the Prison Kingdom is shown quite clearly. In addition, Toji’s return is also shown, both his escape from the witch who revived him and also his confrontation with Megumi. It also shows Sukuna taking over Yuji’s body in a surge of flames. In addition to these more obvious references, the prologue has more subtle details, such as a brief shot of the wheel of the extremely powerful Mahoraga.
