Comment from Hitsujibungaku
After receiving the ending theme, I read the manga version of “Jujutsu Kaisen” over and over again.
The process of making this song was difficult, but the attitudes of characters like Itadori gave me a lot of encouragement and strength. I think this song can help you take that last step forward when you’re on the verge of loss. I am grateful for such a challenging opportunity.

About the “Shibuya Incident”
Who has the last laugh, humans or the curse?
“Gojo Satoru, after establishing the advantage here, challenge the seal at the right time and the right place. Normandy landing day is October 31st, and the place is Shibuya.
In October 2018, since the special curse spirit attack party event, tensions within the Jujitsu Academy have continued to escalate, and the traitor was finally exposed. Who is the traitor and why?
On October 31, 2018, a “screen” was suddenly thrown down in the bustling Shibuya Station area during Halloween, blocking many ordinary people inside.
Given the villains’ advanced “barrier trapping only civilians” barrier technology, and the order passed through the civilians to “bring Gojo Satoru there,” the executives decide to have Gojo suppress them. Minimize losses.
Cursed people and cursed spirits such as Shitou and Masato are laying traps; Gojo walks into the scene alone; Itadori, Fushiguro, Kugizaki, Nanami and many other jujitsu magicians gather outside the “screen”…
The unprecedented all-out curse battle between the jujutsu magicians, cursers, and curse spirits gathered in Shibuya is finally about to begin!
