With just two more months to go for the release of the second season of Jujutsu Kaisen, it was revealed that Tatsuya Kitani, who was in charge of the opening theme of Bleach Thousand Year Blood War, will be performing the opening theme song for the first cour of Jujutsu Kaisen season 2.
The opening theme song is called “Ao no Sumika”.
The official Twitter account also revealed the ending theme song. Soushi Sakiyama will perform the ending theme song “Akari”.
There will, however, be a change in the artist for the second cour of the season.
Fans are excited by the prospect of Tatsuya Kitani being in charge, praising his performance for Bleach TYBW‘s theme songs.
Others speculate that Eve will be performing the theme song for second cour of Jujutsu Kaisen season 2.
Jujutsu Kaisen season 2 will start airing on July 6, 2023.
Sunghoo Park will be replaced by Shouta Goshozono as the director of the second season.
Jujutsu Kaisen season 2 will run for two consecutive cours, and will cover the hidden inventory and the Shibuya arc from the manga.
Season 1 of the anime adaptation by MAPPA aired from October 2020 to March 2021.
Jujutsu Kaisen is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Gege Akutami. It is currently being serialized in Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump since March 2018. The Jujutsu Kaisen chapters are collected and published by Shueisha, with 20 tankobon volumes released as of August 2022.
A movie adaptation of Jujutsu Kaisen prequel, Jujutsu Kaisen 0 premiered in Japan in December 2021. It had crossed the 10 billion yen mark in Japanese box office in 43 days, earning about 10,456,322,400 yen (about US$90.6 million) from 7,603,732 tickets on its 45th day.
MAL describes the plot of Jujutsu Kaisen as:
Hidden in plain sight, an age-old conflict rages on. Supernatural monsters known as “Curses” terrorize humanity from the shadows, and powerful humans known as “Jujutsu” sorcerers use mystical arts to exterminate them. When high school student Yuuji Itadori finds a dried-up finger of the legendary Curse Sukuna Ryoumen, he suddenly finds himself joining this bloody conflict.
Attacked by a Curse attracted to the finger’s power, Yuuji makes a reckless decision to protect himself, gaining the power to combat Curses in the process but also unwittingly unleashing the malicious Sukuna into the world once more. Though Yuuji can control and confine Sukuna to his own body, the Jujutsu world classifies Yuuji as a dangerous, high-level Curse who must be exterminated.
Detained and sentenced to death, Yuuji meets Satoru Gojou—a teacher at Jujutsu High School—who explains that despite his imminent execution, there is an alternative for him. Being a rare vessel to Sukuna, if Yuuji were to die, then Sukuna would perish too. Therefore, if Yuuji were to consume the many other remnants of Sukuna, then Yuuji’s subsequent execution would truly eradicate the malicious demon. Taking up this chance to make the world safer and live his life for a little longer, Yuuji enrolls in Jujutsu High, jumping headfirst into a harsh and unforgiving battlefield.
