Ahead of its highly anticipated premiere, details of the Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 opening and ending has been revealed, giving fans an early look at what to expect when the series premieres on July 6, 2023.
What is the opening theme for Season 2 of Jujutsu Kaisen?
The Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 opening of the hit anime series will be “Ao no Sumika” (Blue House) by Tatsuya Kitani. The ending theme for the series will be Soushi Sakiyama’s “Akari” (Lantern). Both singles won’t officially be out until July 19, 2023, but will appear in Season 2 a few weeks earlier for fans.
The second season of Jujutsu Kaisen will air in two cours over a continuous half-year run. Jujutsu Kaisen‘s second season will adapt both the Kaigyoku/Gyokusetsu and Shibuya Incident arcs of the hit manga.
Jujutsu Kaisen premiered in October 2020 with a 24-episode first season on Crunchyroll and immediately became a hit among fans. The prequel film Jujutsu Kaisen 0 was released in Japan on December 24, 2021, and since its release has already become the 64th highest-earning film in Japanese box office history.
The anime is based on the manga title of the same name. Both the manga and anime have found widespread success in Japan, with the manga having sold over 55 million copies.
“Yuji Itadori is a high school student with amazing physical abilities, living a normal life,” reads the official synopsis for Jujutsu Kaisen. “But one day, in order to save his schoolmate from a ‘curse,’ he eats a special grade cursed object, ‘Sukuna’s Finger,’ and gets the curse within his soul. Itadori, who now shares his body with the cursed spirit ‘Sukuna,’ transfers to an institution specializing in curses, Tokyo Metropolitan Curse Technical School, to be guided by the most powerful jujutsu sorcerer, Satoru Gojo… A story of a high school student who carries a curse in order to exorcise it. With no way of turning back, his fierce tale begins to unfold.”
