“Upon taking on the closing theme, I read the comic version of “Jujutsu Kaisen” over and over again.

The making of this song was a tough one, but I was encouraged and given strength many times by the attitudes of characters such as Itadori. I think the song turned out to be something that empowers you to make one last step forward when you're on the brink of loss. I am thankful for a challenging opportunity like this.”

The release of the full-length version of the new song “more than words” will coincide with the airing of the first episode of “Shibuya Incident”, followed by the release of the CD package on Wednesday, September 27.

About “Jujutsu Kaisen
The boy fights – in pursuit of a “righteous death”.

Jujutsu Kaisen” is a manga by Gege Akutami currently running in Weekly Jump magazine, published by Shueisha.

The series was launched in March 2018 and depicts the battle between the curses born from negative sentiments born from humans and the Jujutsu Sorcerers who get rid of the curses with sorcery. 23 volumes into the series so far, it has sold a total of over 80 million copies.

The first season of its anime series ran on MBS/TBS network stations from October 2020 thru March 2021, with tremendous reactions from domestic and international alike. In addition, on December 24, 2021, the movie “Jujutsu Kaisen 0”, featuring the prequel story of Season 1, premiered and created a huge movement around the world.

Starting in 2023, the second season features “Hidden Inventory / Premature Death”, the story of Satoru Gojo and Suguru Geto in the Jujutsu Academy. It finally reveals the past Gojo and Geto broke away from, which was hinted in the movie.

Also, for two consecutive cours following “Hidden Inventory / Premature Death”, the episodes depict the “Shibuya Incident”, an arc continuing from the first season.

October 31. A “screen” is suddenly cast in the Shibuya Station area, bustling on Halloween, blocking many civilians inside. Gojo is on his way alone to Shibuya to suppress the scene, but the whole thing was a trap set by the Curse Users and Cursed Spirits, such as Geto and Mahito...

Itadori, Fushiguro, Kugisaki, and other members of the academy, as well as the Jujutsu Sorcerers, gather in Shibuya, and an unprecedentedly massive battle is about to begin. The frenzy around the curses starts to roll again...

About “Shibuya Incident”
Who's getting the last laugh, the human, or – the curse?

“Satoru Gojo, challenges the seal at an appropriate time and appropriate place, after the advantage is established on this side. The D-Day is October 31, in Shibuya.”

October 2018. Amid rising tensions inside the Jujutsu Academy since the Special Grade Cursed Spirits attacked a get-together event, the traitor is finally revealed.

Who is the traitor, and what for!?

October 31, 2018. A “screen” is suddenly cast in the Shibuya Station area, bustling on Halloween, blocking many ordinary people inside.

Given the villains' advanced barrier-making technique of “a screen that only traps civilians”, and the singling out of “Satoru Gojo to be brought there”, an order told by way of the civilians, the executives decide to have Gojo suppress the scene in Shibuya on his own, to keep the damages to a minimum.

Geto, Mahito, and other Curse Users and Cursed Spirits lying in ambush with a trap; Gojo walking into the scene on his own; Itadori, Fushiguro, Kugisaki, Nanami, and many other Jujutsu Sorcerers gathering outside the “screen”...

An unprecedented, all-out cursing battle of Jujutsu Sorcerers versus Curse Users and Curse Spirits, all gathering in Shibuya, will finally begin!
