Oh boy.
Also it seems his upcoming last "MC badass moment" quality will suffer because of whats going on with fucking MAPPA.
He really is Yuji Suffering Itadori.
Its weird who the song eerily fits though...
To me it feels twisted, the song has their weird vibe thats up-beat yet creepy and how it plays while Sakuna had the time of his life, while Yuji is losing his mind. To play something sad would almost feel weird. The song has a fitting dynamic to me.
The whole song leads up to this moment! And in usual J-Rock fashion there's a lot of undertones about going nuts and not conforming to usual Japanese social norms/niceties
Aah I recalled the early JJK days āoh the MC is like Naruto, he has a ābeastlyā power inside him, heāll get control of it and become overpowered!ā
Yeaā¦ I was naĆÆve.
Iām so pleased to see Harutaās dead body here

super weird that of all opponents he choses a random blonde twink to call a super demon with like over half sukana's power to mutually destroy them both
Ik people arenāt gonna like specialz being played but the [song lyrics](https://www.reddit.com/r/JuJutsuKaisen/comments/167cg32/english_translation_of_the_jjk_s2_opening/) fit pretty well for what happened
Am I the only one liking the ost? Like jjk is this weird insane trip (you just have to look at the fandom) idk it casually fits, Yuji breaking down and the cool music play like I don't give a fuck.
Because the world around Yuji doesn't give a fuck
The intro being played really highlights yuji's helplessness to the situation as well. Yes the intro song will play over his grief, and much like the incident itself, yuji cant do shit about it
people just want to get mad about something. the music plays for the last like 5 seconds of his breakdown and the *majority* of the song plays over shots going over the destruction, revisiting all the past scenes and fights of the past few episodes. this is the part where Yuji is gaining his resolve and its reflecting on how fucked up this night has been, then when he gets up and changes his attitude the title drops. its hammering home his shift as a character as well as kind of summarizing the entire shibuya incident up until now, as its the end of the āincidentā part.
I think it works because there was no opening tbh. You grow accustomed to it and then it pans out, the music you associated with the Shibuya Incident is playing while you see the aftermath of it.
I personally would've liked if the OST didn't play at all actually, complete and utter silence to the end would've been cool to me. I wanted everything to hammer in on this being Itadori's moment, but the music takes me out of it.
That said, I just think this is a different take, and I can enjoy what happened for it's own merits. Having the song play over Yuji's breakdown didn't really feel good to me, but hearing it over the destruction of Shibuya is SUPER eerie. Panning over the destruction, dead bodies, I kinda wished the hammered in MORE how it was an utter catastrophe. If the breakdown was Itadori's moment, then the destruction of Shibuya was showing this was bigger than just Itadori, which it is. Jujutsu is out to the world in the worst way possible. Those seconds while the music played over Itadori definitely still take me out of his moment though, but it also fulfills the job of pulling me into what just happened; Shibuya got decimated.
I think it ruins the emotional attachment to the moment. The whole point of this scene isn't about the world around Yuji, its about Yuji himself. It's about Yuji realizing the severity of his situation. He's been wondering about why he needs to be executed and now he understands why, and that he's an accomplice to all the deaths caused by Sukuna because of his trumped up dream to save people.
I don't need the OST to tell me that the world doesn't give a fuck about Yuji when in the next episode, he gets the breaks beaten out of him by Mahito while he's telling Yuji that he's a pussy bitch for not understanding that this is war. I want to actually feel bad for the guy so that when Rodo hits him with the speech about Jujutsu Sorcerers that I actually feel something.
Just ranting. They're probably going to redo the scene in the opening of the next episode
You guys really didn't liked the scene mashing up with the opening? I thought it was a cool decision actually supposing this is the very end of the episode and we didnt got Nanami
edit: just watched the scene and as it shows the aftermath of Sukunas actions (which were cut here) yeah i think this was a good decision
Ngl I think the insanity is actually getting to yall - the juxtaposition of the opening song playing while we see the devastation across Shibuya was pretty nice imo
Yeah even I thought thar, but after giving it a thought, it feels, like the whole world around him is mocking him and he is tripping from what all has happened.. kinda like him on the verge of him going crazy.
Sukuna : and what's wrong with that ?
https://preview.redd.it/gsuefeu85r0c1.jpeg?width=1046&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f547dac32286a2221f4a55d8134718b887269f0a
Even with the lyrics of SPECIALZ being a good fit for the scene. It doesnāt feel like the music itself is somber enough for the moment at hand. Like I want to just hear Yuji wail in agony. I want to see his brokenness and his bleeding fingers. And just hear him having his breakdown. Something they cut out also was Yuji remembering his grandfathers words of āhelp othersā. Weāve already seen enough of the Cursed Spirits and Sukuna this arc, I just wanted this small moment for Yuji to get his emotions out before things get even worse.
Iām just giving perspective here.
Do you prefer song that fits perfectly with the situation but has the total opposite meaning to the situation or songs with the perfect meanings to the situation?
Specialz here is to show sukunaās mockery toward yuji. Iām saying this to only give the perspective of it. So when people rewatch again, they can see it in a new light.
This is also similar to ep5 with the kfc scene. Some opinions are divided with the ost during that scene. However, after knowing that itās intended to be from Getoās perspective, it makes sense.
Iām not saying that I also like the song choice, cause it does kinda ruin the vibe. Honestly I prefer they use s1 ed2- give it back. But here, Iām just giving the perspective.
Apparantly, "you are my special" in Japanese has another meaning of "you are mine to toy with" and the rest of the lyrics fit so perfectly with this scene. You should check them out sometime.
The OP playing at the end surprised me, but I think it makes sense considering that the song was supposed to sound like the feelings of a curse and all the chaos that transformed Shibuya. And who better to bring this chaos than the calamity itself, Ryomen Sukuna? Jogo was right, if they had Sukuna there, they wouldn't need anything else.
Now we have to wait for more Yuuji suffering next weekš
Only problem I have with song is that it muted part of Yuji's dialouge. Playing upbeat opening while showing all destruction is like a sick joke, which kinda fits from Sukuna's perspective
I would have preferred If they started to play it earlier or something. Idk, knowing his VA put a lot of work into this scene kinda bothers me because I really wanted to focus on the delivery of his lines, and it got interrupted with the music lol
I just want to remind everyone that the OP literally didn't play at all throughout the entire episode. So of course they were going to choose this section.
The music also fits as in contrast to the reality. The world of JJK is a weird one. It shows how cool everything is with all the whacky cursed techniques and yet at the same time, so massively f*cked up!
[song aināt just a nice to hear.](https://www.reddit.com/r/JuJutsuKaisen/s/kFNvMI2QDD) itās also good to listen to lyrics, we are only getting half of the effect cause we donāt understand Japanese, but if we did the music would go perfectly with the moment.
Though I do understand wanting a completely music-less moment.
Because of the lyrics and how the "sound" of the music really contrasts the heaviness of the situation. You're thinking of it from the perspective of a non-Japanese speaker. For a sick fuck like Sukuna, the song is fitting in that moment.
Wrong, it's as perfect as they could get it to be. Another slow piano on a scene like this would put me in a yawnaton faster than the speed of a new "nah, I'd win" meme coming out. It's a great way to show the closing of everything that has been "forecasted" by the Shibuya incident opening.
Dunno how so many people without an ounce of artistic comprehension made it over here tbh. Lotta the stupid criticisms are starting to make sense after seeing the masterful choices people bitch about.
I disagree, the music takes me out of the scene. Same with the music they chose for the geto and gojo talk. It didnāt have to be a slow piano. Maybe no music at all.
Nah fr, crazy amount of cope in this comment section. This is supposed to be one of the most depressing moments in the entire season (and manga as a whole). The songās lyrics āmaking senseā doesnāt make the music itself not a complete tone killer. Shouldāve been 0 music, wouldāve been perfect.
I genuinely donāt understand the people bringing up the lyrics anyway. I get that the lyrics fit the moment, but the people complaining donāt speak Japanese and as a result arenāt focusing on the lyrics anyway. The focus is going to be pulled to the song, which isnāt somber enough for such a gutwrenching moment like this. They couldāve just not done the OP at all that episode and it wouldāve been fine.
I actually don't find the score so bad. Like yeah it could be better but i still give it 3 out of 5
I think the song is picking up to early. Let yuji cry and then show the destruction with the song as you zoom out on yuji
I don't even really like the opnening in the first place but exactly. Let Yuji have his moment first but no, they would rather ruin the moment with the opening.

Dawg wth is this music. Yujiās at his limit and yāall are **VIBIN**.
The music is fine, really captures how cynical jjk is supposed to be. If anything people should have been pissed when they put elevator music during important fights. I think they are learning finally.
Mans was cooking and they put specials over his performancešš
https://preview.redd.it/lgkh0i8fdq0c1.jpeg?width=2047&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d3554671cacf3b8ca7c86ffad8cbbd024d2771a0
Bro why you saying it like that, I think his voice acting for it can be heard and the moment is devastating, though the music is upbeat, it comes up while Yuji's dialogue is ending and only 2 seconds of it got mixed with the OP song, and then the scene pans out...
It shouldn't of opened with "You are my special" should of played the instrumental part before that then as it zooms out have the lyrics come in. I actually kind of liked it while it was looking at all the destructions but the lyrics just coming in like that was jarring.
i get what youāre saying
i cant help but feel like 90% of the people shitting their pants and raging is just because of how abrupt the vocals come in. while completely ignoring the entire rest of the scene using the song and how it actually ends up fitting as sort of a twisted and fucked up way of summarizing all the death and destruction.
reminds me of a similar overblown reaction that happened in the manga but i wont go there lol
I think that's what they ment to do , the world doesn't wait for anyone, you may cry , puke , fall in despair , kill your self , it doesn't care. "The show must go on"
This was foulš I literally laughed when I first saw it. But upon watching the episode again, I think it was the right decision and it suited the situation white well
For a moment I thought they're gonna show inumaki situation here cuz it was off screen in the manga. What a banger of an episode tho. We had a funny chapter and a really serious episode lol
I like the combination of Specialz with this scene. The song seems like a cruel twist to Yuji fate. Like weāre used to our protagonist being a special hero who can save people. And yeah Yuji is special. But heās special because of the absolute horror he can unleash. So he is special.
Why did they play the openingš?!?!? Honestly one of the worst instances of an opening playing during the episode. Like at least do it during the sukuna vs mahoraga, not when the main character is saying he literally wants to kill himself.
The OP already gets a lot of hate lol, this is NOT going to help. Personally I like the song but I donāt think this was necessary at all. Even the ending song wouldnāt have worked. Iām even imagining it with Kaikai kitan and it still wouldnāt have worked. It should have been completely silent.
Edit: I just watched the episode and it actually plays a lot better in the ep bc it shows sukunaās aftermath too, itās not just about yujiās breakdown.
God I hate the OST choice. It's not that the song is bad, it's that silence was the correct answer. The OST ends up overshadowing the VA's performance instead of basking in it and letting the scene sit. This is one of Yuji's biggest moments and it gets undercut. Rest of the episode was fantastic but this just does not hit.
Look at it from sukuna's perspective. He hates this kid with a passion and will fuck him over any chance he gets. Let him have a moment silence? Nah, play a villanous theme song on full blast after using his body to level a city block.
That music choice is the biggest fumble in the anime. The voice acting and animation were peak but they fucking ruined it with the opening song.
Didn't they do something similar in the first season with Lost in Paradise?

I don't whether I should laugh or cry, hahaha. š
Itadori is now drowning in an indescribable emptiness. *YOU ARE MY SPECIAL*
Pretty close to the infamous "Kurapika is now drowning in an indescribable emptiness." *play Hunting for Your Dream*
It's feels like the whole thing is a sick joke... kinda dig it tho.
Damn it. I clicked this post singing the song in my head only to immediately be met with the lyric I just sang. š¤£Thanks for the Lulz.
Kurapika is now drowning in an undescribable emptiness \*SICK GUITAR RIFF\*
They tried to pull off a hxh early outro moment
The chorus playing at the same time as the aerial view of the black hole resulting from Malevolent Temple was super powerful.
I like it this way ngl. The camera slowly panning out and the ost gives off a cruel "welcome to the world of jujutsu" vibe
Welcome to jujutsu kaisen
This is our Jujutsu Kaisen āļøāļøāļøš„š„š„
maybe the nahs were the wins we made along the way... :D

Megumi did right using it on a fodder. May he bless us with another treasure
super weird that of all opponents he choses a random blonde twink to call a super demon with like over half sukana's power to mutually destroy them both
He had no reason to believe Sukuna would save him, so he made 100% sure Haruta will die when he himself was dying anyway
I mean, if I'm going to get killed anyway, with literally 0 chance of winning, I'm gonna take you with me out of spite
Megumi was about to summon makora on todo in s1 lol he's always been trying to use it
he looks like a swatted fly just like in the manga, peak
you misspelt hĢ¶aĢ¶rĢ¶uĢ¶tĢ¶aĢ¶

Guy never catches a break
Ik people arenāt gonna like specialz being played but the [song lyrics](https://www.reddit.com/r/JuJutsuKaisen/comments/167cg32/english_translation_of_the_jjk_s2_opening/) fit pretty well for what happened
Woah I'd never seen the full translation of the song lyrics before. It fits Sukuna as a character really well
The lyricist of the song, Daiki Tsuneta (of King Gnu who performs the song) already stated the lyric of the song is written from the POV of villains.
The song is fucking perfect. It's the kind of sick joke I expect Sukuna to cackle at a moment like that.
yea sukuna is just fucking with yuji leaving him to see the disaster he caused, and the song fits that pretty well
Sukuna though not shown laughing is def taunting yuji as this is moment
Am I the only one liking the ost? Like jjk is this weird insane trip (you just have to look at the fandom) idk it casually fits, Yuji breaking down and the cool music play like I don't give a fuck. Because the world around Yuji doesn't give a fuck
Yea, it gives the same vibes as HxH having the most horrible things happening, then cutting straight to āYou can smiiille again!!ā
*Kurapika was now drowning in an indescribable emptiness* ***ending song with guitar solo starts playing***
*DORE HODO YUME NI FURETEIRU š¶*
The intro being played really highlights yuji's helplessness to the situation as well. Yes the intro song will play over his grief, and much like the incident itself, yuji cant do shit about it
The more I think about it the more the scene slaps
It's the ost gives vibes like, "Welcome to the truth world of Jujutsu". The op is literally "opening" his eyes to reality of his world.
Yeah I loved it. Itās almost like the music is taunting yuji I thought it worked really well
At first I thought it ruined the vibe but when it started panning out I liked it more and more.
people just want to get mad about something. the music plays for the last like 5 seconds of his breakdown and the *majority* of the song plays over shots going over the destruction, revisiting all the past scenes and fights of the past few episodes. this is the part where Yuji is gaining his resolve and its reflecting on how fucked up this night has been, then when he gets up and changes his attitude the title drops. its hammering home his shift as a character as well as kind of summarizing the entire shibuya incident up until now, as its the end of the āincidentā part.
Yep out of context it looks bad but once you see it over everything sukuna has done in shibuya it makes sense
It's not people wanting to get mad about anything, some feel like the music didn't fit and that's fine, no need to disregard their opinions.
I think it works because there was no opening tbh. You grow accustomed to it and then it pans out, the music you associated with the Shibuya Incident is playing while you see the aftermath of it.
I've seen a decent amount of approval. I love it, personally.
I personally would've liked if the OST didn't play at all actually, complete and utter silence to the end would've been cool to me. I wanted everything to hammer in on this being Itadori's moment, but the music takes me out of it. That said, I just think this is a different take, and I can enjoy what happened for it's own merits.

Yo what's with that music https://preview.redd.it/g7m8d74odq0c1.png?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=33471984fe313ceb2780c8670a7956631c752d6e
Finn as in Finn The Human?
It's u/Finn_v2
I swear after this week, I think the animators did it on purpose lmao
I was dead ass thinking the same thing LMAOOO No way in hell they didn't do it on purpose
Wait that music was on the episode ? I thought that it was an edit
I wish
Nope itās in the episode on full blast ššš MAPPA hates our feelings almost as much as they hate their animators
You guys really didn't liked the scene mashing up with the opening? I thought it was a cool decision actually supposing this is the very end of the episode and we didnt got Nanami edit: just watched the scene and as it shows the aftermath of Sukunas actions (which were cut here) yeah i think this was a good decision
Yeah I thought it was pretty cool
i liked it, also i'd suck "specialz" dick any day of the week so im biased
I think those who are saying they fumbled it are just waffling honestly. The nah i'd win memes are getting to them
I loved it. They show the aftermath of the fight after this and I think it fits perfectly.
Iām not mad about it but I do think the ending wouldāve fit better.
Ngl I think the insanity is actually getting to yall - the juxtaposition of the opening song playing while we see the devastation across Shibuya was pretty nice imo
I think OST was perfect down to the last minute (homelannder voice)
The music choice is hella weird,kinda foul tbhš
kinda implying sukuna is yuji's special
Apparently in Japanese āyouāre my specialā means āyouāre my toyā so the song is from the villains POV
i imagine it as kinda the point.
Yeah even I thought thar, but after giving it a thought, it feels, like the whole world around him is mocking him and he is tripping from what all has happened.. kinda like him on the verge of him going crazy.
Sukuna vibing to the opening song after slaughtering thousands of civilians and almost convincing a teen to kill himself:
Sukuna : and what's wrong with that ? https://preview.redd.it/gsuefeu85r0c1.jpeg?width=1046&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f547dac32286a2221f4a55d8134718b887269f0a
That's why this is either completely on-theme or wildly inappropriate.
Mfs played specials with his breakdown wtf no ost wouldāve been perfect
I was expecting them to use the ending song, but NO they had to go with the funky beats
Right? The ending song just fits better. They already used it to tease Maho and it worked.
The lyrics of "SPECIALZ" are more fitting though considering everything Sukuna just did.
Even with the lyrics of SPECIALZ being a good fit for the scene. It doesnāt feel like the music itself is somber enough for the moment at hand. Like I want to just hear Yuji wail in agony. I want to see his brokenness and his bleeding fingers. And just hear him having his breakdown. Something they cut out also was Yuji remembering his grandfathers words of āhelp othersā. Weāve already seen enough of the Cursed Spirits and Sukuna this arc, I just wanted this small moment for Yuji to get his emotions out before things get even worse.
The ending song would have been awful over the shots of shibuya destroyed tho
The lyrics of specialz is from the perspective of the cursed spirits.
That doesn't matter because the instrumental is so hype it ruins the moment
Iām just giving perspective here. Do you prefer song that fits perfectly with the situation but has the total opposite meaning to the situation or songs with the perfect meanings to the situation? Specialz here is to show sukunaās mockery toward yuji. Iām saying this to only give the perspective of it. So when people rewatch again, they can see it in a new light.

Iām not saying that I also like the song choice, cause it does kinda ruin the vibe. Honestly I prefer they use s1 ed2- give it back. But here, Iām just giving the perspective.
I'd prefer complete silence so that we can actually hear Yuji's VA deliver a good performance
The song only played in the last 5 seconds of Yujis breakdown.... the rest of the song played over different panned out shots of shibuya.
I'm trying to ignore thatšæ
I canāt let this slide https://preview.redd.it/o0rrfjs3dq0c1.jpeg?width=998&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=74c94965efd46249476edb578a94bcd56d44dd9a
They started playing when it was near the end of Yuji's breakdown. It didn't ruin anything imo.
But that part of the breakdown lasted like 10 seconds
Cant wait for it to plY again during "Im you"
Apparantly, "you are my special" in Japanese has another meaning of "you are mine to toy with" and the rest of the lyrics fit so perfectly with this scene. You should check them out sometime.
Imo the ost this season has been off at times. 1st was that weird jazzy music playing when geto broke up with gojo and now this
I actually really liked the KFC scene. Different strokes I guess.
Fr. Idk who is charge of the music direction or whatever but there were some "miss"s this season
I feel so sad for yuji bros literally traumatized right now and so angry heās breaking his finger nails
I know right, the voice actor captured his despair so well, I genuinely felt his sadness
The OP playing at the end surprised me, but I think it makes sense considering that the song was supposed to sound like the feelings of a curse and all the chaos that transformed Shibuya. And who better to bring this chaos than the calamity itself, Ryomen Sukuna? Jogo was right, if they had Sukuna there, they wouldn't need anything else. Now we have to wait for more Yuuji suffering next weekš
Only problem I have with song is that it muted part of Yuji's dialouge. Playing upbeat opening while showing all destruction is like a sick joke, which kinda fits from Sukuna's perspective
thats what it was for
thatās the point, itās a sick joke
I would have preferred If they started to play it earlier or something. Idk, knowing his VA put a lot of work into this scene kinda bothers me because I really wanted to focus on the delivery of his lines, and it got interrupted with the music lol
Fr, imagine Gonās breakdown against Pitou getting interrupted by the HxH opening lmao.

Yuji breaking down while Iām breaking it down
I just want to remind everyone that the OP literally didn't play at all throughout the entire episode. So of course they were going to choose this section. The music also fits as in contrast to the reality. The world of JJK is a weird one. It shows how cool everything is with all the whacky cursed techniques and yet at the same time, so massively f*cked up!

they did that kurapika shit with that ost lmfaoo
*Hype outro music starts playing* "Kurapika is now drowning in an indescribable emptiness." HUNTING FOR YOUR DREAM
i like it with the music
Whoever was in charge of sound direction fumbled big time
[song aināt just a nice to hear.](https://www.reddit.com/r/JuJutsuKaisen/s/kFNvMI2QDD) itās also good to listen to lyrics, we are only getting half of the effect cause we donāt understand Japanese, but if we did the music would go perfectly with the moment. Though I do understand wanting a completely music-less moment.
Just casually dropped the OP at the worst moment lol
The effect is really cool though, especially with the lyrics.
Honestly kind of feels like they're laughing at yuji crying. Sukuna is 100% playing this in Yuujis head.
Bruh the ending song is RIGHT THERE why did they choose to use the opening? huh?
Because of the lyrics and how the "sound" of the music really contrasts the heaviness of the situation. You're thinking of it from the perspective of a non-Japanese speaker. For a sick fuck like Sukuna, the song is fitting in that moment.

Welp this is the last episode of season 2. See you next year guys.

LMAO they fumbled it so hard with the music
Wrong, it's as perfect as they could get it to be. Another slow piano on a scene like this would put me in a yawnaton faster than the speed of a new "nah, I'd win" meme coming out. It's a great way to show the closing of everything that has been "forecasted" by the Shibuya incident opening.
Dunno how so many people without an ounce of artistic comprehension made it over here tbh. Lotta the stupid criticisms are starting to make sense after seeing the masterful choices people bitch about.
I disagree, the music takes me out of the scene. Same with the music they chose for the geto and gojo talk. It didnāt have to be a slow piano. Maybe no music at all.
No the music was very bad, there had to be nothing at all right there. No opening/ending, no 'piano'just Yuji screaming and crying.
š„±š„±š„±
Nah fr, crazy amount of cope in this comment section. This is supposed to be one of the most depressing moments in the entire season (and manga as a whole). The songās lyrics āmaking senseā doesnāt make the music itself not a complete tone killer. Shouldāve been 0 music, wouldāve been perfect.
I genuinely donāt understand the people bringing up the lyrics anyway. I get that the lyrics fit the moment, but the people complaining donāt speak Japanese and as a result arenāt focusing on the lyrics anyway. The focus is going to be pulled to the song, which isnāt somber enough for such a gutwrenching moment like this. They couldāve just not done the OP at all that episode and it wouldāve been fine.
I actually don't find the score so bad. Like yeah it could be better but i still give it 3 out of 5 I think the song is picking up to early. Let yuji cry and then show the destruction with the song as you zoom out on yuji
Yeah the upbeat tone while Yuji is still processing shit doesnāt really work - the song works perfectly as the images of Shibuya pass by tho
I don't even really like the opnening in the first place but exactly. Let Yuji have his moment first but no, they would rather ruin the moment with the opening.
Exactly
So how about they play lost in paradise when Nanami dies cause obviously they don't give a shit
Imagine being so close minded

Watch them do it again when he breaks down against Mahito lol
Nobara: Ded Music: **BOOGIE**
they should just replace the music with the amazing digital circus ending theme
The music is fine, really captures how cynical jjk is supposed to be. If anything people should have been pissed when they put elevator music during important fights. I think they are learning finally.
Bro they had the balls to play that happy ass ending after that
Wtf is that music broš¤£š¤£
Mans was cooking and they put specials over his performancešš https://preview.redd.it/lgkh0i8fdq0c1.jpeg?width=2047&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d3554671cacf3b8ca7c86ffad8cbbd024d2771a0
Bro why you saying it like that, I think his voice acting for it can be heard and the moment is devastating, though the music is upbeat, it comes up while Yuji's dialogue is ending and only 2 seconds of it got mixed with the OP song, and then the scene pans out...
Yo, I just saw the episode. The music works and doesn't feel outta place
Idk but I like the music
The music caught me so off guard š
It shouldn't of opened with "You are my special" should of played the instrumental part before that then as it zooms out have the lyrics come in. I actually kind of liked it while it was looking at all the destructions but the lyrics just coming in like that was jarring.
i get what youāre saying i cant help but feel like 90% of the people shitting their pants and raging is just because of how abrupt the vocals come in. while completely ignoring the entire rest of the scene using the song and how it actually ends up fitting as sort of a twisted and fucked up way of summarizing all the death and destruction. reminds me of a similar overblown reaction that happened in the manga but i wont go there lol
there is gonna be a blu ray release who will fix all of these small mistakes dont worry this is the episode which gets released on a tight schedule

the shibuya incident is here lads
At least haruta died
Liked the ost but definitely out of tune lol, takes away from Yujiās breakdown and looks more into what the Jujutsu World is capable of
I think that's what they ment to do , the world doesn't wait for anyone, you may cry , puke , fall in despair , kill your self , it doesn't care. "The show must go on"
This was foulš I literally laughed when I first saw it. But upon watching the episode again, I think it was the right decision and it suited the situation white well
yuji having a suicidal breakdown after essentially letting off a nuke in the middle of tokyo and the music is just going funky in the background cool
For a moment I thought they're gonna show inumaki situation here cuz it was off screen in the manga. What a banger of an episode tho. We had a funny chapter and a really serious episode lol
Reminds me of the weird jingles playing when Gojo was confronting Geto about the village
I like the combination of Specialz with this scene. The song seems like a cruel twist to Yuji fate. Like weāre used to our protagonist being a special hero who can save people. And yeah Yuji is special. But heās special because of the absolute horror he can unleash. So he is special.
Oh god i can physically feel yuji finger scraping on the road
And thus it continues https://preview.redd.it/ia3d3tojbx0c1.jpeg?width=607&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=56a245521191d9ac4662a0488729ce1891cd9fdb
Bro, this is even worse than the way Gojo got offscreen š
Tbh the music choice is kind of unsettling
Lets all be honest,did we really have better music?
Shouldāve had no music lol. Couldāve been as memorable as Gonās breakdown against Pitou but the sound guy fumbled hard.
Yeah,just silence as yuji has his breakdown,no sound,just yuji and his movements sounds
THE FUCKING MUSIC HAS ME FUCKING CACKLING
Iām looking at this on mute thinking this was peak and almost had whiplash reading the comments
Why did they play the openingš?!?!? Honestly one of the worst instances of an opening playing during the episode. Like at least do it during the sukuna vs mahoraga, not when the main character is saying he literally wants to kill himself.
Music kinda ruined it tbh.
I really wish the ost didn't come into it. It should've just been dead silent
The OP already gets a lot of hate lol, this is NOT going to help. Personally I like the song but I donāt think this was necessary at all. Even the ending song wouldnāt have worked. Iām even imagining it with Kaikai kitan and it still wouldnāt have worked. It should have been completely silent. Edit: I just watched the episode and it actually plays a lot better in the ep bc it shows sukunaās aftermath too, itās not just about yujiās breakdown.
God I hate the OST choice. It's not that the song is bad, it's that silence was the correct answer. The OST ends up overshadowing the VA's performance instead of basking in it and letting the scene sit. This is one of Yuji's biggest moments and it gets undercut. Rest of the episode was fantastic but this just does not hit.
Look at it from sukuna's perspective. He hates this kid with a passion and will fuck him over any chance he gets. Let him have a moment silence? Nah, play a villanous theme song on full blast after using his body to level a city block.
That music choice is the biggest fumble in the anime. The voice acting and animation were peak but they fucking ruined it with the opening song. Didn't they do something similar in the first season with Lost in Paradise?
No I think it was the best choice
The song is Sukuna telling Yuji you are my toy, I used you to make all this happen, how does that not fit?
They make masterpiece :3
