King Gnu will perform the opening theme for the Shibuya Incident arc in Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2
King Gnu has recently become one of the most successful J-rock bands. Their distinctive blend of folk and rock sounds has quickly acquired recognition in Japan and worldwide. In the prequel movie Jujutsu Kaisen 0, King Gnu performed two the opening and ending themes. The songs are “Ichizu” (The Only Way) and “Sakayume” (Contradictory Dream).

Following the success of these two songs, King Gnu returns to perform the opening theme, “SPECIALZ” for the Shibuya Incident arc in Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2. It will debut in the sixth episode of season 2 on 31 August. Here’s what the artist, Daiki Tsuneda, has to say about it.
“I am very honored to be offered the opening theme for Jujutsu Kaisen/Shibuya Jihen. I think that I was able to create a song suitable for the rampage of the curses, so “SPECIALZ” Please look forward to it! Listen to it with a roar.”
Judging by the comment, the opening will likely be a fast-paced song that will perfectly suit the intense Shibuya Incident arc. It’s definitely a contrast from Tatsuya Kitani’s “Ao no Sumika,” which has soft vocals for the summer theme of the flashback arc.
