Jujutsu Kaisen season 3 opening references: Stunning opening is jam-packed with symbolism
Jujutsu Kaisen has mastered the art of evocative opening themes. Season 1 used Eve’s “Kaikai Kitan” to foreshadow major storylines, while season 2 featured King Gnu’s “Specialz” to highlight the chaotic horrors of the Shibuya Incident arc. But Jujutsu Kaisen’s latest season (which debuted on Jan. 8 with a one-hour special) knocks it out of the park with extraordinary animation and thematic richness. Set to King Gnu’s “Aizo,” this fast-paced opener highlights the adaptation’s brilliant grasp of Gege Akutami’s source material. But this opening doesn’t stop at providing sneak peeks into what’s to come, using impressive parallels to art history to enrich an already dense narrative.
