The Shibuya Incident arc of Jujutsu Kaisen season 2 is set to kick off August 31, and it’ll feature a brand-new song by King Gnu.
The popular Japanese band, who also contributed the ending theme to Jujutsu Kaisen 0, will provide a song called “SPECIALZ.” The Shibuya Incident arc will run for 18 episodes.
Aside from their Jujutsu Kaisen work, King Gnu are also known in the anime world for the OPs of Ranking of Kings and Banana Fish.
