Was Itadori also riding the "return" train in the OP?! I watched the official video and considered the hint in the title!

For those who love Jujutsu Kaisen

Hello! Everyone,A pixelated animation-style video currently available on YouTube on the official Jump channelHave you seen it?
This video,It's very long at 35 minutes.However, there is a lot of buzz among fans about thisA treasure trove of materialIt is!
This time, justThoughts and impressions from a Jujutsu-loving otaku watching this videoI would like to introduce it to you with some tips.

I want to dig deeper into the topic of "return trains"

The video title is specifically written as "Delivery Train," which already tickles the otaku heart of everyone.

1. If you think about what a deadhead train is, it's scary

A non-revenue train is,A train that runs without passengers or luggage on boardApparently, that's what happened. It's true that the "return trains" we see every day usually don't have any passengers on them.

Huh? But Itadori and the others are on board...

That's right!
Originally, and boarded a non-revenue train that was not supposed to be accessible to people.That's it!
Aren't you a little scared at this point?
And this train,Something's been wrong ever since Itadori got on board.After watching it a few times, I finally noticed something strange about the electronic destination display above the train doors.

Amazingly, on this bulletin board, it is facing in the opposite direction to the direction the trains are running.

This may be difficult to understand, so I've drawn a diagram that looks something like this.

Sorry for being so poor at this. Do you get the general idea? Can you tell that we are going in the wrong direction? (I'm relying on your imagination (;∀;))

Normally, the arrow pointing to the direction you're heading and the next station should be the same. So why...?
So the writer thought...

this,Maybe it's the same train as in the first season of the anime?? ? And! (Thud

2. Is it a coincidence that the opening scene of the first season of the anime also takes place on a train?

In the first scene of the first season of the anime, ItadoriAn empty trainindicates certainty, emphasis, etc.Close your eyesI'm on board.
Then, in the middle of the opening, Itadori opens his eyes, and various scenes are then shown.
What I want to focus on here is,Only Itadori is on the train in the opening scene.That is it.
The video I am considering this time is,First, ItadoriBoarding an empty trainSo, until Gojo Sensei and Fushiguro got on board, ItadoriClose your eyesThat's it.

Maybe it's the same train...?

3. Why the character "Kawa" is used

There doesn't seem to be much difference between the characters 'kai' and 'kai'.So why didn't "Jujutsu Kaisen" or "Deadline Train" work? While thinking about this, the author came up with one possibility.
Yes, we all know the familiar words for this kanji, right?

yes,"Reincarnation"It is.

Life and DeathRepeat like a wheelthing. whereStop StationI would like to think about this, but the station where Itadori's train stops is"Yamanote Line"There are so many stations.
The Yamanote Line has a circular route.The train basically goes round and roundThe following is a list of the most common problems with the
This is,Isn't it very similar to "reincarnation"?
Of course, it could be that it matches the title, "Jujutsu Kaisen."

But if even the title is taken from "reincarnation"... doesn't it seem like a lot of things are connected?

4. I checked again the stations where the "return train" stops

I'm sorry for the many questions,Half of them are important scenes in Jujutsu KaisenThis is also a sign that Itadori isIt is the same as being a very important station.Right?
if,The fact that the "transport train" rotates like a "samsara"If you are referring to, ,
Stations can be likened to turning points in life.I think.

Hmm, as expected of Jujutsu Kaisen, it's deep...

It's also interesting that Shinjuku is the beginning and the end, is it really a coincidence?

The reason why I think Itadori in the OP was also on a "return train"

To summarise the above considerations:

• Itadori and his friends board the trainIt is difficult to imagine that the "out-of-service train" is a normal out-of-service train.(Normally, passengers are not allowed to board the train; the electronic bulletin board indicates that the train is traveling in the wrong direction.)
• FinallyMany of the stations it stops at are on the Yamanote LineThat is,The name of the train and the title "Kaiwa"From the character "It can be associated with "reincarnation."
• Same in the OPThere is a scene where he is riding on a train with no one on board.

It looks like this.
So I came up with a hypothesis!

Itadori is,The world of "magic" is like a cycle of reincarnation.,and.

Perhaps, everyone"Transport train"If we consider this hypothesis,Dot animation and OP1Itadori's return trainSo, Tojo hasFreedom to rideThere is,Maybe there is no freedom to get off the train on your own?I might.Jujutsu Kaisen is scary...

I don't care what it is, I just want everyone to be happy... (crying)

in the end

The station where the train stops is certainlyImportant locations in Jujutsu KaisenHowever, there is no officialVideos of trains running mainly on the Yamanote Line as "return trains" have been released., what does this mean?!This time we bring you the confusion that is plaguing otaku.
When you have time, please check out the official video!

There are lots of other little tidbits as well, making this a really fun video!
It is supposed to be for work, but fans will be overwhelmed by the amount of information.Therefore,Please enjoy it when you have time.Take a look!

Please note that the above speculations are merely the speculations and delusions of one otaku, so please enjoy your own speculations by watching the official video!
