The first two episodes of “Jujutsu Kaisen” season 3 premiered on Crunchyroll on January 8. At the end of both episodes, viewers were delighted to see a gorgeous and emotional new ending song and animation. Below, we’ll provide the lyrics’ translation to English.
The English Lyrics Reveal a Dark, Brooding Theme
Below you’ll see the English translation to the lyrics, as we know them so far. There are two sets of lyrics below. The first are from YouTube’s auto-generated English translation. The second set is from Google Analytics’ translation of the YouTube transcript for the song. The Google Analytics translation is in parentheses and italics after the YouTube translation, except in cases where the translation is the same.
We will update this story when a more official translation is available. But for now, this will give you an idea of just what the song is saying.
A the days grow darker, a shadow of a person appears.
(In these darkening days, a single shadow lingers.)
It feels pathetic, like I’m trying to buy forgiveness.
The seeds are rolling up and you are getting colder.
(The seeds I sowed are withering. You’re growing colder.)
With your outstretched hand cut through the hidden learning. Will it ever be the same again?
(Can’t we go back to how things were before you cut off the hand I extended?)
You move forward, destroying the future that is being swallowed up by the oncoming waves.
(I”m moving forward, destroying the future as I’m swallowed by the surging waves.)
Will the end ever come?
Even if I’m broken, pulled, and humiliated,
(Even if I’m shattered and dragged away,)
I’m not afraid of anything, because I’m completely empty anyway.
I hope that in the end, you will erase this day.
(When it’s all over, please please erase this day from my memory.)
I don’t want anything anymore.
I’m afraid of losing things again.
It’s almost morning, but the fog hasn’t cleared up yet.
(While carefully tracing its indistinct outline, I head towards my destination.)

On Reddit, fans are loving the ending song and can’t stop talking about how emotional it makes them feel.
“Yuji Itadori is probably my favourite fictional character of all time so watching this shit actually made me tear up,” one person wrote.
“This is a spiritual feeling, especially the beginning. The artwork is amazing. It’s like Yuji is contemplating the meaning of it all. 10/10,” another person commented.
