The opening credits of _Jujutsu Kaisen_ seem to be fairly straightforward:
both openings mostly contain scenes of the major characters who will appear in
the forthcoming episodes.

In the second opening, there is one brief scene that I am not able to link to
any of the episodes. Can someone identify what this scene represents, in
particular, whether it is linked to any of the events in the anime? A
screenshot is given below, followed by a description of the scene.

question
theme-song jujutsu-kaisen
What is this dark alleyway scene from the second opening credits of Jujutsu Kaisen?


I believe the scene pictured **happened in the past** , and **shows
Past!Noritoshi Kamo** doing... something, presumably related to the Cursed
Wombs (since they are the focal points of the last few episodes). We can infer
the scene is set in the past because of the architectural style and the
soldiers' uniform. Also, Past!Noritoshi Kamo was shown in a flashback during
episode 24, depicted with an umbrella hiding his forehead and scalp. The
character in the opening could certainly fit with Kamo's depiction:

As to _what_ is actually happening in the scene, I do not know. But it
certainly is Kamo doing something related to the Cursed Wombs in his own era.
