Thread of JJK OP 2 Analysis

these are just some general thoughts

overall I think the op has recurring themes of death & growth esp since it rains throughout

constant rain can represent mourning but also growth since floods cause death but you need water for flourishing crops
recurring themes of growth in the water could be representative of yuuji's own growth in the series esp since there's a plant growing from sukuna's finger in op 1

I think the fish (also in op 1) is mahito because mahito plays a part in yuuji's (forced) growth
the ants on the bread precede this scene of mahito with blood on his face

ants are used to symbolise insignificance & death (mahito)

they're eating bread (nanami) which makes me think of how mahito ate at nanami's shaky belief in the significance of the gratitude of others
there are shots of fragile things like bubbles bursting & butterflies before the kids finally stand with nanami representing their growth from kids to actual shamans

after these shots is geto with a plated curse showing that the duty they now have as shamans is gruelling
the idea that a shamans duty is tough and also hard to navigate is shown by utahime being wary in a forest with looming trees & nanami trying to carry on as normal despite the constant hardships & challenges he faces
shots where one eye is emphasised/has light are meant to show their priorities

the manga has a constant motif where the left eye = the individual & the right eye = the collective (or something to that effect)

gojo & sukuna = individualistic

nanami & yuuji = collectivist
you've probably seen people saying blue flowers represent the impossible since blue flowers don't exist in real life but I think they're also meant to remind us of gojo's blue eyes & evoke a connection to gojo's technique bringing the impossible (infinity) into reality
