Jujutsu Kaisen: Execution — Should You Stay After the Credits?

Let me save you a seat and a few minutes: if you were hanging around hoping for a big stinger after Jujutsu Kaisen: Execution, don’t. The movie does its job as a recap-and-bridge, but it doesn’t tack on a proper post-credits scene.

Does Jujutsu Kaisen: Execution have a post-credits scene?

Short answer: nope. There is no visual scene after the credits — nothing you need to wait for at the very end. You can stand up when the credits roll and you won’t miss any story content.

What does happen: after the main credits wrap, there’s a quick audio cue that plays for a couple seconds. No footage, just sound. It’s a tiny nod, not a game-changer, and totally optional. If you’re curious, hang for that brief audio stinger; if not, you’re free to bail.

Why all the confusion? Execution is part recap, part setup for Season 3, so people expected a tease. Recent anime films have also trained fans to look for these things (looking at you, Chainsaw Man), which only fueled the rumor mill about a secret easter egg. But again: no hidden scene here, just that brief audio blip.

What the movie actually covers

This is a polished feature that recaps the Shibuya Incident from Season 2 and folds in what essentially amounts to the first two episodes of Season 3. It bridges the fallout of Shibuya into the start of Itadori’s Extermination arc, setting the table for the Culling Game ahead.

Does it work as a bridge?

Yeah. It moves smoothly from Shibuya’s chaos into the next phase. It may feel a bit rushed if you’re coming straight off Season 2 (hard not to, given how dense that run was), but the pace makes sense for a theatrical package. As a reset before Season 3 cranks the dial again, it clicks.

Standouts worth calling out

Naoya Zenin’s entrance is the big swing. The movie tees him up with that cool, cutting confidence that reads instantly: problem incoming. His quick clash with Choso and Yuji is short but loud — enough to tell you he’s going to be a real headache going forward.

The Shibuya recap is handled better than you might expect from a compilation. It doesn’t feel like a chopped-up highlight reel; it carries the tension, emotion, and full-on insanity of the arc surprisingly well for a feature-length pass.

And the animation? MAPPA goes hard. Some sequences look even cleaner than parts of Season 2 — crisp, aggressive, very flex-y. If they keep this level in Season 3, the internet will do what it always does: combust.
