Jujutsu Kaisen: Hidden Inventory is already poised to be one of the most emotional anime films of the year, and early preview audiences in Japan are confirming just that. The movie adapts the beloved Hidden Inventory arc, diving deep into the complicated relationship between Satoru Gojo and Suguru Geto. But it is not just the explosive action or heartbreaking betrayal that is drawing attention, it is one final montage of never-before-seen scenes added just before the credits roll. And according to fans lucky enough to attend the early screenings, those few minutes broke them.

With a slow acoustic version of "Ao no Sumika" playing softly in the background, the film closes with a quiet, emotional slideshow of photos capturing tender and unspoken moments between Gojo, Geto, and their classmates, according to @Go_Jover on X. Unlike the arc’s tragic conclusion, this ending pays tribute to the gentler, happier times that once existed, and were ultimately lost. The imagery, combined with the music, has moved audiences to tears, offering a haunting yet beautiful farewell to a friendship that never fully healed.

A Bittersweet Glimpse Into the Past of Gojo and Geto

A Peek Into the Happier Days of Jujutsu Kaisen

The surprise montage begins innocently enough, with a heartwarming graduation photo of Gojo and Shoko. What follows is a series of nostalgic snapshots that paint a fuller picture of the friend group’s dynamic during their high school years, with Gojo, Geto, Shoko, Nanami, and Haibara playing soccer, sharing meals, and goofing off in candid moments. These images are a stark contrast to the somber reality of the characters' fates, reminding fans of the joy that once united them. It is a quiet but powerful emotional gut punch.

As the slideshow continues, the mood shifts subtly. A picture of Gojo watching Geto sleep feels especially intimate, showing how deeply he cared even as they drifted apart. Another photo of Gojo and Geto pulling silly faces offers a rare look at their bond when it was untouched by ideology or trauma. These scenes are dialogue-free, but they speak volumes about the love, camaraderie, and innocence that tragedy eventually erased. It is no wonder fans left theaters openly weeping.

A Closing Image That Says Everything in Jujutsu Kaisen: Hidden Inventory

Gojo and Geto's Story Closes with a Picture Worth a Thousand Regrets

The final image is the most emotionally charged, as it is a photo from the group’s entrance ceremony. Shoko stands between Gojo and Geto, who are turned away from each other, as if in the middle of a fight. It is a quietly devastating image, symbolizing how their relationship began to fracture even in its earliest days. This visual slideshow, paired with the melancholy guitar of "Ao no Sumika," drives home the heartbreak of everything that followed.

Rather than end on the explosive chaos of the arc’s climax, the film chooses a more introspective note. This emotional montage reframes Jujutsu Kaisen: Hidden Inventory not just as a story of loss and betrayal, but as a memorial to a friendship that could not survive the world it was born into. For longtime fans, it is a reminder of what made Gojo and Geto’s bond so special, and why its loss hurts so much.
