The crisp New York air bites at the cheeks of the Jujutsu sorcerers, a stark contrast to Tokyo's humidity. Central Park bustles around them, a chaotic backdrop for their misadventure. The younger generation—Megumi, Nobara, Yuji, Panda, Yuta, Toge, and Maki—sprint ahead, oblivious to the stares of bewildered tourists and eager weeaboos. Behind them, the seniors trail, a disparate group bound by language barriers. Gojo, Shoko, Nanami, Yuki, Utahime, and MeiMei walk in loose formation, their voices weaving a tapestry of Japanese that means nothing to the passing Americans. The disconnect is palpable, a humorous wall between the sorcerers and the city that never sleeps.
