AHH OKAY the official art for the Shibuya Incident Arc OST is out (it will release January 24th, 2024) and I have so much to say about it!!
Suguru reflected in the young side of Satoru, his smile, the bright look in his eyes—that side alone looks like it could be in a Ghibli movie or something else lighthearted.
Then on the right side, there’s no Suguru. Based on context clues, since he’s looking at Suguru on the left side, who he is probably looking at on the right is Kenjaku, but there’s no reflection. Because he doesn’t see Suguru. The sadness in his eyes, the frown, the blood on his face—it looks like the cover of a horror story. (It basically is Satoru’s personally crafted horror fantasy come to life).
I am actually SO obsessed with this artwork. It is BEAUTIFULLY done. My god. The artist for this piece (please tell me who it is if you know) really captured the soul of the Shibuya Incident. Ugh. Yes. Yes yes yes.
(Side note: I am eagerly anticipating the name of the nostalgic, slightly creepy piano song that played when Satoru saw Suguru’s face again/was getting sealed. My guesses are either ‘Blue Spring’ or ‘Gate Open’.)
