THE GREATEST UNKNOWN, Part 1. THE GREATEST UNKNOWN (2023) is King Gnu at their most literary, and the vocabulary is correspondingly formal. SPECIALZ, the Jujutsu Kaisen theme, is built from set phrases about brinkmanship - 今際の際, 往生際, 御法度, 有耶無耶 - and Senryo Yakusha stages life as a theatre: 出鱈目, 茶番劇, 緞帳, 走馬灯.
