In the confrontation between Mahito and Yuji & Todo, Mahito resorted to activating his Domain Expansion. However, this move had previously resulted in a face-off with Sukuna, as Sukuna possessed a more potent domain.
Thus, to employ his Domain Expansion without succumbing to Sukuna’s power, Mahito employed a tactic he recently acquired from Satoru Gojo. In the climax, Gojo unleashed his Domain Expansion for a mere 0.2 seconds, effectively eliminating numerous transfigured humans.

This clever insertion by the animation team hinted at Sukuna’s actual appearance in the anime, potentially years ahead of its anticipated adaptation on television.

The animation team’s rationale for embedding the Easter egg remains undisclosed. However, speculation suggests it might have aimed to stir anticipation among manga enthusiasts for upcoming animated sequences. Moreover, reported scheduling challenges with the anime production resulted in discontent among certain animators, with some expressing reluctance to continue working for MAPPA. This atmosphere of uncertainty surrounding the series might have influenced the decision to include the Easter egg.

Moreover, the animation team encountered substantial challenges regarding the anime’s scheduling, leading to discontent among several animators who expressed their refusal to continue working for MAPPA following this project. Consequently, the inclusion of the easter egg might have been a decision made by the uncertain team, considering their ambiguous future in handling the series.
