Tried to search the forum but the search function won't let me use '0' as a term. what does the 0 ohm resistor do that a jumper would not? tried googling, too, and could only come up with references to them being used as jumpers on PCBs.

0-ohm resistors are indeed just jumpers.
I don't own the Kaiju kit. But i've seen use of 0 ohm resistors to act as a jumper in 2 occasions (in my own BH kit and pictures of others). Using a short wire can be a pain (because you need some length to be able to strip its insulation).
1. To reference speaker output to ground. Used here because a 0-ohm resistor is easier to work with in short lengths vs thin wire.
2. To function as an insulated jumper on a PC board. Where the short length of the resistor comes in handy and it's insulated from the copper connections just below it.
Maybe the crew will add a few functions i don't think off.

Tom S nailed it.
