| Must be eerie walking through a town where the shops are open but complety empty of people. Nanami sure took a hell of a lotta damage in his fights. The stand of Nanami and his relaxed self sure was paired well with the music for that scene. Mahito really is the worst kind of villain. Intellgent and powerful but also a total wackjob. The fight between Yuji and him though was excellent though. |

| RIP NANAMI. Animators did a great job this episode still, although as a consumer I have to say that the start before the Nanami action was pretty lacking. The uses of Mahito’s technique are so creative.Story-wise, Im scared for next episode 🤞 |

Mappa needs to give their Animators a break after this bro...
Went from peak animation every episode to now a slideshow, and it doesn't help that they still need to ghost and dim their slide show.
They should stop airing until all episodes are finished otherwise the season is going to end badly and people will only view the season as how it ended and focus on the negatives rather than the positives.

This is the worst, there were some excellent moments and great previous episodes and they'll get buried under the characters' fingers that look like goddamn starfish. The animation/art/music was bad after Nanami, I just laughed at some slides. It's insulting what Mappa's doing to their creative teams. Speaking of Nanami... I loved the way they presented his unfulfilled wish for Malaysia, the blue sky, his laid back suit, the music, you'll always be in our hearts Nanami, even after crying on the daily, we still have plenty tears left to shed for you. Goddammit. |
| Wish there was an option here to mark an episode skipped. The piano was great. |
| Finally we are back to this artstyle after ep 16 and 17. Its a pretty good ep and I liked it way more than the previous. |
| Sukuna has laid waste to Shibuya, and Itadori...is reeling from the aftereffects of the aftermath. Nanami has been in the lesser spotlight for awhile, and this is both his recluse and rejuvenating moment as he thinks about the beaches of Kuantan, Malaysia, wanting a rest, other than eliminating cursed spirits over and over again. Simply a tragic melody piece for Kento Nanami, only for him to meet Mahito to accurse his end, only for Itadori to continue from there. Rest in Peace, peak man. That sets the precedent for Itadori's fight against Mahito, this being their 2nd time fighting against each other, a no holds barred fight. Yuji outwitting Mahito, even to the point of using transfigured humans, Mahito is just making the entrire Shibuya underground his playground, even to Jogo and the others, eventually running onto Nobara. Round 2: Mahiro vs. Nobara, it's gonna be one hell of a fight. |

| @FreshPinee there is no way in hell this was a slideshow. while this wasnt the same quality as the previous two episodes, this was still greatly done |
| I got Blue Screen after opening. xp Amazing that even if there is on music, there is still some noise in the background (like gray or brown noise, not sure which color. like subway from veeeery far away) I like Yuuji a lot, although I think Sukuna has nicer fightinh style |
   |
| Pretty good episode. Gosso boards awesome as usual and a bunch of new material too(that whole elevator scene including the Mahito smooch were anime original). Can't expect perfect quality every week, so I'm pretty satisfied if this is what we're getting until the season is over. Also RIP Nanami. Rest easy ex salary man |

| @Zimmu Totally agree with you. The artstyle was quite detailed with some really cool shots. Massive improvement in artstyle over the previous episode....in my opinion. |
| rip namami man fucking goat |
 |
| I can't enjoy it atm, the animators need a brake :/ |

| @btech2009 haha thx man. Our preferences are indeed quite similar! |
| Rest in peace Nanami san. I'm feeling very bad for Yuuji and worrying about Nobara. |
| When they make fights like previous episodes.. This one just will be forgotten lol but damn.. i don't want to think the worst at the end there.... :c |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| Gotta say this episode had a brutal moment. Nanami was having a vision of the afterlife or so since he is already on death's door. After Nanami took care of the transfigured humans or curses. Mahito shows up and Yuji shows up the moment Mahito was behind Nanami. Oh man. I was hoping Yuji should freaking run and get to business despite what happened. And I was angry at Yuji for not running and thinking about everything that has happened to him. But after all that has happened especially what Sukuna did. I am trying to understand that, and not be such a jerk on Yuji. At least Yuji could've maybe saved Nanami a little longer or be alive a little longer if he just not mope for too long after all that has happened. Then of course the event that was bound to happen thanks to the opening, Yuji vs Mahito. To think also Kugisaki would fight Mahito's clone. Mahito doing physical and psychological attacks is very crazy good. Yuji's mental state depending on the situation is a big opening for any enemy to exploit. I do not know how Yuji can overcome Mahito because Mahito is strong, and not easy to even take on alone. |
| Thank you Nanami for what you done. RIP 💔 |

Yeaaahh. This was the first episode where I was flat out disappointed with the animation. It was pretty bad. I had to rewind a couple of moments in the fights because it was unfollowable. I’ve really been enjoying this season too, so I was disappointed. |
| Is it just me or the directing was kinda strange in this episode? Well, Nanami was certainly one of the characters that existed. |
| If you're a fanboy, please don't waste my time. Watch more movies, please. Kafka, Fu Xuan, Jingliu, Topaz and Huohuo. |
| Damn, didn't expect Nanami would die. |
| The only reason I find any of this enjoyable is because of Gege's writing which has nothing to do with MAPPA. The direction is iffy, the storyboards are either great or bad there's no inbetween, the ost isn't terrible but it feels like its used randomly at times, and we all know the animation and art is suffering too. I'm ready to be disappointed by how they handle the conclusion of Shibuya. Can they (MAPPA & TOHO) move on and give JJK S3 to another studio? Culling game is doomed if this is the level we should expect. |

| It's sad to see more people latched on to the animation ( which is actually good considering how bad the conditions are) than what happened in this episode. Too many anime fans become hyper-critical about stuff they don't know shit about. |
| RIP Nanami. Damn you Mahito for killing off one of my favorite characters. I hope Itadori beats that cursed spirit into a pulp, but apparently there are two of them and Nobara is fighting one of them. It's Nobara's chance to shine now. |
 |
| Of course it wasn't as crazy as the last two weeks in terms of adaptation,but man the nanami scene with that piano was incredible <3. |
| RIP Nanami-san.. |
 |
| Itadori is still in there, although it looks like his enemy has prepared psychosocial counter measures. Mayhaps to even draw out Sukuna further my making MC lose his humanity further. Another epic eps |
 To have you, Id give a billion lives A-Chan best girl |
| Watched the ep and I think the chapters got the animation they deserve. It's on the average S1 quality imo and that's not bad, with some shots which looked really good. Respect to the animators for doing this under those circumstances. I am fine if the last 5 eps have the same quality, would be enough for them imo |
