loll Nanami's monotonous voice was absolutely the best! I read it in the manga but HEARING it like that and his hate for all things work was just hilarious. I also DIED AT THE END AFTER CREDITS 🀣 GOJO IS A CHILD 🀣

This episode was really good, really liked it.

For one, the bullying scene was interesting, in spite of how ad-nauseam such scenes have gotten for me. Even though those three died, people will sob over them just because of how young they were during the incident, disregarding whether they were horrible human beings or not - that's how it always goes, for better or worse. It's a posthumous effect that inevitably occurs in every case. The guy didn't blatantly want them to die though, his feelings are a little more complicated - that makes me wonder: what will he do once - and if - gaining power?

such an eventful episode, sveral character introductions, more background about curses and jujutsu. sometimes i get messy by the pacing but it always keeps me awake

love the Satoru and Nanami's dynamics and even with different charismas they care about Itadori. Nanami's thoughts aloud and "lessons" are just great

very hyped about Junpei and Mahito's meeting! waiting for their incipient training. and i really like the seiyuus' work

I don't know if I should be reading the subtitle or stare at Satoru's SEXINESS (βŠ™_βŠ™)

But damn those details of teeth and nostrils, MAPPA is doing such a great job...

The way Satoru was messing with Nanami at the end tho XD

I missed Fushiguro this episode.

- NANAMI KENTO, the ex-salaryman sorcerer! ITADORI's got a partner.

- 00:17 "I get why you'd do it, YOSHINO-chan."
- 04:28 "Can i do that too?"
- 08:52 "If both are equally shit, i'll take the one i am more suited to."
- 18:56 "What kind of curse are you, MAHITO-san?"

I like NANAMI's character. Excited for the next episode!

Thank You :)

Gosh I just feel like everything about this show has been adapted to perfection and is such a breath of fresh air. The aesthetic, concept/ lore and set up is just incredible. And the dialogue and pacing is amazing too. They aren't holding back with any censorship and are going all out with the beautiful animation. This arc is gonna be amazing πŸ”₯
Side note, I feel like I've heard Nanami's VA play like 5 different characters this year and yet this one feels the most fitting πŸ˜‚ He's one cold and calculated mf

Ok so Nanami is the best character so far. His design is really nice and the way he talks is great. Also, I am sure Mahito I'd gonna be like antagonist of Arc. I hope to see what he does and what he can do with cursed energy.

Okay, this is a detective play for me, more case, but its looks like a trap for those mature man. Well, i know nothing!

So, beside the introduction of Kenjirou char, this is also an introduction of Itadori's new friend, Junpei. Idk. It seemed to be like that. Maybe, Itadori will learn that Junpei was not much a guilty from this incident. Even though he looked like so suspicious by his appearance, Itadori will learn a thing from those guy, and took him out from his wrong minds. Or not? Then, Nanami will learn Mahito's power out by duelling him alone. I hope he is okay in the next episode.

Yea, a cliffhanger again. The justification scary shit moment was fine. Its portrayed how Junpei and those three punk related with each others that led them into a certain gruesome death. I mean, yeah, you has been cursed, guys! Mahito, even if his role was indeed a bad side of a cursed thing, i am satisfied enough with his action there. Indeed, those punks need to keep their manners up. But, its only just that. ecause knowing his intention was too crazy to be accepted. Experimenting, manipulating, a human's fears and hatred, to be like him, an awful look cursed being instead. Interesting direction of the storyline....

Well, Itadori finally been able to controlled his cursed energy and chanting it properly, by using a punch as 'his technique'. Such a good progression, i feel a nostalgia with that. While Nanami, well, a nice technique you had there, salaryman. Instead of a powerful one blow attack like Gojou fire elementalist outcome, he used his curse energy to pinpointed out a weak point of his enemy. Then, with a single slash of a normal weapon, he could easily defeated the opponent. Okay, a solid explanations, i guess.

Skipping some other explanations about Nanami's plan to investigate alone, and making Itadori to progressed into another scene, its safe for me to say, this is indeed a nice episode for just a mere introduction to those three characters. Okay, its enough for me. Lets hoping to the next episode!

Whaaat for real? Then I didn’t realise it until now because I didn’t know who he was until this episode lol


It’s still a spoiler lol because it hasn’t happened yet but it’s there.
then ur saying every scene in the OP is a spoiler since none of them have happened yet.

Some of them are just for visual show that only have a symbolic meaning, or subtle spoilers that are hard to pick up (the ones that make you think “wow it was in the OP all along but I didn’t even notice”, like most JoJo OPs). I doubt Yuuji will have a real scene riding the subway alone with a floor of water and fish swimming inside.

So no, I didn’t really pick any spoilers other than that. It’s mostly characters posing/showing their skills and looking cool.

cant say no more without spoiling but that really isn't a spoiler. you'll find out why in like 2 episodes or so.
and also even if it really is a spoiler, it's not the only one in the op. this opening has "reverse-spoilers" so just don't look into it too much.

Nanami look so cool! love his character, but on that next episode preview... Hope he won't die that early since Mahito look like the main antagonist, that would be sad.

Wonder why Junpei is going to join Jujutsu academy since the opening song shows him will be one... must be Itadori friendly speech...

Love this episode comedy, Gojo and Nanami are going to be ship by all fujoshi for sure.

Mahito made those three die like that was interesting to say the least. Kento is a pretty interesting teacher for Itadori this episode. Also, Gojou in sunglasses? Yes please.

The ending though! Gojou and Kento are great. Just the little note saying "penis╰⋃╯".

Oh, yeah. Gojo once more appears as the hottest character of the season... Yummi!

This guy that suffered bullying, he's at the opening. Is he gonna be a spy at the school? Or is he gonna be permanently at Itadori's side?

Itadori's fights, from now on, are going to be even more amazing. This punch with two waves of impact will let the animation superbe.

Dude, Junpei is a copycat of Jun from Persona 2, it even feels as it is the same character.

The series definitively does better when the adults are the main focus, now that we have another one introduced. Also, it was nice to see Itadori being useful for once.

this episode went hard but the only criticism I'll give, specifically for this episode was that it was a little lack lustre in terms of displaying emotions especially the part when Yuji realised that he partially killed a person. However, Kento Nanami is a sick character nonetheless

I actually liked the introduction of the episode. It felt for the first time this show care about making interesting characters. Which is why I got sad when it switch focus back to the MC afterwards and we got another round of jokes that took away any kind of emotional wight the show was building. At least we didn't had those weird shounen characters from last episode, so this one was at least a bit interesting

Their only similarity is their hairstyle, which speaks nothing since there are dozens of anime guys with that hairstyle. Ishigami Yuu is a great example. Their personality and background experience are nothing alike. You can compare but please don't blatantly call a character a "copycat" of another character due to surface level comparisons. That's a great insult and disrespect to not just the characters but also their respective authors.

Itadori showed a little of the result of the training and a new blow, the divergent fist. I'm curious to know what Mahito exactly is, the explanation he gave didn't really convince me.

Love the added detail of the watch on the ticket booth lady:

Which explains why the "curse" was saying "bento"


I like how the introduction of the three curses we saw like 2 episodes back was quite subtle



It was crying...
I wonder if it realized what has happened to its body...

What a softie you are. "Disrepect the characters" ... they literally don't exist, it's not like they are going to get hurt if random anime dude#999 in a forum says that a character is identical to another. Same stuff with the authors, I'm pretty sure no one is being hurt here, so why being so sensitive about it?

Also, I don't know if you have played P2, but they do resemble, not only in having the emo haircut. No comments on Ishigami, I don't really care about his character.

I really liked the mood of how this episode started. Very dark and grim. Really good episode.

Couldn't agree more!

This is definitley one of the better shounen out there :)
The new characters this episode were so much better than the two weirdos from last week. The animation & "monster" design (with the exception of the goofy volcano dude) are still amazing too. 5/5 imo.

I know I'm talking to a wall when I say this, but could the toxic fans chill for one episode pls. People criticizing the show aren't always "haters", comparing characters to others isn't disrespecting them (especially cause many of the characters in JJK are pretty trope heavy so far) & just because someone has a negative opinion on this show doesn't mean they aren't allowed to comment here (as long as they express their thoughts in a constructive/civil way). Y'all are embarassing.

Edgy? Id be edgy if I were like ainz from overlord, who kill people without motive. I just want bad people (these mf are literally torturers...) to die. And about the revenge part, do you really believe that letting these type of trash alive are the best option? Even if they're in jail, we still have to pay taxes to maintain these mfs locked.

Particularly nice balance and flow between the eeriness and the comedy, in this episode.

Tsuda Kenjirou is always a treat to listen to. I know it's built-in with Nanami's personality traits, but I appreciate him basically going "I'm an adult and you're a literal minor, at the end of the day. I'll be at the frontline, first and foremost".

Also: Gojou did not have to look that damn fine, in that one section.
