| Great episode, really loved Megumi's backstory. Dang he had a pretty messed up childhood =| 5/5 episode, amazing fight scene too during Megumi's Chimera Shadow Garden Domain Expansion. |
 |
In these 23 episodes there have been plenty of issues with the series, being the Junpei arc the only "above average" arc, and it only lasted like 6 episodes that had no consequence afterwards besides introducing Mahito. Things like bad pacing, bad characters, power levels being barely explained, inconsistent lore, bad fights, bad power ups, terrible comedy, and so on. This show only have one good thing and it´s production, everything coming from the manga is mediocre at best. Also, you only have JJK in your manga list, don´t expect me to critique everything of the series if you are not going to take the criticism at all. |

Sourire said: damn you're trying really hard Not at all. I tried really hard to like the anime (and I planned on reading the manga even) but this never clicked with me in any way. I can´t even say I am the biggest fan of Kimetsu and yet I found that one a lot better in many things compared to JJK, which just feels like a bad ripoff of so many different things, with the main idea of Bleach and Ao no Exorcist. |
| Mappa blew my mind again with such great adaptation the Domain Expansion was really well done, Gojou's lesson was great as well maybe on par. |

I was honestly just curious that a fellow manga reader considered the story full of plot holes. I was wondering if you were jumping to conclusions, and lo and behold you give me the perfect example. You assumed I've only read JJK. Therefore I am a braindead fanboy. Not only is this a dumb generalization, but it's built off an incorrect assumption. I only put JJK cause I'm currently watching it. I can see now why you might think JJK has "too many plotholes and contrivances." Can you give me some specific examples that really bothered you? |
| Wow Megumi's Domain Expansion? I didn't expect that about his hidden power....  Totally nice surprise ^.^ |
 (っ◔◡◔)っ 𝓘 𝔀𝓲𝓼𝓱 𝔂𝓸𝓾 𝓪𝓵𝓵 𝓱𝓪𝓿𝓮 𝓪 𝔀𝓸𝓷𝓭𝓮𝓻𝓯𝓾𝓵 𝓭𝓪𝔂 ♥ |
| The powerup from Megumi was so fucking awesome!!! And I see those flashbacks of Megumi, so he and Gojo goes all the way back. And that's neat, he's actually a part of the Zenin Clan, although not officially in it. And there is an intense battle with this buff dude, looks like this battle will cap of this first season of what has been an amazing anime. |
 |
| Megumi is a CHAD. That whole fight scene was so badass, I felt chills while watching his domain expansion. Also it was interesting to see his backstory and understand more about Megumi's character and his view on the world. I really liked seeing how Gojo and Megumi met and also how much Gojo helps him even now as a teacher. What a great episode! Juju Stroll was amazing, as a Gojo simp MAPPA served up a feast with those frames! |
 |
| So Gojou's advice to Megumi was more or less "Hey! Stop playing safe and act more recklessly", huh? Pretty shounen, not gonna lie. Still quite fitting tho. Amazing episode. Megumi's mindset, though a little bit "edgy" for a teenager, totally caught my interest. Not to mention I'm glad he acknowledged in the end he was taking it way too seriously with his kindhearted step-sister. Animation and fights were top notch as always and goddamn, Megumi's Domain Expansion looked so dope despite it being "incomplete". A perfectly directed episode all in all. By the way, this week's Juju Scroll was among the funniest ones this series has. Gojou fanservice is getting out of control tho. Like HOT DAMN!  |
| Damn Megumi's domain expansion was badass although a bit underwhelming tbh. I just think there's not much buildup to it. |
 |
| Not happy about next week being the last episode :'( |
 |
| JJK still top notch in the entertainment department. we got to see "incomplete" domain expansion of Fushiguro! 5/5. |
 |
| Mappa gave Eso mild bdsm outfit, that's sad. Got some nice screenshots of Satoru this episode, so pretty...  Those Jojo hands...  How can Fushiguro keep this straight face after seeing those eyes? My eyes would go 👀.  Satoru's acting like some pervert there XD That Juju stroll was too funny XD It's nice to see Fushiguro grow stronger slowly. He was some delinquent in his middle school, so shocking.  Fushiguro's personality just became opposite in that moment. |
| Megumi's domain expansion was so dope even though it was incomplete. After seeing Megumi's past, I can say that Megumi had been through a lot. His parent ran away, his sister got curse and Gojou said that Megumi was the Zenin that got cast away because of his father's decision to marry with a non-sorcerer woman. |
| Wait, next week is the end of the season? Am i wrong or does this not feel like a finale of the season arc ? I cant imagine how they would make the next episode in such a way for it to be an exciting last episode, its kind of strange. At least we got some sexy Gojo content this time, we are feasting |
 |
| Fushiguro Greatness!!! Domain Expansion MAPPA doesn't miss at all.. wtf My god Gojou on Juju Scroll LMAO |
 |
| Megumi domain looks intereseting, but that brother "thing"...ugh. |

| Whoever animated Megumi's fight deserves a raise |

Bullshit. There is nothing good on this show outside of the Junpei arc, which again, wasn´t really important in the long run outside of showing Mahito. |
| Nice to finally see more of Megumi's potential. That giant smile of his is both badass and terrifying. Gojou's facial expressions in Megumi's flashback was funny. Gojou really is a top tier troll. |

This is explained in the manga. (Did you call Shibuya an "edge-fest" without even reading it?) 2. He personally trained with Gojo for over 2 months. "biggest prodigy" if you mean Megumi he's suicidal and if you mean Todo Yuji's weaker. 3. Rewatch episode 4 it was explained. 4. Low-tier students like Maki? Rewatch episode 17 it was explained. 5. Subjective opinion not a plothole. 6.Don't exaggerate. Itadori died once, and because of that death Sukuna let Junpei die as a consequence. 7. Subjective opinion not a plothole(at least you admit it) 8. Explained in the manga/next episode(seriously did you even read the manga?) 9.Not actively trying to kill each other is apparently your standard for friendship. Okay lol. |
| Damn Nice work Mappa on consistent pace from the beginning until the end Next week is last ep :( |

| Oh shit I didn't realize but Megumi sneak attacked the curse from inside it's shadow. |
| More Megumi and Tsumiki backstory and a decent fight, solid episode all around. Looking forward to Yūji and Nobara's fight against the two brothers. |
| Rushing into close combat is ever Itadori's style. Still the combat animations for this battle really was top notch. Megumi letting go of his composed and calm nature and going all out was a moment long overdue. His defeat of his opponent really was impressive and bold. Back in school Megumi really was quite different. Hmm so Tsumiki was actually Megumi's stepsister. Despite Megumi's words she was someone that really made an impact on him and served to make him into who he is today. On the other front Kugisaki and Itadori sure are facing quite the odd but powerful fellow. Curious at how their fight will play out. Overall an excellent ep that while featuring an excellent fight with Megumi as the focus also served to expand upon his character substantially via the insight into his past and his revelation in the present. |

| Alright, it's about time for Fushiguro to let loose, and Daddy Gojo did just that. You don't typically expect Fushiguro to be the wild and unbound sorcerer since he always attempted to retain his cool at all time, but this time, he didn't. DOMAIN EXPANSION! [Chimera Shadow Garden] While his domain expansion is incomplete and pretty much exhaust the life out of him. The fact that he managed to exorcise Sukuna finger's host which turns out to be more powerful than the one before, that speaks volume for how much stronger Fushiguro has become and the incredible potential he actually has in the future... And of course the painfully required backstory for Fushiguro. One of the problems is the fact that they prematurely show off bits of some character's backstory VERY early on in the series. Why? Is that supposed to be some kind of preview or some way to artificially create ane emotional attachment between the audience and the characters before we even got to know the characters yet. Frankly, it's unorthodox and quite silly. HOWEVER! The backstory of Fushiguro Megumi with his half-sibling; Tsumiki that is shown right now, this... THIS is the natural way of showing off the backstory, it's appropriate and it makes sense. Anyways seems like Megumi's outlook on the philosophy of 'good and bad' are his own, he despises people of both sides for his own reasons, to the point of being disgusted with his own sister, but it pretty much changed when his sister is cursed. Now matured and no longer a rebellious kid anymore, he only wishes that his sister would wake up already so that he could apologize. That's a sweet relation they got there, it's quite heartwarming indeed. Oh, turns out Megumi's father is part of the Zen'in clan, which makes Megumi part of it too, yeah I know, crazy right? That would make Maki and Mai his distant cousins or something. On a more comedic note, this week's Jujutsu Stroll is the most hilarious one by far, I love seeing the antics these 3 students under Gojo, especially when Gojo himself are involved in. Love it. |

| Megumi is a BEAST!! For a minute, I thought this was a JJBA crossover. |
 "Are you intoxicated, or just insane?" |
| Great. Megumi powered up. Man Gojou looked creepy in the end. Wonder who cursed his sister. |
| More Megumin backstory = me happy. But, let me guess, this season's gonna end with a major cliffhanger, right? |

There are no martial arts or gifted genetics that puts you above Usain Bolt levels of speed or destroy buildings just by running through them. -Yes, and in 2 months he is able to do a domain expansion, something that not even the top of the sorcerers outside of the Gojo-tier can do. Bullshit. -They just said "There´s this thing called cursed energy and it works like every other chakra-ki thing" that´s it. Technically any person can be a sorcerer by that logic. -Itadori was being the main attacker when he fought alongside Todo. He either sandbagged or Itadori is just that good for no reason. -Not only Maki, pretty much everyone in Gojo´s school is better and by a longshot, even the panda. Which makes the whole "Whose school is better" pointless. As if the conflict wasn´t already -Comedy being terrible and NObara´s backstory being stupid are very objective. I said they don´t matter because of what happens to her in Shibuya. -They didn´t explained anything regarding the next arc or why the tournament was even important, but this is a shonen so we need fights even if they are unnecesary. Jujutsu is mediocre, with great production values. As simple as that, I don´t even know why people hyped it up that much. |

| Damn the animation again though and Fushiguro do be unlocking more of his powers, interested in how powerful he will be. |
 |
| Holy crap did Megumi just snap? Let's hope his sister survives this. |
 |
| Domain Expansion from Fushiguro, even an incomplete one, is huge. I appreciate the unique take this series takes to character power growth and technique development. Certainly not a smooth curve at all- but rather characters being pushed, even by something small, and changing. |
 |
| Another finger has been found, nice Megumi and also nice backstory. That domain moment was also great. Was a great episode overall. Now for the last episode! P.S. What was that post-credits scene, lol. |
Come on man,where is that Noragami season 3 masterpiece.We want it, Bones! |
| Wouldn't the backstory be more efective if it was presented before the fight? Oh well, at this point I'm glad they at least tried to put something in here instead of the casual "let's get the quickest excuse for a fight to happen". And finally, one episode to finish this |
 |
Sourire said: FMmatron said: Eso deserves to shine in his JOJOtsu Kaisen outfit.Indeed a shame that the anime didn't show him in all his glory. What's the point of having R rated anime if you censor like that lol Anyway, Megumi domain expansion was sick and this time I was actually feeling the OST. MAPPA saw what Malaysia has been up to with AOT and decided to follow suit  Are you fucking kidding me AHAHAHAHA |
