Freakboy69 said: when did I ever say anything bad about Nobara?ttcchen said: now that i think of it, this episode is chapter 8 in the manga. I originally wanted to drop the manga before i read ch8, but the innovative characterization of the supposedly powerup tool, Sukuna, had me keep going, and I'm glad i did. I think those who dropped it were like me except they didn't reach ch8 before writing this off as another cliche shounen manga and thinking Sukuna is just like Kurama (what i thought at first). Lmao. And yet you went off at someone and called them a hypocrite earlier in the thread for talking shit about the female character. Neat. Really neat. |
| Sukuna is in control hell yeah I couldn't ask for more. |
| lmao this anime can bounce the mood so well sometimes, especially the first scene. But after that, shit escalated fast, special grade curse popping up and clapping Itadori hard. Nice small monologue from him before, what looks like, he amounted up a curse of his own. Also loved the short but swear explanation of the curse grades. Was wondering when they would explain what each grade meant, and when they did, it was surprisingly straight forward and made a lot of sense to me. Ooooow, ngl even as an antagonist, i feel like imma love Sukuna's character a lot. Dude's badass as shit, got some pretty good one liners, and just straight up claps, i mean the guy just fucking cheese grated that other special grade curse like it was nothing. Looking forward to the next episode, Itadori seems to be out cold, Sukuna's gonna wreck havoc. |
 "yabe." |
| I want to pet one of Megumi's doggos >_< so fluffy. Finger scene had me wincing...damage to that part of the body always does....and it looks like other people love Sukuna's scenes as well. Yes, his attitude and voice are really cool...so now I have to look up who he is...  Pfffft of course. |
  |
| Holy fuck, this show does NOT fuck around! I almost have concerns that this series is playing too many of its cards too early. How is power going to continue to scale reasonably when Sukana is so grossly overpowered? |

| And now, the first years have finally faced their first serious mission together. A few steps into the mission and they're already a mess, different ideals and priorities, not to mention basically zero training exercises together, of course, it's not question why their teamwork is so horrible. They could've truly fucked up and died if not for Sakuna fighting off this special grade curse. Speaking of which... HOLY SHIT. If this is a special grade curse, the Sakuna, the king of curse, is really the top of the top. He doesn't even break a sweat, just casually flexing his power on this pipsqueak. Out of the 3 first years, Itadori is the one that really got his eyes opened. He was naive and overconfident is his ability when in reality, he's nothing more than an above-average human in these strong curses' perspective. He's literally dead if not for Sakuna's help, although seeing how he isn't able to switch back to himself says otherwise... This is getting really interesting... |

| Nice episode but the comedy in this show is out of place sometimes.. |
 |
| Good episode. Thought the show was heading to a monster-of-the-week formula till the big guns come out but shit escalated faster than I thought. Sukuna's overpowered as expected from the king of curses. Quite the convenient powerup. Lets see how matters scale from here. |
 |
| Man Yuuji is very OP that I'm afraid that it's gonna screw up power scaling in this show. |

| this episode showcased how strong Sukuna actually is, and its crazy. Im not entirely sure Gojou could take him on at his full power. not like I have an idea how powerful Gojou is, its just a feeling. |
| Fantastic episode, I don't remember a shounen getting this good so fast since FMA and the Nina episode |

I loved how cocky Gojou seemed when saying he would win against him though. It would probably be a fight for the ages regardless of who wins. |
| Holy-! That's some instant karma over there! O_O; I bet the curse didn't like the sensation of being cutted or mocked XD Oh boy, that doesn't sound too good now that Sukuna's dominating Yuuji's body and the body hadn't regain conciousness X( at least he got his hand and fingers back. Great episode as always! How fantastic! :D |

| Pretty cool special grade curse design there, and pretty formidable, until itadori switched that is. I’m guessing the finger is what gave it massive power |
  NYANPASU  whiskey tango foxtrot |
| Damn they got destroyed at first but Sukunaaa easily destroyed the curse. Loved how after he won he just told Yuuji to switch, but oh boy, he's not answering. What's going to happen!? |
Come on man,where is that Noragami season 3 masterpiece.We want it, Bones! |
| Uh-oh, he's not switching back. That can't end good. |
"At some point, I stopped hoping." |
| One thing I appreciated here was that Itadori got a desperate shonen power-up in the form of figuring out how to use Cursed Energy and it was functionally worthless since the curse womb just blocked no diff. I like that, not relying on the typical shonen power-up out. And even if they did rely on it, it fit in line with everything we knew about Curse Energy, so it wouldn't have felt like a Deus Ex regardless. I also quite liked them showcasing the power gap between him and Sukuna. Sukuna was a pretty interesting figure, I liked him trying to figure out to best screw over Itadori for using him as an easy win button, even if he eventually just ended up doing what Itadori wanted due to the Curse not going along with him. Considering Itadori wasn't able to switch back at the end, I'm guessing the purpose of this arc is to remove Sukuna as a win option. That the risk of releasing him will be so great that Itadori can't go through the series switching to him to defeat any enemy to powerful. Which is good, since having the easy win button is lame, and makes Sukuna functioning as such here the best option for the story. |
| Sakuna shat on that special-grade curse like it was nothing. I wonder what Sakuna will do now that Itadori isnt able to switch back.... maybe kill some people? |
 |
| Oh great episode, all the light-hearted buildup surely prepared us for this curveball! |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| I kinda like Sakuna |
| Well, this anime trying hard to be a Mob Psycho/XXXholic for teenagers, looks like a stupid caricature. Local characters were not enough annoying I assume so author added another one. |
| What a chapter, it was very good. |
| Their first mission as a team, Kugisaki and Itadori are in sync, and it's amusing to see them acting childish This curse is a lot tougher than they thought of and it's just playing with them now the only option is to run Itadori heard the signal and it's time for him to bring out Sukuna, he's stronger than that average special grade curse, And things might have gone bad. |
  |
| i guess Itadori basically can get injured over and over again with no consequences since it can just be healed. bummer i really wish Itadori wasn't so chill with a demon occupying his body. he basically always has someone watching him, and hears his voices as well. but i guess Itadori is a special case and not exactly normal also Sukuna seems pretty chill as well, he kinda just accepted the fact that he needs to beat the curse dude and switch out |

| this show is getting pretty damn sick, I am really enjoying this so far! |
If you don't like me, acquire some taste |
| This wasn't as good as the previous ones, so Megumi has the animals and Nobara has her nails and Itadori get one hand chopped and the fingers of his other hand destroyed because he is just there? Is so weird having this guy just going to this mission when you know he doesn't have any skill to deal with this curses or whatever , outside of the whole he has to eat the fingers stuff, the whole episode just felt like it was just dragging itself to have Sukuna showcase himself so he could do whatever he is going to do next episode. And of course Nobara is the first one out, this shounen never change, lol. |
| Ahh Man special grades are crazy powerful....funny thing's that some are even more powerful like look at the difference between that cursed womb and 2 finger'd Sukuna....Pretty good animation in this episode filled with violence just like in the manga |
| Another junk episode. Seriously, this anime is literally copying every other anime adapted from the Shounen Jump mangas. Why was this shit anime successful? |
| Okay but Itadori should* just be screaming in agony due to his hand. Sukuna isn't 'out'. What? Okay so there just SO happens to be one of Sukuna's fingers in that thing. Aight. |
| Surprised that when Yuuji pet the dog, it didn't bite back I'm finally getting that fearsome atmosphere feeling from this anime, as the curses look scary as well. |

| Damn that escalated quickly. Itadori just lost his hand and his fingers in mere seconds against that special curse. This episode showed definitely the fucked up and gory side of Jujutsu Kaisen, not that I would complain at all :D Holy shit Sukuna is strong. He just toyed with that curse as it was nothing. I don't even want to think of what happens if they collect all his fingers. Talking about fingers, surprisingly enough this curse also was in possession of one, so this makes 3. At the end it looked like Itadori wasn't able to switch back, which means very bad news. Looking forward to the next episode. |

| Sukuna is fricking wild! |

| Sukuna is a monster... no, he's a curse |
 |
| The monster designs in this show are fucking whack |
| Sukuna's domain expansion was interesting, at least. |
 |
| Itadori had that "snap back to reality" moment in this episode. LOL Great episode btw. |
Graduated High School in May of 2022. Summer vacation has finally arrived. I have once again regained the power of a new anime fan, being able to watch multiple anime episodes in a day. Time to binge-watch every single anime I can into the night until college arrives. SADGE. SUPER SADGE... College has begun as of Monday, August 30, 2022, so you won't be seeing me much around these parks. See you on weekends, I guess... School me is back. Sigh! I'll at least try for one anime a day with all this course load. |
| That domain expansion scene was badass, I love overpowered characters. |
| I am not a weeb, I simply enjoy 2D girls |
