Probably the most expensive JJK episode (excluding the movie). Hand-to-hand combat is very hard to animated, and that is why almost every anime avoid a scenario like this.
This arc is very hard to adapt, and the director uses every cinematic language he knows to tackle this challenge, at the risk of leaning too much toward symbolism (you can see many signs in this episode that's reflect or metaphor the current situation). But sometimes the best answer is just go along the flow.

It´s sad the it´s like that, but if at least the animators had more time for those episodes, we would probably have a lot of banger fights about now.

Absolutely incredible episode. This shows why they fastforward through some fights until now, we´re just getting to the big ones and the big bucks need to be spent here. The proof that good things come to those who wait. I will definitely watch this again before the next week´s episode.

What an episode🔥🔥🔥. So damn good. Mappa went off with the choso and itadori fight. Best fight of the anime yet 👏. And a slap to the face of the people who were whining 24/7 about the artstyle and animation.

3:38 百歛 (byakuren) literally means "hundred tighten". As far as I'm aware this isn't a real Japanese word and Gege Akutami made it up himself. This is the case with a lot of technique names in JJK.

lol, this is really cool! They are displaying the technique names on the walls! There are also Chinese and Korean translations!

HOLY SHIT I TOTALLY FORGOT ABOUT SUKUNA HOOOLY
What happened to Choso? I expected him to instantly die but seems like it's something more interesting!
This was sooo good. Was this just a series of chapters of constant action in the manga?
But ngl I also feel really bad for Mappa. This season is just pure action and they have so much work to do.
Wait, there is a scene after credits!
Next episode preview: Lmao I agree with this so much
@Embient i read the manga...

This is the fight that I was waiting for and definitely not disappointed. Choso is one of my favorites and has such a human side to him as seen in his lost memory of his brothers all together.

Apart from the retarded dimming, this episode is pretty damn good and the animation is phenomenal, probably the best episode in S2 so far, that Chozo guy is pretty dangerous, he can fire laser beams and can use the blood to create an armor too, good stuff and 5/5 episode.

And what the hell happened in the end, it looks like Sukuna brainwashed Chozo or something, and now Chozo thinks Itadori is his brother? no idea, hopefully, this will be explained in the next episode.

I knew they were saving themselves! I had so many favourite episodes already this season, it's crazy. I know we got previews of this exact fight for the Shibuya start, but it blew my expectations. The directing was so good, the fight was brilliant and the even better ones are yet to come :D

Wowzers, the Yuji versus a Choso fight was definitely a beautiful one, they did such an amazing job with it, and the fight in general was very cool as well with Choso’s blood powers paired with Yuji’s efforts to counter such a strong ability. Sadly, our boy lost the fight (I think) which honestly is kinda nice to see, I like that Yuji can lose and isn’t stupid broken.

Only thing I didn’t like about it tho was the way the fight ended with Choso all the sudden having new memories of Yuji as one of his brothers, just seemed a bit too random for me, I’m sure there’s an explanation but it seemed kinda dumb in the moment, maybe I’ll like it later but who knows lol, still a great fight overall tho.

I'm starting to realise Itadori is kinda weak. Even when his enemy was at disadvantage because he couldn't use his powers properly, he connected like 3 black flashes which didn't do that much damage. I thought this black flash thing would be way stronger. Also i thought he was really good at close combat. But he's losing against this guy at it for some reason.

Probably the best episode this arc but still has some glaring issues. The animation continues to be spectacular, when they actually fight, Mappa keeps grinding these animators into making diamonds in the fight scenes. The camera work was some of the best you'll see in a shonen anime fight, one of those scenes you'll see replied forever when people talk about this arc. Yuji vs Choso blew away expectations in how it looked and how the characters are portrayed. When they were actually fighting it was incredible to watch. However the issue with this episode is the rhythm of the fight. Tons of slow motion, replaying something from a different angle, and a nauseating amount of narrating! Holy hell that narration is the most boring shit. Stopping the fight over and over to explain how a technique works is a terrible way to dump that information. I mean come on we all wanted to see fight just keep going not this annoying old lady voice spouting about blood technique. The rotten cherry on top is how this fight ends, with Choso having false memories implanted in his head about him and his brothers with Yuji. Even by Jujutsu Kaisen standards that's just awfully ridiculous. It was weird when it happened to Todo back in season one and now it reaks of bs when it happens right as Yuji is about to die.

just another day of mappa far surpassing the jjk manga. this was fucking crazy, the directing was great, animation was insane. loved the lighting, man the colors looked so good. changed the aspect ratio and got that retro look for his memories at the end as well. choso looked like he got armament haki lmao. yuji's voice actor did a solid job, best episode since the gojo arc for sure. the only thing boring me was the narration but we'll let it slide because yuji vs choso really got that cinema treatment.
