| Itdaori is in the lowest state he's ever been and this is exactly what Mahito wanted to take advantage of and he did take until the Big Brother, Todo appears to encourage Itadori to fight. Yuji's crying was so painful. Junya Enoki did an incredible job. Todo is such a cool character and a great partner to have alongside you. Bringing Yuji back to a sane state and fighting Mahito simultaneously. Miwa and Mechamru's scene was so painful to watch just like in the manga. Poor Miwa. Aside from that, Yuji and Todo vs Mahito was such an incredible fight to witness. The teamwork between them was amazing to watch. Their chemistry is so on pint with each other. The disfigured human train was so cool. The whole fight was so fucking amazing. Todo, my GOAT. Incredible episode. 120% Potential. |

| Reminiscing about good old times won’t bring back Nobara… that’s the harsh truth. But jesus, was it really necessary to remind us of the horrid state Nobara’s in… with that CLEAR-CUT FRONTAL VIEW at that????? Just added more to Itadori’s misery:( Mahito being an absolute scumbag adoring the very scenery was quite infuriating to see. I mean not only was he insulting Itadori, but almost punched the life out of him, until… Todo arrived in SLOW MOTION lol. Spectacular entry which not only balanced things out, but that speech quite literally pulled Itadori out of slumber, the utter depressing state he was in, while recalling how he couldn’t fulfil the promise to Nanami. Todo’s a real bro, that’s already a fact, but to see him again doing what he did, he made himself a universally likeable character. The duo of Itadori and Todo against Mahito was an absolute spectacle, right from the get-go. Really liked the way they adapted this whole part. Plenty might be going on in the background, but the animators are doing their absolute best. Wow choreography aside, liked how they didn’t forget about Mechamaru’s final farewell too. Quite hard on Miwa, but she’ll have to move on. By the way, Mahito’s responsible for his death too, so he has some long overdues. Black flashes are doing their thing, along with the brotherly teamwork. Though Mahito and his endless supply smh. |

| Todo has just arrived, geared up and ready to give it his all. As always of course. After enduring numerous challenges in Shibuya, Yuji's determination crumbles when it appears that Nobara has met her end. Seizing the moment, Mahito not only inflicts mental torment but also unleashes physical devastation. In the midst of despair, Yuji's closest friend arrives just in time to rekindle his spirit. Todo emphasizes to Yuji that their allies are never truly vanquished. The sole retribution a jujutsu sorcerer encounters is persisting in battle until they uncover the significance of what has been entrusted to them. That heartwarming moment turned cruel when her laughter suddenly shifted to a distressed expression. Yuji's voice actor's performance felt so real, it's as if he channeled personal loss. Todo, my favorite character, shone in this episode, balancing fun and mentorship for Itadori, and proving himself as a great fighter. The Black Flash moment was incredible, despite the dimming. Mechamaru's lingering presence through small machines accelerated the plot and provided a touching farewell with Miwa. Huge thanks to the resilient MAPPA employees for delivering this masterpiece despite their challenges. ALL THREE HAVE BROUGHT OUT 120 PRECENT OF THEIR POTENTIAL  |

| Yeah, this is the last time we’re ever gonna see our JJK main trio having fun. Ah yes Nobara spilled some coffee on Gojo’s shirt, it can take a while to clean it as the stains persist. Itadori vs Mahito continues after Nobara remains severely injured and at a stage of death (as of now). Itadori is just facing depression, depression, and depression over the span of like 15-30 minutes already, also gotta give an applause to Enoki Junya, his voice acting is just so good here. Todo, the man of culture, IS HERE. BROTHERS ALWAYS STICK TO ONE ANOTHER WHENEVER COMES TROUBLE! His ability is just what I find really engaging all throughout, him going against Mahito for a round was something for sure. They added extra anime original scene of how Yuji saw Nanami saying "You've got it from here" Moreover, very previously, I did find Nanami’s death much more emotional in the manga, but Miwa’s case in the anime got me good, after we get lil meaningful moments she experiences in Mechamaru’s episode Itadori and Todo’s teamwork in the battle against Mahito is animated amazingly, I love some touch they did with Todo’s end like it really gives more of that personality ifykyk. The fight extends next episode. |
| "We are the exception" Best bro Todo is here which signals the climax of the Shibuya Incident Arc. The energy he adds is awesome. Soundtrack and direction were going hard. It had something My Hero Academia-esque. |

| I think the thing I hate the most about Jujutsu Kaisen is how it so often tries to claim emotional punches it never earned... like, not even close. Yuta and Rika? I almost puked when he said it's "pure love" 😆 Jumpei? Good riddance, I never bought Itadori being affected by the incident This time it tries to show us the good times between Yuji, Megumi and Nobara, and I can't help thinking, isn't it a bit late? If you want the moment to have true emotional impact, you can't just last minute show a generic scene, they really should establish their bond, what their day to day looks like, etc etc. I think Naruto had the right idea in its first arc by focusing on its main trio. On the one hand I appreciate Jujutsu Kaisen for not sticking to the tried-and-true formula and changing it up, on the other the end result just isn't that good... At the very least, the way the show is directed, showing all the expressiveness of Yuuji's face at having just seen Nobara killed, does go a long way towards correcting the lack of build-up, these animators are fucking chefs. Nevertheless, what this show lacks in emotional payoff it absolutely makes up for by being the coolest fucking piece of animation, Mahito is a cool villain and Toudo is a fun character, so all in all this show does rock like nothing else right now. I've come to expect this Jujutsu Kaisen to deliver a good dose of badass pure coolness and it does that even though the production is in chaos, I think this season will go down as a classic for years to come. Edit: oh yeah, I was forgetting that Miwa and Mechamaru moment, the same that I wrote above applies there, even more-so, but the animators really at least tried to bring some life to the moment |

| Let's hope Nobara returns someday, because we don't know if she is really dead or not. Todo's entrance was majestic. All the new fight scenes were incredible. The transfigured human train scene was completely new! Nice addition. People were asking where were the black flashes. Now we got 3 different black flashes in 1 episode. Also poor miwa and mechamaru, could have been a couple. |
| Best JJK episode ever. Im astonished how good it was. |
| Nobara is not either alive or dead. Todo took off his jacket to show that he is kinda serious, but when he rips his shirt things are about to get serious. Me, paraphrasing Mechamaru. "Miwa, I didn't say nothing because I love you. But the others would just add to the body count." That Todo's Black Flash scene was fantastic. |
 |
| Just when Itadori is at his lowest, Todo arrives and helps pick him back up. Itadori's words to Nanami. Mechamaru and Miwa's conversation. Damn. What an emotional episode. |
| The cut to Nobara's face after the flashback was damn brutal. Mahito's VA's performance is godly. 4:34 祇園精舎 (gion shouja) - Jetavana (was one of the most famous of the Buddhist monasteries or viharas in India) There is a change in the opening! At the end of the OP (6:22 in this episode) a huge part of Shibuya that Sukuna destroyed is missing, and after that there is a landscape of destroyed buildings. Love it when openings change with events. Seeing Yuji in this state breaks me... He's been though so much in such a short time period (this whole arc is one night in the story right?) NOOO MIWA DON'T GO THERE PLEASE NOOOO I love how when fighting Mahito transforms himself and te people he captures into wildest and most random stuff. This whole episode was epic af. Todo especially, his last attack was glorious lmao. Loved what Todo said in the next episode preview there |

| @Perrin4869 Am thinking at this moment they just need an excuse to properly time another cliff-hanger and not show much of the action because that requires a lot of effort. |
| carry the wishes and will of the dead yuji todo is always awesome and nobara has a chance to survive miwa x mechamaru romance could have been a what if sad |
| Damm the scene with Miwa and mechamaru was so sad made me tear up a little. The 120% panel went crazy At the end. I’m incredibly hyped for next episode |

| Highlight of today's episode goes to Todo for getting Yuji back on his feet and go on for a fight once again against Mahito who has killed two of his friends so far. He hit rock bottom, but is still willing give his 120% to fight. Oh boy, Todo's "brother" power up scene was actually my favorite part of the episode. That shit felt like something All Might pulled in one of the movies. The animation was so goddamn fluid throughout the whole episode, sometimes it felt even TOO fluid for my eyes to adjust. The ending made us get how fucking "evil" Mahito is. Next episode is probably THAT episode. Show the animators some love on Twitter. They're pretty active on there. WHERE YOU GO I GO! |

| Another fan-fucking-tastic episode. My GOAT, Todo, showing up to pick up Yuji when he's at his lowest. I love seeing these 2 brothers fight together in that classic Jump Kaisen fashion. The timing and chemistry between them is unmatched. The animation was amazing yet again despite the production nightmares we've heard so much about, so shout out again to the staff who worked on this episode. Loved how they elevated the manga so well, which they've been doing for pretty much the whole season, especially the Black Flash sequences (particularly Todo's 🔥🔥🔥). I was worried about how this fight would turn out after hearing about what the animators have been going through but they're still delivering. Hopefully next episode is at least just as good as this one. MeanEYE said: Liked the episode, but they are really really dragging this on. Not to mention the most annoying of cliff-hangers. The pacing has actually been perfectly in line with the manga this season believe it or not. This arc was long in the manga so it makes sense that it's taking as many episodes as it has. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol. |
Miwa was beautiful in this episode. |
| Jjk has gotten dark. I thought it was a generic shounen but this season was mind blowing. With gojo sealed the safety net is gone. The scales are much higher. Truly dark. |
| There were some parts of the episode where you can see visually that the animation was incomplete before the episode came out. Still, that final scene with Todo was animated very well. By the end of the season, I hope they will begin to finish the complete animations and have them rolled out by the time the Blu-ray is available in stores. |
| TODO SAID THE THING!!! "We are the exception!" Poor Yuji, though. I'm glad Todo was there for him. I've always thought this, but Mahito is such a great villain. |
| Welcome back, besto friendo 🔥🔥🔥 |
| Itadori's VA did an amazing job for making me almost cry like a baby Mahito's VA did an amazing job for hating him even more. Amazing animation. Even tho that todo and train scene was weird asf (also todo and yuji running upstairs is weird as well) the fight has an amazing animation Thank you JJK TEAM  |

| @JIMMYxMONARCH I do agree with that Todo and Train scene, and Todo and Yuji running upstairs But the rest looks amazing I am assuming that you just don't like the ANIMATION STYLE |

They blueballed so hard no one going to quit now. |
| Glad Yuuji took a correct approach. It's not about just revenge, but Machito needs to be put down just because he causes too much death and destruction. |

Animation was not good. (I know they didn't get much time to animate) (Why did they even announce S2 if they knew that they won't be able to animate completely)
| @JIMMYxMONARCH Toho is the one who asks MAPPA to animate JJK, so announcing, posting trailers, etc is on TOHO's hands But I can say that it's not TOHO's fault that the animators didn't have much time. It's MAPPA'S CEO/MANAGER'S fault, because they're the one who accepts every anime adaptation from TOHO and didn't even reject any singe one without thinking abt their own animators's life |

| @JIMMYxMONARCH oh yea that scene it'san animstuon style, but I don't rlly like that style except if it was applied to mob psycho or flcl I am talking abt other scenes except this scene, train scene, and stairs scene all of em except those 3 are goated in my opinion As an animator myself, I appreciate their work and they at least made the whole eps (except those 3 scenes ofc) didn't looked like 4ds season 3 heck, even those 3 scenes still look good compared to 7ds s3 |
