Shibuya Incident is the best action arc ever

@DarkyBoy_ What’s wrong with JJK characters? Maki, Nanami, Gojo, Nobara, Mahito, Sukuna, Jogo, Todo, Panda, Mei Mei and so on. They all stand out, are fun and memorable. None of them need a character arc (although some of them have it). And set-up is strong. Gojo is overpowered, therefore villains planned to seal him since S1E6. Without him, the jujutsu society quickly loses control over the situation, so the chaos break out, which even villains are unable to control. In other stories, good guys would overcome all the hardships and things would return to status quo, but here it all became worse in the middle and the worst in the end.

There is a lot to care about, because it’s not just a spectacle noise, there is weight to almost every encounter. Out of 18 episodes, only 3 made me feel ‘meh’. Fights were important, because many of them were set-ups for future fights. The only battles I can say are extra are Locust and Smallpox Deity ones. Lastly, I don’t get all the glaze HI gets. It relies on “shock factor” as much as Shibuya, but it’s a prequel, so we can easily predict what’s gonna happen next. Geto’s backstory was good, but that’s only 1 episode out of 5.

If I were to compare Shibuya to something else, I would pick the last 2 episode of Invincible S3. They both try to do the same thing and hit the same emotional and hype notes. Here’s that.
