| wowie this episode was over way too quickly! that was crazy entertaining. mannequins in a dark, quiet room are always an unsettling imagery. seto asami can do no wrong, i like kugisaki already, she fits right in! i love the jujutsu voodoo stuff she did, that was so cool. the humour is alright, pretty great initially even, but i sure hope it's not going to be like that every episode from here on, i mean the constant tone shifts will ruin it, it had such an ominous vibe going on but this episode was all over the place tone-wise & constantly thrown off with all the comedic reactions, i dunno seemed pretty out of place for me, if only they could pull it back a little, juuuust a little. |
 ꕤ but i’ll probably remember over and over again you were there and everyone else was there — the day we all searched for just one thing ꕤ |
| Nobara is a good character but her backstory felt a bit weak, still a decent ep. |
| This episode was fantastic and it had no flaw, Finally Nobara's debut and she was awesome Overall 9 out of 10 |
 |
| its okay so far :-0 |
| so what exactly is a signature? |
 whoa, so she uses nails and straw dolls...so I guess she a witch. |
| I wasn't sure before, but now I can confim the show definitely has a slower pace than normal. And if I have to guess why, they're taking inspiration from Kimetsu no Yaiba. And just as KnY, the jokes aren't as entertainment as they could be. So far, the show only made me smile in a few scenes, and it's making me frustated because some of the jokes are actually funny, but not as fast as it should be. Also, even some animation effects are similar to KnY. Hopefully, diferent from it's inspiration, this show can at least have a interesting story. |

HulkAgiota said: Of course this anime have a woman with shitty personality who likes to punch the mc for no reason. This is so funny 🤡. Oh and of course she's not a bad person, she just had difficulties in the past, and thats why she's so annoying, so sad 😢 this is the first and last time she'll act like a bitch to Yuji. We saw at the end of this episode that they became friends so she never treated him that horribly ever again. thiago52192 said: I wasn't sure before, but now I can confim the show definitely has a slower pace than normal.

Also, even some animation effects are similar to KnY. Hopefully, diferent from it's inspiration, this show can at least have a interesting story. actually, JJK has a faster pace than most shounen out there. In the manga there's pretty much no resting time or slice of life moment after this episode (the "initial test" for Nobara). It's continuous fighting, killing, and slaughtering nonstop. Swagarot said: Nobara is a good character but her backstory felt a bit weak, still a decent ep. like yuji said (can't remember the exact quote): "I guess having a heavier reason doesn't necessarily make you more admirable." shounen series are filled with characters with lofty and grand backstories and reasons why they fight. But people in real life are sometimes motivated/inspired by small reasons. That's why I think Nobara's backstory is perfect and makes her more like a real person than just a fictional character. She doesn't have a grand reason for becoming a jujutsu sorcerer. She simply wants to leave the country-side and become a city girl, and I think that's a good enough reason. Bastiono said: thebrentinator24 said: Look I know Naruto comparisons are old and overplayed but I can't help but think of Team 7 when I see this squad of first years plus Gojo lol. Although I would say that the only ones who are even remotely similar to their Team 7 equivalent would be Fushiguro (stoic and serious like Sasuke) and Gojo (lighthearted and relaxed/chill but is actually, I'm assuming, a badass like Kakashi). Not team 7, team 11? Neji, Lee and Tenten nah, team 11 is more like the second years jujutsu sorcerers. in fact, lee, tenten, and neji can pretty much be summarized in one person---Maki. And @thebrentinator24 i feel like I've seen this comment before and I'm pretty sure I replied to it somewhere (on youtube i think?)... anyway, you'll soon find out that Fushiguro is nothing like Sasuke. He's definitely not stoic. He's just used to curses and knew Gojo longer than the other two had, so he's not easily surprised by his antics. Also, all three of them are the "serious" type. None would take things lightly and joke around when they're supposed to be serious. They're all mature teens who are not self-centered like the team 7 pre-teen brats (i mean they're 12 what do you expect?). Also, I'm sure you already know but Gojo is wayyy worse than Kakashi lol, both on the light-hearted and joking aspect, and the power level. He's like Kakashi on crack (?). |

| Continuing to build but nothing spectacular apart from the animation so far. And.. did they send the kid back home as if nothing happened or did they wipe his memory MIB style? Same with the MC's friends. Feels like keeping the curse/exorcism secret isn't really talked about at all. |
 |
| “...and one of the first years died” *proceeds to play the grooviest ED known to man* |

spectrojan said: nah I agree but it’s not unbearable like other characters I’ve seenHmm looks like I'm the only one who thought Nobara was kinda annoying |
| |
| Nobara is so cute and crazy too ... I was hoping for something like this. |
| I really like the interaction between Nohara and Yuji. I find them both hilarious. Even though Nohara tries her best to be cool but, she cannot hide her true feeling toward Tokyo. I find it weird because every time the new ep comes out, I always want to watch the ed song first. This ep ended it a surprising cliff hanger. |
| Nobara is cool I like her power. Yuuji and Nobara kinda work as a team in a way. |
 |
| So the introduction is over and now we can get the main course! Also that ED, THAT ED SOOO GOOOOOOOOOOD! |
 |
Bastiono said: well, I'm not going to explain to you the details as to why I think that way, cause that'd be spoiling lol, but let's just say there's a lot more you don't know about the characters yet. Eventually, you'll see how our main trio is not like team 7 or team 11. they're their own squad (and Fushiguro is noooothing like Sasuke or Neji. Like, totally unalike. Same with Yuji and Nobara.) Pretty sure we'll be introduced to the second years in like...episode 6-ish, that's when you'll see their dynamics and who they are, and you should then be able to understand why I said Maki is pretty much team 11 all in 1 (she has aspects of Neji, Lee, AND tenten).As an anime-only, we haven't met the second year yet, but I think it's a lot better than team 7. Neji - not playing around, exasperated with 'Lee's playful attitude Lee - playful and hand-to-hand combat expert (we saw how he fought without magic Tenten - we've only seen one episode for Nobara yet |
| New character intro episode. The story is generic as usual with monster of the week format. The FeMC is from countryside that liked the city. With backstory and nice ability to exorcise curses. The animation is bad this episode. Overall its an okay episode. |
 |
| Where were all the snooty critics back when stuff like Rise of the Shit Hero or Darling in the Franxx were airing? Then something like this comes out and it's "decent episode, okay episode, pacing too slow, not that funny." I don't get it. |
| From looking from the characters, story and plot of this anime This will be easily better than most shounen animes lol From ep 1 this was hype af and adding Nobara this became more hype what more if more characters will get introduce. I like it after Nobara got arrived sensei gave her a mission immediately with Itadori lol. I like her personality a lot its all over the place and she have great synergy with Itadori in a good and bad way. Can't wait for next episode! |
| B O C C H I S W E E P |
| lol that preview. I expect no one to die anyway. The new girl... she's OK, but given the genre's history, I wouldn't be surprised if she ended up just being background noise in the end. |
 |
| Nailed it. :DDDDDDD |
| "The future is always blank. Only your willpower can leave footsteps there." "Ruling over death means ruling over life. Death is the climax of life. To have the best death, you must honor life." |
| Really love the seriousness and comedy of this anime XD I wouldn't be shocked if Itadori broke that wall with bare hands even when Sukuna wasn't inside him... Nobara made this group more loud and hyped, she's even louder than Itadori XD |
| the new girl is crazy cool! Nobara Kugisaki is like iron maiden more like steel maiden! Hope to see more powerful curses and i wanna really see how strong is Gojou-sensei! 5/5. |
 |
| Quite a cliffhanger at the end, I wonder if it's one of out trio or someone else. Killing character this soon wouldn't be a great decision just when we got introduced to them, there are definitely jebaiting us here |
| I see a new cute girl has join, and the animation and art there was very amusing I really love on what Studio MAPPA did here. And that was a great teamwork there well at least when it's finished lol. |
 |
| Steel Beam Girl Nobara Kugisaki has arrived as the 3rd 1st-year Jujutsu sorcerer, and she's a gorilla woman, and a fantastic Shonen female character at that. Her backstory is painful, but relatable. But she's a real cutie coolie pie if given the time. As if MAPPA could have easily pulled this off with their stunning animation, this episode just proves so much that Jujutsu Kaisen is worthy of not just being the next big hit of WSJ, but aiming for the top for perfect reason. Within the 3-man Jujutsu group, 1 will be dead...what a way to do cliffhangers. Who will be dead by the next episode or 2? Greatly enjoyed this episode, and already definite of a 10/10 Shounen that ticks all the right boxes and gets everything right from the get-go. |

KelvinDropZ said: Killing character this soon wouldn't be a great decision just when we got introduced to them, there are definitely jebaiting us here I partly agree and partly disagree. Would be refreshing in a way to see a show killing one of the main characters early with some underlying purpose of the death for the continuation of the story. But, honestly, I doubt the show will go into this direction. Doesn't seem to be that type of anime. Either way, I really enjoy it so far. This episode was especially nice because it offered us a glimpse of the new girl Nobara's past. I wish we could learn more about the other two soon. I mean, we don't really know anything about Fushiguro. And for Yuuji I guess we'll have a big reveal later in the series about his parents, just as hinted in the first episode by his grandpa. I haven't read a single panel of the manga though so I could be completely wrong about this. Well, more reason to look forward to the next episode :D |
 |
| Cool episode overall. Not gonna lie, at first I thought I wouldn't like Nobara's character that much due to her arrogance but knowing that she also has a goofier side may give a nice balance to her personality in the end. So yeah, really liking this new trio of shounen protagonists so far. |

| I lol'd when Itadori missed his punch and was so calm about it. hahaha |
| Nice intro episode for Nobara, I'm already loving her! I'm going to enjoy the interactions of these four main characters. And I really love the fact that Gojou pointed out that something's missing in Itadori's head. Indeed, no one in their right mind could fight curses at the first time they've seen one XD All of the cast are crazy. Looking forward to even more crazy stuff in the next episodes! Who's gonna die tho... |

Xnovazero said: Setting reminds me of Tokyo Ravens so much. Even characters. But not rip-off. Full of uniqueness. As someone who loved Tokyo Ravens, I agree :) This episode made me appreciate the characters way more & I really like Nobara! The curses still look great, love the design! And the animation is still amazing - gonna keep watching for sure! The only thing I disagree with would be the "uniqueness". The show is pretty generic so far, but that's okay. |
