That’s a lot of emotions in one episode. RIP Junpei’s mum :(

I dunno what to feel for Junpei. I feel so bad for him at times. Ugh. Itadori & his budding bromance tho, they would have been good bros. Damn, this episode was over way too soon. So good!!!!







but i’ll probably remember over and over again

Damn, this ep was kinda hard to watch and I can't see getting it any better since if everything goes according to Mahito's plans, we're going to see Yuuji and Junpei clash next ep.

Now that we know though that Mahito orchestrated all this just to get Yuuji to make a pact with Sukuna where he comes out on top, I guess we can say that at least not everything will go according to his plans since the two of them already have made a pact together albeit Yuuji remembers none of that.

Damn, not even that banging ass ED could overcome the gloom I was feeling after that episode. Junpei's mom is nice... and she's dead. I thought they were going to put the blame on Itadori, at least they didn't.

Nanami is awesome, that overtime mode in the beginning was great. Mahito is just a child curse damn, he'll still grow way stronger. Looking forward to the next episode.

LOL, that guy is literally a torturer, even if he is "the wrong person" (LOL) he is one of the mfs who fucked with junpei's life and consequently made his mother die. He deserves to die just like the other pieces of shit who tortured junpei.

I hope they toned down the flashbacks. It's like they're really lacking in developing the present scenes, sometimes they even reuse scenes from the same episode when it isnt necessary.

It's a pact. If you do something under a condition it gives a power up in certain ways. It's like the chain jail from Kurapika in Hunter x Hunter. Pacts just arent explained in detail yet but their existence were mentioned numerous times so far.

He literally used his last amount of energy for that final attack while being seriously injured. Also his opponent is basicly immortal so escape was his best option. Do u even read the subtitles? It's a genuine question.

Alpha_Druid said:

That was in previous episode. He is basicly a child and chatty so it isn't really wallbreaking that he talks much? Also explaining power things have been normalized in any shounen for a long time.

We've spent alot of time in the last 3 episodes with Junpei. All for fleshing him out. That's more enough for me and i assume most think the same way. You are special i guess.
Also greentexting outside of 4chan makes u a bit cringe. Just saying.

the artistic section is getting worse and worse it's as if they really didn't work in the slightest.


And what happened towards the end of the episode. Did they forget that the Junpei blows had to convey anger and rage the only thing I felt when seeing those blows was sleepy. they even omitted the detail of how the eye of the bully got infected.


the worst thing is that they had the time to make an unnecessary shot at Mahito's feet and a close shot yeah Dude because that's what people want to see

- The "explaining your techniques gives you an upper hand" has already been told by Nanami. Even Mahito understood that. Episode 9.
- Nanamin decided not to use his techniques on Mahito because the latter's Idle Transfiguration is a bad match up for them + he's tired and injured and just one-two more touches from Mahito would kill him. Episode 10.
- Mahito's "immortal" because he himself said it's not healing - he strongly maintains the shape of his own soul. And yeah, bad match up. Episode 10.

My friend. Please do rewatch some episodes in your free time.

Regarding other points - I don't even wanna say anything. You seem picky as hell. Do you press play with grudge? Do you ever notice anything good about this anime? Your life okay? U good?

I'm picky only because the exposition broke the immersion. Normally, I overlook such trivial stuff because other things are good enough.

I don't see no reason to believe that how explaining powers to the opponent makes you stronger? When was it previously established that one can do that? He made a pact with whom? Apparently, now anyone can have any power that is needed for the plot. Much like the shit pulled in HxH. Sorry, I side tracked a bit, but it seems a new problem has been uncovered due to that.

What reason does Nanami has to believe what his opponent says, like when Mahito says he's immortal? So Nanami was tired but still gave it all for a non fatal blow? Why would he do that?
Almost as if the author doesn't want to kill Mahito yet. Basically, blatant plot armor.

You don't address my other points because you don't have an answer to them. So you resort to ad hominem.

I-
Friend, what do I even do with you
Explaining your power to the enemy in JJK increases its effectiveness because it’s basically a contract. By giving up information on how your power works you lose that element of surprise and give the enemy knowledge so in return you gain an increase in effectiveness. If it misleads - even better. This was explained in episode 9 (rewatch it, really), and there will be more details told by other characters.

Nanamin doesn't even need to believe Mahito's explanation when he already saw 7/3 doesn't affect the curse. Mahito deadass waved his broken arm like a flag and reformed it with ease. Nanamin furthermore being unable to harm Mahito properly just proves his fear (bad match up).
Even with Overtime (another contract now based on time), if wounded Nanami comes close to Mahito, one touch could kill him so he opted to destroy the wall with increased cursed energy, distract Mahito and give the curse a "goodbye for now" blow. What's there not to understand?

I read the manga but I've really been enjoying the anime.
Aside from the animation the soundtrack's really good.
The way the music can go from rap to dark souls music like the one that played at the end of the episode is really impressive.
Can't wait to see how they'll adapt the laughing scene.

Okay. Finally i had a time to watch this latest episode. Then i must be honest that its actually Getou arranged all of those thing, which cause me a bit of surprised. Well, it should be happening, since i know that Mahito was Getou friend. So, yeah, that mother death was really unavoidable scenario. Rip. Evil sorcerer Getou took the lead again at this episode, after knowing that he was actually the one behind the juvenile center incident too. Damn!

To be my surprise, Nanami was also survive from that Mahito's child play. Well, actually its both of his luck and effort to make that happened, at the end he decided to retreated. The explanations of his technique was also nice too. Its actually the ratio technique, the name of his technique. Thats kinda cool, knewing all of those line imaginery was actually not just the background display and to put up his imagination to pinned the critical/weak point. Its really his technique that could even blow up the target by imbues his cursed energy, and span the line toward even to non living object. Well, after that, the visualization still cool and he succeeded to retreated. However, its just a temporary, he decided to still play with Mahito. And i must say, its not a good decision....

Well, Junpei and Itadori situation was not so good there. Junpei looked so angry and released his cursed technique, or even, was that cursed spirit (?) to the wrong one. They both actually get manipulated, and Junpei became Getou's puppet. So, well, to make this short, lets see what happened nexr inside those looks alike Mahito's domain expansion (or not?). Its must be entertaining much that make me decide to post-poned watching this.

Well, highlight of the episode is that Junpei´s mom is hot as hell, or well, was. Besides that it was more than obvious that he was going to be emotionally manipulated. Not its Yuuji time to "save" him and he will be added to the Sorcery School. It doesn´t take a genius to see any of that.

What I truly wonder is what the fuck Getou wants or what his goal is, since he and Gojou are familiar with each other (kinda obvious by this point) and I don´t find Mahito appealing at all.

Kinda weird that while all of this is happening, Nobara and the others are just messing around in the "training" they are doing.

Finally, the Nanami fight was weird, like I can see the good animation but the choreography didn´t make sense at all, and it was kinda hard to understand what he really did until the end. Also, why not killing that thing if he was that desperate to exorcise it? I understand it was more of a scouting mission, but still what was the point of cutting a leg. Put a goddamn mark on his head or something. What a ripoff of the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception. This show really takes a lot from others without too much discretion.

Yuuji is such a cold kid! I was really enjoying his scenes with Junpei, but that poor kid...he was baited, and now, damn... I just hope he will find out the truth about who actually killed his mom and who is at fault.

Omg Junpei hates the fact that his mom smokes because he was traumatized by those school bullies, I'm a manga reader but I never made that connection, I thought he was just worried about her health or smth but she says that he asked not to smoke in front of him

He didn't do anything to "consequently" made Junpei's mom die. Her death was caused by the curses. That bully/torturer have no idea what curses even are how is he supposed to cause her death?

You just have to watch it again.

Sorry, but this is the stupidest opinion I've ever seen. You are harshly criticizing something you basically don't understand.

just a suggestion, if you want to criticize an anime to make it look "elite" do it right, don't be stupid like this.

Amazing episode. My favorite part of the episode was definitely the character dynamic between Itadori and Junpei.(it's unfortunate how it looks like they won't be friendly with each other anymore with the way the episode ended.) They feel very natural talking to each other and it's great to watch.

Itadori's conversation about killing and how if he kills the value of life of in general and the way he perceives the idea of it really added lots of character to him. It's also clear that he's growing as a character through his conversation with Nanami. Can't wait for next week. I loved this episode
I really hope that Yuuji talks some sense into Yoshino and makes him realise who the real bad guy is but I haven't seen the manga so I got no clue whats gonna happen next

Although there was a certain inconsistency between what was seen and what was perceived during the narration, the comedy was enjoyable, almost sorry for the death of the mother of the character of Junpei, as well as for the brevity of the fight which, however, leaves a good impression on the level of emotional impact. Perhaps the script in the final part is a bit obvious, but the most interesting thing is the relationship between the character of Mahito and Geto, the latter does not seem to tell it right. The villains' plan of action seems to be a bit weak, because they take for granted perhaps a little too much. The Itadori and Ijichi duo are hilarious, although not so much when Itadori's character is with Gojo. Ah! I hope that Nobara and the other characters will soon return to the limelight, however I miss them, despite the direction made interesting the episode. The dialogic comedy of the usual sketch at the end of the episode was very funny.

Awww no Juju Stroll this week. Bummer.

I wonder why Junpei doesn’t even question a weird looking dude with stitches all over not even once lol but welp, what happened happened and now it seems like we’ll be focusing on the other students too next week.

RIP Junpei’s mum. The latest victim of the latest shounen plot...


Because at that point of time, those bullies are more evil than the evil stitches guy who helped Junpei destroy those bullies. The current Junpei have regard everyone is evil other than his mother, and that's why every life is equal, even its a evil sorcereer.

the artistic section is getting worse and worse it's as if they really didn't work in the slightest.


And what happened towards the end of the episode. Did they forget that the Junpei blows had to convey anger and rage the only thing I felt when seeing those blows was sleepy. they even omitted the detail of how the eye of the bully got infected.


the worst thing is that they had the time to make an unnecessary shot at Mahito's feet and a close shot yeah Dude because that's what people want to see




Yeah it is clear that they focused more on the fights than moments like this. It's a shame since the Manga does such a good job at conveying everything perfectly when all the anime can do is cool fight scenes.

What a shame, his mother was so much more interesting and fun than Junpei himself :/
I'm glad he was fleshed out a little at least, but they kinda ruined it by killing his mother like three seconds later and turning him into an even more edgy and tragic character (who's only being bullied/losing his mom for the sake of it) immediatly after.
I hope his evil phase doesn't last too long ^^'

I really liked Itadori this episode tho (his interactions with Junpei were really nice)! :)
He's growing on me.
There's no possible way you can steal my heart

I want to drown in this sweet Melancholy

Are they building up a romance subplot between Yuuji and Junpei?

It would be pretty cool to see them go in that direction, that's never really been done in Shonen before

Didn't read the manga but it felt rushed as hell.

The antagonists have zero charisma, can't get excited about anything they are planning.


This is exactly what i thought at first when i read the manga a year ago. The antagonists seem lacking and instead of giving the antagonist vibes, they felt like normal goons.

But rest assure.. there is an appeal to the villains and why some people praise them. (Imo i also think they are really that good now) *change of heart haha 😅

Another trashy episode.
>Nanami explaining his powers to the enemy for no reason other than exposition for the viewers.
>Nanami not killing his opponent after having the upper hand.
>Mahito explaining his power to the Getou guy. Same shit as Nanami.
>Cheesy and cringey moments between Yuji, Junpei and the mother.
>The mother being nothing more than being a plot device to further Junpei's descent into darkness.
>Cringey philosophy and psuedo-intellectual bullshit about not killing by Yuji-sama.
>Events happening one after another with no coherence among them.
>The story elements not given enough time/ not fleshed out enough for the viewer to care.
>Kind of a personal opinion but the fight choreography is complete shit this episode as well. Not a single fight after the Sukuna vs Curse womb has came close it. Be it choreography, the impact of the blows, camera work, etc.


Totally agree with what you wrote, specially that last opinion. I mean it's right on everyone's faces, I guess fans can get pretty blind to issues like that sometimes.

Is it just me or this anime has a HUGE bnha influence?
Not saying that's bad, I'm really in love with this anime, but Mahito gave me some Shigaraki vibes in this episode, and Gojo really reminds me All Might, but sorcerer xD
Anyway this episode was really cool, and i really like the friendship between Yuji and Yoshino.

Omg Junpei hates the fact that his mom smokes because he was traumatized by those school bullies, I'm a manga reader but I never made that connection, I thought he was just worried about her health or smth but she says that he asked not to smoke in front of him


Oh damn I never made the connection but now that u say that... it makes sense why she said "I promised i won't smoke infront of you".

Damn R.I.P Junpei's mom, it would make sense that Junpei would want to get revenge on the one who planted that Sakuna finger on his mom.

First.. i want to ask you.. is this a troll? Nanami explained his ability is because of the cursed technique pact "revealing hand". Explaining a curse technique makes the curse user more powerful. Its been explained beforehand with the gojo vs jogo fight. You clearly didnt even paid attention so all your arguments fell down quickly 😕.
