There are hanging around as usual, this is not serious at all, I prefer the Kyoto team actually, Toudou looks very determined and har working. I once kicked a door like he did because I lacked focus at work.
I hope they manage to kill Itadori Yuuji, I cant bear him, he's way too lazy. I remember being attacked also in highschool for dumb reasons, I had to go to the hospital and lost time to work for my test on the next day, it was a very bad day so this arc reminded me horrible memories; Not a good start
this is what a serious team looks like

We're back into the 2nd Cour: the comparatively long Kyoto Sister School Exchange arc.

Jougo is alive and well, and so are both Mahito and Hanami. Ready to strike soon at their next call.

Meanwhile, it's been awhile that Yuuji is reunited with the Jujutsu Tech gang. And here comes the Kyoto School students, and Gojou-sensei has to spring in a surprise with Yuuji. Funny that is, though unsurmising.

The Kyoto-Tokyo Sister school festival is on, albeit a true test of Jujutsu powers and testing one another. A game of wits this is one, but trying to identify each other's strengths, weaknesses, and eliminating key persons (e.g. Yuuji) for the Kyoto School is another matter.

Gojou dissing Utahime was sublime, and the event is on!

The 2nd cour's OST is very different, though not in a bad way. The visuals...MAPPA took one level higher to showcase something different, but unique indeed.

Back after three whole weeks, they sure made us wait a long time. Was eagerly waiting to see Yuuji's reunion with everyone and XD it was hilarious.

Finally the vs Kyoto school arc begins, this was arc was really great in the manga so hyped to see it animated.

Btw forgot to mention but the new opening sequence was beautiful but the song was kinda meh.

Gojou's and Itadori's surprise didn't work that well, maybe they should've gone with the casual approach after all xD

The episode was too short and the opening got me even more pumped for this arc with all the foreshadowing and teasing. Let's hope Mappa will go all out.

OP is fireee and the animation is so good!!!

Finally Yuuji is back with his gang, love Megumi & Nobara reactions, they clearly missed him a lot lol :D

Cant wait to see the fights between 2 schools, overall a good intro episode to the new arc.

New OP song >>> The previous OP song. I like the first opening song but this new one was so much better for me I have to admit. Visually the first opening was more consistent with its quality but second one isn't far off.

But the new ED as a whole >>>>>>> old ED. I'm in the minority but that old ED annoyed me so much, but I dig this one by Cö Shu Nie (although this is one of the weaker songs they've made imo in general).

Really nice op, visuals were good too. Satoru's gift, it's ITADORI YUUJI!! So "shake" guy actually has a reason he speaks like that, interesting ability/power.

Finally 2nd cour of Jujutsu Kaisen is there!

The new OP, oh man, the beats of the music is really chilling and satisfying to hear multiple of times, and so many going on with so smooth animations and sequences. Really like the 2v1 slow-combat animation especially. And the ending is a feeling-touchy music and got warming and bonding scenes in it. Greats.

The story itself, nothing much showed there, it looks like a build up to an arc, with the meeting like this, the main schools will face each other now, can't wait to see the great battle that's about to come.

Aaahhh Yuuji deserves the world. Really liked the sequence in the beginning when Nanami and Goujo talked. Nanami is such a caring character.
I didn‘t like this opening so much but the episode was awesome. Great build-up and funny comedy elements. I had to laugh out loud more than once. Missed this.
The Kyoto team seems interesting, more reserved tho. I am looking forward to the fights and interactions between all of them.
Also, the ending seemed sad and now I am worried. Losing Junpei was already too hard on me :(

And we're finally back, nice to have this series to look forward to again every Friday. It's about what I expected, basic but entertaining setup for the tournament along with whatever the curse group has planned next. Judging by the opening (which was visually stunning btw) I'm guessing they'll crash the tournament in order to steal all of Sukana's fingers. Either way this show continues to be a lot of fun so it should be cool seeing everyone show off their moves. One nitpick I did have though was how Itadori's reunion was handled. While it was funny, part of me wonders if it would've been better to go a more sentimental route since his death had an effect on Fushigoro and Nobara. I guess they weren't friends for that long so what we got was fine as they were clearly relieved to see him.

This is show is back.

Gojou comes up with some crazy ideas. That Itadori present was really funny. XD

So the Kyoto team wants to kill Itadori. I hope Itadori thrash them. And judging from the preview, things will get a lot more interesting.

Okay MAPPA has no rights to make Gojo this hot

and here i was thinking i couldn't simp even more than i already did

Is this a human brain? A talking human brain? Don't tell me this is a transfigured human :(

It's good to see Gojo letting the Principal headlock him to publicly disprove him of his behaviors instead of using his Infinity to avoid it and causing humiliating the Principal.

wonder why they decided to make Gojo shorter than Todo. In canon wikia they're around the same height

I was looking forward to the Panda climbing up and down the pole...

The Mahito bubbles scene is referring to the plaster work "Death Blowing Bubbles" from the 18th century

The new OP and ED both have great visuals (especially the OP has top-notch animation) but song-wise it's such a downgrade from the previous ones. I guess a 2-cour shounen anime's fate is always like that lol. The second cour always has worse songs lol.

I knew their reunion wouldn't be how Yuuji expected it to be. Gojou brought joy as always and it's always a pleasure to watch him, but he's also a pretty smart dude. Now, who's the traitor, I wonder...

I still think the antagonist team is the weakest point of this show, I still find them very bland and uninteresting, very much like Dr. Stone and Kimetsu no Yaiba.


Also, how can Toge be this cute and funny while all he does is speak using onigiri ingredients (mostly "salmon")?

The new OP and ED themes are so amazing and actually even better than the previous ones, despite my initial doubts prior to the debut.

Looks like this is an upcoming tourney arc. Yuuji's reunion turned out quite hilarious, indeed. It's cool to know how much a personality like Gojou-sensei means to him, too, considering the amount of shit he's been through already.

Cool episode, not too much happened but we got a lot of information about the sister school in Kyoto and the trainees there, I'm sure we'll get to learn more about all of these characters.

Not sure how I felt about Itadori's reunion with his friends but I don't mind it too much.

I should also note that the guy that keeps saying salmon is building up to be badass af.

Also damn that ending song was gorgeous fr I got chills. Can't say the same for the new intro unfortunately but we'll see, maybe it'll grow on me (there is pottential).

So JJK is back and the Kyoto Sister School event is about to get started. Gojou announced that the new member of the Tokyo team will be Itadori back from the dead. The reactions to Itadori's appearance was hilarious. His friends didn't seem to happy that he was still alive since he had to keep it a secret from them. Meanwhile, the Kyoto side is plotting to kill Itadori because he is Sukuna's vessel and make it look like an accident.

The new OP sounds awesome, while the ED is a little more heartfelt.

but as for the ep, school training camp with villains possibly planning on interrupting sounds a loooooot like MHA lmao.

But it's glad to see Itadori back with the gang though I did honestly like his solo spell more tbh

Glad they are back, needed my weekly dose of Gojou again. They honestly should have gone for the casual surprise for Yuuji being alive. Cause that just failed miserably!

I am looking forward to this exchange event, especially now that Yuuji is reunited, I want him to show the other what he has learned in the last two months working in the field.

I'm a big fan of both the new OP and the new ED. Having a battle between schools arc is sort of irritating, but at least they are adding some real stakes here, so it will be much more interesting than a straight up battle.

I'm going to miss the first opening and endings. They were amazing!

This arc is going to be intense. Kyoto team is set out to kill Itadori. This episode was the calm before the storm. Judging by the preview for next weeks episode Itadori will face off against Toudou and maybe others. I know what's gonna happen I just don't know the match ups. Anyways hyped for the next episode!

RIP Lost in Paradise, that was an epic ed. But the new one is more emotional and nostalgic, so it's great.

honestly tho, are there ANY shounen tournament arcs that're not crashed by the villains and is just straight up fights between good guys? i don't mind JJK doing this as long as it's represented well. It's not the cliches that's bad, it's the way they're delivered, as some wise person once said.
