| i pray this show doesn't forget it's female characters like most shounen it's rare seeing them get some proper love ,animation once again was top notch some parts looked a bit off though enjoyed all the fights even if we really haven't been around these characters like outside of a episode or 2 it still managed to form some kind of weight to their story (this arc really seems like lets give everyone their backstory lol) catching the bullet gets a bit of eyebrow raised from me but again can't really talk about realism in a shounen about fighting cursed demons |

ttcchen said: im not saying one wrong corrects another wrong.there is nothing wrong with having usless charcters!if only women were usless that would be sexists and"portraying women bad" but when they have usless men and women there is nothing wrong with it.and yet agian whats wrong with a normal fanservice? Tit juggling? They also have naked man showing abs. im sure thats called fanservice too!right?vipergod said: lmao having a female character with big tits isn't fan service. Having her, for example, run as her tits juggles is fanservice. Know the difference. And we're talking about females here, so don't bring men in. And what if they have useless men too? That doesn't make it ok to have useless females. One wrong doesn't correct another wrong.really? Yes some of them have usless women but at the same time they have usless men too!!! And about fanservice, whats wrong with it? Is anything wrong with a strong independent cool female also having huge boobs? As if men in animes are not hot as hell! As it name suggests shounens main target is teenage boys and guess what they like hot women! My point is even if they sexualise women they sexualise men too and if they have usless women they have usless men too. So they are not portraying just a specific gender bad.at very least it is equality!but ppl always trying to imply its a women-only problem. |

| Okay Nobara and Mai down. But what happened with Miwa?? Did Maki just ran away after stealing her sword? |
MoonDragon72 said: Spiny_Slasher said: Nobody is gonna get pissed at this cause its girl power done right, the girls feel like real characters with real problems. Unlike that cringe as fuck girl power scene from Endgame or any other Mary Sue protagonist who's op as fuck cause 'girl power'! What girl power scene? There wasn't one. Just because Captain Marvel did something that doesn't mean it's "shoving feminism down your throat". The very poorly done scene where literally every female character dropped what they were doing to pose together. |
MoonDragon72 said: Red_Ranger_Wien said: The very poorly done scene where literally every female character dropped what they were doing to pose together. The male Avengers did the same fucking thing and no one is criticizing that, but when female superheroes do it they're "pandering to SJWs". Superheroes pose together in movies all the goddamn time, their gender doesn't matter. I do not recall a moment where the action ground to a halt so literally every male character could stop what they were doing and pose together. Also there is a difference between, "The team posing to get a money shot" and fake wokeness. |
Alpha_Druid said: This episodes had the same problems like the previous episodes. The dialogue was shit once again. Why do almost every girl has to have a potty mouth? Yikes. Exposition for stupid stuff like the range of Miwa's slash or the amount of cursed energy required to form a bullet for example. Show, dont tell. That flying girl and Nobara's fight didn't have. That flying girl seems like she was fighting on behalf of Mai and not for herself. Immediately lost interest. She also spouted some bs dialogue and Nobara reciprocated in the same bs way. Their characters aren't strong/developed enough to carry the weight of their words. The shoving of Maki and Mai backstory really felt out of place. It wasn't built up at all. It should've gotten a separate arc or something. The animation unlike previous episode was very good. The actions had impact on the opponent and the surrounding environments. The animation was fluid and consistent. Moreover, the quality was maintained throughout all the fights. 3/5 "show don't tell" Then you should stay far away from shows like HxH. JJK's explanation doesn't even take 1/3 of it. Also this show is a battle shounen which sets a huge emphasis on its power system and after watching 17 episodes you should already realize it,but i guess you don't. "Exposition for stupid stuff like the amount of cursed energy required to form a bullet for examp" Yea explaining characters main abilities who also have appearances later in the show is totally stupid. Not to mention it gives us a deeper insight in its power system to which JJK builds on upon literally every episode. All told, it's on you and not JJK's fault for being a true battle shounen. Also I highly disagree regarding the dialogue being shit but this is a very subjective matter so i won't dive into that. |
Zettaheisinium said: be4 said: This ep was all about female power ^^ Mai did suffer a lot that Maki left the clan but still, Maki had and still has so much potential, GO MAKI!!! MAKI has superior physical prowess that the clan refused to recognize? Is that true? I thought it was hard work, practice and resolve that made her such fierce, fearsome warrior. Go MAKI! It's more that she lacked cursed energy, and couldn't see curses as you can see in a fragment in the first OP. |

Oh, I see. You're just spewing bullshit cause I have an opinion you don't like. Grow up. |
| I was expecting a bit more out of the episode, the fights were alright but I guess those life and death fights are more appealing. |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |

| Greatest episode since the premiere OMG that was amazing |

Moreover, the quality was maintained throughout all the fights. 3/5 Bruh how is "fuck sexism" and "bad shit happening to you doesn't excuse being an asshole to others" too complicated for any character let alone Nobara. It's literally included in her backstory. Her entire character is about "staying true to herself." She literally says that when she's introduced. Also is sexism bullshit or too complicated for the characters? It can't be both lol. Heck, Nobara's the only girl(out of over 7) who swears a lot. No idea where you got "almost all" of them have "potty mouths". Plus you want Maki and Mai family drama to happen on a later arc when they're fighting for their lives against monsters? Not during the non-lethal tournament arc between 2 schools every year?(remember they go to different schools so they're usually seperated) |

| animation was crazy, only the girls fighting (including best girl whooping ass) and it was maybe the best episode yet and the backstory was kinda sad too. this keeps getting better and better |

But Mai was like "MAKI has an ability that I don't have....the clan leader refused to recognize it etc". |
| As expected, the waifu battle episode ended up being really good lol, and in more ways than one. Poor Miwa didn’t get to do much but at least her fight with Maki had the best animation in the episode. |
| I think this is my favorite episode so far. Out of the very epic fight scenes, I found the story between the two sister to very touching. |

| The art and animation is some of the best I've seen in anime in general. Hats off to the people that worked on this. As far as characterizing goes, other than the main crew of Itadori, Fushigirou (idk if that's the proper spelling), Nobara, and sometimes Gojou, it almost always is average which makes dialogues between some of the poorly developed (so far) characters boring and thus super unengaging. This animation of this episode could have been complimented much better if the characters involved were fleshed out a little more. ...and yes these past 17 episodes have provided more than enough time to do so. Anyway, the art/animation carried the episode, 9/10 at best, 6/10 at the worst moments. |

| Maki probably the strongest person among the fourth-grade sorcerer. She defeated Mai so easily because of her quick thinking and reflect. I wonder what happens to Miwa. Did she retire or not because, at the end of the episode, only Mai and Nobohara retired. |
| Not much to say, Amazing Episode... So many Sakuga.... The fight was Incredible.... |
 |
| Probably my favourite episode of the series so far. It was so good, I love all the Zenin clan stuff with Maki & Mai. This episode was jam-packed with amazing content! |
#FreePalestine 🇵🇸 |
| The animation of this episode was so amazing. Give Miwa her sword back, please. Nobara was doing good until Mai shot her. That Miwa and Mai fight was great it was also emotional made me teared up. Anyway, this episode just screams girl power. Not to mention Mei Mei is animated and her voice suits her so well she's choosing anything for money. |

| Wow she grab a bullet...just... just like RADITZ! |

But Mai was like "MAKI has an ability that I don't have....the clan leader refused to recognize it etc". Mai mentioned that Maki has a heavenly restriction, a tradeoff at birth. So despite not having any cursed techniques and not being able to see curses without her glasses, she has superhuman physicality. Physically stronger and also faster than normal humans. Of course she trained and studied hard too and she's pretty smart so she can make good use of her skills in battles. |

| For some reason I lost my hype for this show can't seem to focus during the fights and could careless even if they died in that fight. |
vipergod said: when so many shows have more useless female characters, especially the main ones, than males, that's when it's praiseworthy for a show to not have any. What you said is like saying just because that book has both female and male rapists that's equality and therefore makes it okay and shouldn't be criticized since there are many other male and female characters who are not rapists (aka useless). See how wrong this sounds? And I'm pretty sure the only men with abs in JJK is Toudou and Sukuna, and trust me a half naked Toudou is not fanservice to the girls. Sukuna ripping off his shirt may be, but most of male fanservice from JJK comes from Gojo's eyes. Whats wrong with normal fanservice? Go look at the score and reviews for Fire Force and come ask me that again. See what poorly done fanservice does to good shows? See why it's so important for a show to be able to stand on its feet without half naked men and women flaunting their bodies on screen simply because teenage boys like hot women? If you think adding tons of fanservice in a show would immediately grab the teenage boys' attention and increase sales as if they're horny dogs who would eye-rape any sexy woman on screen then boy oh boy you need to grow up a little. That's what hentai is for.ttcchen said: im not saying one wrong corrects another wrong.there is nothing wrong with having usless charcters!if only women were usless that would be sexists and"portraying women bad" but when they have usless men and women there is nothing wrong with it.and yet agian whats wrong with a normal fanservice?

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Relate to Kugisaki Nobara. I can be myself when I'm cute. I can be myself when I'm strong. I love her spirit so much, so much confidence! Maki as well!~ they are my favorite girls in the show, although this girl power ep is on another level of badassery. This ep made my day today. |

| maki’s a queen i liked getting to see the twins’ childhood where’s the cursed speech guy (i forgot his name) wasn’t he supposed to be hunting the cursed spirits? nobara was pretty badass too |

Zettaheisinium said: Oh Hahahaha. Yeah so true. Nobara has her own way of doing things XD. This is a very under talked scene haha. The fight scenes and backstory and Maki's brilliance overshowed this! Idk how anyone could not be talking about that scene, it was pure joy xD Nobara indeed has her own style ahaha Jujutsu is killing it with such amazing characters! |
"There is no such thing as an Anime elitist. You watch Anime, therefore, you are trash by society's standards." |
| Hands down the BEST episode of Jujutsu Kaisen's second half so far. When you think that the Panda Vs Mechamaru's fight was good enough, this episode pretty much drowned that and showcased not one but THREE brilliant fight scenes. But if you ask me Mai Zenin has to be (fuxk you I'm fighting for her) BEST GIRL of the show, because once again not only did we see her cool side but her lonely side as well. The reason why she hate Maki is because she forced herself to do what Maki is doing, she just doesn't want to be alone. And even though she lost the battle, the payoff was rather satisfying for these sisters. MAI ZENIN IS MAI BEST GIRL! Next week, we shift ourself.from the GIRLS to the BOIS. Also I can't help but notice that most of the scenes from the 2nd half's PV came from this episode, moments that I've been waiting for! |

| damn ,man what an episode I couldn’t stop repeated am now biggest supporter for maki |
