| It was good, but personally I’m not a fan of the experimental animation scenes. I much prefer the clear and crisp choreography of Itadori vs Choso over the shaky lines that bend like wet noodles or just go over-the-top stylistically. The fight was fine otherwise. Also Itadori reacting felt a bit weak, and while I think the upbeat villain theme is juxtaposing on purpose it still felt misplaced. Also the shading on his face looked so off it felt more comical than tragic. I think they should’ve kept the camera on him for longer to create tension and portray him messier and more disheveled to really drive it home, as now it was pretty much just nigh-instant post-puke clarity. Liked the shot of Nanami walking and paralleling Itadori in the end credits. Feels like a bit of a nod in the manner of ”this will be their role now / in the future”. I’m also willing to give slack as the animators are obviously overworked and disgruntled, and besides the quality is overall very high. |
| uh oh! |
| This should be the number 1 anime on this site anyone saying otherwise not a real anime watcher. |

| @phantom346 I'm waiting for the instant Spirit Body of Distorted Killing episode so nobody can call me a madman, let them cook. |
| Very good episode, i agree that some frame were questionable but the overall result is still solid and hit the mark for me. |
| This episode was incredible. This might be the best animation I have ever seen. |
 |
| My goodness, the animation of this fight surpasses the way it was depicted in the manga. It leaves me pondering what the reception for this season would have been like if the staff had been given the proper time to work on this arc considering the number and intensity of the fights. |
| It really is sad the production schedule this anime got… honestly don’t know how western people can do to help. That said, great episode, but I have to admit the scene when Yuji took back control in the manga, it broke me, the anime was not at the same level, I don’t know if we’re gonna get a longer scene next episode, with more of Yuji’s inner monologue. The pain he felt here is what made me want to protect him at all costs, he’s just a baby… |
| one of the best fight in jjk |
“Wake Up to Reality! Nothing ever goes as planned in this accursed world. The longer you live the more you will realize that the only things that truly exist in this reality are merely pain, suffering and futility. " My tickets:  |
| When this arc started I definitely wasn’t expecting Sakuna to be such a big part of it, since the beginning of the show he seemed like something that was way off and would always be in the background, but here we see him being a massive part of the arc, both in this episode and the last two. Most of this one was his fight with Mahoraga and it was a sight to behold, some parts were hard to follow much like the Jogo fight but it was once again amazing to watch overall, Sakuna really went hard to kill that guy I didn’t even know existed till now lol. And then you had the aftermath, I was wondering how Yuji would react and it was definitely soul crushing, there were so many people that got the pizza cutter treatment after all, and all this because two goofy high school girls thought they could command him, oh well lol. And man, as fun as this episode was, I’m not sure what’s gonna happen with the rest of the show after seeing it that stuff about the staff recently, my hope is that this gets delayed if the situation is actually that bad and the animators have the proper amount of time to deliver, it would suck having to wait a while for the rest of the show but I think it would be worth it. No matter what happens tho, I’ll be here to watch it. And one last thing, when Sakuna was drinking from that purple cup I couldn’t help but assume it was the Grimace Shake lol, old meme but it still makes me laugh. |

| I love the concept of dudes power basically compelling Sukuna to show up and save his ass. If you think about it, it's really Megumi's fault that like a billion people died from that fight. Anyway that was cool, but again I find these fights where characters are flying all over the screen at hyper speed and smashing through buildings kinda of hard to be invested it. It's hard to follow individual movements and it just becomes a big spectacle - which is cool, but not my favourite. There were definitely some cool shots when the camera slowed down for a second. I feel like a fight like this could work for me, but it would need a much better schedule than what Mappa is struggling with. It's amazing how well this is done despite that. |
| Forgot to question on my previous comment, what was going on with the crunchyroll subtitles? Is that some new translations I don’t know about??? Malevolent kitchen? What? |
| I just watched a movie. |
| Am i the only one thats feeling insanely disappointed with the music in this episode? They could have done so much better... Like, the vast majority to watching an anime over the manga is the music, not the moving part, you have good music you have good anime even if its a slideshow |
| Cinema. (Character Limit) |
| Falling into the Romcom hole. Shonen still my favorite tho. |

I never post on this website... But I had to come here to say how much they botched this episode. The animation was very ambitious but clearly unfinished, and after looking up possible reasons why, I saw that numerous animators from MAPPA took to twitter to distance themselves from what they turned out for this one. They're working on an insanely crunched schedule, and it makes complete sense to me now that so many shots were blurry, impossible to decipher, or just clearly unfinished. With extra time to review, these shots would likely have been entirely re-worked for legibility rather than just rushed to production.
On top of that, the intro theme (which I have thought from the beginning of the season is a huge downgrade from the previous themes) playing during the scene of Yuji's despair at what Sukuna had done in his body, instead of allowing for the undoubtedly amazing scoring the composers would have done here, (or even silence) was a fucking JOKE. So disappointing the company is taking such little care with the product that they're still chasing these insane deadlines and forcing artists to sign off on a lesser-than final product.

| @zazenboy yea the theme song playing during Yuji's mental breakdown honestly made me laugh like complete silence with ear ringing soundeffect playing would've been SO MUCH better. |
 |
| Not surprising to see people in here that can't understand that people are allowed to like something they don't. |
 |
| This episode transported me to Shibuya that’s how immersed and in awe I was. Literally perfection wtf |
| There's 140 meters hole in the middle of city, causing massive damage and death; moreover, Yuji witnessing it all by himself and out of sudden an upbeat type of music start to play. Completely ruin the mood, but at least the fight is enjoyable, props for them. |
