| infernals got a bit lost eh? |
 |
| Satoru is the type to give major spoilers then XD So, that means Itadori will have to let Sukuna possess him when he says the word “Extension”? But if Itadori forgets about this promise then even when Sukuna says Extension Itadori won't really give a shit if he can't remember anything... That fire scene made me go “Ah, Infernal” Next episode will be the best, looks like Satoru's gonna take off his blindfold °Д° |

| Genuinely thought the part with that waiter with four sisters not wanting to approach Getou's table was just for mere comedy... dude, now I'm kinda relieved he left the restaurant in time. Too bad for his co-workers and the customers tho. Uhm... so much focus on comedy for an episode featuring such brutal massive murder scene. Not that I'm particularly complaining but I would have liked things to remain in a more serious tone after that scene. It's a real shame Fushiguro's scene with the dead prisoner's mother lost all its impact due to said comedy tho. Overall, still a rather nice episode. Tense scenes were executed well and comedy was entertaining enough. It also seems we will have quite the fight next episode so I look forward to seeing what Gojou is capable of. |

The anime is a success in Japan and the manga sales has increase a lot. As far as Jump is concerned, its a success. Who gives a shit about haters No, I mean in seeing something fresh and new. This is quite generic so far and it plays very safe. I don't really care about its financial success if artistically it's creatively bankrupt. I don't even dislike it, I just crave something new. Something like TPN and Dr.Stone is a step in the right direction. I hope the two I mentioned in my first post can live up to the hype of being part of the "new WSJ era". Because this show, along with other WSJ adaptations in recent years, have been playing it way too safe by taking too much of past works that were successful. |

That's where the manga starts getting into gear and carved a more original identity. The next arc provides one of the series best villain and a personal reason for Yuuji to strengthten his resolve as a Jujutsu Sorcerer. If you still don't like it, then this series just isn't for you. And no, the next arc is not the tournament arc. Well, I actually said I don't dislike it. It's enjoyable enough and worth following for me, just nothing special. We'll see how far the author is willing to surprise us I guess. |

| Watching movies for training, I'm all on for that. Also loved the attack references. |
 |
| That post credit scene thou... yes Gojou, you know I do... lmao, I really did not expect that. |
| Holy shit that restaurant scene was nasty It will be interesting to see- if Sukuna is willing to not kill or even harm anyone while in a physical body, just what is he looking to do? So much happened yet none of it felt rushed. Consider me impressed. |
 |
| The restaurant scene was quite disturbing, no idea about the random dude quitting his job before that scene. From what I saw, he felt something strange. |

| This anime is so fucking good. I haven't feel this way watching an anime for a long time, not that i haven't been enjoying the anime I've been watching, but this one is special. When Yuuji turned into a paper i was like, i can't belive they actualy did it and then they started talking about kamehameha, i was like yooo, wtffff. The plot, man, this thing is amazing, it's plot twists on top of plot twists, nothing i expected would happen actually happened, is it showing that im fucking loving this show enough lol? I can't wait to see the other episodes, but i got some shit to do now, so i'll save it for later. This isn't my favorite anime of all time or anything, but it's up there with my favorites for sure, this shit is so good. Would recommend to anyone |
| Shit I must have dozed off and started an episode of Fire Force by mistake... |
 |
| Episode very played on the comedy, but which also provides a lot of information so as not to be too unbalanced in the narrative on one side or the other. Some scenes are quite gruesome, which clash a bit with the playful atmosphere had in the initial part of the episode, but this balances the script in a certain sense, given that we are still talking about an anime with splatter and violent tones. The director does his job very well, both in the violent and funny scenes, the situation at the beginning of the episode is very funny when the character of Itadori wakes up. The characters of Nobara, Maki and Panda are also funny. |

Heger said: ttcchen said: I don't know where u saw in the fight that hes not smart. He showed his ability to trick his opponent when he aimed his punch at the ground and throwing up a kick, taking Sukuna by surprise. Tanjiro and Giyuu both are armed during their fight, while Sukuna and Yuji both aren't, so Yuji can only use hand-to-hand combat. Plus sukuna can use curse energies and jujutsus so even when Yuji tricked him and landed a punch, he can still KO yuji any time. He only waited cause he needs yuji to accept the pact so he was going easy on Yuji, making him think that he has a chance of winning, then as soon as Yuji accepts the gamble he gets KO'd. If you think about the previous fights of him you can see that he is acting straightforward and instinctive. He's not calculating outcomes or thinking about a way to win the fight. There was no problem since he was a gorilla in close combat until that fight with special-grade. He just lost the fight because the special grade was more powerful. Another thing is when Sukuna was talking him to have a agreement, he should have turned the agreement into something that will give him advantages. Best example for this is Sora from NGNL. If Sora was in him place, he would've outsmarted Sukuna easily. if Sora is the mc of JJK, then JJK wouldn't be JJK no more. What makes JJK so good is having Yuji as a mc. I don't want anything else. Yuji has only been in like 3 fights before Sukuna. 1: the fight at school. He was new to curses and his opponent is so big and powerful even an experienced sorcerer like Megumi has trouble taking it down, and Megumi's far from stupid, so Yuji literally can't do anything other than throwing himself into the fight cause he has no other choice. 2: the fight in the building. That was an easy curse you literally don't need to be calculative to defeat it. 3: the special grade. When the power difference is so big no matter what plans u come up with, you'll still lose. And we were shown Yuji doesn't even have time to think when he was facing off that special grade. It was attack after attack knocking him down. And we see before the fight too that Yuji was the one who came up with the plan to get Megumi and Nobara out so he can unleash Sukuna. So we know he's far from stupid and relying on his instincts. He doesn't charge into a fight with a special grade knowing the power difference. He used the opportunity that the special grade wasn't attacking to relay his plan to Megumi. Then he doesn't attack it either, he stayed on the defense cause he knows he can't win. Now, tell me, how is that "straightforward" and "instinctive"? PS: I doubt Sora can outsmart Sukuna, a thousand year old curse who used to be a human+sorcerer with a bundle of knowledge about curses and sorcery, far more than what Yuji know at the moment. So even if Sukuna took over Yuji's place, he'd still have limited knowledge on this new world and Sukuna would still be able to trick him into accepting the pact cause he knows about pacts more than Yuji/Sora does. |
| Oh man of course there's gonna be intelligent cursed spirits walking around plotting shit in secret and of course a human is involved, fucking traitor. But I remember hearing something like cursed spirits can't leave the place they were born so how come these 3 are walking around? Also, that guy's reaction to Itadori coming back to life was hilarious |
 |
| Seems like it's finally time for Satoru to show how powerful he is. Most likely, he will easily win, but I'm really excited for it anyway. |
| That burning scene creeped me out... 5/5 |
| hmm pretty interesting way of Itadori coming back, won't lie when i say i laughed my ass off when Sukuna offed Itadori in his realm the minute he accepted. But really interesting that Itadori actually had the conditions wiped from his brain, pacts can be scary i guess. I can understand Gojou wanting Itadori labelled as dead rn, but releasing him at a joint school festival of sorts out of all times, is pretty questionable, unless the festival is way bigger of an event than i think. Some cool training for Itadori, pretty neat references this episode, bleach, naruto, dragon ball etc. definitely didn't hold back on the names xD Training arc time i guess? Megumi and Kugisaki being trained by their seniors, and Itadori by Gojou. Mugumi seems to have something going, phasing through the ground? Inumaki going "tuna tuna" was oddly satisfying as well. Fights brewing next episode, hope Gojou wipes the floor clean with that mike wazowski's looking ass mf, that curse killed innocents for no reason. |
 "yabe." |
| Ahhhhh this episode was a blast. There wasn't a single second I didn't love. I may be totally projecting here, but this whole shit with the demons acknowledging the shifting power dynamic and Gojou monologuing about the corruption at the upper end of Jujutsu Tech... suggests this show will inevitably transcend this yokai hunting story into a rich story about demon/human politics, and if so, I'm fucking PSYCHED. |

| The episode was toasty |
 |
| You have got my attention jjk, best episode so far. 4/5. |
| Welp, they formed a pact alright, but the second condition is really troublesome for Yuuji. The way he just rose up from the bed so casually! LMAO XD So, Gojou's ambition is to revolutionize the Jujutsu world by introducing strong members that support the same kind of goals as he does. Aside frorm that, I like the whole scene surround him when he welcomed Yuuji back. The OST in particular is so good! Welp, whoever that guy is that dipped from his job. Enjoy being alive with your 4 little sisters. He made a wise choice that night. Amazing OST here and there |

| That restaurant scene was rather disturbing and I just happened to watch Terminator 2 nuke scene from YouTube before this episode.. |
 |
| How intuitive the resigned employee was! RIP to those unfortunately burnt to death in the restaurant… |
 |
| That restaurant employee bailed out before he got fried to death (ToT) That conversation between Megumi and the mother was pretty odd. Not sure why he said all those stuff to her like it would matter but whatever. What are the police gonna do when they watch the CCTV footage and it only shows that monk in there doing nothing but everyone else were bursting into flames XD Gojou's goal is interesting. It's true he can't just kill everyone at the top so he's raising people with the same idea as him. I feel like JJK's gonna evolve beyond the curses and monsters stuff which is exciting to see. Although, they still need to make it clear though who these people at the top are and who's the top bozo in the jujutsu tech. Pretty much a training episode and some setups here and there. Next episode's gearing up for a fight between the big guns. |
 |
| Are they setting up for a Sasuke-like entrance to the tournament? |
| This cursed energy stuff is almost as complicated as nen from hunter hunter. Fun little training episode though, sure moved on quickly after itadori’s “death”. |
  NYANPASU  whiskey tango foxtrot |
| Shouts to the restaurant employee that dipped when he felt something wrong lmao trust your instincts. |
| Damn, I love this. Everything about it, except maybe the panda and that 2nd year female character. Man, that ending, I can't watch another episode, at least for now. I have to do something before but omggg GOJOUUUU!!! |
Come on man,where is that Noragami season 3 masterpiece.We want it, Bones! |
| Oh, we're about to see Gojou in action. |
"At some point, I stopped hoping." |
| Man, I hate when they kill innocent people :( That guy was so lucky he quit right then hahaha |
 |
| What a fucking funny episode |
