| This is a comprehensive ending to the Hidden Inventory Arc. To be honest, watching the 1st season back in 2021, I was not convinced or even aware of Geto's goal or even Gojo's apparent overpowering abilities. That's why I am in the minority of those who have watched JJK to not really like the characters or the story very much. Not that I hate the show or anything, I just considered the story to not be engaging at all to me... HOWEVER! After seeing this arc now in the 2nd season, I am finally really liking the show. The dynamics between Gojo and Geto were fantastic, I really like their relationship with one another which makes their 'breakup' all the more depressing. Especially when they are at odds with one another. The arc's ending was perfect to me. Gojo being woken up by Megumi was the perfect transition. It made it seems as though Gojo was reliving his past in his dream which to me speaks volume about Gojo. THIS TIME, I am finally eager to see what comes next! |

| I don't think this arc could have ended in a better way. I finally understand the reason why Geto went through such a significant change. This episode illustrated all the factors that were responsible for this in the first place. Without a doubt, the whole incident with Riko's death played a major role, whereby Geto showed a first change in his thinking. However, it was equally easy to see that Geto just seemed completely exhausted mentally and physically, which was brilliantly illustrated in the shower scene. Sadly, due to Gojo's tremendous progress, there was also a certain distance between the two, as he now did all of his missions alone and as a result Geto was also very often alone on his missions. And it is well known that being alone means that you have time to think, which does not always have to be positive. It may be that Yuki didn't necessarily expect it, but her conversation with Geto was probably the biggest motivator that led him in this dangerous direction. Especially when Geto's hatred towards non-sorcerers is factored in at that moment. The final straw was irrevocably Yu's death, since his cheerful, innocent and yet direct manner seemed to keep Geto's dark thoughts away. Hardly anyone could show a reaction other than Gojo's. Someone you have known for such a long time and who you consider to be probably your best friend or even brother is committing such a horrible act. This final conversation between Gojo and Geto further highlighted their vastly opposing views when it comes to absolute power and what one would and should actually do with it. Both of them parting ways definitely made me sad, since I love their chemistry and dynamic. I loved the transition from Gojo and Megumi's first meeting to Megumi waking up Gojo in the present day. As if Gojo had had a long, nostalgic dream. You can see that these events hold a lot of meaning for Gojo, as he probably often wondered what he could have done differently. He may be the strongest, but unfortunately that brings with it a certain loneliness. Still, Gojo's laughter reveals that he sees a lot in common between himself, Geto, and Shoko in Yuuji, Megumi, and Nobara. And how could one feel alone with these 3, right? So this arc definitely ended on a more positive note. Since I'm an anime only, all I know is that the Shibuya arc will start next. I'm super excited to see what awaits me there. |

| Wow almost everything I wanted to know... mixed feeling somehow... with 5ep |
  |
| I feel for Geto man. I don't understand why he has to absorb the curse spirits, can't they just disappear or die after its been exorcised? I guess that's what drove him to madness. So that's where the two annoying girls came from. |
As a wise man once said, "No one hates anime more than anime fans"  |
| Very good slice of life and character development! |
| To Be Honest i understood nothing about how we got from the last Episode to this... I don't get where The heel turn happened, so very confusing |
| Yeah sooo I understand Geto’s reasoning more now. Would be a lot better if he didn't have to kill anybody tho. The Hidden Inventory/Premature Death arc was pretty good. Slightly disappointed that we didn’t see more of anyone who wasn’t Gojo and Geto, but we got some scenes of the others and I’ll take what I can get. The fights were pretty sick and everything looked really good. Story was also really good, I could’ve lived without having to see Riko get shot tho..... |
 |
| And we finally see Geto's final snap and we know how that played out. But I wonder if Gojo will also get to that point. |
 |
| a banger episode again... Now i know the reason and have some compassion for Geto... even tough he killed his own parents... I wonder, what happened to that blondie. If she's still in the game with exorcist or with Geto, or a 3rd part non affiliate. People are complaining for not understanding. I guess, i barely understand because they put "a whole" season into 5 episodes. But I didn't read the mangas so idk if they skip a lot of chapters. Anyway in my mind, it's clear what happened and how. And yes it would have been better if the 5 episodes would have been 10. But with the new format of anime, you can't expect that anymore. It's not 1995-2005 anymore... Btw, i agree with @Embient. It's the perfect moment to see the Movie 0 right now. In term of chronological scale it's now the time. Idk why they didnt put this 5 episodes into the film ( so we could have more content ) and the film into the 5 episodes for season 2. Maybe for the hype... Anyway. Let's see the rest. |

Morpheus: The Matrix is everywhere. It is all around us. Even now, in this very room. You can see it when you look out your window or when you turn on your television. You can feel it when you go to work... when you go to church... when you pay your taxes. It is the world that has been pulled over your eyes to blind you from the truth. Neo: What truth? Morpheus: That you are a slave, Neo. |
| So this is how Geto broke bad huh, that's tough. That said, that blondie just happened to talk to him and said those exact words that's one of the reasons that pushed him off the edge huh, I smell foul play |
 |
| So the masculine guy is the edgy kid's father. I guess we're going back to present in the next episode. |
| شقایق، اینجا من، خیلی غریبم |
| Loved this episode! the last episode of the flashback arc, yuji is back! I loved seeing how Geto slowly declined into his messed up world view and became who he became The animation just doesn't stop getting better! 10/10 episode for sure and I can't wait to continue! |
| Finally, Goto found his way!!! kekeke |
| Suguru did a moral 180° faster than one can say "Kill all monkeys" in this episode. So one of his main motives was... disgust from swallowing all those curses? Which he'll keep on doing until/unless he managed to eradicate all 'monkeys'. Well, at least the prequel stage is finally over and the main story can continue.. The irony is off the charts though when Suguru acted as a check on Gojo's darkest impulses until just the previous episode -where Gojo wanted to kill all those cult humans- and all of a sudden they were reversed. And because they did, I suppose, Gojo needed to be the "adult in the room" in place of Suguru. If he didn't he would follow him to the 'dark side'. |

| @Sharpedon Disgust from swallowing curses is not the main reason why he decided to kill all monkeys. The meaning of life for jujutsu sorcerers is to always fight curses, because they keep coming and coming. The battle never ends and in the end there are only corpses left. And normal people don't even know that there is this war, but if they do they either don't respects sorcerers (like the cult) or are hostile towards them (like the villagers). Also, Suguru is a person who needs a logical reason before acting: he couldn't find one in ep 4, but now he did thanks to Yuki. |
| Imagine normies saying: "Peaky Blinders is mid and overhyped. Just another typical crime drama show. Breaking Bad is much better lol.". |
| I wasn't online here for some time but had to come back to see other peoples take on this. I think they showcased geto's train of thoughts pretty effectively, of how tired and frustrated he felt about current jujutsu system. |
| Yuki really is Todo’s teacher 😭 He got those English words and his main question from her lmao. This arc was a 10/10 |
| ah this show and especially this episode has a "vibe" to it. can't quite put my finger on it but the humor, the seriousness and the non pretentious thoughts are so nice to see. also im glad they upgraded the intro and outro to place it at the end. i miss the banger ED from S1 tho |
 Maybe watching, maybe reading, probably living |
I honestly feel so bad for geto even though we just got to see him and who he is, he has definitely become my favorite jujutsu kaisen character. And it's sad i'm pretty sure we won't be seeing much more of him because he becomes kenjaku.  I hope to see the GOAT again. |
 |
| Back to being plain bad. How can people like this? I'll finish it because I've started it just like Boruto but I wish I'd never started any of the two. |
| I don't know what a signature is. |
| They spent their last buck making Gojo the most handsome anime character It's still hard to root for him though |
