Killerb96 said: So, should this be treated directly as a tragedy with no way to roll back?RobertBobert said: He* (toji) kill the girl, no she wont get back, the cult was clapping because gojo recovery the girl from the group of toji...but both geto and gojo were mad because the cult was aplauding to a dead girl ,and both wanted the girl to live and escape that path that why gojo asks geto if he wants to kill them Stop, I still don't get it. Did they finally kill the girl or will they have some way to resurrect her? |

Aso2027 said: KneelBeforeMe said: I was frank and I only said the truth IT'S OK IF YOU CAN'T ACCEPT IT.Imagine being this dismissive of how great MAPPA is adapting Gege’s work (he himself love what MAPPA is doing). Drop the anime and stick to the manga, no one is holding you back. Imagine thinking your opinion is "truth," while all others are wrong. Superiority complex much? We get it, you're so special & have the best opinions! Oh wait, I'm sure you're one of those guys who calls clearly subjective takes "objective facts." But no, it's OTHER people who "can't accept it," not YOU who can't accept that other people think your take is dumb. It must be everyone else, certainly not you! "bUt tHe MaNgA!" - Cool. It still exists. In the meantime, learn some humility & accept that you're very much in the minority. Most people loved this episode, think it was an excellent adaptation, and enjoy the work Mappa is doing. Who are you to tell them they're "wrong" and YOU have the true answer? Nobody. Same as me, same as the next guy. Moving on... |

| Gojo's scene was very beautiful. |
| Tragic? Yes. Still gotta watch it? Yes absolutely@ |
| Strong action boards from Imai, but I wish the fight was a bit longer, I know that it is already extended from the manga but still. Geto and Gojo's ideologies are finally coming through. Nice choice of ost when the red and blue energies were mixing. |
| Enlightened Gojo was very entertaining to watch. I loved how it all looked visually with the sunset. The ending was ominous for Geto as a character. |

| Gojo was finally able to use the Reverse Cursed technique on the verge of death and used it to heal himself. But ultimately killing Fushiguro serves no real purpose since he has already killed Riko and that means their mission has failed. This was also the first time Gojo used hollow purple. Toji would have been able to defeat awakened Gojo if he had let go of his pride and done preparation before going up against him once again. Well, now we know why Megumi was adopted by Gojo. I guess this is the end of this arc. It did feel a bit rushed and Gojo's reverse cursed technique application felt like plot armour to some extent but it was one hell of an arc. Toji was a beast. |

| Ya my boy is OP OP af doing some more math shit cause a negative times a negative is a positive bb so imma revive real quick. Mangaka was really into math and combining primary colours apparently lol. This was pretty cool tho. We obviously knew Gojo was gonna come back because of season 1. |
| How much more badass can you get than dying while standing upright with the right side of your torso basically non-existent. And at the beginning while he's getting pummelled by a dragon, he still fires shots at Geto from AFAR which would've hit Geto if he didn't think fast. Reading the manga a few months ago, I thought I and everyone else would be just down in the dumps after Riko would be killed. It's still sad, but honestly it's kind of whatever compared to Toji's death. I am actually bummed out that arguably the coolest character of JJK was around for only 3 episodes. Ik ik it's about Gojo and Geto... but with the way Toji stole the show, is it really?? Ofc I'm still sad about Riko though. Geto and Gojo basically set her free from having to assimilate with Tengen-sama, she was crying tears of joy as she realized she would no longer have to be the vessel, and could go on and live her life. At least she served her purpose in probably being what is the catalyst of Geto's current present day character. What does he want to do again, kill all non-sorcerers, right? Yeah it's probably Toji that sparked that since he has no curse energy. The whole thing definitely affected Geto more than Gojo since Geto was there seeing Riko get shot right in front of him, starting his downward spiralling descent into madness and EVIL!!! Although... As for the elephant in the room, how did Gojo come back from the DEAD? Or was he not actually dead, and was instead just taking a really good nap? I didn't understand in the manga, and it still went over my head here. Maybe it's more simple than it sounds but all the cursed energy mumbo jumbo does get me confuzzled sometimes. But it's okay, I got a plain and simple explanation for it myself. Dude just needed some sleep, and what better sleep than being freaking DEAD. Nap slapped so hard that it revived him and even brought him back at full fighting power, allowing him to finally beat Toji. Ez Hidden Inventory arc was pretty good as expected. Although much shorter than it seemed like it would be compared to the manga. Thought this would at least last for 6 or so episodes. Maybe some stuff was skipped over, or maybe I'm getting arcs mixed up. No spoilers, but I thought there was supposed to be a giant robot somewhere here. Or maybe that comes later. Anyway, onto the 5th episode which, idk what happens in it, but right after that we get straight into the long-awaited Shibuya arc. Heck yeah baby. edit: whoops forgot to watch the after-credits scene, which I just did. Make sure you don't miss that. Thought we'd get a Homelander-moment where they'd laser down the whole crowd. I thought it was a dream sequence for a second, but I guess it was real; they went to retrieve Riko's body. Gojo walks on with her body in his arms, while Geto looks back at the religious organization, probably in utter disgust. |

| Damn that guy is Megumi's dad? And I assume Geto absorbed that worm like thing he had |
| I have a third testicle that gives me psychic powers |
| I love the manga panel of Honored One more, but goddamn, Gosso and Mappa are really enhancing the source material here |

| It is extremely rare for me to rewatch shows, but I've replayed EP 3 and 4 multiple times over the past few weeks. Toji is such a badass character. The villain you can't help but root for. He is rivaled only by Gojo, who has godlike power and 3 digit fight IQ. If Toji was just a bit less cocky and a bit quicker to chop off his opponent's head(s), I think he would have won. But that's not the plot of course so he lost. Though Toji died, he still succeeded in killing the Star Plasma vessel. He could have killed Geto as well but chose not to because of the ramifications. So he can rest knowing that he will go down in history as the 'monkey' who absolutely bullied and exposed the most powerful, elite Jujutsu sorcerers of their generation. As an anime-only fan I wonder does Megumi inherit some of his father's physical ability on top of his curse abilities? Or is that only possible through a heavenly pact? |
| The amount of action in this one episode is insane, and it's all due to Daddy Toji, the badass... Geto cannot even slow Toji, much less stop and kill him, the man is just unbearably powerful, and his combat prowess, physical abilities, and tactical intelligence is on another level, it took an awakened Gojo that could use the reversal curse technique to finally end Toji's life for good. Rest in pieces Toji, you were awesome, on another note, it's somewhat endearing that upon his dying breath, he remembers his son's face and circumstances. The bigger point to discuss is the post-credit scene of Gojo handling Riko's corpse and what he said to Geto. The way he is now he no longer cares if Geto would have killed the cult members in cold blood. Geto's justification for not doing that is that there's no point to do so. And then comes the big question. "Does there need to be any point to it?" That challenges the fundamental action of doing something to expect a desired reaction. Eliminating the expectation to do something just for the sake of it. Is this perhaps the little seeds of catalyst that turned Geto away from Gojo? |
