| As the story moves forward. We are finally looking at Shibuya and what all the people have been up to. Where Gojo seems to find himself facing the same good old curses from last season. Yuji is with Mei Mei and Ui Ui who will face his side of problems. Ui Ui made his first appearance. Looking forward to the interaction between the characters whom we didn't get to meet that much in the previous season. Yuji is a nice kid. Praying for the deceased. Gojo looks menacing there at the end. Once again, Ghosting is gonna be the biggest problem that this show is gonna face. Sadly. All one can do is wait for the Blu-rays. Can't wait for the next episode. |

| This is the Gojo I remember. As the curtain descends within Shibuya, within the curtain, lies many ordinary people are trapped, and all communication cut off. Numerous sorcerers gather in Shibuya, but to minimize the damage, Gojo heads alone to Shibuya Station's underground platform. There, Gojo confronts Jogo, Hanami, and Choso. On the other hand, Yuji, accompanied by Mei Mei, encounters a cursed spirit capable of human speech. Sorcerers, cursed users, and cursed spirits converge in Shibuya, marking the beginning of an unprecedented large-scale battle, "The Shibuya Incident". I'm glad that they made some adjustments to the chapter order, ensuring there's a smoother flow without constant shifts between characters. This way, the upcoming episode promises to be consistently captivating. The decision to reorganize the chapters was a wise one, as it rectified the awkward pacing that was present in the original manga. I believe they're undervaluing Gojo's abilities in this situation. Besides shedding light on Geto's growing resentment towards humanity, the flashback serves as an introduction to a Gojo who harbors little regard for non-jujutsu users. Their attempt to trap him might falter because they underestimate his determination to protect those without jujutsu abilities. He may find a way to turn this to his advantage. Also this episode made me realize that Itadori could GREATLY benefit from diversifying his combat skills beyond just relying on punches and kicks. Currently, his fights have become rather monotonous, lacking the excitement of other encounters. But at least he kicked that dude’s ass and looked awesome doing it. Welp, the next episodes title is 'Gate Open'. So soon huh. Sigh.  |

| I fucking loved how Gojo flexed and was quite literally walking over the heads of the crowd of people trapped within the curtain lol. Though that being just one of the instances, as when he finally came face-to-face with the trio who were put in charge to slow Gojo down… this time he flexed with his strength. The thing with this arc is we would frequently get the pov’s of many people, and that’s almost every five minutes. So Gojo being busy with his work, we did also get Itadori and Mei mei doing their part of the job. Could care less about that annoying shouta, I’m just kind of glad that Itadori FINALLY GOT TO KNOW the name of Mahito lol. I mean he was calling him “this guy” or “that guy” this whole while. Grasshopper against Itadori was… good enough to let us know that our main has certainly grown, but that’s just it. Not sure if they extended that part to how it was originally in the manga, but that certainly felt LONG lol. Though we move with his win to Gojo’s side of the proceedings. Hanami, Jougo, Choso against Gojo all alone, and moreover while him trying to protect people as well, but him being him, he fucking OBLITERATED them with ease despite everything. I think it’s a good thing they let that Itadori part out of the way, and had the last few minutes of this episode plus will have the entirety(?) of next episode over Gojo’s fight… as that would make whatever about to come a LOT MORE impactful. |

| Genuinely, fuck japanese TV for so many reasons but especially for ghosting. Everyone else suffers for the 0.001% |
| TOHO is hellbent on ruining our viewing experience. Ghosting and dimming is legit the worst I’ve ever seen in an anime. Crunchyroll is able to stream Demon Slayer and Attack on Titan without these fucking filters but somehow cannot do the same for Jujutsu Kaisen. Makes sequences damn near unwatchable and just unpleasant to sit through. No one is buying your overpriced blue rays; stop imposing your tv regulations on streaming platforms. FUCK. The animation wasn’t spectacular for Yuji vs Grasshopper and didn’t need to be with the production schedule they have, but the ghosting and dimming made it legit horrible to watch. |

@KneelBeforeMe chill dude, i know how you feel. But they need money to feed their wallet, oops i mean to keep making more anime.
Business is business
Business is business
| @lilyxxwise More like retarded business. I very much doubt its a good decision to not release "unghosted" versions to streaming platforms. It makes a show that's partially known for its animation close to unwatchable. I for one honestly start to lose interest and i dont think im the only one. |
| Yuuji absolutely violated Grasshopper. Had funny moments that I had forgot from the manga too. The ghosting however was so obnoxious. The ONLY thing that will hold Shibuya back. There’s is no way ghosting helps anyone in that grasshopper fight.  Anyways next week is FERAL GOJO AHHHHHHH. Mod Edit: Removed image; posts must not contain more than one screenshot |

| Kinda disappointed wished the Gojo fight was in this episode and Yuji fight was shorter like in the manga. At least next week is gonna be a banger. |
The animation when yuji was doing ora-ora treatment to the insect was laughable And also the dimming... i think i should hold this season, waiting for the BDs to release |

| Waiting for the Bluray is valid lol Anyway, Gojo being HIM is still KINO. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Wonder what Geto has planned for Gojo. It seems like things are going according to his plan. Itadori's doing pretty well by himself. It looks like they're going to set up a showdown between Itadori and Mahito like in the OP. |
| This episode was pretty good for the most part, except for the ghosting. I'm a little worried about future fights, but we'll have to wait and see. I'm excited to see Gojo next episode!! |
| Holy fuck can someone give me a specific moment in this episode where "ghosting" noticeably fucked it up because I'm genuinely watching these episodes all the way through and am barely noticing shit. It was worse last week but idk my enjoyment this week was barely affected 🤷♂️ Anyway, it looks like they slightly changed the order of events in the anime but it should make things flow better. In the manga, we saw some of the Gojo fight first before switching to Yuji's fight then coming back to Gojo, but here they got Yuji's fight out of the way so the focus can stay on Gojo's fight. I like that choice. I remember someone asking last week why they dragged all the innocent people into this and as I told them, this episode explained that. Of course, you can take all the prerequisite measures that you want, but when it's Gojo you're dealing with there still isn't any guarantee of success/victory. He looked like a menace at the end, and we know what happens when that man gets serious. A moment I've been dying to see animated will happen next week so I can't wait for that. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. |
| Must be horrible being trapped in a way that you can't understand. Ui has hero worship looks like. The one who think's he's clever turned out to be the dumb one in the end. Still proved to be a pretty capable opponent for Yuji though. Using hostages in that fashion though what cowards. In the end Baldy and his men were only stalling tactics nothing more. Overall an excellent start to the arc that made great usage of the tension we had from the buildup last ep. |

| Some nice Itadori action, he smashed the bug. The plan to take down Gojou is set in place and so far things going according to plan for them but with Gojou just opening his eyes, things are about to get serious. |

| Seizure-fest Kaisen should be the new name for this series...My eyes are bleeding. |
| Shibuya vibing rn. And we need to wait 1 week again.. |

| Am I the only one who sees a weird circle slightly above the subtitles? Damn Yuuji's reaction. We still remember Junpei. I really appreciate the National Geographic part. Made much more sense why that curse is so powerful and why it exists in the first place. 15:31 Lol Ko-guy as in 蝗害 (kougai) - "locust plague" I love how the curses are just fooling around in playground lmao Did the big bubble at the end popping signify something? The veil is broken or something? Epic! |
 |
| This episode was alright. But man... those ghosting and dimming effects are fucking disgusting. Like what the hell i just watch? It hurts my eyes And now I'm worried about the next episode will going. |

| Yuji is strong and nice to see the introduction of Domain Amplification in the anime |
| Itadory, unusually, was calm in his fight against Ko-guy. Gojo was also very calm, something that surprised me a lot. Jougo didn't ever seem surprised. I think everything is going according to the plan until now. I wonder how Gojo will fix this situation. |
 |
| Grasshopper curse was the highlight of the episode. It's been a while since I actually saw Itadori fight anyone. |
 |
| With all this planning going on, and the plan looks pretty good. they seemed to of missed one vital thing. Yuuji! |
 To have you, Id give a billion lives A-Chan best girl |
| Damn they didnt miss with that jojo reference on that grasshopper fight lmao |
| Gojo doesn't seem to be having too much difficulty in this situation, which isn't that surprising. Itadori and Mei Mei got to team up for this one, looks like its going well. |
 |
| god, the manga has been out for years, they could've analyzed which parts are and which parts aren't relevant in the long run and cut some of it out... like, was there a reason to have yuji fight this insect curse for over half of the episode? makes me think they are planning a shibuya incident part 2 season, cuz no way they fit all of it in the 15 or so episodes that remain |
| me: idc about gojo gojo, about to get sealed for the next 2 seasons: ... me: wtf!!!!!!!!! who allowed!!!!!! |
| CRAPPA back at again ruining anime like they did Chainsaw Man. ufotable would never. |
