That’s an awesome panel, damn. Manga is probably way better lol |
 |
| Itadori desperately needs a training arc! Sukana really can be a scary guy. That smile at the end was terrifying! |
 |
| I like how Sukuna first Ask Itadari to Stich back before going nuts!! The Ed is more interesting than the OP!! |
 |
| An okay episode this time for me. 3/5 |
 |
| another finger acquired...nice..hmm |
 |
| That last Sukuna smile was a perfect ending for the episode. Impress me MAPPA. |

Ventus_S said: Honestly speaking, the pacing and atmosphere of this anime is done quite well (a little too fast paced tbh), but having mc accessing to free deus ex machina whenever he calls for it is a bit much, especially at this early on into the serie. All the "struggling" feels artificial afterward. (Especially the missing body able to heal when he pleases too) So mc is able to freely control the curse king that's so strong with 1/10 of his power is able to annihilate another special grade curse, but then mc is no match to the lowly curse monster even though he is able to control something this strong? Also this mission makes 0 sense. If they already knew there's a special grade curse in it, what's the point of sending a bunch of students in? What are they trying to achieve? They end up escaping immediately anyway. They enter the domain just to check "hey, I'm just here to confirm if there's really a special grade curse monster in it, so let's send in 3 juvillene who has 0 chance of winning?" Is the association really this dumb? They already knew there's a special grade monster in it isn't it? They explained that at the begining of the chapter tho... Their mission was never to fight, it was to rescue possible survivors, also they didn't know there was a special grade curse, they said it was a posibility and if that was the case, they were told to scape.... |

| Man this anime is turning out really good. I'm glad it didn't turn into another fake hype train like god of high school (that anime was so garbage) |

I guess he left his smarts for this show alone. This was an amazing episode. |

| What amazing animation from MAPPA! Totally loved it as a Manga reader. The emotional moment was way better here for Yuji. I'm also kind of disappointed about how they showcased Sukuna's Domain Expansion, but if I remember correctly we will see it soon enough again. That concludes vol 1 of the Manga. Pacing is really good. like.... 8 chapters into 4 episodes is a really good anime pacing. |

| Jujutsu Kaisen is definitely showing a lot more of it’s dark side off today. |

_CoveredSKY said: AcbSnakeDemon said: Is this shonen or seinen? Not that I have a problem with it, this is great. Kugisaki is waifu material Domain Expansion was crazy, that’s what real Jujutsu is? Epic It publishes in Weekly Shounen Jump, it's Shounen but comparatively darker than others. Might sound nitpicking by a manga reader but Domain Expansion was much better in the manga, it's still great here but compared to the same in manga, it feels watered down  I think the anime want to save the best part for later a.k.a next episode when we can see the more close up to Sukuna's Domain |
| Damn, that episode was wild. Itadori is definitely a great MC, and he finally learned how to use cursed energy sadly it wasn't enough. Do I smell training arc someday. Sukuna is fucking awesome, he's one of those likeable pieces of shit. If there was something higher than a special grade then Sukuna is definitely it. That special grade didn't even hold a candle to him. Does, Gojou have a domain expansion too? That'd be dope as fuck. Welp, looks like Itadori is lights out right now. Sukuna is gonna go wild let's go. |
 |
| Such a great episode! So the dead one mentioned the last episode is Yuuji ?? I relaxed a little bit because I believe the main character must have something special.( But the white dog's death made me feel like a pity...) The first part: OHHHH The new curse is so POWERFUL.How can we beat him? The second part : How could you have the name of super curse huh ?? Hope to see how Megumi can prevent Sukuna who got Yuuji's body. |

| Good episode, didn't see that coming with the power difference of the villains. I heard this show is gonna have some good twists and turns and I sure hope thats true. |

| It was lame. I'm giving it one more episode. The comedy moments are just stupid, totally ruins any tension. What the fuck was the author thinking...honestly. |
| I was disappointed before because they did not kill anyone But this episodes proved me wrong. The author is not afraid to kill people |
| Oh right, no way they finished these nice arc at one episode only, right? I am still curious about Nobara, how could she ended up like that? I didn't even believed when she was supposed in the frog mouth but ended up with that bad conditions. Well, maybe in the last of the arc everything must be explained precisely. Here they were, 4 episodes in, already fighting against a highest level of curse. Its not even just a rescue mission, its a suicide mission! Itadori even couldn't even had a power to came back again after changing his positions with Sukuna. Ah, then Fushigiro must battling against Sukuna. No way he could defeat him! But i don't want him to death! Damn, its went to another cliffhanger, ofc, its need to post-poned a bit before its get fast. But why Kakash--err, i mean, Gojou sensei left them like that? He really such a dedicated and respected sensei, really had a nice type of heart that left his student with that kind of situation. Oh, man, why Gojou sensei .... Okay, left aside the plot wise aspect, these episode was so amazing with its animation against their action packed. Its intensification, tho. Full of blood, full of violence too, and i just love all of that graphics. Full of thrilling moments, especially when suddenly Nobara dissappeared, and the white dog, death, i thought she was died too. Lol. The question was the real power and then, how to use the Curse properly? Its still remain unknown. Poor Itadori, didn't had a chance to learnt it first, not even from Sukuna. Yeah, love his expression at the end xD. The next one must be great again, i can't wait for it. But i must hold my curiosity. Because, more characters had an appearance again. Then, the battle of one sided, must be great to see the outcome. Okay, enough, thats it for now. |

| Sukuna is really badass here. It was just like a walk in the park when he's killing curses. Great Episode and Animation as well again. MAPPA is doing a good job. |

liam0207 said: what do you mean Itadori's double? Sukuna's his own person, not just like a split personality version of Yuji. He's also the main antagonist of the series, if you can't tell already, so he's not just your cliche "powerup with dire consequences". He shouldn't be treated like a powerup at all. You should see him as a villain hiding in the protagonist's body and eavesdropping on all the conversations so he can gain the upperhand later. Yuji will learn and develop powers of his own and will never rely on Sukuna, not even in a dire situation, because he will soon learn that Sukuna is pure evil and shall not be trusted with control of his body. Srsly, Best episode so far. I loved that ending; I hope Sukuna stays as a 'powerup with dire consequences', and, more or less, retains his identity as an individual character and not just Itadori's double. , so yeah, no He's not a powerup |
| Pretty deece but there's one thing that bugged me. I feel like it doesn't make sense that there are no other Sorcerers (or w/e) available to help out in this very serious (I mean you heard how that one suit described it) situation. This sorcerer organization or whatever tf is so big that they have a university, but their logistics are in such a mess that all they can managed are a bunch of recruits? I don't buy it. It breaks my immersion. I get the author wanted to have MC fight a rly strong curse so that he would have to let Sukuna out, but it would have a lot more believable for me if they had unexpectedly been attacked/stumbled into this special grade curse. This is pretty nitpicky but it's the kind of world building decisions that I pay attention to. |
| Really good episode. Itadori's second side is pretty funny. Lol |

He didn't know his students were about to be sent on a suicide mission. Yes, that's exactly what this is, and there's a reason for it. Nobara didn't get injured AFTER getting inside the frog, she was injured BEFORE getting inside the frog. We saw her almost get eaten. U thought she would have just let the curses grab her without a fight? She must have fought desperately but lost cause there're so many of them, and got beaten down before she was finally caught.

Lol Lol sukuna's a completely different person. In fact, he's the main villain of this show. If you see him simply as another side of yuji then ur gonna have trouble later on |
| No more nails for you girl! |
| "The future is always blank. Only your willpower can leave footsteps there." "Ruling over death means ruling over life. Death is the climax of life. To have the best death, you must honor life." |
| yet another enjoyable & great episode! the humour can actually be so good when it's not slapstick reaction/gags, it takes away so much from the tension. the humour is definitely in the witty dialogue. i love itadori already, what a refreshing MC. his regrets & fears were really well-conveyed. i also LOVE the voice work that enoki junya is doing for him! also i feel like anyone who is complaining that the curse was so easily defeated is clearly missing the point - pretty sure the narrative & focus this episode wasn't mean to be (solely) the curse, but sukuna lol ttcchen said: i think ur main criticism with this anime is due to your misinterpretation of Sukuna as simply a power instead of an actual villain/antagonist. "But the power is ridiculously stronger than most enemies, which makes the tension be considerably lower than what it should be." Sukuna isn't a powerup or a plot device or a deus ex machina for Yuji to tame and learn to take control of. He's his own person and frankly speaking after his performance in this episode you should've known that he's pure evil and is the main antagonist of this series, so he'll never be tamed or persuaded to join the good side and help Yuji, cause he IS the bad side. he is the big bad boss of this anime. all the villains see him as their boss. so what you're worried about (him becoming simply a power and lowering the tension) will NEVER happen. Plus, what had happened recently in the manga pretty much established the fact that Sukuna is unredeemable and there's absolutely 0% chance he'll become good, EVER. that 5 minute you mentioned is to show us how much damage sukuna can do if he's allowed control of Yuji's body (more will be shown next episode). it's not to show us that "oh sukuna is this strong so once yuji controls him he can gain this power and become this strong too!" it's to show us the power difference between Yuji and him, the final boss. ^well put - i couldn't agree more! |
 ꕤ but i’ll probably remember over and over again you were there and everyone else was there — the day we all searched for just one thing ꕤ |
| Don't know anything about the behind-the-scenes of this show (like what people are working on it and whatnot) but I'd be lying if I said I didn't expect this to turn out the same way God of Highschool did. Boy am I glad I was wrong. So far this show exceeded my expectations with the 2nd episode and it keeps meeting the ones set higher ever since then. Should've given MAPPA the benefit of the doubt, because most of their shows are great, even though many have minor flaws. But overall, this show has been a really great watch and I've been watching every single episode from start to finish without skipping any second of it, ever since they showed the OP and ED. This episode in particular was more focused on the action and Sukuna, and I'm really looking forward to see how they develop his character! |
| That was NOT 20 minutes wtf I need more. I like Sukuna's psycho smile and laugh lol |

Mmm, i am sorry. But i saw her eyes and her head got bandaged at the end, and i don't see she had a scratch on her eyes or her head at the end of the frog caught her. Was that any mistakes? Or what exactly happened there? XD |

What the fuck was the author thinking...honestly. The problem is that it ruins the tension building of a scene. You have a mother bawling and MC going serious face. The danger of the setting is established, Special grade monster, creepy environment, etc. Cliche, but okay good. Then in the middle of this, they through in slapstick comedy, breaking the sense of danger and seriousness that was building. This is not a comedy, and this is not a funny moment. One must know when to be serious and when to be humorous. When you try to mix in as this episode does, it ends up ruining everything. Shit like this tells me exactly what level the author is at, and what I can expect going ahead. I'm not impressed. Hopefully, I'm proven wrong next episode. The last two episodes have been rough. |
Nycro said: Good episode but that stupid slapstick humour almost ruined the mood of this episode. Does anyone find it funny? I mean it wasn't that bad but Japanese creators often have bad timing with these funny scenes, I like when the anime is specifically divided into lighter humorous and more serious episodes, throwing a comedy scene at such point makes no sense and dystroying the atmosphere of the episode. |
You are 100% right but the funny thing you can say exact the same thing about Kimetsu No yaiba which you have in favorites so I found it funny XD. |
ReegrezSNK said: You are 100% right but the funny thing you can say exact the same thing about Kimetsu No yaiba which you have in favorites so I found it funny XD. Check my profile again. And yes, Kimetsu no Yaiba suffers from this as well. |
