| mappa is going all out with this! that restaurant scene was incredible. Loved the references to naruto bleach and yuyu |
| I liked the episode. Now I'm wondering what that contract Itadori made with Sukuna means. Also hyped for the next one. The fight between that Curse and Gojou might be good. Well except, you know... if Gojou does a oneshot to that thing... I hope that doesn't happen. |

| Today I learned: Always trust your guts, even if it means quitting your job in the spot! Also did the movie guy cut the right cord?!? DON'T LEAVE ME HANGING LIKE THIS I NEED TO KNOW |
 |
| Another great episode with funny moments, great pacing, and great animation. Really loved seeing the references to Yu Yu Hakusho and other series such as Bleach, Naruto, and DB. Also can't wait to see Gojo animated with all his fire abilities. Next week is finna be a treat. Also...Anyone that doesn't like the pacing of events right now, you might as well drop the show. As the pacing in the manga sometimes is iffy and all over the place and that'll ofc translate over to the anime. It's one of the unique things I love about this mangaka and series as a whole. Always keeps you thinking (Still don't get how some didn't like the pacing of this episode, I thought it was perfect.) |

| Phew, finally had a spare time to watched this episode. Honestly, they already brought back the memories with a certain famous shounen story. Especially with Yuji's training session, and Sukuna's domain. Well, they were not even hide the reference. So i think its really deserved a little laugh from me with their little comedy attempt. Once again, i don't ask to open my stash there. So, i hope you won't to. Okay i think thats it for now. I am out! |

| I really laughed after a long time, this ep was really funny. They really know how to gently pass from comedy to thriller, from thriller to action etc. I think this unpredictable story path will make this anime one of the best ones. After the pact scene with Sukuna, I realized Yuuji is not smart at all. He was lucky to have a talent like absorbing the king of cursed ones but he got no smart thinking abilities to fight with that. We also saw that at the previous fight too. From another perspective, he is trying to negotiate with a being lived hundreds of years. And the other cursed white poor guy was also top tier for him since he didn't had powers until recently. I saw some comments that this anime is like Demon Slayer but there is a major brain power difference between Tanjiro and Yuuji. Even from the first episodes of Demon Slayer, Tanjiro outsmarted an armed guy without having any combat trainings, with an axe. I also have to say that Yuuji is not completly acting dumb, just not using his brain too much. Maybe he will improve his tactical side with time, we will see that. One last thing, the way that creators made main guy train with watching movie is pretty unusual and creative way to look at that. They could have just go with believe in yourself, imagine bad things or make him hate something. I really liked that idea. |

| Yuuji getting edo Tensai'd lol. At least he's finally training to get stronger now. |
 |
| Sukuna has a certain interest in Fushiguro, and why is it just 1 minute? It could even be more. Explained why Gojou simply does not kill superiors. Another great episode, waiting for the fight in the next episode. |

| Did Yuuji beat Sukuna for a revival without any conditions? Doubtful. Did this episode set us up well for a fight next episode that should be pretty much epic? Definitely. I'm not that fond of the excess of comedy in this episode, though it's a shonen so I guess it's typical. |
 |
| What a fun episode. I really like that there is a plenty of comic relief in this show. Looks like it's back to an action packed episode next week. Should be good. |
badabass said: Ah, that long hair man, that i thought Jujutsu's academy higher-ups. I still don't know this man background, maybe the next episode will reveal his full background. But at this episode, he had a bad intentions and such an evil scheme by easily killing all of that peoples in the restaurant. The one who killed all the people in the restaurant is Jogo (volcano head) not Geto (long haired guy) Heger said: After the pact scene with Sukuna, I realized Yuuji is not smart at all.

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.

The mangaka is a huge fan of YuYu Hakusho and HxH and it'll show in the series moving forward. The author did say that the series did start in a Bleach like setting and had some similarities from Naruto.. But this is the point from where it goes in it's own direction..You guys will love it..

ZedelPilfer said: Kimurah said: Surprise surprise. As I called in the previous episode, Yuuji's false death was nothing more than smoke and mirrors, you can't expect a cheap writer to take off the huge plot armor of the main characters, so soon. All the comedic references to older shonen titles just tells me this show is going for what the Simpsons did in the later seasons, make references of already famous titles rather than try to be funny on it's own or make fun of them with a smarter joke/parody. Yeah because he definitely got revived normally with no extra conditions whatsoever. Less plot armour more like plot point. You're just talking semantics. Him being revived because "reasons" doesn't weaken the obvious plot armor, including whatever Sukuna will include in his conditions. But hey, it's nice to see people tryhard to deny the obvious with weak arguments. |
ttcchen said: The one who killed all the people in the restaurant is Jogo (volcano head) not Geto (long haired guy) Yes, yes, i mean, Jogo. Sometimes my mind can be easily mixed up when writing something. So, thats it! But Geto let him do that, so i am still count him as a killer too. They both killer. (hey, this is my opinion. Don't debate this, please. Okay? Lol) |

| I fucking LIVE to hear Nakamura say "Yume ga Aru", also those quick references were fantastic, most people don't quite notice it but it helps a lot to give a down-to-earth feel to the show and anchor it in reality, and also some Jump auto-sucking. Damn I can't wait for next week it's been probably years since I actually couldn't wait 1 week for another episode of a seasonal show, MAPPA's job is astounding. |
| The waiter made a smart move quitting. This is a very different kind of training arc... I can't wait to see Gojo destroy this volcano guy next episode. |
 |
| Kimurah is on his bullshit again lol. |
 |
| They didn't hold back on the restaurant scene, that's the advantage of a light night show Those shonen references lol |
 |
| That lucky waiter can sense a scary dark aura and rush quit before that disaster happen. Poor normal people got burn to death in that restaurant. By looking at the next episode preview, will we able to see Goujo eyes? Can't wait for the next episode. |
 |
| The way Yuuji just casually woke up was amazing. I wasn't expecting that from the restaurant scene at all. It makes me curious about what Gojou is going to do against that prism. The pact scenes have me intrigued as well. I can't wait to see Gojou fight lmao |

Atlos said: At 10:48 you can see this scene where Fushigoro's mouth isn't moving (even though he is speaking) but when you go to a closer upshot you can see it is so the just didn't animate his mouth moving. Weird choice to show that if they weren't going to animate it, I think it is just an animation error that will hopefully be fixed when bd's come out  and then  It's not a error. Is very common the character design not have details in their faces when they were from a long distance to animate or different focus/perspective. Sometimes the visual concept of the scene is maybe a dialog or narrative. Other cases can be the symbolism in the scenerios like My hero Academia in the recent arc (manga), hunter x Hunter with the characters feeling's, actions pensaments or representations. well ... All anime's have this. |
LOL that pact that he made with sukuna sure is intriguing. can't wait to see how it plays out. those cursed dolls are hilarious. lolollll training his cursed energy through watching movies, what a training, itadori sure is lucky x) also can't wait for the fight next episode, sensei is too hype! |
 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 |

 _______I like rocks__  |
| Damn, that restaurant scene was brutal. Pretty good so far, just not digging the comedy. |
| I love the relationship between Itadori and Sukuna. Itadori was brave enough to fight Sukuna own his own in Sukuna's domain. So Itadori doesn't remember about his contract with Sukuna and that means Sukuna might change the conditions in their contract for his own good cause let be honest, Sukuna doesn't like being controls by Itadori. |
| Defeated by Sukuna in an instant. lol Yuuji woked up like nothing happened, and he's naked. And he's training is so funny. lmao. WTF?! That Curse burned all the people in the restaurant, the giys is so lucky to be a window. And that Curse is equivalent to 8 Sukuna fingers! He must be really strong! But, is he strong enough to defeat Gojou-sensei?! He's gonna remove his mask next episode! I'm so excited!  |

Ilemina said: I am anime only fan. Pretty good episode,it's a build up EP for upcoming fight and some Nice Character development.Btw hat restaurant "bonfire" was bit unexpected, Got "Fire Fore" Flashbacks.Overall I loved. I am excited to see them "Gojou Eyes". I'm sure there is some kind of power or something behind that blindfold :!? Edit - I wanted to ask about that random restaurant waiter , what's up with him ? I think He could see them that' s why he ran right ? I mean how He felt the presence, have never felt like you are being watched or etc well it's like this, he felt danger it's not that complicated he himself said I feel like if I go by that table I'd die it's instincts |
 |
| So Yuuji get's revived, because of a contract he can't remember. Our friends get training to get ready for the competetion. Gojou is going to fight a high class curse! Really love the show so far! |
 |
| The fire scene was shocking and disturbing with how abruptly it transitioned from humor to horror. I wanted to see the movie Satoru suggested to Yuuji. Did anyone else notice when the movie was in the background and it was paused for 3-5 seconds while Yuuji delivered dialogue? Lazy animation or did Yuuji pause the movie right after getting punched? I am worried about Satoru in the next episode. He seems like the right kind of character to get killed off. |
| Shoot first, think never. |

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. |
|
| What an eventful episode! The way that Itadori just came back from the dead like it was nothing is hilarious XD the doctor being more disappointed that she could not examine him was more hilarious though lol Hilarious overall and good progress of events, including follow-up on Sukuna's interest on Fushiguro, Fushiguro's discovery of some kind of jujutsu (?) he can use as well as that scene with the curses who wants to kill/seal Gojou. I expected brutality but I totally didn't expect that they'll burn civilians alive. Really great episode, 5/5! |
   |
Was a very fun episode!! Almost everyone got some development on the story and although not perfect, lots of memes in this one like the guy quitting his job right before the restaurant fired up (haha) and the cringy movie training lmaoo; Yuuji be watching the rest of Fall 2020 Seasonal Anime cause Sensee said so xd |
