In it's defense, it's shown clearly through a flashback that this special grade hasn't reached it's full potential, it only just learned how to truly enjoy battle. Todou could be strong enough to recognize that as well. It all makes sense in the end, so far.


Not my point in the slightest. The amount of time the show has thrown special grade at us and how frivolous a lot of the characters have been when encountering them just make it meaningless. The scale is basically "special grade" and things that literally couldn't matter in the slightest as far as I'm concerned.

I'm sorry man but that is just bs, you clearly don't understand the show. Try and watch episodes at least 2 times maybe you will get it. You talking about standing and talking in this fight, Hanami literally said she can't be careless around Toudo that's why she doesn't really go crazy right out the gate and takes it slow, she feels Toudo is very strong.

To be fair the term "special grade" is purposefully over encompassing.
The Cursed Womb from episode 4 was Special grade and 2 finger Sukuna who wrecked him was Special grade.
20 finger Sukuna will be the same.
Gojo said it himself in episode 8 that the new generation(Todo and Yuji) won't be limited to special grade. They'll go beyond.

This episode...IT'S PURE FIRE, right on top and par with Kimetsu no Yaiba's Episode 19 on all fronts.

The Tokyo and Kyoto school have merged against Mahito and his cursed spirits, especially Hanami whose powers are insane, with Megumi and Maki having a hard time fighting...and it's off to BESTO FRIENDOS Yuuji and Toudou to deal with it!

No wonder the OP has literally sprinkled and saved the best scenes for Yuuji and Toudou's Black Flash against Hanami. Toudou with the face-slapping motivation, as funny as that looks, it serves a purpose for the bond between best friends.

The choreographical action animation work was GODLIKE, I'm senselessly drooling from all that sakuga.

Expecting a lot out of the Best Friends Brothers fight!

The Juju Stroll of dissecting Gojou-sensei if he was a hanger coat rack....what taste though.

Itadori and Toudou's bromance is so wholesome and fun to watch lol.

Hype fights this week, and it looks like that will only continue heading into the next episode.
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

IDK what's about episodes #19 that always becomes a visual delight, the animation, the fight, the feelings that this episode transmits are out of this world.
A great coincidence that just when this episode came out JJK was named anime of the year, totally deserved.

Wow, Itadori and Toudou vs Hanami is definitely top 3 parts of this anime, extremely beautiful animation and choreography.

that teamwork between Maki and Megumi was definitely a sight to behold aswell, they probably have previous experience working together if they're that well synchronized!

Overall another beautiful, enjoyable episode.

Despite being excellently animated, there's just something about this show that feels off. I guess the best way I can describe it is that it feels very uncompelling.

Usually episodes like these can get you really amped up and excited, but I find myself feeling very lethargic about the whole thing.

whats with all these shounens always having wild 19th episodes no adays lol,with however with how overstated people say that "episode felt like 5 mins" it really did due to how action focused this was.


super bummed Fushiguro had to stop due to the curse in him and we gotta let the MC come take the usual spot light at least best friendo is also tag teaming with him

What an incredible episode! Jujutsu strikes again!
I've never felt this satisfied as i got in this episode when Yuuji and Toudou arrived, and their whole bromance is just insanely crazily good xD That ending and preview definitely hyped me even more for the next episode! Go go brother squad ahah

On the other hand, Maki and Megumi fought well but didn't stand a chance.

The amount of hype I got from this episode is insane. Easily a 10/10 episode.

The animation was breathtaking for the whole entire episode and the soundtracks were very good. I liked that small flashback with Mahito and Hanami cause I thought it added more towards Hanami instead of just being a forgettable antagonist.

I loved it. What an amazing episode and one of the best looking ones I've seen in a while.

As expected, animation and choreography during the fights were fantastic. Only wish there weren't so many jarring pauses between each exchange of blows. Hanami being like "I hate humans because they destroy nature but I will kindly wait for these kids to stop talking so we can fight."

By the way, I wonder when Megumi will stop being a punching bag. Well, at least his synchronization with Maki during their fight was pretty cool to see.

LOVE the animation this episode, it's amazing, i loved the blast away, the maki/megumi tag team, itadori's triple kick and black flash, followed by that amazing sequence for hanami vs itadori/todou!

hope the animation keeps being great next episode


one thing i didn't like that much from this episode though is that there are times when i feel like the characters should be moving around, not just standing there...

It was worth noting that lots of freelance animators that were responsible for Black Clover's top-notch episodes have contributed to this episode's production, and man, it sent my already sky-high expectations to the stratosphere!!!

BLACK FLASH IS HERE BABY AND IT IS GORGEOUS!!!


Call me crazy, but for me this episode is on par with Demon Slayer's episode 19, in terms of animation, story, pacing and music-wise.

Well in my opinion Demon slayers episode 19 is something that we have never seen before, not only in terms of visual and sound but also the emotions that played out in that episode.
I do liked the Jujutsu kaisen episode and it was nuce animation, but u didn't feel as much emotional stakes in this episode (thats subjective ofcourse). And about music it was okayish but Demon slayer had the epic music selection and transitions along with music it was near perfection.

I didnt knew someone share my feelings. Everyone is so much hyped giving it 10/10 or comparing it with Demon slayer ep 19 which only has similarity in terms of no.
Jujutsu kaisen was surprise hit for me as I didn't even knew it existed before it aired and i was full onboard but this student exchange is something i was bored right when they mentioned its going to happen. Its same as chunin exam of naruto exactly following same tropes. But here i don't feel any emotional stakes its just some dude fighting and i dont expect any long lasting consequences after this arc is over. Its just character introduction arc thats what we have been seeing past these weeks.
Though animation was very good and i praise the studio but plot wise its okay. I will survive and hope to see it evolve something interesting for change.

Its because lack of emotional weight or urgency.
This arc has mainly been about character introduction, for both sorcerer and now curses.
Its not the fight that will have permanent consequences thats how i feel. I am anime only so can only go by what information was shown in anime.

crazy episode all round, saw some sick duos fight it out with Hinami who seems like an even stronger foe than i originally thought. Lots of new moves from different people, as well as some absolutely stunning visuals once again.

Saw a lot more of Inumaki's cursed speech ability, which definitely has to be the most interesting one for me. It sounds like an incredibly strong move in certain situations, but also has it's massive drawbacks to the user. Maki and Fushiguro vs Hinami was a great fight to see, they can synergies well with their moves and attacks, Fushiguro shows off a few more moves like combination of his familiars and actually being able to hold an arsenal of weaponry in his shadow. Really interested to know to if there are limits to what/ how much he can store in his shadow, like we talking Matrix weapons room limits or nah? However, even for someone as skilled as Maki, Hinami slapped hard, did both of them pretty dirty especially Fushiguro.

Now, by far my favourite duo, they honestly just did Itadori and Todo good. From their almost unshakable brotherly bond they've seem to of accumulated in no less then hours, to their cracked english, these two swept the episode. Todo being a good friend/ teacher, teaching Itadori how to use Black flash, which all in all was a pretty cool move and interesting concept, was great to see. Then that one what 30 second scene of them duking it out, had such fluid animation that i had to rewatch it to make sure i wasn't tripping.

Super thrilled for next episode, Hinami feels cracked enough, but seems to have found there thrill for the fight. Ngl i verbally screamed when right after Todo said he was gonna release his true technique they went to the ED, feelsbadman.

Toge went hard this episode! Risking his throat and his life.
Maki came to help but it is not enough.

Todo and Yuji are here!
Black Flash!! But still check out the manga panel of Black Flash

I'm not sure which translation you all watched, but this was the viz translation for the little talk between Mahito and Hanami oof, I remembered being baffled reading this, lol

Todo's technique next episode? Well, we have already actually seen it...

We should get more context in the next 1-2 episode. Basically he's just tasked to be a distraction, not to kill.

These cursed spirits' objective was hinted in episode 14. They are playing a long con.

wait wasn't Inumaki's ability downside is that whatever he says gets reflected back to him? so why didn't he also get shot back lol

It doesn't get reflected back to him, he just gets massive feedback when using powerful commands against high grades.

minfairys said:
And also can you believe that itadori and todo went from strangers to best friends to brothers in one day? i laughed out loud when itadori called todo "bestfriend" and then they both called each others brothers xD.

That was hilarious. Toudou is such a bro he made yuji subconsciously accept him as a bro to the point of not even denying the fact that they were on a honeymoon lmao todo's broness is like a drug its effect is so strong u only need one contact to fall victim to it XD
