| In this episode, we got to see the other side of these characters. Usually, they were serious all the time, but in this episode, they were having fun like a normal teenager. Miwa's reaction was so cute when she realised that her sword broke and she been sleeping the whole time when her friends were attacked by special grade curse. |
| Mild episode! but the Baseball was fun and lit! poor Todo got hit by the ball in his friggin' face cheeks! 5/5. |
 |
| Baseball was the deciding competition and Tokyo wins! |

| That was quite the effective security technique that they had in place for the storehouse. The revelation that the attack was simply a diversion while the true goal was to retrieve the fingers really shows how cunning the curses can be. Im surprised that Miwa was able to sleep through such a battle though. Funny how even though the event was cancelled it transformed into a baseball match between the two classes. The unique rules sure played havoc with Itadori's team though. Maki's intentional throw at Todo was amusing as was the universal agreement from both teams. Overall an excellent ep that combined excellent plot advancement and revelations with some harmless completion between the two classes in the form of the baseball game. |

| Did someone else notice the Akio Furukawa reference from Nobara during the baseball match ? |
 |
| Making the students play baseball is the most Gojo thing ever. The sudden pivot after the climax of last episode may feel underwhelming, but was still entertaining. 3 more episodes, what.  |
| This was undeniably the best episode so far, I came for the fighting but I'll stay because of the baseball. It was refreshing to see the characters interacting in such a casual and humorous setting without the usual tension, even Mai the mango muncher grew a bit on me (poor Miwa just can't have nice things, first the sword and now...). |
| Oh man what a great BASEBALL episode to cool down a bit after the intense hectic past few episodes, before getting back into business next week. Momo coming out of nowhere and catching the ball- best moment I almost died. Also, rip zebras |

| The stats were hilarious! My favorite was Panda's, "Wants to punch a zebra someday." |

| Nice Pitch! xD After the last few episodes it was nice to have a lighter episode and to calm things down a bit. Before leading into a big finale no doubt. |

YuyoGzm said: Is this relevant to the series progress/story? (Im not reading this manga) If not, still a Filler... Did you even watch the episode? We learned about the true intentions of the cursed spirit raid, and that they obtained all the fingers. We learned there were some casualties, as well as the winner of the Tokyo-Kyoto exchange event. How much more do you need? Or are you just a shounen-head? |
|
| Dang I'm caught up it was fun binge watching this, nice baseball episode to tie up the last arc. Nice pitch! lol poor Todo they did him dirty. |

How much more do you need? Or are you just a shounen-head? Yeah that took like 2 minutes... the rest was just baseball and i liked it... But its sad that the baseball match was the best part of the entire episode, and in the end, that is just irrelevant in the series... "Winner of Event"... If that win, would determine the future of the series, ok i take it, but if not.. we get to the same again... the extras, were better than the main story, something that shouldnt be... |
YuyoGzm said: Is this relevant to the series progress/story? (Im not reading this manga) If not, still a Filler... If you mean the baseball game, yes it will be brought out later in the next 2 episodes and there was a small hint already |

Hmm sounds like a non issue, of course baseball match doesn't mean much in the end. It's like saying KnY sucks because your prefer slice of life moments between Tanjirou and his friends than their fights against lower/upper moon. KnY slice of life moments were Good, but the main story was obviously much better... JK isnt like that in this moment.. slice of life moments are beating the main story, something that shouldnt be. PS: Also, KnY slice moments were about seconds, not minutes or entire episodes like JK, again something that shouldnt be in this type of anime. |

PS: Also, KnY slice moments were about seconds, not minutes or entire episodes like JK, again something that shouldnt be in this type of anime. First you said you enjoyed the baseball match more than the whole series. Now you said that JJK's slice of life moments shouldn't take the entire episode since its not relevant to the main story.. If none of the fights or SoL moments interest you, then maybe this series isn't just for you. However there'll be plenty of fights and suffering down the line while SoL moments like this, are less likely to happen. Right and Wrong... Right: i like JJK SoL moments like this Episode... (i love Slice of Life series) Right: Indeed, SoL moments shouldnt take entire episodes...... this is not a Slice of Life series. (obviously) Wrong: Never said, i didnt enjoyed SoL moments.. neither the Fights... But in this point, "in my opinion"... this Episode has been the more enjoyable one, beating the fights...... saddly. JJK should be remembered by its fights and main story/ending, and not by the SoL moments/episodes... Also, a Good series, doesnt need to remove SoL moments completely. (2-3mins is enough, 5mins max) "Suffering" sounds good... |
| The whole episode was like a Juju stroll |
| Man, listen to them tear into me. Good thing I'm used to it. |
| I want to punch a zebra someday! |

| I enjoyed this as much as I do like recap episodes in the middle of the season. Waste of time after the first 2 minutes, bad comedy. Get into the main plot again please. Sukuna apparently doesnt even exist anymore. |
| Is it just me or this episode reminds me of code geass? aimless fillers. |
 |
| The thing about pitching machines....they throw the same each time. Dumb move. |
 |
| Gojou is so handsome wearing casual clothes!! for the first time JJK is funny, I laugh at their baseball episode especially when Todou got hit lol Poor Todou. |
| Proverbs 4:23 Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it. |
| Petition to make this a full-time baseball anime! |
 |
| That was a fun, relaxing episode. I liked it. |
"At some point, I stopped hoping." |
| Damn this is getting anooying. Hanami lived and was also close to death, like Mahito was 8 episodes ago. It just feels annoying to have good characters die while the bad ones somehow escaping just so they can die later while killing an important character because that's what I feel like it will happen. Well this baseball episode was unpredictable af. I still can't understand how to play this sport but that Yuuji and Toudou scene was great. |
Come on man,where is that Noragami season 3 masterpiece.We want it, Bones! |
| Well, they clearly didn't put the same budget into Baseball as they did for the fights, and honestly I'm crushed... jkjk. "Won the middle school nationals with Itadori. Itradori denies this." Is one of the best one liners this season. |
 |
| It's interesting, I find Baseball to be one of the most boring sports to watch (as someone who finds all sports pretty boring fwiw) but Baseball episodes in anime/cartoons tend to be some of the best episodes out there. This is no exception, this was a lot of fun. The info cards were great, specifically Todo's and Panda's, and the scene with Todo/Itadori where Maki intentionally hits him the face with everyone saying "Nice Pitch" was hilarious. It wasn't just comedy, it seems like they'll be letting go of the internal attempts to assassinate Itadori and Kamo managed to change his view on Itadori as well (though this also lead into one of the better gags). But I also just like the decision to focus on something lighter and fun for the whole cast. We got introduced to a lot of new characters, and some that have been floating around like Mai got more spotlight on them, but they were placed in antagonistic roles despite being functionally allies, so ending the competition with something lighter than the typical JJK direction solidifies that nicely. |
| That scene at the beggining where the 3 main characters talk each other is something much more efficient to show charisma than what they did on the baseball game. They didn't try to go over the top, just showed a casual conversation that you could develop anything you wanted there. Even the cheesy payoff with the random buff guy was a bit funny. But once the episode embraced the childish humor, it failed to be interesting. |
 |
| Baseball part was dreadfully boring. |
 |
| Not sure how I missed Mai and Miwa's joke. Great continuity |
| Lmao baseball looked fun with this lot! |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| Nice pitch! haha, great moment |
| 10/10 comedy. Todo is rapidly becoming one of my favorite characters. I still get the niggling sensation the Jujutsu higher command is corrupt and we're going to get a "but wait, we're the real villains!" twist later on. Gojo's consistent suspicion casts far too much light on them. |
