| This episode as a whole is simply one of the reasons why I have so much admiration for Maki. |

| @LunaBright The guy's exaggerating af The series had a normal ending, but there could have been two more chapters. Due to constant breaks and Gege's health, a lot of chapters were lost anyway. Nowadays, every shounen ending is hated by manga fans, and then it turns out that when it's anime, everyone wonders why it was hated. First SNK, then MHA, Bleach is turning around... so it's better to form your own opinion. But I agree that something really went wrong with Oshi no Ko, lol. |
| I didn't know that I would enjoy this. Goosebumps. |

I really liked the episode, but I have to say that I didn’t like the animations in some parts. Especially during the black-and-white fight, the characters often looked very poorly drawn to me.
For me the animation in episode 2 was a a lot better.

Fights felt to quick and, I thought the reflection of Toji was badly made and didnt hold enough value like it did in the manga.
| @Tigerbread217 not everything is gonna be 1:1 just stick with the manga atp |
| Can someone remind or explain to me what "disappearance reaction" means? Great action episode and I love Maki but I agree with a couple others here in that I felt very little investment in what was happening. I know the clan people were being spiteful assholes and I didn't expect them to all get wiped out like that so it was a little surprising but not all that satisfying. Mai's death/sacrifice was...fine, I guess? Did she create the sword? I get how the twin thing works now that I read the explanation here in the comments but it was pretty poorly executed in the episode imo. Same with the comparison to Toji and character motivations overall. She killed the people who attacked her but why did she kill her mother? It seemed more implied that she was trying to stop her because she knew her dad was waiting there. I know she's a complete powerhouse now and so obviously she would demolish the rest of the clan but it would've been nice to see more buildup or have her sweat a little bit, maybe not used to new power or something like that. Also I don't dislike esoteric and symbolic direction but there was just a little too much back and forth of it in this episode for my liking; the narrator explains some things and others get symbolic exposition instead and the contrast is just a little jarring. |

| genuinely one of the most beautiful episodes of anime ive seen. i cried and i cheered maki on at the same time shes such a well written character im glad the adaptation is doing her the justice she deserves |
| This was unreal omg |

@SoulReaper01_ i knew that i just felt like they shouldve put more weight into the fact that maki has become the same as toji vs js a outline of him for a few frames
| @Tigerbread217 Nah, it has a more realistic feel to it. It perfectly captures Ogi’s refusal to acknowledge his own daughter, imagining Toji standing IN Maki’s place (instead of side by side). |
| Amazing fight and an amazing episode, honestly they spent budget well and it's even better than it was in the manga (especially considering the first ver. of the chapter wasn't even finished with sketch drawings and stuff). RIP Naoya Zenin. Unlike Shinji Mato, I liked to hate this guy PLUS he could actually throw hands instead of covering behind his servants. |
| Good episode in general. The OST, though, IMO, was bad. |
| Had an eyegasm watching ep 4 |
 |
| i like how maki looks in the anime compared to the manga but disliked how they did the toji comparison panel and built up to the naoya punch was so sick, just for the freeze frame after the punch to ruin it. that was so odd. they should've left you feel the impact of the punch. it's funny how that naoya bum refers to toji and gojo so respectfully but overall, overhyped episode. |
