| What can i say exept: nice! |

| MAPPA's poor employees practically doing magic in record time. Spectacular episode even though I couldn't follow half of what was happening during that Sukuna vs. Mahoraga fight. Man, and to think this episode was unfinished... Also Nanami pls, for the love of God, leave Shibuya 😢 Just look at what they've done to you. You are a freaking Batman villain now 😭 |

It's cool that everyone loved the episode, but I can't help but feel disappointed more people aren't upset with the fact that it could've been SO MUCH BETTER had MAPPA given their staff more time.
They did what they could but not even the greatest in the industry can completely cover up the fact that the episode had direction but was unpolished in many areas. This one felt like the animators' last stand.

| This just made me appreciate the animators and staff more, with how great of a job they've done given the messed up schedule and whatnot. Also can't help but wonder how the episode would've turned out had they been given an appropriate schedule just like you said. Sadly I feel like this is going to be happening a lot for the rest of the season xd |

| That has to be probably one of the most hardcore episode of a show i've watched in a while. Megumi's last words were probably the hardest lines this episodes besides the action, "I'll be dying first, give it your best." before Mahoraga cleared him was cold as shit. The build up toMahoraga's appearance as well was fucking great, previously we aren't really given the big picture of what Megumi's curse technique are beside being able to summon shadows, store weapons in his shadows and his incomplete domain, so this build up that Megumi was pulling some funny shit and reading his monologue that was hyping that Megumi was actually summoning something massive, to then slowly learn it's probably the equivalent to him summoning a MOAB on himself was metal. Sukuna Vs Mahoraga fight was fucking crazy, i've probably said this about a few of the fights this season but this fight is probably my favourite this season. I'll have to rewatch it a few times to fully appreciate it but off the top of my head, the choreography was spectacular, camera work was amazing, animation was really good to really fucking well done in scenes along with the visual effects. The OST also fucking slapped hard this fight, OST this season has been pretty fire but this fight felt like the icing on the cake. Sukuna's Domain expansion looked and felt fucking terrifying, along with the narrator explaining how it was close to divinity and how fucked it was. Watching Sukuna for the first time go all out from the start to finish with his range of techniques and movement was interesting. And that was at 15 fingers as well, i'm fucking hyped as shit to know what a full 20 will unleash. Mahoraga was metal as shit, the build up to how it worked and why it was deemed the final shadow and hadn't been subjugated before was great. Watching it face tank all of Sukuna's attacks and even stride through his Domain's guaranteed hit had me fucking stunned as i slowly realised the extent of what it was. Megumi's Ten Shadow technique seems really really interesting mechanically, seems he has to tame each shadow and they get increasingly difficult with each tier, Mahoraga being the final one with no one being able to tame it. Megumi knows at this stage can't win against it but the technique allows him to summon Mahoraga as many times as possible, so as a literal last resort / dead mans switch / suicidal act he summons Mahoraga to eviscerate both himself and the opponent. Sukuna keeping Megumi alive and finding interest in him is also an interesting plot point that i'm hyped to learn more about. |
 "yabe." |
| Ngl I was just a passenger until towards the end when Itadori came back. That's so brutal for him to just see the absolute mess that Sukuna caused. Idk man. Definitely not my favorite episode but I can see why people would say it's the best so far. And ofc Nanami is alive like I said he would be. |

| Wth did I just watch. MAPPA just dropped one of its best episodes yet that would allow JJK to go in history. The visuals and effects were top tier, from the start of Sukuna’s fight till the end when Itadori is trying to grasp wth did Sukuna do while he was controlling his body. Actual peak. |
| cool fight 90% of the time i had no idea what was going on |

Great episode but Malevolent Shrine kind of stole the episode for me. That said, playing Special Z at the end was a bad choice imo. Playing the scene in silence would have been more impactful.

| at the ending- if I'm being honest, that was the most convincing realistic vomit voice acting I think I've ever heard in any media. That was blood curdling. |

@DrkSeid69 Who cares what the lyrics are about and what the song represents? It doesn't fit with what's happening on the screen whatsoever and clashes with the emotions were supposed to feel for Itadori.
This is almost on the same tier as HxH (2011) blasting the go-happy preview song a millisecond after the end of episode 135.

| @KneelBeforeMe I feel like this view is symptomatic of not being native Japanese speakers. Hollywood does this all the time. You'll see hyper violent, depressing, or shocking scenes, paired with music that directly contradicts the tone in an ironic way. A shootout where people are dying left & right? Insert cheery 80's pop song. See a character coming to grips with emotional trauma or depression? 90's pop punk ballad. How about a terrifying monster lurking in the house? Sweet & soft lullaby playing in the background. None of this would stand out to native English speakers. But people reading translations of Japanese songs being played over a subbed episode... Pretty sure we'd be unable to grasp the irony. |

| I have no words....just how many characters did we just lose in that massacre? How many civilians? I thought there would be casualties but not this....not this. Sukuna won, everyone else lost. |

| there's only one reason to watch this over rated turd and they cant even make it right. |
 MAL score and most user-based rating system are all joke, Imagine trusting plebs and hivemind. Find users who have good sense and rating and use them as a reference. Check my guide to rate Your taste is trash. Cope, seethe, mald |
| What an epic battle and animation. And Sukuna's literally obsessed with Fushiguro at this point. Also I do understand Yuuji's frustration with those who died by Sukuna's hands, but Fushiguro might be dead if Sukuna weren't there...? Nanamin on the other hand is always full of swag |

| I thought it's just me LOL |
| Lets not normalize this shitty, unfinished animation, JJK was only one of the most promissing anime ever because they showed the resolve to do everything right and not skimp on anything. The manga is great and we're at a climax, so ofcourse this episode's plot is freaking awesome! But i was honestly cringing out at times from the animation, looking like filler naruto on the last 100 epis.This is JJK. This wasn't suposed to be this. This wasn't suposed to be another average anime. So don't rate it as such. |

| Another amazing episode! It's a masterpiece in terms of execution! The animation is of EXCEPTIONAL quality! |
| The scale of this episode was actually amazing and the fact that it was only 30% of what was intended is astonishing. Fuck MAPPA and great job to the animators ♥♥ |
