| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Well, Mahito 100% deserved that punch in the face. The way he manipulated Junpei and then having him take "revenge"....what a freak. Poor Junpei, got manipulated and killed. I was shocked the first time when it happened since they made him into an important character for this arc but it goes to show how cruel Mahito really is. |
 |
| Gojou with glasses is back! Damn, poor Junpei, he was turned into a curse by Mahito. Glad to see Yuji fighting Mahito in his own strength, I mean without swapping bodies with Sukuna. |
 |
| The Jujutsu battle between Yuuji and Junpei, truly is fascinating. The stark contrast between right or wrong, no one answer is definite, but reconciliation can bring Yuuji's point across to Junpei and give him a new lease of life... ...that is, until Mahito personally enters the scene, TOTALLY obliterating Yuuji unguarded, and mutating Junpei with Idle Transfiguration. Even with Sukuna's contract, not everything is doable in the world of "Curses" to save a human's life. BUT, THE COMEBACK! Rather than being just a regular host, being the contour of the soul of killing (not exorcising) murderous intent overflowing, and with the power to defeat the natural enemy Mahito then and there. Even with such extensive power, trying to activate Sukuna from Yuuji's inner body WAS A TERRIBLE MISTAKE, and Yuuji maintaining his composure is already commendable (without utilizing Sukuna). Thankfully, Nanami arrives just in time to stop the massacre, and immediately figures out Mahito's game towards Yuuji. Now it isn't just a 1 vs. 1 battle, but teacher and student vs. a Curse! Strong episode with all the sakuga overflowing goodness! |
 |
| What an episode. Sukuna and Mahito laughing was crazy xD Junpei made a big mistake but I can't really blame him. He was inexperienced, naive, vulnerable, desperate and Mahito offered him sugar. Don't want to know want went through his head during his last moments. His life was already shit, he lost his mom, got played, then right after Itadori offered him a genuine helping hand he got fucked up by the person he trusted. Very tragic ending. Even worse when one consinders that Junpei and all people related to him were merely toyed with to get to Itadori. Of course it's also in Mahito's vile nature and he embodies the hatred of humans towards humans well. Action was nice as usual, but not quite as intense as what went down between the characters. Got me pretty emotional more so than while reading the manga. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Didnt watch the episode yet but read the manga thus i have high expectations for the next 2 episodes. Im hoping that there will be jumpcuts in the fights instead of relying on none which just looks odd especially when the background is moving like https://twitter.com/Spytrue/status/1334903286265237504 |

| Noooo Junpei!! I knew this episode was going to have a tragic scene. Mahito deserves to die 100% and Itadori somehow managed to move despite being filled with holes. Also Nanami in for the save that part was amazing. |
 |
| Nah this episode was just 24 minutes of fire. Idk what it is about MAPPA, but they just built different. Bringing so many of my fave panels to life and making them even better than the source material. Been a while since I read this chapter, seeing Junpei die again and Sukuna refuse to help.. opened some wounds for sure. But this is where JJK really gets going and the hype that the anime gets becomes warranted |
 |
| Poor Junpei, like many other naive brats like him in other anime's he also got manipulated and killed. |
 |
| Really good episode, and sad. Also the tension was great throughout, those OSTs were clean too. |
This episode ended way too quickly.  |
| Well it felt like i was watching a movie. By far the best produced episode so far. Episode 7 doesn't hold a candle to that. |
| RIP Junpei. It was sad to see him go. That Mahito bastard needs to get exorcised immediately. Anyway, the episode was really great. I loved the part Sukuna. He doesn't give a shit. XD |
 |
| Absolutely incredible episode. Action packed, intense, dramatic and emotional. Couldn't even believe it when the credits started playing. FMmatron said: What an episode.

Got me pretty emotional more so than while reading the manga. Summed it up for me as well, when Junpei said that people have no hearts cause he didn't want to believe that those people with hearts cursed his family made me really emotional. He was just an innocent bystander whose crappy life was made even worse by circumstances beyond his control. He wasn't even allowed to reach out and grab the one helping hand he was offered. A truly tragic tale with an even more tragic ending for a person who deserved so much better. T.T Action sequences were crazy, Sukuna and Mahito laughing was just manical. Those shots of a rage built Yuuji were absolutely insane. Huge props to MAPPA for the production. Sukuna telling Mahito to know his place was menacing as hell. Nanmin showed up at the last moment to save Yuuji from getting his face blistered, can't wait to see how this tag team is going to work out. |
 |
| Even Mahito knows when to be scared, especially when it comes to Sukuna! |
| In my opinion the ost killed all the atmosphere of how the scene was portrayed in the manga but whatever.. |

Yeah, Sukuna still in a league of his own when it comes to being menacing. Already looking forward to when he shows what he got, even tho it will take a while for that. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| anyone know why itadori wasn't really affected by all the holes in him? just wondering if there's some kind of reason he isn't taking that much damage |
 |
| I love the scene where we see from Junpei's point of view and the scene blurred as his tears fell down. Great directing. Also love the part where Mahito got his stupid mug smashed multiple times. I can literally feel the impact. I flinched but it was satisfying to see. Knowing MAPPA, I'm expecting them to take Junpei out of the picnic scene in the OP of next episode. Since they're already adding characters in as they're introduced, it wouldn't be weird for them to remove characters as well. PS: If you didn't understand the Juju Stroll, you'll understand it once you see next episode...  Curious how he's been calling Yuji "Itadori" ever since he first met him, yet here in the final moments before his death, he called him "Yuji"? Manga readers you know what im implying here 😈 Mod Edit: Multiple screenshots in spoiler-tag. |

| Really like what they have been doing with Junpei. He is growing to be quite an intersesting character, really excited to see more of him if he turns into a human again. the voice acting in this episode is absolutely incredible. It really gave an extra layer of awesomeness to everything that was going on. Very impressive, great episode! |

| Junpei's pent up hatred of others ended up being the perfect fuel for Mahito to use. The jellyfish though sure was interesting. Cute but utterly lethal to humans. But man though i guessed it was coming Mahito just transforming Junpei into a cursed being sure was sad. Especially as Itadori was that close to convincing him. The twin strikes from Sukuna and Mahito really served to create quite the sense of despair within Itadori and in doing so igniting the sense of rage within him. That fight between the two sure was a brutal affair. While its nice to see Nanami get here in time to save Itadori given that his attacks won't work on Mahito Itadori will still be the main strength in the fight. But looking forward to seeing how this fight progresses though. Overall a solid ep that while hard hitting and bloody also made great use of emotions in the form of Itadori's attempt to save Junpei. |

| This episide...this is it right folks. This is the best episode of this anime so far. This was so good directing and pacing was good. Although, what was the meaning behind Sukuna and Mahito's quick chat? Is there some sort of class system with the curses? Anyways, excited for the next episode Man, makes me want to see how MAPPA will do CSM |
| Hot dang, this episode gives me goosebump the whole episode. The dialogues, the heart to heart expression, the death, and the revenge fight scene, all of these are executed so flawlessly. Insanely good animation and direction from Mappa yet again too. This is how an anime should be adapted. It is so good. Mappa outdone themselves again. Proves that with good source material, Mappa's production can turn an anime into something special. (With trash material like God of High School, however, even Mappa production can't save it) I bump my score to a 9 despite initially I gave it a 7 in episode 1. It takes Demon Slayer 19 episodes to become good, while this anime only takes 12. (mostly because Demon Slayer has too much fillers in between 12~18) I won't even complain if the anime end at episode 13 right now for a 1st season since it's a good point of ending, but we're getting 24 episodes for this feast. Bravo! |

| Really good adaptation of this arc by MAPPA. I disliked it in the manga but found it a lot more interesting in its animated form. Mahito is a legit psychopath and is op as hell, but his fights are always a joy to look at. We’re finally getting to the most interesting part of season 1 (goodwill event). |
 |
| There's so much death this week, goddamn. I was really hoping we would get to see Junpei as a member of the group next arc, guess not. He had so much potential, it's such a shame Mahito got to him first. |
 |
| best epsiode !! Yuuji was so great in this ep. Sukuna's scene is so cool , I love his personality and Now with Nanami and Yuuji gonna fight together I can't wait to next ep. Rip Junpei I never thought he will die !!! I tho. he will be join Jujutsu High School and be one of the team :( |

| RIP Junpei and damn Sukuna is a boss  |

| Damn, I really thought they were gonna make Yuuji and Junpei fight, come to some reconciliation and then have Junpei join Jujutsu Tech. Did not expect that with all the character development he got. Sukuna is still a badass. This feels like Gilgamesh all over again <3 |

| That Yuuji headbutt part was legendary xD pretty good animation for the fight scenes as always |
 |
| Damn amazing episode, shit was intense as fuck and the OST was godly. The part just before Yuuji punches the loser is especially strong because it had me replaying the scene for like 5 minutes. Plus the sakuga *_* and people try to say Mappa's a mediocre studio lmfao sure buddy, go and watch One Piece loser |
| This anime shit is addictive |
| Can't wait to see Mahito get his. |
| Even if Sukuna could've done some shit, he "emphatically" refused But to be fair, the opening features Junpei chilling with the squad, it gave false hopes xD Then again, if you look further, there's the blurry fall out transition to Itadori facing Sukuna. Nice foreshadowing or maybe I'm interpreting too much into this. |

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Wow this was the crappiest Juju Stroll ever. Although the directing and animation were both amazing, the fight was just your typical shounen angery punchy boi mc battle. Mahito being a super uninteresting 1D villain doesn’t help either. Well, at least next episode we’ll see some Nanamin action and I’m sure it’ll be much better than this episode. Also, how come Yuuji doesn’t bleed at all after being pierced tens of times like that? I’m sure at least one of the many spikes pierced through his lungs but somehow he doesn’t have any problem breathing. Is there are cursed technique that stops bleeding or something? Please elaborate lol. Junpei was in the OP smiling in the school uniform so that makes me think that he isn’t dead. Either that or the studio was trolling by putting false spoilers lol and it’s definitely a possibility. I won’t look for spoilers in the comments. All in all a much generic yet entertaining episode, just like the rest of the anime so far. I miss Gojou and the other students. |
| If you read Eleceed you're automatically my friend. |
| I really thought they were setting up Yuuji and Junpei as a couple... Best episode yet. Nicely choreographed and emotional fight scene. We're finally at the point where all the setup is done so we can see the magic system at its best. Hopefully the show keeps this up for the next few fights (I'm a bit tired of the Gojo/Sukuna one sided beatdowns). |
 |
| This episode was unreal. MAPPA really out here creating the best shit in the anime scene rn. |
| Watashi wa a victim of cyberbullying. Everyday someone online calls me a "weeb" desu. Watashi won't stand for this. 26 percent of bullying victims are chosen due to their race or religion desu. I may look like a basic white boy, but deep down I am Nihongo desu. Watashi religion is anime. Anata wa bullying me because of my race and religion desu ka? Disgusting desu. Anata should be ashamed of yourself, racist pig. A baka gaijin like anata is probably jealous of my race and culture, cause Nippon is more sugoi than your shitty country desu. Watashi pity anata. You'll never be Nihongo like watashi. Educate yourself on nani a "weeb" is. |
| animation is insane and that fight was amazing hope sukuna teaches mahito a lesson |
 |
| I really enjoyed this episode, the fight scenes were crazy. I loved when they both started to laugh. It looks like the next episode is going to be even better, I’m looking forward to it. |
