| I found this arc to be kinda dull so far so I didn't really feel much when Junpei died and Yuuji got angry and all. But the fight was good so that was fun to watch. |
After Watching this Episord, I am Very Sad. Also I am feeling Very sorry for Yujii. His poor friend just brain wasted by the evil. But Animation of this Episord was amazing . |

Tho I would say that people would have enjoyed tower of god more if they didn't compare it to one piece all the time. The hype was based on nothing concrete and here we are now, for AOT it's different, it only needs to be adapted properly and it will be amazing. So yeah I would say that the best is to have realistic expectations.Thats the case with everything,have low expectations and anything good will blow you off.Have high expectations(which is the case with some anime currently airing),and you try to nitpick in everything even though that thing is great You are absolutely right.The first arc of toG was supposed to be generic and that's what anime tried to deliver but people ruined this show in the hype. |
| RIP Junpei, he was just starting to begin to rationalize too. Well, Itadori sure gave Mahito some good head(bumps). Let's see how they'll fight Mahito as a duo. |
 |
| poor junpei, I was very sad to see him die,it somehow reminded me of Fullmetal alchemist, which from a fun and casual scene changes to a sad and dark twist,what a good episode it was! |

| I really liked Junpei. He had a kind heart and was just going through a lot of shit. Hoping they can bring him back someway... As far as the right it was epic and didn't disappoint. |

Nik03178 said: Alpha_Druid said: JJK again with a mediocre episode. Yuji was spouting some pseudo intellectual bullshit there. Even though his character is not strong enough/not developed at all to support his views that he was spouting. Mahito is still the bland, 1D villain. It's ironic how the only relatively good character was a minor one i.e Junpei. But even his death didn't make me flinch so I guess the author failed to develop him enough. The animation was inconsistent. The anatomy of characters were very wrong in places not unlike in GoHS. The direction was lacking fairly. Shots were framed weirdly. I had to go back and watch to make sense of the scenes a couple of times. The choreography of the fight is again appalling. The camera moves in weird ways making it somewhat difficult to follow the fight. This combined with the direction of the fight thoroughly ruin the fight. The plot armor and plot convenience shown here is also interesting. Yuji gets stabbed throughout his body and is just fine. No blood loss was even shown. He didn't fall dead even though he probably has many ruptured organs. And there is Nanami conveniently appearing to save Yuji. It's not all bad though. The animation on some scenes was good. The backgrounds are again, very nice and detailed. Junpei was also a good character, atleast until his demise. Damn some of you all got a lot of free time to watch the anime you hate so much lmao. Anyways another top tier episode of aoty 2020, jujutsu kaisen. I never said I hated it though? I like JJK but this recent arc has been uninteresting so far. They had some interesting ideas but the execution is severely lacking. Lack of proper execution and lack of character development to carry such relatively heavy themes of this arc is actively hurting it. |
 |
| Damn, what an episode! I do feel bad for that guy, and unfortunately, i doubt there is something that Yuuji can do. The whole Yuuji fight was so epic, the headbutt scene, holy shit! I love how Sukuna put that guy on his place xD I guess he expected that he wouldn't stand a chance against him. So Yuuji's hand can beat the crap out of him, that's great! Next episode promises to be very epic! Can't wait. |

Idk you dude but someone asked a question last page and your answer was "because this anime is trash." You give off hate vibes. Plus most of your complaints were addressed in the episode. Nanami, the bleeding, Yuji's organs. Your complaint about Pseudo bs from Yuji doesn't make sense at all though. |

What about Nanami plot convenience being addressed? Also, the last part, you won't get it. |

Well Itadori bleeds on the spikes and out his mouth. I noticed it when he was actively sliding up and down the spikes to head-butt Mahito.(which was awesome) If that isn't enough all I can say is wait till next episode. Nanami told us he was on the way in the first minute of the episode. When he left the sewers to Ino. So we knew he'd show up eventually. Dynamic entries are staple for anime. Do you dislike them? Can you not channel the Joker lol. If you elaborate on what you found pseudo-intellectual about Yuji's words I'm fairly certain I'll get it. It sounds interesting. |

So why is Yuji not crippled and why is he still standing after those grave injuries. Okay. Wha? Joker? Yuji was spouting some bs while fighting Junpei. Why does he think like that even though we haven't even established that it's his character in the first place. We know why Junpei was saying things he said because we saw him develop those feelings. The circumstances shaped him and affected his way of thinking. The same however cannot be said for Yuji. He hasn't had the proper or sufficient circumstances to shape his contrasting views to that of Junpei. His character is lacking. That's what I meant by him not having enough development. And that's why his babbling comes off as preachy. |

| Sukuna may be evil, but he's an evil with class. Know your place!! |
When someone asks me why I like anime, I'd say Just Because. |

Considering Junpei was advocating for mass-murder, I didn't consider Yuji's rejection of his philosophy "bullshit". Yuji didn't know about the bullying Junpei faced or his Mom's murder. All he knows is his new best friend's trying to murder people and is using pseudo-intellectual bullshit to justify himself. You're right that Yuji was intended to come off as preachy. It wasn't until Junpei breaks down crying that Yuji realizes how stupid and preachy the questions he's been asking must have been. He then apologizes and lets himself get hit. The Joker thing is a meme. |

Should've fleshed out the characters for me to take what they say seriously then. Maybe because the previous arcs were not as serious and we're thrust into this rather serious arc(still feels like a joke to me though) without proper buildup on Itadori and Nanami side. Build up as in building towards the themes of this arc. |

Yeah and anime-onlies,don't repeat what you got spoiled in this thread,so that other anime-onlies do not get spoiled.FFS,I opened this thread sorted by latest reply and first thing I see is you spoiling shit.I mean spoiler tags are made for a reason.If they don't use brain doesn't mean you should also not. |
| I was surprised that Jumpei dies in this episode because I thought he will be one of the most important characters in the series. Sukuna really toying around with Itadori. He gave a Kyuubi's vibe. I cant wait to see Idatori and Nanamin combo attack in the next episode. |
| Episode that has the value of being very engaging in the narration, another useful reason to see it, and if you have discussed with someone, this will at least be useful to dissipate a little the accumulated anger. The screenplay re-proposes arguments dear to the Shonen at the dialectal level and a lot of action in which the ultimate goal is to beat yourself up. The expectations placed in the next episode are many and of the highest narrative level. |

jerryjoonie said: Unwaveringriot said: I got a little confused here. Why didn't Sukuna accept Yuuji's offer? They already have a binding vow, so can a curse only have one binding vow in place? And what was Mahito trying to accomplish by touching Yuuji/Sukuna's soul? To bring Sukuna out and ask him about entering a binding vow? But Sukuna shot that down? Mahito tried to use his technique, Idle Transfiguration, on Yuuji, but didn't know that means he'd also touch Sukuna's soul (it's like Yuuji's and Sukuna's souls are merging). Sukuna is an arrogant King, fairly so, that's why he was annoyed by such an young and self-confident curse Mahito. @Unwaveringriot Sukuna can't reverse transfigured humans. Like Shoko said, once they're transfigured, it's over. So if Sukuna entered a binding pact without the ability to fulfill his end of it, then he will get punished. |
| 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 |
  |
| Great episode, I was sad for Junpei, he didn't deserve it despite everything. Itadori angrily gave Mahito no rest, but he still doesn't stand a chance. In the next fight it will be Nanami and Itadori against Mahito, looking forward to it. |

| That's a lot of holes in Itadori. I don't care about "reaslism", but he is doing a bit too well for such wounds. Somehow I just can't hate Sukuna. All that swagger is awesome. |
| I'm still reeling from that transition of Yuuji being the self-aware listening ear that Junpei truly needed ("Sorry. I said a lot of self-important stuff without understanding anything."), to him snapping due to his mix of rage and grief ("The next words that spilled from my lips came from so deep within my gut, that it nearly made all the things I've ever said feel like a lie--I will kill you!"). His va did a great job in delivering these scenes, truly. Those visuals of what could have been, if Junpei were to have been part of the gang were so <\3. That first punch to Mahito was satisfying and I can appreciate Sukuna basically letting him off with a "You are not on my level". |

| I found the animation in some very bad parts, unfortunately, these animes need animation to explode on the internet, but the episode was not bad, I think ... |
you can send a friend request at will!(ɔ◔‿◔)ɔ ♥ |
| Man the first half was just so boring but damn the pace and intensity really picked up after dat, twas awesome. Damn can't wait to see the 2v1 |

Yuuji's still young, brash and unexperienced, but he genuinely cares about other people's feelings and tries to learn how to communicate with them properly (from mistakes ofc, like what you said abt Junpei). |
el3mel said: This episode gave me HxH vibes. People who watched HxH will know which scene I am talking about. Overall I'm really liking this arc. The anime has stepped up a lot in terms of quality since this arc started. I thought the same thing! |
| Holy shit, that was so good. It was funny seeing Sakuna and Mahito both laugh at Yuuji. I hope Junpei survives Mahito really needs to die for what he did. Nanami still cool af tho with dem glasses. |

Alex_Lane said: 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! My guy he is dead did you not watch the episode properly that is why yuji went crazy angry |

-_TSG_HYBRD_- said: I have a feeling Junpei is gonna be turned back because in the OP he was sitting with the other students. If he did die then I think that scene in the OP is a bit weird to include him I'm going to explain this the best way I can, they added him in the opening because they wanted to do a would been future like if jumpei came to Jujutsu tech etc the same with the shot of jumpei with the gang during the episode they just highlighting a possible future |
|
| People are gonna die in this series and when they do, they don't come back this ain't ur normal shounen |
