| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Episode aired 15 mins later than usual: https://jujutsukaisen.jp/news/20210118_02.php https://twitter.com/animejujutsu/status/1351107790245388294 And let the Kyoto-Tokyo exchange festival-cum-competition BEGIN! Tokyo School: Curses vs. Kyoto School: Yuuji Itadori Yuuji vs. Aoi Toudou, and just as he asked Nobara and the others back then in women's tastes, pretty standard Aoi style of appraisal. The Jennifer Lawrence name refferal is back again, and with Toudou's iimaginative emotional backstory, that's some "Men of Culture" of powerful connections. But if there's anything that the big buff guy hates, is being interrupted. But regardless, you can't be magnificently awed at the amount of sakuga in the fight between Yuuji and Toudou. It certainly did not take long for the Tokyo School to learn of Yuuji being targeted by the Kyoto School (starting from Principal Gakuganji's rouses), because of him being Sukuna's vessel host, and that kind of cursed level is unprecedented, even against fellow sorcerers. The eyes of the Kyoto School, Nishimiya, downed by Fushiguro's powers, and being taunted by Panda and Nobara, that shit is hilarious! Definitely not cute and crass. Pretty interesting that Toudou tries to test Yuuji in strength and camaraderie...best friends in connection! Let the flex roll, my best friend! LELS Juju Stroll is just an interview of the perfect types for each girl...and Gojou-sensei trying to be subtle on Miwa. |

| Don't care, but Todo's memories are canon flashback to me. Dope episode as always, each week I'm grateful again for the production quality. Hope this will last till season 2 at least. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| The start of one of the greatest friendships/brotherhoods Itadori and Todo ^^ |
| this episode went by in a flash. The kyoto students seriously are trying to kill him. I still think that Yuuji is gonna win against Toudou. |
 |
| The best friendship in jump has finally been animated. Todo and his little brother. 😂 AoT stans in the mud complaining, but JJK fans eating rn. |
 |
| Todo's expressions are too funny. That one fight scene between him and Yuji combined with the weird relaxing bgm is the funniest lmao Whoever directed the Juju Stroll for this episode is a G. That ending hinting Gojo likes nice girls like Miwa, before giving us a preview of next episode showcasing Mechamaru rampaging is too cruel 😭 Edit: Now that I think of it, it doesn't make sense for Gojo to say it in front of Utahime (who hates his guts) that he likes girls like Miwa, a student of Utahime. She would have attacked him right there and then for implying such a thing cause she's pretty protective of her students. So I think the question he was asked was who took a selfie with him. And since Miwa didn't tell Gojo her name, he could only describe her generally. |

| My GOD do i love Toudou! Cant believe Itadori forgot his BFF, that alternate flashback was pure comedy! Also ,Miwa is cute...! |
| well that's just my opinion..... |
| All around poorly directed. Somehow it managed to be even worse than episode 8. |
NycroJan 22, 2021 12:23 PM
| so in terms of normal human strength then Yuji is more powerful than Todo eh and Gojos type of girl is Miwa eh they meant for each other later on then |
| Nice backstories etc I guess, and the fight's animation is still really good |
 |
| The Kyoto group really want to kill Itadori. Toudou's "memories" was the best part of the episode for me. True best friends. XD I'm looking forward to seeing Panda's fight. |
 |
| Todo found the homie that he had been looking for, it looked like the start of a great friendship to me. Momo is really cute and her VA is great as well. |
 |
| Miwa got some screentime, and even got noticed by Gojou in the Jujutsu Sanpo segment :D I am so happy for her, she's the best character by far... I really hope we get to see more of her |
 |
| Can't believe they wasted 1 minute and 45 seconds on Toudou's "dream"... Like too often in shounen anime, feels like almost nothing happened in the episode. We already knew the other school students were going to try killing Itadori and were going to fail at it, and it was totally obvious Itadori was going to fight Toudou, since these two characters are the dumbest and strongest boys around when it comes to fight with fists. And like everytime with these kinds of fight, it was just dull. Big punches and air explosions or whatever don't make me feel excitement anymore. At least, judging from next episode preview it seems the other characters will be having a little action too, and I expect to see nice things hopefully. And by "nice things", I mean interesting powers/techniques used in an interesting, preferably strategical fashion, and not senseless beating like we saw in this episode. On a more positive note, the blue-haired girl confirms that she is a nice girl. Too bad she's in the other school and not in the protagonists' one. |
| "A tall woman with a big ass" - Itadori Yuuji 2021 |
 |
| Todo with the Question! The imaginary memory scene was done so well, XD. Now it will no longer be Todo vs Yuji but Todo training Yuji lol. Nobara vs Nishimya will be hilarious. Can't wait. Amazing episode. Juju Stroll was really sweet. Miwa has a chance lol. The preview had my fav fight Panda vs |
| --AbiSa-- |
| Finally got to see Toudou vs Itadori. Sweet! |
 |
| So the Kyoto Sister School Exchange Event kicks off with a fight between Itadori and Toudou. The two of them become fast friends during the fight, but the other students from the Kyoto school tried to kill Itadori by surrounding him. Fortunately, Toudou told those guys to fuck off and focus on the competition. |
 |
| Based MAPPA with the sakuga. The storyboarding could’ve been improved a little to make scenes more fluid going back and forth but otherwise great start to this arc. I can already tell the upcoming fights will be highly enjoyable The made up flashback with Todo crying.. right in the feels besto friendo. Also we finally got to enjoy the best bromance in its animated form with a quick peek of Todo’s technique through sound but being used offscreen 👏👏. |
 |
| This arc is looking pretty good so far. The fight between Itadori and Toudou was pretty fluid so far and Toudou’s imagined sequence was pretty funny. Now that the groups are paired up next episode should be a treat too. |
| Another amazing episode. The start of a great friendship starts here! |
  |
| Toudo Vs Itadori was pretty great. It was to no surprise that Toudou was gonna ask Itadori about his prefered woman and he now thinks they are besties. Toudou is such a meathead, but a very strong one. Can't wait to see this battle progress, some nice battles seem to be coming up! Nishimiya on the broom instantly reminded me of Elaina when she said that she was so cute again today. Jujutsu stroll was amazing with Miwa and Gojou stealing it once again!! |
 |
| bruh maybe toudou x yuji was the OTP all along. Yuuji is the next Tomoda-kun :P regardless, seems like it's gonna be individual fights before what I presume the baddies gonna invade, where I feel like the actual cool fighting will happen. Don't think any of these fights currently are gonna come anywhere near the one against Mahito, but I would like to be proven wrong lmao |

| @KANLen09 What I really love about this show is how practical and fluid the fight choreography is. Mostly pure martial arts techniques and moves, nothing particularly exaggerated at all. Sure, there's the supernatural powers with the cursed energy and stuff, but for the most part, the action composition has impressive consistency. Additionally, the anime isn't trying to hurry up with things, either. Sure, some segments could've been a tad bit shorter, but the show clearly isn't trying to rush to the good parts. The blend of comedy and seriousness also feels much better here than in the gray inconsistent display from Demon Slayer, imho, even though the comedy IS still quite hit or miss. Nothing overbearing, nothing half-assed, nothing hamfisted. It's not perfect, of course, but it's been nice and steady so far. Most other shounen nowadays don't do enough of this. |

|
| What Toudou imagined had me laughing the whole time, I can't wait to see what he teaches Itadori. It seems like the beginning of a beautiful friendship, I couldn't wait for the two to meet after both have clearly said what their favorite type was. |
       |
| I love that flashback when Itadori said his ideal woman, it was funny. Fantastic episode. The ED song is so good. |

Even though I wouldn't have worded it this harshly, I agree. Toudou's dream was extremely unnecessary and really disrupted the flow of this episode :/ I also don't like Toudou as a character at all so far, extremely shallow :x But the animation was great as always and I'm really looking forward to the next episode! :) |
There's no possible way you can steal my heart    I want to drown in this sweet Melancholy |
| Good episode overall, although I felt like the fight between Itadori and Todo wasn't animated as well as everything else. I also felt like the pacing of the dream sequence was too slow. Can't wait for next week though :) |
| That was a really touching episode despite the fact that almost half of its characters were trying to kill off one. The cast is fun as always and the stroll was very wholesome. Good stuff. |

| Toudou best boy, the flashback after he asked Yuuji what's his ideal type killed me LOL. I knew they'd get along well, I'm sure their interactions will be very entertaining. Also it's funny how he instructs Yuuji in the middle of a battle. Short_Circut said: bruh maybe toudou x yuji was the OTP all along. Yuuji is the next Tomoda-kun :P omg I also thought of Tomoda-kun lmaoo |
| Thw nwq op and Ed were straight bangers. I love how Toudo automaticlly said Yuji and him were best friends. This arc seems good |
on 
| Hmmm felt weird but overall I liked it. Kinda sad Yuji's divergent fist doesn't look like it hits twice though. With this pacing I wonder how the rest of the season is going to go. |

Yeah, if you haven't read the manga, you won't understand the "dream". However, it is something to remember for the next season. |
DertyChewbacca said: Yeah, if you haven't read the manga, you won't understand the "dream". However, it is something to remember for the next season. It doesn't matter that it will pay off in 50 episodes, but how it fit into the pacing of today's episode. They felt the flashback was too slow and intrusive in an episode they already felt was slow and uninteresting. While I disagree with their opinions on the fight choreography, I noticed the way they lingered on the shots to be fairly drawn out. I think the anime's pacing is intentionally slow in order to finish the season with this arc. |
