Don't mean to offend anyone here that really liked the Panda stuff, sorry in advance.
I really don't like the heavy focus on side characters. It's simply too many for my taste, would prefer a heavier focus on the main characters. Almost feels like a filler episode.

I really liked this episode there was so much action. I couldn't understand Itadori's part though. So, why it is lagging exactly?


basically, yuuji's body's speed is too much for his cursed energy, so he needs to flow it better, to feel the balance.

I find it quite balanced since I have been always curious what sort of type is Panda, who is Mechamaru truly and who are the others? The main trio got much focus recently, so I would love to see the side-characters get their spot-light too.

So the Kyoto Sister School Exchange Event continues with Panda vs. Mechamaru. We get to see Panda go all out by tapping into his brother's core to go into Gorilla mode. In the end, Panda was just too strong for Mechamaru due the him being a cursed puppet.

kung Fu panda had the anime adaptation it rightfully deserved, kinda disappointed that Po didn't use the wushi finger hold but beggars can't be choosers I guess

Panda vs Mechamaru felt like a fight in Tekken haha That was hella awesome and I think it's refreshing to have Panda be happy with what he is, instead of the cliche of feeling miserable with the strange creature that he is. It also makes a great comparison for Mechamaru's character who can't accept himself.

I can't wait for the ladies' fights next week, get to see Nobara and Maki (aka best girls) show off their combat skills!

We finally get an explanation with what Panda is actually as. It turns out the panda isn't actually a panda. What a twist.

The fight with Panda and Mechamaru was really cool to watch. I like how Panda tricked Mechamaru with the fake core.

Mechamaru is a cooler character than I expected. Miwa trying to give him batteries was amazing.

Fantastic episode as always.

So Panda is not always a Panda, how shocking. How can Panda not be a Panda? We've been lied too.
Fight sequences were great as always.

I thought the exact same thing, Mechamaru was far too remniscent of Shishio to not be a homage. Rurouni Kenshin did run in Jump after all.

Yeah, author said in the manga extra that he/she can only draws/imagine Mechamaru with Shishio's design lol.

I never thought that Panda could some how morph into a gorilla? I'm a little confused about that, but its alright because I'm so excited to see Mekomaru's character development, I low key feel really bad for him, he's barely noticed, and he's almost equivalent to a corps with the condition that his body is in:/

The first battle cursed technique, the puppet versus a puppets!

I never expect Mechamaru had those 'dark' real body, really. Good thing i don't read wiki first before reaching his state. Because, yeah it may decreasing my general enjoyment, like i do to Panda. Lol. Holy shit, Panda! He had three cores! What a great cursed corpse mutation you had there, headmaster. Such a masterpiece. Poor Mechamaru. Even though he had those ultimate sniper, and those ultimate blast, its not enough to put down three cores puppet with a basic short-haul fight. Mechamaru underestimated the power of Panda, and mostly took the consequency really fast. Nice battle, really entertaining, especially with that gorilla mode.

Meanwhile, Itadori kept getting a good lesson from Toudou. Toudou notice a lag within Itadori cursed punch. Then, with his lesson, Itadori may learn something new about how to improve his cursed energy channeling, into such an effective way. Their friendship, really adorable, can't say more....

In the other side, Nobara kept trash talking to that old loli. She might learn something new from her, and, Mai. While in the same time, two girl that held their respective weapon attack each others with a good determination. Whose the real winner within those girls fight? Lets see next!

I thought this episode would be focused on Itadori's fight but never in my life i was so wrong and i am glad about it, what a great episode! Gotta love Panda man xD The dude is insanely cool, and OP.

Would be great if Panda would be able to help that guy from Mechamaru.
Yuuji will get very OP after training with Toudou xD

Damn everytime JJK focuses on a new character, I have another character to love. Panda and Mechamaru are so cool, hopefully we can see them in the spotlight more than once.

Also those mini bits are always entertaining, poor Mechamaru.

A normal episode, I don't find any special between Panda and mechamaru fight... Mechamaru real face does remind me of Shishio.
Miwa saying Maki stronger but her grade are the lowest? I guess she get lowest grade because she don't have any curse power.
Next episode are girls battle~ Can't wait to see those girls in action.

Seen a couple people complaining about the animation, but it was great? Idk what people be expecting lol. Every episode won’t look like Mahito and Namami. Thought MAPPA handled Mechamaru and Panda’s fight well.

I think the hip hop OST works really well too. Hype for next week’s fight tho.

Hip-hop OST ROCKS!!

Panda's got quite an interesting power in my opinion, and his gorilla form looks badass. So far that's 2 fights where the people on opposite teams become friends if we're counting Itadori and Todou.

Damn, Panda-senpai was the shit this episode. So cool and his dialogues towards the end were nicely handled as well.

As for Mechamaru, I wasn't really interested in him nor in his sob story but it was still nice to know more about the Kyoto students.

Overall, another pretty entertaining episode in terms of action and things only seem to get better for next week since Maki and Nobara (best girls) will be under the spotlight. Looking forward to some fights between ladies.

P.S.: Toudou teaching Yuuji how to balance his cursed energy looked oddly sexy, by the way.

Honestly I was really annoyed by this episode because I felt like I was on the edge of my seat just waiting to see Yuji fight. The first part of his first fight seemed more like training rather than an actual fight the panda fight was cool but the beginning of the episode got me hyped for Yuji's fight and the fact that they pulled me away from his fight for the panda fight made me dislike the panda fight and the episode. I'll probably watch episode 17 but I'm not sure if I continue after that if there is a recurring theme of building up fights to leave them cliffhanger

P.S. I know it's a big thing in the anime to do that but if you're going to start the fight just finish it

damn real nice episode. Of course, the first 3-4 minutes were pristine, i'm still in awe about how Toudou and Itadori's fight to the death turned into a friendship i didn't know i wanted this much in this anime. Toudou giving training to itadori was nice, especially with the explanation on how cursed energy works.

Panda and Mechamaru were both super interesting this episode. Lots of backstory revealed for panda, experimental cursed corpse with 3 cores and all. Interested to know how the core swapping works, and what type of animal panda's "older sister" is since it got taken out early, unless that core dosen't have a form unlike the older brother.
Mechamaru also seems to have a pretty interesting, but depressing, background of sorts. I respect the guy for being as strong as he is despite his situation, really hope we see more about his past and how he came around. Also the Panda and Mechamaru new found friendship seems really nice.

Looking forward to next episode, lots more fights between cursed users about to come up, especially looking forward to Nobara's and Maki's fights.

Ah yes, the good ol' rivals turn friends cliché (not really the same but you get the idea).

As much as I like the fights, it feels like it's getting dragged out. One episode per pair? That's a bit too much, might as well read the manga. But it won't change the fact that this is my most anticipated show that I look forward to every week.

Todo would make a really good Teacher. He could be Teacher at J High right now and he would be good. XD

Nobara vs Nishimiya Roast wars XD
Ultimate Mechamaru is damn cool. But Panda switches to Gorilla Mode! Let's go!

Aww, man. Mechamaru's wishes always get me. He just wants to actually be there with his friends. Really bittersweet.
Miwa vs Maki is beginning!

Jujustroll was to cute, man. I wonder how they would treat him if he would be able to physically be with them.

Toudou is actually teaching Yuuji sorcerer techniques! That's nice since he's treating Yuuji as best friend. lol

Panda is not a panda! Panda is a monster! Panda vs Mechamaru fight scene us so good and well-animated! It's too unfortunate for Mechamaru's controller to be in that position. I hope someday he'll be okay and be able to go out and bond with his friends.
