| (Anime watcher only) Honestly… this episode like a really rare misstep to me - from a pacing standpoint. I’ll probably get flamed here, but my gut reaction is that this episode went way too fast on some crucial plot elements. All of a sudden Geto is bad? That’s literally like a 2 episode character turn around from him. That shit really needed to breathe more, in my opinion. Also, there were a few spots with really shit animation. I’ll forgive that, it’s really just nitpicking. I think I only feel this way because I hold the series in such high regard, and it’s been so fantastic up to this. I’m sure this is just a blip - but that’s my gut reaction to it. I’m sure I’m against the majority here. |

| 4.5/5 Directorial masterclass this episode. Easily one of the best adaption by MAPPA & also my favorite of JJK episode by far The animation remained tidy & consistent throughout the run-time giving us abundance amount of Gosso's cinematic chops. Some shot compositions were otherworldly especially, the close up facial shots. The sound design were off the charts especially during those rain & water auditory transitions Geto was the focal point of this episode and I gotta say, his portrayal of despair and dilemma was more amplified than the manga, which I absolutely prefer. Yuki was introduced and her presence might have triggered Geto into becoming a fugitive and monkey hating psychopath. Gojo bitched out whilst Geto farms more curses, it's sad really!! Now, we prepare for shibuya, see y'all in 4 weeks for the madness ~~ |

| I was wondering how Geto would end up going bad, and I did like the progression of him going down that path but I was’t biggest fan of the reasoning behind it, those clapping assholes were enough to get to him so bad he’d choose genocide, and Yuki was the one who put this idea in his head in the first place lol, and sadly Gojo never saw that his bro was going through it the whole time. Even after seeing all that I don’t see Geto as even a little bit justified but knowing his motivations is cool nonetheless. And man, the reveal that there was another Star Plasma Vessel hurt, but I also had a feeling this was the case, rip Amanai once again. And I was kinda upset to see that one guy die after coming back from his mission too, but not much because we didn’t really see much of him, rip that guy tho. And we finally saw lil’ Fushiguro at the end too, and not long after the original trio once again, feels kinda weird seeing them again after being in the past so long but it felt good too lol. So I guess this means we’re officially done with this past arc, it was a good one, quite enjoyed it. Now to wait for basically a month for the next episode, but in the meantime maybe I’ll finally watch the movie lol. |

Shalick said: it's not just 1 woman who gave him 2 options that made him go bad, like do I really fucking have to say this??? all of the buildup since episode 1, did y'all just forget that?The motivation drive for characters in this show is such bullshit, was it so easy for Geto to accept the path he was going down? 1 random female gave him 2 options and just accept it without critical thinking or rumination.. The editing in the episode just makes it wierd as the next thing happens right after without any real build up to it, he just accepted it and boom now he is "evil". honestly it might be that, it might just be that y'all forgot, because everything has to be explicit for you guys, there's no room for subtlety, anything implicit or just told visually and it's too much for you guys, it has to be spoon-fed for y'all to grasp certain plot points, i'm so done for this community is doomed |

| Bruhh Haibara dead? we got jebaited again by the OP and ED. Damn so that's why Geto changed. Yuki kinda give Geto the push with that short conversation. It's all building up from Episode 1 and he finally snapped. That was a heart breaking moment seeing Gojo and Geto part away like that. Now patiently waiting for 3 weeks till Shibuya Arc start. Damn people in MAL really love to debate about the Animation. what a loser LMAO |

| Suguru's thought process slowly spiralling out of the high school standards, but its as Yuki says, he's not wrong. Loved how the directors kept a constant theme of clapping and the trauma it brings for him ue. KFC breakup retold with Suguru's side shown this time, it still hurts badly TT.TT. Its also wild seeing the official KFC twitter mentioning them as well o(-( Satoru's constant looks of insanity, paried with Yuuichi-san's vocals were perfection too Baby Gumi <33 Loved that squished panel of him dawww Guess its time to wait for the 31st for the next episode now... not ready for Shibuya arc at all o(-( |
| the more episodes come out, the more i enjoy it. really feels similar to csm and i'm all for it. another solid episode that looked good all round, and we see how geto's switch flips on those 'monkeys' lol with a little hand of yuki's to play, can't say i agree with geto but i totally get it. liked those rain scenes a lot but it was kinda trippy how the raindrops sounded like clapping. we come back to the present and i'm actually sad, but mappa really cooked on every episode of the flashback, so i'm glad about that. hoping the rest of this adaptation is just as good or better. |
 |
| The trio is back and the next episode will be the continue from the first season huh? Well, can't wait for it. |
 |
| Entertaining episode with lots of interesting dialogue. Geto's motivations are... interesting I guess 😂. I'm not sure his thinking makes much sense tho. Excited for shibuya arc! |
 |
| Another great episode! Geto has completely gone to the other side. And that's how he found his purpose. Back to the present. Yuji, Megumi, and Nobara with Gojo-sensei, it's nice to see them again. I'm excited for the upcoming arc to be animated. |
 |
| Oh man, Geto actually has a good reason for Breaking Bad. First, all the stress from being the clean up guy. Then the normal people giving birth to new curses just because they distrust Curse users. He's in a no win situation. I can't say I blame him, not after what blondie told him was true. |
 |
| Bath and rain scene sounding like claps as Geto gets more and more mentally worse is one of the greatest moments of this anime as a whole. Can't forget to say how the anime direction made confusing pages from the manga look so beautiful and interpretative. The candles with blue fire part was amazingly done, man. Loved how they showed Getou's decision by using a candle going out. Not only that! The way the direction had such freedom in the 6+ minutes of massive dialogue with Yuki is something worthy of tons of praise. Keeping the viewer interested in scenes of pure dialogue must be something very difficult to achieve and this one definitely was breathtaking. Seriously, jjk fandom complain for no fucking reason. They have such a great adaptation of their favorite thing and still cry for ???. I really can't understand this. That's why the better fandoms are, most of the time, those who get a bad adaptation of their favorite novel/manga. Only those who had suffered know how to enjoy. |
