I hate to say this episode is just a masterpiece, because even though one knows what is gonna happen it still fucking hurts> I can't hate Toji, but man he definitely traumatised Geto. I loved the "We are the strongest"

Oh god, the last episode where geto is sane. The next one im gonna lose my brain about.

BUT THAT SHOT OF THE VESSEL GIRL BEING SHOT AFTER THE EMOTIONAL CONVO GOOOOD THEY DID THAT SOOOO GOOOOD, LIKE IT WAS GOOD IN THE MANGA, BUT ANIMATED??????!!!

The Gojo/Toji battle im not even gonna go into because it was so short but like... ABSOLUTE FIRE.

Oh my god i literally cannot wait for the next ep.

And then,
the Shibuya arc...

we are so not ready

We don’t need to see Geto and Gojo obliterating the kidnappers, their strength has already been established and it gives us time for some beach fun yaaaay!
Toji is a piece of shit, but damn he is a badass one.

I'm going to get dizzy from all the twirly backgrounds. And the girl died, and I just started memorizing her name, that's sad I guess? It reminds me of the guy who appeared for about 2-3 episodes and died on the previous season, killing characters because you can won't make their deaths impacful, you know?

Can someone tell me what is the point of this flashback?
Understanding basically everything that happens afterwards, what happened to the vessel girl Amanai in this ep, and what later will to Geto, is a setup in the same way Yuuji eating Sukuna's finger was. The timeline may be a bit confusing but it goes like this: s2 part 1 - movie (JJK 0) - s1 - s2 part 2
Hope this helped, hit me up for any clarification if needed.

Fuck....I can't man. This show is so fucking good. I can't wait to see what happens next. Also, this is Riko's fault.
I haven't updated in years but now I have changed that. I'll be free soon.

Finally starting to pick up. It was so satisfying to see gojo get absolutely destroyed for once. I mean I know his obviously not dead but it was still satisfying as hell to watch.

Didn’t really care about Riko dying. Might have been because I got spoiled about it. But it was probably because I don’t really tend to feel sad about characters that I haven’t built much of an attachment towards dying I mean we only knew her for like 2 episodes.

Great episode overall. Toji is a menace.

I get what you mean. I felt similar way for Rengoku in Demon Slayer

Completely stunning and heart-wrenchingly existential. Not as many people have been talking about it, but the music when Toji stalks Gojo is pseudo John Cage.

Holy baby gods you pray to. I no longer care if its flashback, prequel or actually season 2. That was peak Jujusu Kaisen bringing a banger of an episode which out of all episodes ranks in my top list of awesome jujutsu kaisen episodes

Damn the girl died, and Gojou got his ass kicked, I didn't expect any of this, this is why sleeping is important, that villain used his brain to defeat him. The fight scene was good too but S1 has better fight scenes since it has better choreography but the fight scene here was good enough to get the job done so I'm not complaining either.

I bust out laughing so hard when Riko got shot.  They even had the ED playing so it'd be extra funny when Toji just pops a cap.  God damn Toji is just too funny and Koyasu is nailing it

Probably my favorite episode in the show yet, the sequences with riko on the extra day to backing of that beautiful piano piece to the brutal fight with touji and that even more brutal ending, this was falt out the most immaculately directed episode of anime ive seen all this year, just really incredibly balance of tone to get you off guard and phenomenal scene transitions to rip out those moments of respite. Toji also pretty easily cements himself as a standout antagonist really looking foreword to this dude being a menace going foreword.

Jizzy as you would call yourself because youre a dick The most butthurt award goes to you And clearly you havent watched that many shows thats why you cant determine if a show is unique or not Or maybe you're just a child who likes common stuffs where hero saves the day and guys gets all the girls. Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me

They even added the ending as an insert song, they really wanted this moment to be emotional man c'mon. not sure about the manga, I'm anime only, but the anime version was going for a cry-fest here 100%
I mean, this could have worked similar to something like War in the Pocket if that was what they were going for, that was a work that managed to deliver a gut-punch in 6 episodes... maybe my expectations were too high... this is a common problem in modern media in general I feel though

You are just misunderstanding. I won’t necessarily say its your fault, since the direction may have led people to believe that it was a somewhat emotional arc. However, it is not a fault in “writing”, like you seem to think it is. There will be others who will not be upset at this “twist”, because they were able to recognise that this isn’t necessarily meant to be cry porn. This is very consistent in JJK, and there is even precedent with Junpei. If it annoys you enough, you’re better off just dropping it sooner rather than later
I agree, because if people do not understand what this arc stand for , they will always be disappointed because author will never show what they want to see.

And this happens with every arc, people always misunderstand the actual theme of arc and try to find what they want to see.

i'm liking this adaptation so far, if it gets the same treatment, i might even end up thinking culling games is good.
fun times at the beach and the music was sick this episode. gojo vs touji was pretty well done.
touji brought a glock lmao rip rika though, rough. geto was about to pop off at the end, even the animation looked like it was about to go off.

Gojo vs Toji was stellar. The animation, the music, and the choreography were all incredible. I really wish Bleach had been given this kind of treatment. It's funny how the manga Bleach inspired is receiving a better adaptation.

4.5/5

That episode delivered in almost every way possible. The choreography was stellar, consistent fluid animation all around, appropriate sound designs(especially just before the stab scene) and most importantly, the blow up of the ongoing plot by a single character. We've NEVER SEEN Gojo like that but Toji is just so casual with it!!! I was literally in tears with hype after that final Riko scene. The fact that they trolled us using the ending song was a cherry on top. Next episode should go crazzy as well. This train ain't stopping , the hype goes on~~

Oh my gosh, so we got to this part of this arc, huh? If in itself this chapter was really surprising, I can't imagine the next one, I'm just telling you that it has one of the best fights, if not the best of this anime.
 I'm not a critic or anything like that but I like to give my opinion
