The animation in this episode was incredible. I wouldn't have expected any of these fights to be handled this way and I'm glad they were. Good character development for Nobara, Maki, and Mai as well.

Lowkey going to be annoyed if this is the highlight of the show animation wise. I liked these fights in the manga but there are also much better moments later that deserve this amount of detail

MAPPA elevated what was presented in the manga. And Nobara was a badass. Loved her attitude and philosophy.

The animation and the fights were amazing, but can we take a moment to realize the dad of Maki and Mai is voiced by Jouji Nakata himself?

another feast for my eyes, MAPPA putting out hits every week.

the whole episode seemed like really detailed, more so then other episodes, maybe I'm wrong though.

I do occasionally vent on crunchy forums and I've been saying I will cancel my sub since they got bought up, but Im perhaps trolling, barring the Aztec travesty, I cant stop watching crunchy originals. This episode was epic, brilliant characters, story integrated into the fight sequences and Im still chomping at the bit too see how MC is fairing against his best friend beast! More!!!!!

That was a good fight, one of the best fights this arc Mai vs Miwa.

That was a great sub-arc between the two twins.

This episode is hands down my favorite. The fight scenes are beautifully animated and my favs Nobara and Maki really got to shine. Also I'm so happy Nobara said she loves Maki hehe. I don't care if you ship them or not but I think that it's so stinking cute how much Nobara looks up to Maki. I love their friendship so much.

dayuuuum Maki so badass lul, holy shit she destroyed them. Though it does seem kinda bs how one panel the cursed bullet is pretty much right up against her glasses, but somehow she managed to swing her arm back and still grab the bullet in time lol wut?


Poor Nobara though, she never ends up getting that much fight time lol, even this fight most of it was just the blondie ranting about gender roles and whatnot.


Though despite all Kusami still ends up being best girl, "please give my sword back" lmao

Miwa (one of the only four interesting characters in the show) jobbing automatically makes this the worst episode of the entire series so far, and the sister drama is stupid and boring.

Good catch, I thought something felt wrong about that but didn't want to pause the episode to look further.

Fantastic episode as always, fight sequences were beautiful. Animation was smooth and cool as well. Fight choreography was awesome, just all around great.

Ton of emotion and heart behind every word Nobara says and the Maki vs Mai. All round great stuff. I hope they keep this up.

Loved this episode other than the bullet scene with Maki vs Mai. The camera kept rotating unnecessarily and the bullet looked kinda wrong. And then when explaining her technique it showed like a N64 cutscene of a bullet and cursed energy at like 2 fps.

Nice to see those Kyoto plebs get their asses beat. Dumb witch girl is going off about how Mai had to struggle so much because girl in big clan like shut up no one gives a shit. Nobara beat her ass good. Shame she got cheesed out of a win. Mai is pretty trash as well. Blaming all her struggles on Maki for leaving just because she's a weak pleb who can't handle her sister being strong and living her own life.

That Nobara VS Momo scene is one of my favorite scenes in the manga because Nobara's self-love is so inspiring and she really lets her inner badass out. Even though Momo is a third-year, Nobara could've taken her down if it wasn't for Mai's intervention and that is just awesome!

The Zenin sisters finally fought it out and despite being the 'weaker' twin, Maki absolutely destroyed Mai - I mean, the girl stopped a bullet of cursed energy with her bare hands! It was sad to see the way the Zenin clans ridiculous expectations and prejudice tore the girls apart

Nobara was badass. Too bad she didn't actually win at the end.

Maki is way stronger than I expected. Neither Miwa or Mai stood a chance!

What an episode! Nobara definitely took the spotlight for this episode, what a badass!
One of the most hilarious moments from Jujutsu, this episode was such a blast.

for extra damage


But Maki, oh boy! So much power, damn. Maki and Nobara's fights were their best so far!
Can't wait for the next episode!

Bless Mappa and their staffs that worked for this episode

Guess the rest of this arc's narration is done by the spectating sorcerers/teachers like how Utahime explained Mai's bullet Construction.

With every episode, a story is reveled on the sister school part. Damn, they've had tough lives. But being unlucky doesn't mean they have the right to trample on others. Somethings are just outright truth.

Great fights scenes, all 3 of them!!! Loved the story behind Maki-Mai twins.
Maki is strong as f*ck. Nobara's growth was impressive.

Each episode I come to like more the opening and ending. Jujutsu is perfect.

It's very refreshing seeing how this series portrays its female characters. Most Shounen battle anime use their female characters just to look cute and for fanservice like My Hero Academia, Fairy Tail, and Seven Deadly Sins, but here in JJK they're actually interesting, well-written, badass, and not overly sexualized. I especially loved Nobara's rant towards Momo saying that she doesn't give a shit about gender roles which is definitely something that I can get behind. The only downside to this is that a lot of chuds will probably get triggered and call this "SJW propaganda" like they always do.

Not only that, but good god the animation was absolutely stunning! Probably the best animation that MAPPA has made so far


What's funny is I actually did initially think about that moment like that. I still remember in Avengers when they got a shot of all the female heroines in Endgame and I felt like Brie was apart of that decision to wedge in some feminist agenda into the movie which I felt was jarring and immersion breaking at the time. Leave it up to anime for a message like that to actually hit and have weight. The female characters in JJK are cute but also have depth and don't have shitty writing like Sakura (Useless) and Hinata (Which her relationship with Naruto was barely developed and in my opinion not justified nor believable). I feel like part of the problem with chivalry and gender roles is that girls/women are now used to it and want to take advantage of the pedestal they're propped on by men. They (some) don't understand that that pedestal that they're propped up on is manufactured with sexist ideologies that women are weak or inferior to men which is why they "need" to be protected coddled and deserve special treatment. I feel like our gen will hopefully get rid of gender role s and create a more equal and just society for all. Im also gonna re watch JJK after this season because Im missing some details rn that gotta be filled in now.

This episode was just sugoii. A brilliant start, a brilliant backstory in the middle and a brilliant conclusion. I was impressed by seeing the animation in this episode. The backstory was a little touching showing the deep relation that Maki and Mai had with each other. Next episode is the fight that I've been waiting for. Fushigoro.
