Pure action and pure hype all the way through. What an incredible episode.

Geto snapped at Toji but Toji had an answer to almost all of Geto's questions. And, then the main course of the episode with round 2 between Gojo and Geto. The first glimpse of why Satoru is considered the 'Strongest'. Felt extremely sad for Toji on his last legs remembering Mamaguro and Megumi. It was a wholesome moment for him. But, I won't forgive him for what he did to Riko. RIP Riko. But, what a badass character he was. RIP Toji.

And, the aftermath of this fight was just pure chaos. Some might recover from this while for others, this incident will change the course of their thinking about the Jujutsu Sorcery completely.

A beautifully crafted episode.

He could use guns, he could use blades, he could overwhelm people even with zero cursed energy… he’s Toji. If Gojo getting the literal meaning of what being “strong” actually means wasn’t already enough last episode, this time it was the turn of Geto. That man may have hundreds of cursed spirits, may be a master of curse manipulation but… but not only did he fail, he failed spectacularly. 

And as he calls himself a monkey, one with zero cursed energy, Toji just like that breezed past Geto and thereafter handing Riko to the concerned authority. So this the end right? I mean the duo is down and out and Riko’s dead, so it’s REALLY the end right? AS FUCKING IF… Gojo with that glow-up and that entrance out of nowhere literally got me screaming even after knowing full well it was coming. He acted like a maniac, and he dealt the final blow as a fucking maniac.

Reversed cursed technique was what saved his life, and then just like that he put a presentation of his godly powers one after one, red, blue and THE purple as well. As sad and unfortunate as it may sound, but Gojo is the “STRONGEST” in this series and Toji perished *don’t feel sad, don’t feel sad*

This was worth every hype. Mappa blew it out the park, with Gojo, with Toji, and with that post-credit segment. That may look like a meme but it was there when Geto realized.

Best episode in JJK yet. I really am surprised how well MAPPA is handling this. Animation was done so well. The story is phenomenal but that’s a mangaka compliment.

The arc is about to end next week. However I am actually very hyped to see how they will treat the next arc.

that episode was probably my favourite of the show so far, and no matter how short, this was one of my favourite arcs in the manga, and mappa did a great job adapting it.
make sure you watched the post credits scene, if you're one of those people that turn the show off when the credits start!

i watched it on netflix and noticed that they changed the iconic line “throughout heaven and earth, i alone am the honored one” to “above and below, only i dominate”. does other streaming platforms also have this?

What a fight scene to start the ep with. Hiding one's inventory inside themselves really is creative. Touji though sure is one tough customer. Gojou's quick thinking sure was genius. High Gojou sure made their second encounter much more interesting. Honestly though those cult members clapping mindlessly as Gojou got Riko out just made me sick. Truly humans can be the most terrifying of creatures when it comes to being depraved.

I like Gojo, but I'm not a fan of how this series hyperfixates on him. Toji was slowly built up as a menace in the previous episodes and then in an exhilarating display of power and brutality, he manhandles the most overpowered character in the series so far only for Gojo to reverse that dynamic almost immediately after. They killed off such a fun and interesting character just like that in order to display how powerful Gojo is now. Oh well, RIP to my favourite character. Toji reminded me of Kenpachi but more erratic.

The episode looked great, though. I know there are bigger centrepieces to come and episode 3 was amazing, so I'm pumped to watch this every week.

RCT is what saved Gojo. But, we have to thank Toji for it to happen. A brutal and menance person that overwhelmed Geto and Gojo is brutally blasted a hole through his body. Yeah, it's finally animated and it was shorter than I expected. It was still brilliant and the overall direction of the episode was incredible. The dialogue between Geto and Gojo after the ED is very interesting.

Peak action yet again, Toji was and will always be HIM but Gojo is just on another level. This is really where he started to cement himself as the strongest Jujutsu Sorcerer alive. Also, you can tell that Riko's death is having a drastic effect on Geto, clearly that moment changed him as a person. What a great episode. 
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Pure hype, that's was all it was, RIP RIko, RIP Toji. A turning point for Jujutsu Sorcerers in general, and a very well animated episode, one of the best in the series. Gosso is really carrying this to glory along with the rest of the team. OST continues to be great, even if they reused the piano music from last episode.

Yeah explaining your abilities before attacking the enemy shounen trope. Idk this ep felt underwhelming to me. I couldn't feel the hype . Probably because I saw the manga panels before. Still I feel this fight ended too quickly.

Direction is really good this season. Gojo using RCT and Purple for the first time was badass as expected, but I'll miss Toji :(

I think Gojo saying the thing and Purple were better storyboarded in the manga, but it was still good. The purple panel is pretty hard to adapt 1:1 in its animated form so it is what it is.

They just had to show Riko's death again T_T
8:35 Lmao the artstyle change. 恵み (megumi, Fushiguro's first name) - blessing.
TOJI VS GOJO ROUND 2 LET'S GOOOO
Gojo looks so badass. And his eyes are even more beautiful than usual.
16:53 天上天下唯我独尊 (tenjou tenge yuiga dokuson) - "throughout heaven and earth, I alone am the honored one" words supposedly recited by Buddha on his birth, while raising his right arm
The animation sequence with a red and a blue drop is so damn cool.
23:40 "I wonder if whoever came up with the phrase "a surprising side thought of people as cubes, and if whoever came up with the insult "shallow" thought of people as flat surfaces?" Damn this sounds like some philosophical stuff I'm not smart enough to understand. (also instead of "cube" she actually said 立体 (rittai) - "three-dimensional object".)

So the next episode is the last one in this arc huh?

nah that episode hits different..

toji thinking of megumi in his last moments made me kinda sad :( he knew telling gojo would save his son.

the animation of gojo’s eyes was amazing, really one of my highlights this ep!

geto about to turn next ep and I’m not ready for it.

This right here, definitely so far the peak of jujutsu kaisen. It will definitely change in later episodes. I really want to say too many things about this. But I'm afraid I will give off spoilers anime only's. I will wait for this season to end then I will give all my thoughts about it.

curse reverse technique kinda help to heal, recover the curse energy. It is just my understanding. That is how adult gojo uses his infinity whenever he wants without exhausting himself.

You mean the trope that was established as making your techniques more powerful in JJK’s world? The trope that was literally explained this episode when Geto cutoff Toji explaining his heavenly restriction?

See? Godlike Gojou shenanigans.
Putting in a very crude way and DBZ fan memes. Gojou got to the the brink of death so he  got his zenkai boost like a Saiyan.

I thought that would be the moment Suguru would begin to be okay killing people, seeing how he is in the future.
