It has the best intro I've ever seen. It looks like all the episode money went to the intro.

I haven't read the manga but ik when a show takes a serious tone. Everything just feels so ominous, the op, the simple casual happiness of the first half of the ep and the ed.

It was an amazing episode. Honestly, they started with Itadori and it was like the calm before the storm. Then we have Mechamaru, and honestly, WHAT A GLOW UP!!!! boy that is one fine man.

Already feels great with this premiere to the most-hyping arc of the jjk.

A time well-spent as the way they introduced the girl from Itadori middle school which i don't remember her much at the latest part, seriously xd. But my highlight is indeed goes to the the op already. Catchy song and the visual indeed stunning me. Especially at a certain part which truly exciting to see animated, ehem.

Mechamaru and Mahito duel is sure a one kind of. Makes senses now they need Yoshitsugu to be his voice. He have the rizz potential with that fixed body result thanks to Mahito fix. Alas, Yoshitsugu entering a non-harem anime here. So you know the deal at the end, right?

Ed isn't that strong unfortunately. But i can see it be relieving each time the breaking-heart duel ends...

Looked great! No laggy stuff like in their past shounen shows. But most of the hand to hand combat are zoomed in? It would be nice to zoom out a little and see their entire bodies animated/moving.

Come on, Mechamaru! You spent your whole life watching Eva and One Punch Man for this sole moment.
Seriously, dude looks exactly like Speed-o-Sound Sonic and his mecha attacks just like Genos, I can't ๐Ÿคฃ

Cool episode after the 3-week break. Not gonna lie, first segment with Yuuji's middle school classmate felt like shameful filler but man was it funny and lowkey emotional. All in all, it's nice to see these three idiots again before suffering strikes.

and yeah it feels like mechamaru ain't gonna make it out this one alive, I kinda want him to succeed even though he's a traitor. I'd do it too if i was in his predicament tbh

I really enjoyed this episode.

From the smooth discussion between Todo and Mei Mei put into the middle of a swift ping pong match and the personality each of the main trio ushes regarding relationship and the earthworm movie to Mechamaru's betrayal and his interest in Mina, the characters in this episode were all great. The goofy, the serious, the not so serious, the saddened, the devious, the feared, there was a a bit of everything.

Not only that but pairing it with gorgeous animation that doesn't put too much in your face in terms of details but knows when to flesh out during action scenes, it's a pleasure to the eyes. Oh, and those opening and ending sequences, I really dig them too. I'd need to get used to the track but the rest is all good.

This episode had that typical "calm before the storm" vibe. Still, it felt pretty good to be back in the present and watching our usual trio of Itadori, Nobara, and Megumi. While Itadori mentioned the Human Earthworm film series back in season 1, I didn't think the plot would be, shall we say, so "special"? lol.

That Todo and Mei Mei would propose nominations for Maki, Panda, Megumi, Nobara, and Itadori to first-grade sorcerer right now shows the tremendous impact each of them has made.
The table tennis match between Todo and Mei Mei was also something I didn't really expect. I genuinely had to laugh when I saw Todo's expression when he was told that by recommending Itadori, there was no way for him to be assigned to accompany Itadori on missions as well, which undoubtedly makes sense. The match against Mei Mei ended just as badly.

At first I had wondered why this tall, beautiful girl approached Nobara on the street about Itadori. Definitely surprising that she's someone from Itadori's former middle school. Looking at Yuuko's picture from 6 months ago, I can't even believe we're talking about the same person. Women would probably kill to get her secret, as was evident from Nobara's reaction shortly after.
The whole conversation, where it came out that Yuuko had always had feelings for Itadori, was surprising, but at the same time incredibly funny. Especially when Megumi came along :D
Nonetheless hats off to Itadori for continuing to recognize Yuuko despite her extreme change. I hope this doesn't mean anything bad as I'm already feeling some PTSD like with Junpei in season 1.

With the hatred that Mechamaru or should I say Kokichi expressed about his own body in season 1, it quite makes sense that he was the mole.
Still interesting to get more information about the huge differences between forged pacts with another person and pacts placed upon oneself. I would have loved to see what happens when you break the one with another person, but if even Geto doesn't advise Mahito to do so, it can only be dangerous. We've seen Idle Transfiguration in action before, and it still amazes me how easily Kokichi became Onsoku no Sonikku, I mean, of course, got a new, healed body :D
So this giant thing from the trailer was one of Kokichi's dolls? And as if that wasn't crazy enough, he now has all the curse energy he's accumulated over the past 17 years at his disposal as well? Starting this arc in such a way, I can't begin to imagine what's to come.

OP is an absolute banger and the dark visuals look absolutely insane. This will immediately land on my playlist. What a contrast to season 1. Very chill ED, I like it.

Lets talk about the OP because this is one of the sickest in anime all-time history. Love the ember sky color splash, the slow-mo swagger, the deliberate mirrored screensplit between Gojo and Getou set ups for what we already know will be an epic clash of good and evil. Sick beat, brings back Re:creator OP1 & 2 vibes. A trademark of my personal top animes is they have the absolute perfect soundtrack to go with the intro/outro theme, and it gets stuck in your head. The blend of synth, beatboxing-esque rhythm, that modified vocalized humming melody right before the lyrics, absolute perfection meshed. It cant get any better. Except it can.

Pan to the silhouettes of the big bads, standard technique yet always works and the giant 6 eyed monster that turns out to be not what we imagined. The chorus picks it up again with epic battle shots. Cut to all the domain expansion handseals that represent the signature ultimate move of every character.. What a way to just top it off.

The episode is no less amazing. Light hearted semi filler plot that bridges us back to our core junior trio getting elected for first grade sorcerors, abit of high school crush, funny in every single way, then JJK hits us back with the reality of the ever present threat of the curses in the second half with a plot twist. How does JJK have such top tier storytelling? The first episode of the Shibuya Arc sets the tone for an unforgettable sequel as the story of our heroes continue.. Will they thwart the Curses evil plot? Now we know how sinister Getou is, what is their trump card up their sleeve and can they pull the wool over Gojo's luminescent Six Eyes? We see Gojo lose(?) his Six Eyes in the OP, will that really happen? Who is Gojo Satoru without his power? Will Mechamaru survive his tribulation? And what is that secret pact Yuji made with Sukuna? So much mysteries and twists, you cannot predict what will happen, and I'm totally drawn in.

I have so many questions in the direction it is heading:

Did JJK seriously just pull a pain scene from naturo??

Also how tf did an anime about sorcerer and evil spirits turn into mecha fights?

I love how mecha dude's suffering just got completely skimmed through like he is just a side character.

I love that the movie Yuji is going to watch is how a woman falls in love with a human earthworm. He is a romantic person at heart.
Todo is my favorite Delulu person in Jujutsu Kaisen.
Among girls I love Nobara the most. She helped Ozawa right away and even called Fushiguro for help.
I loved that Itadori recognized Ozawa from the first look. Made my heart melt <3 <3.

  • So which girl in our class do you like, Itadori?
  • None of them
  • But if you had to pick?
  • Then… Ozawa
  • But she is fat!!
  • But the way she eats and her handwriting and stuff are super nice.

Ozawa heard the conversation and thought that Itadori saw something in her that she was not aware of on her own.
I was not expecting Itadori to be like this. I thought that he liked girls only because of their looks.
Sadly, they did not exchange phone numbers. All because, even after changing her own appearance according to modern beauty standards, she does not have self-acceptance and self-confidence. She doesn't like herself and that’s because she looks at herself from others’ perspective. It is hard to look at yourself and love it unconditionally. Besides, our looks and appearance is not everything. Sometimes, we forget that personality includes much more than our look. Our little hearts need nurture with care. We should not be harsh on it or it will wither and fade. Ozawa’s thoughts were harsh. In the past, she thought that Itadori would not like her because of looks but her thoughts did not change even now. Point is that we always find something we do not like about ourselves or others would not like about us. Our thought pattern is crucial and it leads to even more crucial decisions. I am rooting for Ozawa and their couple but I do not know how love can unfold in the Jujutsu Kaisen world. I loved to see three of them together again. At this point I was crying so much I had to stop and go take a tissue.

In the second part, we find out that Mechamaru had a pact with Mahito. He regained his limbs and decided to go against Geto’s plan. I do not have much hope about Mechamaru’s life. I think he won’t survive this battle. At least, he is kinda hot and we know why he wants to survive the battle. Hope he will reunite with Miwa and his friends.

Loved the first half. Super wholesome and fun. Then in the second half we have some plot stuff happening. I don't really remember was it ever made a point that there was something suspicious going on with leaked information? Or are we literally just starting here with "ok team turns out Gojo or something figured out there is leaked stuff cause the bad dudes were figuring stuff out" ? I feel like I was so uninvested in season 1 so when we get into this stuff I have no idea if I'm missing some critical or if that's just how it is.

That sounds like a death flag for Mechamaru. At least he got into a robot.
I suspect Ozawa is here to suffer too. I doubt she appeared just for comedy or light romance.

Shibuya arc!!

Starts of happy go lucky with some good comedy and Itadori meeting an old friend.

Things pick up as we find out about the mole who turns out to be Mechamaru. Since he was working with Getou, but intended to tell Gojo about the plot, does that make him a good guy at the end?

Doesn’t seem like he’ll survive this but we’re in for a good fight!
