| Bruh, did they kill Nobara just like that? |
 |
| wow what? i don' like this writing wtf. |

| fuckkkk whyyy this happened !! kugisaki did nothing wrong but they kill him !!! |
| Please stop killing everyone!! WTF Nobara was one was most entertaining shounen females leads in a while for me,,,the VA did a amazing job. I just hope out of some miracle she turns out to be alive, but this is JJK.. RIP |
| Her death should have felt more impactful, but it totally fell flat. The only deaths in this arc that have made me feel the slightest emotion were the Hanami and Mechamaru deaths, and that was mostly because of how surprised I was that season one characters were being killed that soon into this arc. This may be a side effect of a story with too many characters that also spends too little time developing them. Nobara, despite how much she is featured and associated with Megumi, Itadori, and Gojo in promotional materials and the opening and ending credits, had about as much character development as the panda. It's the same issue with Nanami. Did I like the battle scenes I saw Nanami and Nobara in? Sure, but were those scenes enough to get me to care about their deaths? No. I'm trying to think... Is there any character in this show whose death would upset me? And I'm drawing a blank. I appreciated the Nobara backstory. It was a nice change of pace from another long drawn out battle scene. I was expecting the Saori stuff to end up with some curse related plot point when the appearance of her home started to change followed by her abrupt departure, but it just ended up being some banal story about friends drifting apart. It was good given the contrast between their lives in the future. Saori is stuck at her office job while Nobara suffers a gruesome death. That was neat. |
| I am an anime only watcher and have no plans to read manga so this is my first experience with the story as it unfolds in the anime. I think this one is genuinely the episode where I finally lost my patience with Yuji. How are you going to make so many tall claims about killing this and that and literally beat one of the top villains with bare fists hardly using cursed fists, is brute forcing supposed to do something to Mahito or what? Giving opening to an enemy as dangerous as Mahito is just frustrating to watch. As much as I had no interest in Nobara, I really commend what an amazing opening she created for Yuji. Alas it was wasted because she still got killed, which is not the point, but makes me wonder how differently the scene would have played out if someone else with a better cursed technique was there when the opening was made. It seems everyone is just fodder at this point for Yuji’s nervous break down for super Saiyan power up (I would have assumed Sukuna’s destruction was enough catalyst for that). I can’t even be bothered enough to be invested in any character except Sukuna at this point, clearly he is the star of the show and everyone else is either dispensable or hilariously outmatched for now. Compared to Toji vs gojo+Geto and Yuta vs geto stories, I find this current plot fairly lacking. |
| why am i still here only to suffer? i knew nobara would die (spoiled by manga readers) but still it felt kinda sad. i still had hopes that maybe she somehow survived when she didn't immediately explode after being touched but then they started showing her backstory which just solidified that she's indeed dead. itadori's gonna fucking EXPLODE now. i can't even imagine how tf he's gonna handle himself. two people he was so close to just died in front of him while he couldn't do anything and both of them killed by the same person. idk how itadori is gonna do it but mahito is beyond fucked now. i hope he rips mahito apart limb to limb. |
 The end of an era. Thank you Wit, Mappa and Isayama. Feeling half happy, half sad. Kawaii waifus and precious best girls <3333 |
| Mahito's premise was always clear, he is a curse and likes to kill for the sake of killing, but few characters like him have the ability to make me want to see him die to the point of begging to be killed. |
| Kugisaki should just listen to papa Nanami smh. What a bad girl. Now he joins him visiting Kuantan, dancing forever after. She got her dream comes true tho. Forget about the hole at half of your head, Kugisaki. Its still looks good on yah. So well, if that's what's this about then, life's indeed is not bad at all... I feel like they did a nicely done job here portray Mahito shittiness. Now time to the real revenge, Yuuji boy. Cause your besto friendo will arrive and give a very healthy boost for you. A very in-needed moral effect, till the end of this incident. |

This arc is absolutely insane.
And now that it actually happened we can post without a spoiler tag that the opening foreshadowed it all along
This felt a lot more devastating than in the manga. You can't stress it enough how much the right seiyuu and OST sqeeze your heart.

| @FMmatron these types of foreshadows are GREAT and add more power to the openings, they do not spoil anything big, and you could have never understood what actually happened, but still they create hype towards the moment where you will recognize that scene from the OP. |

| @Jagara The thing is that there is no super saiyan power up for Itadori in this show. The destruction of unknown people of course isn't going to break him completely. Then Nanami's death happened and he felt so enraged with Mahito because he couldn't believe all of this was happening, shouted and charged at him with all his might, but he tried to calm himself saying Nanami would do the same. But now with Nobara's "death" he doesn't feel rage anymore, it is too much for even him, a mentally strong person, he has just fallen in despair and is completely broken down, unable to do anything. All of this was necessary. |

| Nobara's backstory didn't even hit hard, felt pointless, and the whole backstory just before character's death or injury is lame |
 |
| ๐ข๐ข๐ข๐ข๐ข |
     |
| Does anyone know what the graffiti on Saori's house said? Or why she was harassed to begin with? |
| Another one. Creepy as fuck to celebrate someones first period, is that information your parents would talk about with others even? Even if the entire village wasn't insane and retarded a substantial bunch were it seems, also those kids. Seemed like she froze up which is weird as fuck as she's a combatant. It could've went in a way where she had learned something previously against the technique but no, its was a massive death flag. |

| Christ, this show is on a roll with killing off the characters that we know and like. Last week was Nanami's last stand and for this episode, it was Nobara's turn to hit the buffers. =( Her backstory of what she was like when she was younger was cute, also showcasing how weird the village she grew up in was, which I can't blame her for wanting to get out of as soon as she could. Her chemistry with Fumi during that time was wholesome, as was the bond that they had with Saori, whose reminiscence about it during the present day only made Nobara's death more depressing. Poor Yuji can't avoid the constant trauma, so I see this fueling him to avenge Nobara in his ongoing fight against Mahito. Speaking of which, the production values of the episode itself was very good. Not only were the fight scenes more pleasing to look at compared to the inconsistency of the previous episode, but that production quality stayed strong during Nobara's backstory segment, too. All I want now is for Yuji to kill off Mahito, which the sooner, the better. It's a big ask considering how strong Mahito is, but that's what I want to see happen in the next episode. |
| No point in coping. She's dead and life is pain. |
| Damn, there goes my favourite |
 |
| I didn't know Mahito was built like this lol. Him and Jogo upgraded big time from season 1. As for the death, I know I should feel sadder but... We didn't see Nobara at all this season and then the moment she finally gets her moment to shine, she dies? To make matters worse, we just get a 5 minute + backstory slapped in there and it feels way too jarring. I'm just shocked is all. No Shounen series apart from CSM takes these many liberties with killing off characters. No one is safe and I kinda like it. Just don't overdo it or we'll have another CSM part 2 situation. Mixed feelings about this episode but I'm ready for whatever chaos ensues in the next. |

Reply to Danpmss
@SouthRzVa To be fair, at least the anime expanded upon her backstory, in the manga Nobara had pretty much nothing before getting offed like this.
| @Danpmss I don't know what to say... I'm simply disappointed with the wasted potential. |
Reply to Akihara_Jim
@SouthRzVa it's not for the audience, but actually for Itadori development. Next eps should open your eyes about this.. but yeah man, it's kinda a waste that Nobara died here. ๐
| @Akihara_Jim But it's already like the third time the author kills someone in front of Itadori for "development" purposes. I'm pretty sure there are better ways to develop your MC than killing off potentially good characters D: Or at least get rid of Nobara after she receives the same amount of screen-time as the other two protagonists. I don't know. |
| Last week Nanami gone.. Now it's Itadori teammate... With all those flashback of her... Guess she is dead isn't she? She's so weak fighting some normal human dude maybe because she isn't giving all of her best... She's fighting Mahito seems badass again... And there she goes... Focusing on Itadori and didn't realize Mahito approach her.. Itadori is going to be super pissed๐ฒ |

| IS THE AUTHOR SERIOUS? WHY KILL OF ONE OF YOUR BEST CHARACTERS AINT NO FKING WAY BR NOT HER ๐ญ |
