| 4 out of 5 Dude........Mr. Handsome (Junpei) turned into a fucking ugly monster. I don't think he'll be able to turn back into a human. I really liked Nanami's character + he is OP af + voiced by Tsuda Kenjirou |
My Candies:           |
| Man Itadori looking almost like Mob in his 100% form right there |
 |
| Sakuna is the coldest character. The way he's just on the throne and calling the antagonist a fool and when he rejected Yuji |
 |
| that was one of those episodes so good that it feels short! |
I think I don't know wtf I'm doing. Maybe. Probably. |
| Noo not Junpei too 😥 Itadori fight with his own power and not body swap with Sukuna... God damn the Sakuga Animation is pretty Lit... What a Great Episode, Action Packed, Intense moment, and also Emotional.... |
 |
| I really liked the fighting scene and Sukuna is OP af, not even Mahito can touch his soul eheh ...honestly, I'm still hoping for a Junpei's comeback, but my hopes are pretty low |
| Wow, I loved this episode. It was really good. I actually can't believe I thought Yuuji was going to be able to save Junpei and let him join the academy and everything. It was so satisfying when he punched that knobhead in the face. Their fight was incredible. I think the best thing about this anime are the fights, because holy shit. It really is as simple as good animation and good choreography. You could really feel Yuuji's seething rage at the start of the fight as well. |
| Even though the emotional scenes this episode felt increadibly forced and the "deep" dialogue was kinda cringy, I really didn't expect them to kill Junpei off. That was the first thing I didn't see coming in this anime and I am really glad smth unexpected finally happened :) Good episode overall, I'm excited to see the fight next time. |
There's no possible way you can steal my heart    I want to drown in this sweet Melancholy |
| The art in this episode was stunning. I'm so glad a story about the supernatural colliding with the ordinary is willing to be unusual with its art in large moments. With art direction like that, this series has the chance to develop into a classic. And while Mahito's cursed technique doesn't work on our MC, it seems his plot armor is strong as ever- what with the holes that have been punched clean through his torso. |
 |
| Yuuji vs. Junpei is finally here!! I feel so bad for Junpei. I was not expecting Junpei to get transformed, but Mahito deserved that punch. Yuuji fighting Mahito was interesting, but I'm glad Nanami showed up. Now, I'm really excited to see them fight Mahito. |
 ｡*✲ﾟ*♡(o•ᴗ•o)♡*✲ﾟ*｡ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ |
| Junpei dying is a massive shock considering that he was in the opening. Itadori pissed off was really exciting to watch. |
 |
| such greatness this episode! 5/5!!! |
 |
| Trying my hardest not to go on the wiki and see if that really killed junpei but I think I already know the answer :( |
 |
| So is Junpei actually dead? I mean, the series already killed Yuuji once so I still have my doubts there. Not to mention that having an entire arc focused on a new character only to get rid of him immediately after would be kinda disappointing to say the least. Anyways, another entertaining episode in terms of action. It's a shame Mahito is becoming less and less interesting with each passing week tho. |
| Holy, this episode was amazing omgggg, had my heart pounding there was so much in it |
| Expectation, subversion! Junpei's death definitely caught me off guard. I wasn't sure how to feel about it at first, but now I can say this- this is definitely anime of the season. |
 |
| I hate both Mahito and Junpei since they both wanted to kill people for their goals or satisfaction and that doesn't I mean I support this act of killing... those who kill the innocent shall be punished!!! Mahito has manipulated and used Junpei let's see how the Jujutsu sorcerer deal with him. Looking forward for more! |

| lots of action this episode, F for Yoshino. By the time he realised what he was saying and doing, Mahito got his ass good. Rn everything so far seems to be falling into Mahito and the other sorcerers plan, unless Itadori can compromise, i don't know how he'll get outta this one. Sukuna god damn, when it's a battle of whos the better antagonist, Sukuna knows how to play. Dude went from pointing and laughing at Itadori with Mahito, to giving Mahito first hand PTSD for the rest of his life. Nanami coming in clutch last minute. Although Itadori might have taken 2 hits from Yoshino's curse and probably has poison following through his veins, many puncture wounds to his hands and probably a few to his vital organs as well as minor blunt force trauma, my predictions would be that fucking concrete boulder Mahito transformed his arm into, would knock Itadori out cold at best. Looking forward to what happens next. |
 "yabe." |
| Rage Yuji is the best Yuji. |
 |
| Bro, ANIME OF THE YEAR RIGHT HERE. What a fucking good episode, i'm holding myself so much to not watch the next one now. I knew this was gonna be fire, but holyyyyyy |
| I wasn't expecting Junpei to die that was such a rough episode |
| This was definitely one of the best episodes of this series. I really feel bad for Junpei. He didn't deserve to die. I really hoped for this to happen:  Also, Itadori snapped. He said the words he swore he'd never say. Damn!!  Definitely a 10/10 Episode!! |
 |
| Sukuna is boss. Nanamin shows up to save the day and how sad, Junpei died. |
| Mahito has shown his true color to Junpei who have realized waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay to late how bad of a being Mahito really is. It's so easy to manipulate someone who is in pain, especially one that believes everything told to him. This is his downfall, Junpei and his mother's death. Man seeing the OP over and over again and seeing Junpei hanging out with the Jujutsu students together made me wish such a thing will come true. But reality says otherwise as what's left of Junpei breath out his last comprehensible word... "Why?" A friend's death, the failure to save these 2 individuals and the fact that the curse he used to rely on are laughing alongside his current enemy at Yuuji himself... This is the kind of furious rage that boils your blood Yuuji's punch to Mahito is so goddamn satisfying, as a curse with immense power and versatile power, he still holds the advantage over Yuuji even if Yuuji could directly affect the soul. But nothing stops Yuuji from beating the shit outta Mahito's scarred face. The fuck outta here with your playdough-like human editor mode. That shit won't work on Yuuji! This is the most intense fight so far, with the most amount of emotion involved as well. I love it. |
  |
| By the looks of Mahito's plan, Yuji hasn't made a pact with Sukuna yet??? I thought healing his heart was part of the plan or are people capable of making multiple pacts with a curse? I wanna spoil myself so bad to see if Junpei's actually dead or not because introducing a new character only to kill him a few episodes later is just..... I do like the whole structure of this arc though. It just lacks enough buildup to effectively make an impact on the viewers. I do like that part where Sukuna was laughing at Yuji begging him for help though. At least we know this guy doesn't just pop out to save the day. For now that is. Fight was great per usual. |

It just lacks enough buildup to effectively make an impact on the viewers. What's wrong with killing a character after a few episodes? If that said character's arc is done, if he wasn't meant to be important and if the death pushs the story forward then there's no reason to keep the character around just for the sake of it. I don't think there is a predefined number of episodes necessary before killing a character. |

Yeah leave it at that, bye. |

| Looks like the opening trolled me. Junpei was going to join to the Tokyo Metropolitan Jujutsu Technical High School according to the opening but in the end he died. |
| All weebs creatures of the galaxy, hear this message. Those of you who listen will not be struck by western animation. You will no longer know hunger, nor pain. Your Anime have come to lead you now. Our strength shall serve as a luminous sun toward which all intelligence may blossom. And the impervious shelter beneath which you will prosper. However, for those who refuse our offer and cling to their western animation ways… For you, there will be great wrath. |
| Junpei :'( fuck, as a side character, he was so cool, too. aaaaargh. Mahito trying to touch Sukuna's soul gave me chills. What a cool ass moment that was. I'm 12 episodes into this shit and it is still RIDICULOUSLY cool. If this was mere novelty, it would've worn off. This show is clearly the real deal and will cement itself in the upper echelon of shounen. |

| That confrontation with Sukuna was so damn satisfying. |
