Tirihas said: DertyChewbacca said: Yeah, if you haven't read the manga, you won't understand the "dream". However, it is something to remember for the next season. It doesn't matter that it will pay off in 50 episodes, but how it fit into the pacing of today's episode. They felt the flashback was too slow and intrusive in an episode they already felt was slow and uninteresting. While I disagree with their opinions on the fight choreography, I noticed the way they lingered on the shots to be fairly drawn out. I think the anime's pacing is intentionally slow in order to finish the season with this arc. Based on the OP this will go just barely past the Tournament Arc. Also, we haven't even scratched the surface on the tournament. It literally just began. The pacing for JJK is and will be a bit slow this season. The "dream" was only a few panels, so I can agree it was a bit drawn out in the anime. |

Marugado said: EckhartPilgrim said: yeah lmao dude? "dull"? You serious? I know you probably feel like an anime expert, whose opinion is gold worth but get your head out of your ass and stop flaming about things that ain't even true. Even if, there is no need to say such harsh things that makes the production staff, who is doing this for US btw to give us a great experience,feel bad. And don't even try so start comparing the Anime with other anime because it's "shounen". Aight with that said, the powers will get more interesting indeedCan't believe they wasted 1 minute and 45 seconds on Toudou's "dream"... Like too often in shounen anime, feels like almost nothing happened in the episode. We already knew the other school students were going to try killing Itadori and were going to fail at it, and it was totally obvious Itadori was going to fight Toudou, since these two characters are the dumbest and strongest boys around when it comes to fight with fists. And like everytime with these kinds of fight, it was just dull. Big punches and air explosions or whatever don't make me feel excitement anymore. At least, judging from next episode preview it seems the other characters will be having a little action too, and I expect to see nice things hopefully. And by "nice things", I mean interesting powers/techniques used in an interesting, preferably strategical fashion, and not senseless beating like we saw in this episode. On a more positive note, the blue-haired girl confirms that she is a nice girl. Too bad she's in the other school and not in the protagonists' one. Yeah, me serious. Fist fights feel just boring to me. It's not a question of good or bad animation, JJK does have good animation and I don't say otherwise. And yeah, because of that I'm not really fond of Itadori as a protagonist since throwing kicks and punches is basically his way of fighting, despite his energy manipulating technique. I prefer other characters styles when it comes to how to fight, like Fushiguro with his familiars. That's just more appealing to me. Concerning Itadori and Toudou's fight, I was more interested in the clapping that can switches people places, if it is indeed Toudou's technique. It adds so many possibilities to the fight, many more than just throwing punches can do. But if it's really one of Toudou's techniques, I guess he only uses it when he gets serious or when there is real danger. |

I assume you're meaning 3DCG, since CGI actually applies to any graphic that was made using a computer. Nowadays 2D animation is as much CGI as 3D animation, they use computers a lot even for 2D. Concerning 3DCG, it depends. There is good 3DCG and bad 3DCG, just like there is good 2D animation and bad 2D animation. I'm totally ok with 3DCG the way it's done in shows like Houseki no Kuni or Beastars, but much less when it's done like in Ex-Arm lol |
| Todou labelling Yuuji as his best friend is hilariously random. I love the way Nobara and the panda taunted the blonde girl. Miwa is so sweet and adorable. I feel bad that she's stuck we her terrible group. |
 |
| Damn I was just getting used to it, and was getting fully immersed. |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
Short_Circut said: bruh maybe toudou x yuji was the OTP all along. Yuuji is the next Tomoda-kun :P Gekkan shoujo?? LMAO Toudou: "Yuji... You've always been there for me. So out of all the girls... I choose you!" |
| I love the fights!I love it that the storytelling is meticulously planned but its very consistent! I love the dialogues of the characters so far! The best one being Todou and Itadori ones. Awwe cute Miwa. I love her already, I symphatize with poor people and so I get her dreams, it was so practical. She uses swords! Damn, I love swords in anime fights. Its nice to see the oddities of the different characters, their weirdness is so cute! I love this episode because comedy was on point, fighting is on point, and girl character personalities on point! |
 |
| Toudou and Itadori became bros in such a short time it's hilarious. That Utahime and Gojou banter lol. Miwa is precious please protect her. |

So out of all the girls... I choose you!" yeeeeeee I can imagine this fight is just a grand setup for Toudou to realize his true feelings because Itadori has been by his imaginary side all this time |
 'On-Hold' is another way for a completionist to say 'Dropped' |
| Those damned Kyoto fuckers need to leave Yuuji alone!! |
 "Are you intoxicated, or just insane?" |
| Lmao at Toudo's fantasy about them being bffs just because Itadori likes a tall girl with a big ass. He may be a fucking twat but he shows respect to ppl he likes. |

Sure we got teased for the next arc, but we only saw It'd be rather strange to start season 2 with Obedience arc and then the Inventory arc and switch it's such a drastic change in the middle of a season so i think it's better to finish obedience in this season so we can start season 2 afresh Omertaskaya said: After watching this episode, I'm really curious about if they'll adapt the Death Painting arc or not. Opening teases some elements from that arc but that doesn't mean it's confirmed. For example, Fire Force also tease about a specific arc in the opening but they didn't adapt the arc in the season. Same situation might happen with this one too. They covered 3 chapters in this episode which makes the highiest paced episode of the season. If they continue with the same pacing maybe they can adapt the Origin of Obedience part. Since the upcoming chapters are action heavy, they might adapt that part. That's a good idea. It'd make more sense to start season 2 with the Hidden Inventory arc considering the huge shift in perspectives. AnimeNerd99 said: Also, can we talk about how even in a dream, Todou gets rejected? It's partially Yuji's fault lmao |
MKTun said: Sourire said: The first Mahito fight will be surpassed this arc.. You meant the ? If so,definitely yes |
 |
| LMAO at Toudou's dream. I felt like I was watching Gintama in those times Zura plays nonsensical scenarios in his head lol Great as always! |
 |
| The battle scene between Toudou and Yuuji was great |
 |
| Alright the Kyoto vs Tokyo Sister Competition Arc is in full swing! Starting off with some fresh Yuuji vs Todo fights, and damn Todo you really had to stop your whole team just to fight Yuuji. When megachad Aoi asks Yuuji the type of girl he desires, I already knew that his answer will be...JENNIFER LAWRENCE. Let's fucking go, and that is the start of Aoi and Yuuji's friendship!!! "Besto purendo (Best friend)" On the other hand, the other kids are fighting each other and our Tokyo students were quick enough to notice that their Kyoto counterparts are trying to kill Yuuji from their Principal's orders. Well atleast Maki and Miwa had some understanding and it seems like they're gonna have a nice and fair fight. We'll see how things will continue next week. Btw Gojou's really trying to say its Utahime but instead he blurted Miwa...what girl are you really eyeing for, Sensei?! |
 |
| To the cultured weebs out here. What is your type? I like flat-chested girls with dark hair! |
 |
| Great episode as always. I knew Toudou would take a liking to Yuuji and that flashback was funny and awesome at the same time. I wouldn't even mind if that was canon. xD Damn, Toudou single handedly asked the rest of the Kyoto team to back off, I'm definitely looking forward to this fight. It sounds like he doesn't like Yuuji's style of delayed attack impact, I wonder if that's because he senses that it could be even better. Miwa is my favorite from the Kyoto team so far. |
 |
| Amazing episode like usual today. The toudou vs Itadori fight was hilarious and this episode made me like miwa more than before. This episode honestly felt like 5 minutes |
 |
| In a show with a good amount of quality waifus, I think Miwa might take my best spot now lol. Also Toudou low key becoming one of my favorite characters. |
| MY BEST FRIEND!! Hell YEAH Todou x Yuuji is the best bonding ever. Finally someone they can fight all out. Zimmm said: Just wanna say that I’m in love with the new ED song Me too mate. Its awesome with Co Shu Nie singing something that's nostalgic than eerie. |
When someone asks me why I like anime, I'd say Just Because. |
| Wow just wow! The classic battle shounen finally begin. Okay, that animation fights mostly stunned me. Its smooth af. Never expect Itadori to said that right fuckin answer. That's why they both had, ehm, that kind of visual in the opening. Its already openned up Toudou's steal heart. That cry. Lol. He even showed up his cursed technique, and made that closed eyes guy to back off for a while. Very well done, and good thing that Toudou acted as a mentor too for Itadori. Such a classic attempt, and i clap for that. Just, how much surprises you provided me, there? Nah, it is still goin on. The next will be Panda action. Such a long time! Lets see how dope he can handle that robot, and most importantly, what happened to the others after that chaotic group battles that supposed to wipe out the cursed spirit? Jjk surely attract me much on these second cour. Can't say more.... |

| fun episode everyone out here using tired cultured memes while sure i can respect their taste as also a follower of the ass but lets talk about our girl Miwa shes really too kind to be doing this kind of stuff she just wants to support her fam lol. i kinda do wanna see their actually broship after all of this i dont doubt they'd get along even if it's one sided right now |
 |
| What a fantastic episode! This whole Yuuji x Toudou friendship is insane xD Miwa was basically the one that admitted that they were trying to kill him, but it's not like they needed confirmation. Can't wait for the next episode! The ED scene was so great. |
"There is no such thing as an Anime elitist. You watch Anime, therefore, you are trash by society's standards." |
| Eh, this was an ok episode. Didn’t really see the point of Toudou’s flashback. He was just making that up in his head? Idk. These tonal shifts are a bit concerning though. The whole reason I loved this series was because of the darker aesthetic. What happened to the tone of episodes 4 and 7?? Hell, actually most of what we’ve seen so far? I get that it’s a training arc but I’m not too sure about this episode. This episode is the weakest one so far. |

|
| I dont know why... but... These last two episodes, doesnt have the same energy than the first half... Clearly 1 level down right now.... I hope, the series recover and level up again. Again, episodes have been good, but not GREAT, like in first half. PS: i wish i was Sebastian Stan... MOMO<3 WE NEED MORE MOMOMENTS!!!! |
| killer episode ngl, highlight definitely has to be Toudou and Itadori's one on one by far. Kyoto students aren't fucking about, went straight for the kill, thank God the rest of the gang realized what was happening and went back. Honestly, really fucking love Toudou, he's honestly such a wildcard. Went from stomping Itadori's skull in, to creating rose-coloured artificial memories of the two being the best pals ever, what a lad. Also saved Itadori's ass from the Kyoto's attack and scared them off, i'm also assuming we saw his curse? With him and Itadori changing places? Pretty interesting shit. Oh and hands down the visuals for these two new founded friend's show down are fucking *chefs kiss* really fluent and well done, on top of the fucking killer OST that they're using. Jujutsu strolls never fail to amuse, i'm sure Miwa would be more then happy to know what Gojou's answer was xD Really looking forward to next episode and all the action, maybe surprise training for Itadori by Toudou? |

 "yabe." |
| This is by far, the worst episode of the entire anime, seriously, how low can any anime get down? The big fight between Itadori and Todo was nerfed because Itadori like big-ass girls, and he was saved from being a murdered by the exact same guy who was taking the shit out of him in the first place... and I have to believe this was a dangerous test to him? If the previous episode was anti-climatic, this episode just makes no sense. |
| A pretty underwhelming episode with one of the most boring tournament arc from a Shounen anime. There is not a sliver of tension. Are we supposed to believe that Yuuji is in any danger? He is the main protagonist. They already played that fake death card so even that is out of question here. The Todou vs Yuuji was fight was boring. They are fighting just because they're supposed to. There is no depth to it all. The combat itself lacks anydepth. All the moves consist of punching, kicking and punching with cursed energy. That's it. The way characters like to exposit their own actions that we just watched them doing is painful to watch. Like that assistant from Kyoto when she tries to slash Yuuji. Also, why is an assistant in the tournament? Isn't this supposed for the students? But I digress. The other example would be Todou explaining how Yuuji is fighting. Like, we can see that. No need to insult our intelligence. All the students in this tournament act so casually, it's hilarious. I wouldn't blame them though. They have no reason to take this seriously. This tournament has no stakes after all. All their dialogues and interaction are vapid and juvenile. Best example would be Panda and Nobara distastefully calling for Nishimiya. They don't even know her. But act like they do. 2/5. Put it in the background and you won't miss a thing. |
 |
Yuuji knows the best woman type. I approve |
| Ngl I didn't really like Todou when he first appeared but he's starting to grow on me. Not to mention his fight with Yuuji both looked and sounded awesome. Miwa still the most relatable character. I was expecting her to say guys like Gojou are her type lmao |
