Sheesh what a fight, it was intense and Mappa COOKED with the animation. Sure it's a shame that they had to do a lot of dimming since ya know, casually giving your audience seizures left and right is kind of a bad thing, but eh, we'll survive. That did very little to take away from my enjoyment of the action. That conversation Miwa had with the Mechamaru doll 😭😔😭 Mechamaru was never a favorite of mine but it's sad that he won't be able to go back to his friends.

The 2nd half of the episode served to set up the main event of the season, the long-awaited and highly anticipated Shibuya Incident. Last weeks episode and today's episode were simply appetizers, starting from next week until the end, it's a nonstop main course.

Also, I loved the anime-original content they added. I believe the scene where Mahito was quickly dodging the beams was original, and the last part of the fight right before it cut to the Miwa conversation was extended compared to how it happened in the manga. Also, actually seeing the people in Shibuya get sucked into the curtain was an original scene. I'm always a fan of extending fights and adding scenes that help flesh out the story.
@thebrentinator24 Weren´t those people sucked into the subway station underground? They were already inside the veil. At least that´s what I understood.

Great episode!

I'm sad for Mechamaru, but its demise was obvious.

I think last episode should have skipped chapter 64 and be all about this fight, ending with the narrator talking about the Shibuya incident. It would have had more sense.

A lot of Gurren Lagann references in this episode. The final shot of Muta trying to fight his last stand into Mahito was the same shot that Gainax used when Simon drilled the anti spiral in the movie.

Is it just me or was the fight with mahito vs Mechamaru very hard to follow? like the animation is fine ig but it wasn't as fluid or crisp as last season and the lighting just made my eyes hurt. Idk they tried to go over the top and it just didnt work in my opinion I hope other episodes are not like this 🤷🏾‍♂️

I just finished watching Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 Episode 7, and I have to say, I was blown away. The episode was action-packed, suspenseful, and emotional, and it did a great job of setting the stage for the upcoming Shibuya Incident arc.

The first fight is already over between Mechamaru and Mahito, it seemed to be equal near the end, but the latter had some tricks upon his sleeve. Mechamura literally went all out and it was probably also an affect of looking out for Geto that made him lose against Mahito. That dude went through all stages of transformations, shit was nasty LOL.
Aside from that, the animation sequence of him running through the forest was incredibly fluid and unique. But, some parts were alright. I did feel like this was some fucking fight scene from Gurren Lagann LOL.

Is it just me , or someone else thought the animation was not as smooth/fluid in some moments during the mechamaru vs mahito fight as compared to last season.Not saying it was not good. The budget and time must have been gone to animate the Shibuya fight scenes.
Very excited for gojo's arrival and upcoming episodes.

This episode felt like a mix of old school mecha (80s), old school battle shounen (Hokuto no Ken and DBZ style static panels), Evangelion, Gurren Lagann, Attack on Titan all together. Crazy.

Tbh, given it was on a break, although the combat was great I had no idea what the fuck was going on of the past. Normally when something breaks, Ill rewatch last one to catch up but Thurs is packed with peak anime and I have to goto work tomorrow. So my curent experience was some robot guy fights some other guy with frankstein like experience. Loses. Then tokyo shinjku gets put under massive area. And im still wondering who any of the people are but seeing panda in the eps because hes been in loads of previous eps little synopsis in memory sparked. And then with seconds to spare Gojou steps though the wall. And im like thank fuck, this is Jujustu kaisen and if Gojue here, shit is going to kick off next episode and I dont even need to worry there was a break and I forgot shit or characters because best boy is here to make it all right

Banger episode to start what appears to be the "arc of all arcs". I´m not a manga reader, so i hope this season really is what the hype has been promising all this time.
The fight was amazing, I hope every fight we get gets the same treatment, at least. But I got to say it felt a little odd seeing a robot fight in JjK, it made this look like a mecha anime.
As to Kokichi, hears our first casualty from Shibuya, since Shibuya wouldn´t have happened if he had won. I don´t know how his death was portrayed in the manga, but i wish the anime had made it more obvious. There was a few comments here and there might people who are going to be left guessing if he really died.
Anyway, who got the teams outside of the Shibuya veil ready to get into action, although some members are still absent. Where are "besto friendos" Yuji and Todo? Are they with Toge? Is everyone from the Kyoto school going to be summoned too? The situation seems to require every sorcerer possible.
Another painful week of waiting.

Terrible. No lead in to the beginning of the story. I have no idea what that fight was to accomplish. Then the final 10 minutes was just filler. This is how an anime doesn't meet expectations and ends up with a 5 or 6.

@Dan_ALves the point is not to kill them, it's a Conspiracy, they'll use the people. Why? How?

If you want to know I'll tell you but It'll be a Major Spoiler, might ruin Shibuya for ya, especially ep 8-11...... do you want to know?? Because you're gonna see in the next episode anyway.....

Just pure cinema, don't know how else to put it. I haven't watched any retro mecha anime like Evangelion or Gurren Lagann, but even I could tell it had that style to it. The dimming didn't really ruin things for me, though I will admit some bits weren't very visible, but that's totally fine. Excited for the start of the Shibuya Incident next week!

Rip Mechamaru I didn't care about you at all, but at least in death you gave us a Gurren Laggan refrence. The fight with Mahito was good, but I'm gonna be honest I couldn't see half of it because of the lighting and special effects.

Finally all the buildup is done. Let the Shibuya Incident begin.

I sadly expected Mechamaru to lose the fight against Mahito but holy crap was it awesome, lots of amazing visuals throughout the whole fight and of course the fight itself was sick, definitely reminiscent of Evangelion which just adds to the coolness. I really wanted to see Mechamaru win but it was at least satisfying seeing Mahito get his shit rocked lol. Poor Miwa tho, said all that stuff and didn’t even know Mechamaru had already left us (assuming he’s actually dead), it’s also a shame too because he just got his new look only to be done in immediately, he went down swinging tho.

And looks like the Shibuya stuff is starting for real now on the best holiday of the year, those folks that got sucked into the void are damn unfortunate but at least Gojo did finally show up for those at the walls, only downside is this is exactly what the villains want. I’m really looking forward to where it goes from here, I’m guessing the sorcerers on standby aren’t gonna be on standby for long lol. And lastly, even after the 2nd listen the ED still destroys the OP, I think it is slowly growing on me tho.

I suppose the scene with Miwa afterward confirms it. That's just tragic for Mechamaru. When he finally got what he wanted too, a normal body.

what's really sad is it seemed like miwa would have accepted him regardless and he loved miwa too

Battle was impeccable and really good visually. Just a pity Mechamaru never caused a big impact on me, so I didn't care much about his death. Didn't help it was obvious he was going to lose the fight from the get-go.

@Anayan_Kashyap No, then don´t tell me then. I´ve been spoiled about 2 or 3 things and that´s more than enough. And thank you for asking instead if just saying it right away.
All this time I thought it would be like a terrorist attack, where they just kill people for the destruction and mayhem. This actually makes it more interesting.

Mechamaru gave it his all unleashing nearly two decades of cursed energy at Mahito but it wasn't enough. Of course he couldn't take down Mahito like that, Mahito is a very slippery fish and not so easily killed. The animation for those short bursts of actions especially when Mechamaru laser beam was chasing Mahito looked incredible. Some of the best in the whole series thus far, I hope they cam show out for the craziness later. Mechamaru did betray everyone but in the end he tried to take out a deadly opponent to Jujutsu society and get the message to Gojo. He didn't succeed but the love in his heart for everyone was strong. Mahito and Geto having something special lined up for Shibuya. Something that has been in the works with them for a long time to stop the most powerful one Satoru Gojo. Seeing the natural atmosphere at Shibuya on Halloween on all nights was very eerie. All those regular people just having a good night in a popular part of the city only for things to get really weird really fast. Dropping that veil around the district not letting regular people out, having them all ask for Gojo by name to draw him in. Things are about to get interesting.

I’m uninterested in mechamaru. The giant mech is out of nowhere; does not at all vibe with the world. The dude has kirito’s VA, which doesn’t help. Anytime I hear him yell or scream, I can’t take him seriously. And yeah, why not send a message to someone before they put the veil up? That was kind of dumb of him.

Everything in episodes 1-5 was genuinely interesting and made me care about the characters and the plot. Almost everything in the current timeframe from season one is so forced and cliche, which means it’s an uphill battle to get me invested in anything from that part of the story. Really hoping what I just saw does not continue. Also, I hope they don’t expect me to care about the characters all that much aside from Gojo and Getou. If I see the others in risky scenarios, I ain’t gonna care.
