I still loved the fight It was just different from what I’m used to in JJK. This episode goes so hard

Toji's mind had been twisted. His basic urges told him simply to go after the strongest. But when he regained control for a moment and thought about his son, he was filled with joy to know that Gojo kept his promise. Megumi wasn't a Zenin. He hadn't been sold off. And thus, to both protect his son if he lost control again and relief that his last wish before his death had been fulfilled, Toji took his own life. What a phenomenal character. Now, onto the main event. Sukuna vs JoGOAT. A lot of people were surprised at how Jogo speed blitzed Maki, Nanami and Noabito. But he's powerful. Had he gone up against a 2 or 3 finger Sukuna, he would've wiped the floor with him. He's about as strong as 8 or 9 fingers of Sukuna's power. But unfortunately, he fought Sukuna at 15 fingers. Nearly double the amount of power in fingers than the estimate "Geto" told him he was capable of. But even then, even Sukuna admits that some of Jogo's attacks would've still done damage if they had hit. Had it been against a 10 or 11 finger Sukuna, he would've struggled but he might've actually been able to land a hit. It wasn't that Jogo was weak, he just had the misfortune of facing the strongest sorcerer and the king of curses at nearly full power. Stand proud, Jogo. You're strong. Being complimented by the King Of Curses doesn't come easy. Now, Hanami, Dagon and Jogo have all moved on. Until they one day are born again. They have entrusted everything to Mahito.

@mr.beanladen1469

I do think that even though Jogo is as strong as 8-9 Sukuna fingers, at a generous estimate, that is only in terms of Cursed Energy. I believe he will still lose due to Sukuna’s techniques and possibly, get one-shotted with a single “Cleave” technique.

Brosquito's, I totally get what you're saying with the "lower budget thing". I would've thought so too, but on a previous job my company contracted some animators and I learned a lot about animation styles. Don't feel discouraged by the comments, just learn about the animation styles (CGI use, hand-drawn, shadows, all that stuff), you'll start figuring out how to engage on that side of things differently. I do wish Mappa would give their series' an extra year between seasons so their teams would have more time to work on things, and their animators could be in a happier state of mind by having real time off to see their families. The industry is so demanding with all these mangaka's having health issues and stuff, it needs to have some kind of unionization or standards for health.

Everyone: The animators cooked. The best episode animation wise. Gek boys: it's the worst we have seen from them in the entire series. Well nothing against the boys and i can understand they feel this way bcoz they aren't accustomed to this style of doing things as it's different from the staple jjk animation. But just for every anime only watchers trust me the animators really give this series more than what you can imagine. I don't remember seeing such a great adaptation ever. Just for context They added almost thrice the content in the megumi toji fight and many more details in the sukuna and made both toji and sukuna more majestic. And dont get me started on the direction of these scenes.

I won‘t comment on the animation since that has been mentioned a billion times already. I wanna just say how much I liked the philosophical deep talk Sukuna had with Jogo for a moment there. Makes me love Sukuna even more, I was prepared for him to be a heartless cruel (but hot) motherfucker and now we get to more insight on his mentality and stuff. Also I love that for Jogo, all he wanted was to be recognized and seen and the King of all curses gave him that.

(In which case, the strongest was Chainsaw Man) Seriously, off-model faces with pretty much standard, at times, wonky animated movement compared to intentionally fluid motion displayed from the debris, effects and character expression? There's no justification here. Sure, maybe the scene with Kusakabe and Panda could've used more stronger character drawings, but the end result is still solid and definitely isn't comparable to Hell's Paradise. But Sukuna vs Jogo and Toji vs Megumi has much more sakuga value than Hell's Paradise entire season, as much as I love the story, the production value and animation overall is bog standard, good at times, but more often, inconsistent.

The Yuta slander is egregious. He took down a special grade sorcerer with 6 months of experience. He’s been away training this whole time. Just wait

It is a different art style and sometimes experiencing a new art style can be jarring and you can misinterpret it. The same concept applies to painted art. Imagine all you’ve seen is Michaelangelo and someone rolls up and is like “yo check out this Picasso.” You’re gonna be like dude, what? I hate this. But then later, the more you see it and understand it, you appreciate it in a different way. 💜

Also while I’m not the biggest fan of the animation this episode, the panda scenes were definitely intentional, it was just to show some lighthearted goofiness (how he normally is) which is what that whole section with him and kusakabe (his partner) was doing, cuz his partner was also complaining about not wanting to do anything even tho the situation is very clearly not a joking one.

So that’s why it seems so “inconsistent”-ish However this was for sure the most well animated episode of this season, and I heard next episode will be even better😭🙏

i know people are saying it a lot but yall saying the animation was downgraded is insane its a change in art style to be less detailed which makes it easier to create insane fights like this as it also allows different directors to come in and add more personal flair.

this episode is so sad for me bc its the last time megumi sees his dad and he doesn't even know it :(((

With how they animated all of Jogos moves, I really want Jogo as a final boss in an action RPG now. Imagine him rising into the sky, debris being sucked into the huge meteor he's forming as he stares you down, holding a god damn meteor with one hand while the entire city is flooding with lava.

The animation quality was meant to look like that it was jus a art style change from what it looks like.Probably cuz there’s a lot of hand to hand and they focused more on the fluidity for the fights

The animation was probably the best it has been i the whole series, its just a different artstyle, its ok if yall don't like it but animation wise the ep was 15/10.

The raw animation was incredible this episode. It's just that it wasn't polished enough so that's why it looked rough in some scenes

I love these videos bc I feel like I’m watching with them and it makes it so exciting

Usually high-budget episodes have specific director/animators assigned to them that have a more unique style. Which is why the animation style often changes from episode-to-episode. This is really high quality animation, coming from someone who pays a lot of attention to animation and is learning it. Episode 2x15 and 2x14 are lower budget episodes and 2x13 is high budget, that episode is probably the some of the best animation I've seen.

I think it’s interesting that Mahito’s name in Japanese actually means ‘true human’

This episode was FIRE! Literally 🔥 First of all, damn Toji is really HIM! Such as badass and it kinda sucks to see him go, but at least he stopped himself from harming Megumi any further. Though I wish he would have talked to him some more. Then boom Shigemo comes out of nowhere and slashes our boy. I knew the bastard was still alive. Kusakabe has got to be the most realistic and relatable character. It was cool to see him interact with Geto’s “Family” who I definitely wanna see more of as well. That battle between Sukuna and Jogo was nothing short of nuts! Not sure if this was the actual “Incident” but I think melting and blowing up the city would constitute as one. Kinda had me feel for Jogo at the end though, but it was his misfortune to go against such monsters. Though him being recognized as strong was cool and hearing how Mahito can get stronger was interesting. Sukuna just crashes anything he wants even if it’s a meeting in the afterlife 😆 He’s really at the top of the food chain and I really want to know more about his abilities and what he said to Jogo. Apparently he seems to know the bowl cut person, who’s finally been named. Don’t know what the hell that curse was at the end, but Shigemo can get bodied for all I care. I hope our Jujutsu High people are alright and I need the next episode to get here already!

Toji dominating those rabbits gave me goosebumps & that music! 🔥

Your logo is so sick! Great job on the design!

This is by far the greatest episode of animation up until this point. I get that people don't understand the different style, but hearing them say that it's a less-budget downgrade really hurts me.

this animation sacrifices detail to show fluidity and have enough fps, if you animate such fast paced combat with lots of detail it would take months, and an episode has very strict production limit of 1 week

Reminds me when people were complaining about Naruto vs Pain animation. But I absolutely love that type of animation in super fast paced fights

THIS EPISODE WAS CRAAAZZZYYYY love your reactions !! 😁😁

Shootout to all animators of Mappa this year, they have chainsaw man, hell paradise, JJK even Aot in their production but still deliver us their best effort to animate all of these. Mappa better gives them the rest they needed & decent amount of payment after all these masterpieces.

Toji immediately back in off when he stabbed megumi and realized that this boy was his son in that moment was so sad, and then asking megumi for his name - I truly think that he would have still killed himself even if megumi said “megumi zenin” instead of “megumi fushigoro” because Toji would realized Megumi was sold off by HIMSELF - obvi Toji can’t blame Megumi for that he was a child, I do think Toji would have killed himself either way but he was happy when he died because he realized gojo kept his promise - also I love how Tojis eyes went back to white - I also don’t get how Megumi didn’t recognize him - Toji looks the exact same as when Megumi was a kid, I mean Toji was an adult then and now he’s his dad 😭

jack doing 10 clapping pushups is the most underrated thing in this video, case closed.

the animation was just drawn in a simpler way in order to make the fighting movements more fluid, it’s an animation style

Maybe because you're not familiar with this kind of art style animation. But for me this one of the best episode from JJK team, this and choso fight. Cannot wait to see next episodes tho

Dude they got across just how crazy strong Jogo is soooooooo much better then in the manga and by extent how crazy strong Sukuna is. Jogo actually jumped up in terms of villians in this series after this for me.

@Emperor_Zurg

8 ай бұрын

The animators were ragging on their own work because the studio didn’t give them enough time to finish so you’re really just defending MAPPA’s abusive ass

They want their character designs to remain intact when, in fact, they are fighting at very high speeds. Of course, they will appear somewhat distorted. This is not a downgrade or anything; it's an art style that the animators have arrived at to convey speed and power. This is pain vs. Naruto all over again, bruhh.

This is why I love sukuna. He is very evil but he respects power and the hierarchy that comes with it. He has his own ideals n lives according to his own pleasure.

In the manga it's a little more clear that Megumi suspects him of being his dad due to what the old drunk zen'in said in the domain. so he has a suspicion

This episode was unbelievable. Top tier animation. Probably my favourite so far from the Shibuya arc but knowing what's coming I fully believe the upcoming episodes are going to top even this one. Cannot wait 🙌❤️‍🔥

Once i heard them say the animation was a downgrade i knew i had to come to the comments 😂. They gon have to address it on the next JJK reaction

Sukuna full on just roasted Jogo before roasting Jogo

Don't worry, even I, a Japanese, felt uncomfortable with the animation.🤣 Of course the animators are wonderful. It doesn't change the fact that we all love this animation in common.💗 I am looking forward to the next video! (I used the translate function, so sorry if my English is bad)

Well, I'm with you guys on this one. You shouldn't have to apologize if your first impression was that the quality felt worse. I've been watching anime for about 15 years, I've watched a good hundred shows, among which are shows like Naruto Shippuuden which kept switching artstyle left and right, sometimes literally on a weekly basis. So I know this kind of "sacrifice art for animation" style, and while it's appropriate to appreciate the effort that went into those episodes, and as a standalone episode, it surely contained a lot of animation feats, saying that it felt off compared to the rest of the show shouldn't get you cancelled in the comments lol. There were so many off-model shots, character outlines changing and overall artstyle that felt distracting even with great animation happening. I disliked it with Naruto and I dislike it here. I think consistency is better, and you can be consistent AND have great animation, after all we don't need to look too far for an example, which were the first Gojo episodes of this season.

The action and the destruction does not slow down during the next couple of episodes 😂

The entire anime community: Some of the best animation ever made! Gek: eh looks rushed

About the whole animation conversation, I think you guys were just unlucky for not knowing about the issue yet (especially the jokes about the budget at jogo and sukuna part, yikes, not good at all guys), and bad timing because there were directors of other episodes who were degrading their own work and sounding very stressed out (like they're having a breakdown), and literally asked to be left alone when that ep was aired. Besides I don't get anyone that say this ep is bad either, like, the cinematography is so good? Compositioning and timing and the dynamic in the animation movement? As an art student, *chef kiss*. I think Miso's (this ep's director) style enhanced the author's energy well, might even be better if they were given even just a bit more time with their team

10:56 That's Uraume they were first shown in Season 1 episode 21 and they were shown again at the beginning of Episode 10 of this season. Gege hasn't confirmed Uraume's gender but they're presumed to be a female by most of the community.

"Downgrade the animation" "They were just spending less money" I hate when mfs act like they know what their talking about and are just straight up wrong. Its a different style of animation and it was better then anything we have gotten so far.💀

Sukuna was having an absolute blast. That man was having just as much fun as when Palpatine fought Maul and Savage

Ngl I usually love your guys' takes but the animation wasn't a downgrade. It was made moreso so the fights look as smooth and fluid as they are. If you watched Mob Psycho for example, it utilizes it throughout that entire series. If it was detailed like last season, then the fights wouldn't be as wide scaled while also looking as smooth as it does.

Idk about downgrade... But it was something like simplifying the design so the fight could come out more fluid But at the same time.. apparently Mappa has some shit going on with this season jjk release where the freelance animators/ directors are complaining about the bad management, time frame, resources provided, etc. Some crazy shit about having to sign nda to not publicly complain.

Every studio has NDA bruh. If you're being contracted by a studio, you're not supposed to speak about it loud. What happened to this season is lack of time. It had everything but time.

Yall are so annoying. Why should they have to apologize if they thought the animation looked bad? Everyones allowed to have an opinion and make criticisms. Thats what makes art, art. In their opinion it looked worse and its as simple that. Do you want to them to lie and say it looks good if they genuinely dont believe so? Plus theyre not necessarily wrong, the motion itself was good but the character designs were definitely lacking and hardly defined. Obviously I dont blame the animators cuz theyre short on time so I get it, but lets not act like its not there.
