For the insert song theme it might not seem like the best choice if you do not know what the lyrics mean. I was looking on Japanese Twitter and people loved that scene and thought it was the best part of the episode. I got to listen to the English version of this song because they said that it makes you really well with what was going on.

I want the staff to take a break SOO bad after this ep, the work put in was amazing. I don't want the animation to decrease in quality.

This 💯💯. Dunno how he missed that one, the narrator already explained it in the episode.

Sukuna is what every “boy possessed by evil spirit” anime was afraid to do. There’s no taming Sukuna. There’s no controlling him through empathy. He can nuke a heavily populated city with absolutely no second thought and Yuji has zero control of it. There’s no reasoning with him because unlike a tailed beast or a demon from other shows, empathy is just not a thing Sukuna has ever had. He’s 100% irredeemable and he’s proud of it. What an absolutely brutal episode. So glad the writer wasn’t afraid to go 100% bleak. I’m honestly questioning if very many people are going to escape this rescue operation alive. Poor Yuji.

The theme's lyrics "You are my special." is the equivalent of "You are my plaything". Guess what Yuji is to Sukuna? That's why it fit. It's cruel.

Strongly disagree on the OP playing over the ruins of Shibuya. the lyrics match the fucked-upness of the situation while also showing Sukuna's, JJK's, and Gege's complete disrespect for Itadori's sanity and everything else, really. playing the OP while Itadori has a mental breakdown in the background has really good "Go Fuck yourself" Energy.

when sukuna uses his domain expansion which continuously attacks mahoraga as a guaranteed hit, as mahoraga tries to adapt to the domain attack, at the same time sukuna uses another attack that with enough enough intensity that can cause enough damage to kill him. basically attacking him before he can adapt to a previous ability

This is more telling us what happened in the episode rather than analysis. Assuming your viewers have watched the episode coming into this video, lots of time is spent retelling what we’ve seen in the episode rather than giving new insights. Well done video regardless.

Malevolent kitchen. As crunchy roll subtitles said lol😂

Yuji breaking down with specialz playing in the background with a montage of the new state of Shibuya and the actions of sukuna was just crazy

i love the opening part it is the best part beside the domian expansion

I liked the OP playing over Yuji's breakdown as I took it to be saying "This is only the beginning" in the most sadistic way

Agreed music at the end was not the right choice.

10:30 true... The thing with any character that's a true warrior is that it doesn't matter wether they're perceived good or bad. It's thier strength that generates respect overall.

I think I rewatched this episode around 3 times, there were a couple of people on reddit complaining that the animation frames were too rough and they were genuinely disappointed... but for me, my jaw was hanging on the floor for the entire 20min, and it makes me think that some of the fandom is either really toxic, or has some unheard of standards for animation xd. (I'm not a reader of the manga, maybe it's better like that I dunno.) Anyways for the time they had available, ez 10/10

How a plane crashed inside a veil

Great and smooth animation???? WTF NO! I can clearly see that low frame rate and theese rough lines on the characters. The episode is VERY raw and needs much more time in the oven. I just wanna to Mappa to understand that humans arent machines. Animators have to get to vacation and they need a lot more time to animate theese episodes. JJK is supposed to be one of the greatest anime but with mappa's managment I'm afraid thats not going to happen.

My thought on the whole popcorn suspended in air scene was basically mahoraga grabing sukuna so fast and smashing him against the building that we the viewer couldnt see it cuz it was so fast. Then the popcorn flows with the wind created by mahoraga which was delayed because of how fast he swooped in. My thoughts, i could be wrong. Edit:grammer

So good that you also agree that last week was a weird episode. Good animation, but weired. Had to fight a lot last week for that take

Vincent chansard said he will never work with mappa again after this ep

Though it is wrong these CEOs dont care about the anime. They care about money. Fans can't seem to understand that they only care about algorithms and logistics. If they could they would scrap the whole team and reset tk get things done when they wanted. They arent sentimental because this isn't their art. Their art is building companies that generate money and keep building.

Bro sukuna goes brrrrrrr

To add. Sukuna reduced the radius to 140 so Megumi won't be affected

Mappa emplyees: Time to quit

The last 3 episodes have seen a dramatic decline in quality. Since Megumi vs Toji you can see the wear that the release schedule has taken on MAPPA animators. Compared to the animation quality of Toji vs Gojo or Choso vs Yuji its noticeable. Still a great job but hopefully MAPPA can work out an agreement before they get to Hinami vs Yuji or the Culling Games.

You can see the drop off in animation in this episode. They have done such a good job so far making the fights large scale without being overwhelming. This was overwhelming. It was spam of colors and stills and It just didnt hit for me.

look i cant wait for 2 - 3 YEARS of my life for the jkk 0 movie and 4 months is acceptable only if there was a new employe staff for that movie and tbh why the cant make a rotation of employes edit btw the animation for the new ep looks nice only if it was from the start and more effort into it or is was fan made

I'm disagree. The animation was smooth, but looking at the drawing, I can't help but thinking that they actually didn't have enough time to fully finished the ep.

last week episode was a jjk episode but today? it's naruto kind of episode.

just a little incident. whoops sorry guys.

Mad ppl had to have died during that fight

Can we ask why the translations are so bad. “Makora” is definitely “Mahoraga”. I think the kitchen aspects of the translation are supposed to play into the theme that sukuna is either a food critic or a chef himself. I’ve always had this theory but now I think it makes more sense. Sukuna is a master Chef in the art of jujutsu. Cleave and dismantle represent how he cuts and dissects a technique. I think the brain thing said something about how “a cursed technique is a person world view”. Maybe this means the way you see yourself in the world is directly related to your technique itself. Sukuna sees himself as a master of jujutsu like a chef.
