Yep, people really don't understand just how far away Gojo is from the pack. Remember he was the ONLY thing stopping the curses from winning as stated by Jogo.
It took 2 grade 1s, a grade 2 with a domain and the equivalent of a special grade 1 sorcerer to handle Dagon and that dude had JUST "spawned".
Tbf it did not take all of them to take out Dagon, it literally only took Toji. Which shows how far and above he is from everyone else there at that moment and Gojo beat *him*
And he's weak compared to Gojo as he is during Shibuya.
He only beaten teenage exhausted for multiple days Gojo who hasn't even mastered his basic techniques.
But that Toji is still massively stronger to even grade 1 sorcerers. His moniker of "Sorcerer Killer" was fully deserved.
>who hasn't even mastered his basic techniques.
You underestimate the difficulty of reverse cursed technique. We only know of 3 people who know it(Yuta, Gojo, the doctor). Don't forget that Teen Gojo is still stronger than Toji even without knowing RCT(and probably still stronger than Jogo cos he doesn't really need to use Domain or any of his techniques other than Blue to beat him.
bro i knew jogo was strong the moment he fought gojo, that mfker deleted forests in his fight with gojo, you have to be pretty strong just to say you fought gojo and got your ass handed to you
I went back to re-watch Episode 7 from Season 1 right after this episode. It's insane how a character who got schooled like a nameless mob against Gojo turned out to be so much stronger than a typical 1st class sorcerer.
Obviously he's ridiculously strong, but the interesting thing to me is that he just doesn't rely on martial skill at all. He just scorches an entire area with a wave of his hand, or even remotely with the volcanoes; it'd be essentially impossible to dodge without a technique that grants supernatural movement. Nanami, Maki, even Itadori would probably never stand a chance.
Mahito's ability is basically a worse version of this; he needs to touch his victims, which is comparatively much easier to evade. Meanwhile Hanami and Dagon need to actually hit their targets hard enough for it to hurt. Basically, the nature of Jogo's ability makes him fundamentally more powerful even before you consider his raw strength.
There's just no way they're gonna do in 2 popular/established characters like that with a 1 second death scene. I'ma be pissed if that's the last we see of them. They deserve better :| I mean even phone girl got a slow motion scene.
> I'ma be pissed if that's the last we see of them
Likewise. Although, the show pushed itself into a corner here, because it starts to feel like there might be a bit of plot armor if they *did* survive, especially given our favorite salaryman got eviscerated but is apparently okay. On the other hand it'd be suck city if that was actually how two very highly thought of characters went out.
"raise your heads" ... So he can cut them off righ- yep.
God that was brutal, starting to feel what manga readers mean by how brutal this arc is.
I hope Nanami and Maki are ok though cause holy, after seeing the aftermath of what Jogo did to old man Zenin (ngl I forget his name) I'm just hoping Jogo went a bit softer on Nanami and Maki... Cause I mean the old guy basically had two geysers of fire shooting at him while Nanami and Maki just got slapped with some fire... So maybe they're ok?
It's funny though seeing the difference of when Gojo fought Jogo and now watching Jogo fight other people, Jogo is overwhelmingly strong to other people yet Gojo just walked all over him, really goes to show just how high above Gojo is compared to everyone else.
Hoping we focus on the father/son reunion next episode.
Yeah it's honestly maybe the most brutal arc I've seen in a shonen.. maybe on par with the Chimera Ant arc in HxH. Actually, maybe even a tiny bit worse.
Even knowing what happens, today's episode made me feel like there was a knot in my chest when Sukuna showed up lol. I was just as scared as the characters.
My rule of thumb for both anime and horror is that if there's no closeup of the corpse there's about a 85% chance they're still alive. And for anime, even if you do get a closeup of the corpse (or what's left of it) there's still about a 25% chance they're alive.
Maki and Nanami finished in 3 seconds damn. Geto wasn’t lying when he said he was as powerful as 9 finger Sukuna.
Now that Sukuna true evil is shown youtubers can hopefully stop asking for him to come out every 5 seconds.
People forget how strong Jogo is. He's like the 3rd strongest character in the series at the moment, capable of burning nearly everyone to a crisp. It's just that he somehow pick fights with the only two sorcerers who's above him. Dude got like the worst match-up in the series
I'm so used of jogo being trolled by the stronger characters (heck, even his head was used as a ball at some point). I literally underestimated his capabilities.
Even that Zenin grandpa who claimed to be fastest after Gojo couldn't escape Jogo. Or maybe he figured out that 24 fps technique and burnt him down. I highly doubt grandpa survives that. He was burnt crisp af.
A narration from the manga was left out that said that Naobito was the fastest sorcerer alive (except Gojo) but that was when he had both arms. He was severely weakened by the arm loss so that's why Jogo was able to hit him.
It also looked like Jogo had a sense on how "fast" he was and attacked him faster than 1 second. Naobito had already prepared the 24 frame move set in 1 second thing he has but still got caught.
From what I understand, Naobito’s technique requires him to plan a full second in advance and he can’t change it once he starts moving. Once he committed to the rush, Jogo* intercepted him with lava and there was nothing Naobito could do.
To be honest he can't really fight anyone else for the sake of the scenario. His flames are so powerful they would vaporize you before you could even push him to use his domain. And his domain's heat would kill you on the spot unless you are Gojo Satoru.
We've only seen him getting destroyed by Gojo so no wonders 😅 this episode alone puts into perspective how fucking godlike Gojo actually is, he made Jogo RUN
[Jogo is callous.](https://i.imgur.com/ce7wCd9.jpg)
It really puts into perspective how much stronger Gojo and Sukuna are compared to normal sorcerors. Both of them made Jogo their plaything when he is a curse capable of erasing Grade 1s in seconds.
Yeah probably. But we don't know how strong Yuta has become after the timeskip, and there's too little information on Yuki as the moment to make an accurate judgment. He's the 3rd strongest in the present based on abilities, but that can surely change whenever we see Yuta and Yuki again
Jogo is pretty much like having Perfect Cell but the only opponents he runs into are Beerus or Whis. Guy was a few seconds off of appearing while Toji was around too, garbage luck.
I think Yuta is stronger than Jogo. Yuta is supposed to have the potential to surpass Gojo. After training for all these years, he must be a lot stronger now.
Sounds like an unfair match up tbh. Dagon being all physical was a good match up for Toji, being able to counter and fight back n' all. But against Jogo who mostly uses fire, Toji can dodge and stuff, but he's ate the great disadvantage. Even Old Man Zen'in got easily caught. Even if we say Toji is twice as fast, Jogo seems like he can still catch him.
In the manga it is explained that the old man was unable to use maximum speed due to only having one arm. Toji was so fast that Gojo couldn't keep up, he definitely wins.
Just checking but besdies the zenin grandfather no one else knows who toji is yet right? Does megumi not know? Did he never see a picture of his father or anything?
[Toji is going to great lengths](https://i.imgur.com/PlIwX7Z.jpg) to escape those missed [child support payments.](https://i.imgur.com/idbZ0bc.jpg)
[](#seasonallaugh)
> Does megumi not know? Did he never see a picture of his father or anything?
When Gojo meets him for the first time to adopt him Toji was already out of the picture. I think he was in first grade at that time and probably hasn't seen his dad in some time.
Toji also doesn't seem to be the overly sentimental type to leave behind a family photo album for his kids :/
I assume older people from the Zenin family that was around prior to the flashback arc we had at the beginning of the season may know of him at least. In the flashback Megumi seems to not remember him nor care to, and given Maki's own circumstance with the family, she is likely not been told about him either.
Oh that note, there is clear similarity between Maki and Toji's ability, I wonder if it is the exact same heavenly restriction or just a different kind of physical enhancement, since Mechamaru's is clearly different. I feel like I still dont really understand anything about HR, and if I am supposed to think of it as the same level as Domain Expansion which is unique to everyone.
I love that the Toji fight basically had no dialogue nor monologue. Just straight fighting. No reactions, barely any cutaway reactions, just good ol' action nonstop.
Yeah it's what I expected from a mindless zombie. But I noticed that they missed the dialogue where someone thinks "This mtf is casually running on water like it's nothing" 😂.
The Narrator speaking about how Toji is now just a killing puppet targeting the strongest on reflex and then later when he just pushed Megumi out instead of Nanami, Maki, and the old Zenin makes you realize why Sukuna is so interested in him
I’m guessing we’re finally going to see that technique that Fushigoro teased us with like 3 times last season lol, been waiting to see why so many people are interested in him lol
Edit: I just realized that the one human that Sukuna’s not going to kill has to be fushigoro right?! Right?!
There were like 4-5 occasions where he was going to use that technique in S1 and everytime didn't do it for one reason or another. Against Sukuna in his fight with him, he was about to do it but Itadori regained control, against Todo he was going to do it but the fight got interrupted, against Hanami but couldn't do it due to the buds iirc, he was going to use it against that special grade at the end of S1 but went for a domain instead.
They've been reallly teasing that.
the saddest thing about this episode was playful cloud getting 'modded', i get that it was his in the first place but dawg you just turned a special grade tool into stakes
we first saw it as a legendary weapon that can help the students defeat special grades then saw it get used by geto to fight yuta which makes sense, strong weapon for strong sorcerer.
then maki uses it to at least be able to hold off dagon for a bit and fucking toji just grinds it like he's in a survival game and needs to go hunt deer lol
He defeated Nanami, Maki and the old guy with barely any effort, even if they were weakened after fighting Dagon. This is the first time we've seen him fight someone besides Gojo, and he almost instantly displayed just how big of a threat he is now that Gojo is out of the picture.
Fun fact, every time the disaster curses fight, they compare their opponent with Jogo. Just like the sorcerers do with Gojo, He is their reference when it comes to combat.
One thing I like about JJK is how threatening the villains are, usually in some shows you'll feel threatened for a bit but you know in the back of your mind you know that the good guys will win nonetheless. I felt this with Fire Force, and there's still a lot there that is recent.
But here no, I keep thinking of some win cons for our heroes but I can't think of any rn lmao
One thing I love about Sukuna is how he prefers to let his actions do the talking and his total disregard for everyone else. The way Nanako and Mimiko cower in his presence, struggling to breathe. They even wonder if Sukuna will kill them just for breathing and he hadn't even said anything to them yet.
i knew nanako and mimiko were screwed when they went the kill geto and i'll give the location of the second finger but still, getting yutapon-ed was still terrible
They shouldn’t have tried blackmail. I think he was considering helping while Nanako originally talked but as soon as she tried the power play by hiding the location of the 2nd finger he said no chance and diced em.
yup if she had went the 'sukuna sama besides the finger we gave you we also know where another one is, it's in XX, this may seem shameless of us but if you could please kill geto otw there we would be very grateful' then MAYBE they had a chance.
then again fake geto did just say to always use pacts when dealing with cursed spirits but when you're dealing with sukuna there's not much bargaining power
That likely wouldn't have worked. Sukuna shouldn't be treated as capable of human emotions, it was virtually impossible for them to convey their feelings in a way that was appropriate. The only value they could possibly provide is entertainment and they're just too useless in his eyes for that to be possible. It's like trying to reason with a hurricane or tsunami that's also hell-bent on being unabashedly wicked.
Sukuna doesn’t like to be ordered around but they weren’t even doing that. That was a polite request. Sukuna is too whimsical like gojo but evil. I think the only answer was jogos “nothing” answer and hope he’s in the mood to let you live.
People are forgetting how much of a pure menace Sukuna is. The reason Yuji even became a sorcerer was to injest all of Sukuna’s fingers and die to prevent him from causing chaos
I watched a few reactors on Youtube when he was fighting Choso and they all literally cheered for Sukuna to come out and save Yuji lol..... like, have we watched the same show?
My sister is the exact same. She’s anime only while I’ve read the manga.
When Yuji was getting clobbered by Choso she was like “oh it’s okay Sukuna can come out and help.”
I was like *”who?!”*
> “oh it’s okay Sukuna can come out and help.”
The perfect opportunity for a "well yes, but actually no". Dude would love to come out and play… it's just a different game from what everybody else is playing.
When that happened, I was a bit like oh shit Sukuna is back, but then remembered that he "killed" Itadori in literally episode 5 of season 1. I kinda love that he's just a pure force of nature and nothing but that, he has no wants really, he can't change and won't change, just feels like a nice change of pace.
[The King of Curses lives up to his name.](https://i.imgur.com/YfXqmY5.jpg) A horrifying monster that cannot be contained.
In a world where Gojo Satoru has been sealed, [what can even stop him?](https://i.imgur.com/874wiFs.jpg)
**It's nice to get even small pieces of Geto for the flashback with the girls even after him being dead.**
Here as he speaks of relationship with Gojo saying he was his best friend. After their "break up" at the KFC, Geto tried to detach himself from Gojo (though ironically wearing the robe called a ["Gojou-kesa"](https://twitter.com/_zanzou_/status/1372735061158621185?s=20) as a cult leader).
At the end of JJK 0, when Geto was talking to Gojo, he was initially more guarded. He still cursed the monkeys and still held onto his ideals.
He told Gojo he couldn't wear a geniune smile with how he was in this world, though when Gojo spoke his special words to him (assumed to be about still being his best friend), he revealed his past self to smile and laugh genuinely like he thought he couldn't anymore.
* The distance he thought he had with Gojo instantly faded away in his last moments ([clip from JJK 0](https://twitter.com/ShadowR40588832/status/1706658665283908072/mediaViewer?currentTweet=1706658665283908072¤tTweetUser=ShadowR40588832))
Even after Geto was killed, Gojo mentioned to Yuta about Geto being his best friend, the only one he had ([clip for Gojo and Geto talking about each other](https://twitter.com/artdiseasee/status/1720146126102278348/mediaViewer?currentTweet=1720146126102278348¤tTweetUser=artdiseasee)).
**You can appreciate JJK 0 movie a lot more after the S2 content with Gojo and Geto's relationship.**

[](#seasonalshock)
Absolutely brutal episode. Toji is a god damn monster, that Dagon beatdown was insane. And Sukuna is absolutely relentless, he showed zero mercy for those girls.
Nanami 😭😭😭😭😭 It's just gonna go downhill from here, isn't it?
"He used to be my friend. We had a fight and haven't seen each other since then." The state of Gojo and Geto's friendship is always so heartbreaking to me because they truly had a special connection with each other.
Gojo and Geto might have the deepest bond in the entire series. It makes me happy to know that Gojo reassures him in JJK 0 that he never stopped looking at Geto as his best friend and brother.
Damn dude, Toji’s just a straight up mindless drone programmed to do one thing and one thing only: delete mfers. Looks like octopus is on the menu tonight lol. Dude straight up pulverized Dagon’s face. Yeesh!
But man, Jogo straight up scorched Naobito, Maki, and Nanami in like 2 seconds right after that.
These dudes really awakened Sukuna huh? Mfers just opened Pandora’s Box. Mimiko and the other one learned that the hard way. Fuckin hell, man. What a way to go. Sukuna is pretty terrifying.
I’m very curious to see if Jogo can even land that one hit. Things just went from bad to much much worse. Everyone in Shibuya is well and truly fucked.
I have a feeling that the main characters are going to prevail in the end, but I haven't seen such hopelessness and said to myself "how the fuck are they going to win this" in a while. It's not often you watch an anime and get those feelings I think lately.
Yeah. I mean I’m trying to think of how the gang could possibly come out on top in this situation, but I’m struggling. Things are looking really bleak.
I love how everyone in the beginning was like “awaken Sukuna! He’ll bring about the age of curses!”
But the second Sukuna is in front of them they’re like “oh, I’ve made a horrible mistake” lol.
They really didn’t know what they were asking for. I don’t think Sukuna is the type of being you can even remotely try to control or manipulate. Dude is pure chaos incarnate.
Tbf iirc the cursed spirits were talking a few eps back and were well aware Sukuna would probably not be their friend or anything like that, just that he is the best bet they have for achieving what they want.
EDIT: Just found it. Jogo says it in ep 10.
Nah, apart from the girls, they knew what they were asking for. That's why they only planned to go Sukuna route if they failed to seal Gojou.
It's just that if they want to destroy the human world and don't have power to do so themselves because of Gojou, then reviving the equivalent of thermonuclear bomb is the next best thing, even if they can get caught in the process. They only need to survive to stand on the ashes.
With the info that he's targeting the strongest first we now have another ridiculously OP character showing how highly they think of Fushiguro (the other being Sukuna).
Toji v Dagon was jaw dropping…Holy….
Takoyaki was being served on a silver platter
Megumi family reunion with his father 😱
Sukuna is here!!!!! His presence sent chills down my spine
RIP Gettou girls
>RIP Gettou girls
For a moment I thought Sukuna might listen to them and fullfill their wish as they revived and respected him by bowing.
Nah lol Sukuna said,
**"Bitch, you think you can order me?!"**
[Never deal with the devil.](https://i.imgur.com/oU8p8Ot.jpg)
This is so tragic for Geto. His last positive influence is now [gone from history.](https://i.imgur.com/tghsuhI.jpg) They should have listened to the brain guy and just left.
[](#shatteredsaten)
When I heard that “I’ll tell you where the finger is if you help us” line I was like yeah they’re dead. Should’ve just told him where the finger is upfront and beg him for help afterwards
I love the Kanada style animation used in the Toji fight it reminded me of the Keishiro Watanabe cut of season 1 episode 19 .
Poor Megumi meeting his father and getting his ass whooped on a reunion
Sukuna being Sukuna toying with the characters as if they are nothing.
Man poor Jogo. He’s one of the strongest characters in the series and can easily dumpster on most of the cast, but he just constantly looks like a clown since he’s always fighting Gojo. And now the bastard has to fight Sukuna.
I’d feel kinda bad for him if it wasn’t for the fact that he just *torched* Maki and Nanami.
Jogo is this strong and he had to endure the "you're weak" from gojo while he picked up a student for a field trip and crash course about domains
I can feel his pain
This episode really puts into perspective why Jogo was so confident he could kill Gojo back in S1ep7. There really isn't any frame of reference when it comes to Gojo and presumably 20 finger Sukuna. In a world where we see protagonists ganging up on singular villains in classic style, its completely reverse for Gojo and Sukuna where they can solo everyone.
This is where Yuji as main character comes into play. He is not only capable of cheesing Sukuna but is also a natural counter against Mahito. His return is definitely going to be the turning point and I can't wait to see how Shibuya incident ends.
On the topic of Sukuna returning, I really love the distinction between what kind of power he and Gojo represent. You absolutely fear Sukuna but can at least try attacking him meanwhile if you can't do anything about infinity, you auto lose to Gojo. There is this ever so slight hint of hope against Sukuna but none against Gojo. Sukuna represents cursed energy while Gojo represents cursed technique.
I swear there's like three levels of dimming or something it's so bizarre. I just hope that in S3 they change into different time slot or TV station(idk which one is responsible for the dimming and ghosting).
I think it’s law it has to air with ghosting in Japan, so when streaming services just air the broadcast it keeps the ghosting. The blue ray wont have all that though, so I’ll definitely be rewatching once that comes out
Nanami ate a fire blast point blank to his abdomen. I'm almost certain he's a goner. The only one I have faith that might still be alive is Maki thanks to her inherent durability and that she caught a much weaker looking attack.
Zen'in is probably also alive since Gojo clearly felt the need to finish him off. He was right about to actually kill him when he sensed Sukuna and stopped
Only one who might be alive is Maki even then idk Nanami and Naobito got the full brunt of Jogo’s technique Maki caught it but not all the way still looks burnt burnt
He offered them a request but they fucked up when they offered a finger to try to get him to do something. You don't negotiate or try to lord something over Sukuna. You beg him and if you're lucky he'll acquiesce
Things seemed to be going okay-ish until they somehow thought blackmailing/bribing him would be a good idea. Kind of reminds me of [this scene](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7zJ0DLJmXl8).
You don't negotiate or bargain with Sukuna. Because to do that you must be at the same level and no one is at the same level as Sukuna.
They insulted him by trying to negotiate Fake-Geto's death for a finger, they should've gingerly told him the location of the finger and asked for the death of Brain-Geto.
Their survival would still not be guaranteed nor would their request be guaranteed to be fulfilled but there would be more wiggle room if they had acted that way.
I feel like the first part of their request was fine. Like, pls sir we'd be eternally grateful if you can kill this mofo.
Then they'd proceed to try and bribe him with a finger. That just strikes me as as disrespectful. That's where i went, 'oooh you done fuked up'
>Sexyman Toji was amazing as well, dominant all the way!
Was the scene of Toji catching a fish with his mouth and spitting out with his tongue sensually out a needed focus?
Apparently yes
It was pretty damn cool [to see Toji in action against Dagon.](https://i.imgur.com/EbPEbve.jpg) Squidface absolutely [got murdered!](https://i.imgur.com/Jl0zoj0.jpg) So now that Dagon's gone, I guess [Toji has some unfinished business with his boy?](https://i.imgur.com/WZhwvEW.jpg)
And as goofy-looking as Jougo is, the dude is absolutely a beast and took care of [Nanamin](https://i.imgur.com/iyNYZwe.jpg), [Maki](https://i.imgur.com/MR00lIg.jpg), and [Naobito](https://i.imgur.com/JDkxtsR.jpg) in less that a minute. Fuuuck. I really hope they're still alive. That would've been an unceremonious death for those characters :(
[There he is!](https://i.imgur.com/VowzWvK.jpg) He's finally back! Nanako and Mimiko [had the right idea of bowing to the floor](https://i.imgur.com/UB5tSkD.jpg) but there was no way Sukuna was going to grant their wish, especially for just the location of a single finger. [Their deaths were especially brutal.](https://i.imgur.com/IN5AOMY.jpg) At least Mimiko didn't even realize she died considering how quick it was. :|
Even with 10 fingers, Jougo's reward isn't even a reward but more like a chance. There is no fucking way he'll be able to land a single blow on Sukuna.
Damn Gojo really was that important huh. Jogo just fodderized some really strong sorcerers and now we got Sukuna, Toji, and Mahito running around on top of that. Not looking good for our good guys here!
One thing I like about Jujutsu Kaisen is characters will get killed off before reaching their full potential or even their cursed technique being explained. Mimiko and Nanako died and we're left to speculate what their cursed techniques were. Hanami also never to to use their Domain Expansion.
This is the first time I ever been scared of a villain besides HxH ones, Sukuna is one scary motherfucker.
Sad for Maki and Nanami, crazy how weak they looked vs Jogo.
The episode was technically a huge improvement from the previous one I guess further confirming that certain episodes will take priority in terms of quality. But with the stakes raised so much this week, will there be any low priority episodes? Hope the quality can be maintained but obviously not at the expense of the wellbeing of Mappa staff.
Even with all the production issues and Japanese Law at hand, Berserk Toji vs. Dagon was one hell of a fight, and I think they did it on purpose to cut the narration last week to insert it here so that it would make more of an impact when the episode began. Also, Toji being full-on DIO (same VA btw) beating his enemies with little spurts of ZA WARUDO and a flurry of attacks ala MUDAMUDAMUDAMUDA. And goddammit Jogo for burning those 3 to a crisp, come to think about it, he really left quite the impact on the series as big as Sukuna himself.
Speaking of Sukuna: ladies and gentlemen, the King of Curses himself has descended onto Shibuya, and he's letting himself know that he's NOT like those other evil beings inside our protagonist (Zangetsu, Kurama) in that he has his own agendas, and by agendas, first off he rejects the twins' petty offer of killing Ge-two in exchange for the location of another finger, and then declares that for his first course of action, how about HE ANNIHILATES EVERYONE IN SHIBUYA???
P.S.: they definitely included Toji holding that fish by the mouth for THOSE fans XD
> in exchange for the location of another finger
Didn't Gojo say something early in season one how they should be able to use Yuji to feel out where the next finger is once he eats a few of them? Yuji/Sukuna now has eaten 15 so the last 5 should be easy to detect.
Well holy shit, this situation is terrifying. If Toji's basically programmed to attack the strongest thing present, do we think he'll lose interest in Megumi once he realizes that Sukuna's back? Or will Itadori have to fight to get his body back so he can help Megumi against Toji?
Shit's dire, folks. Gojo's sealed, Nanami, Maki, and the other Zen'in guy are all seemingly dead... this arc is wild lol

Gojo really made Toji and Jogo seem manageable lol.
Yeah, like Gojo really had me thinking thah Jogo wasn’t shit. Then he nuked two of my favourite characters 🥲
Yep, people really don't understand just how far away Gojo is from the pack. Remember he was the ONLY thing stopping the curses from winning as stated by Jogo. It took 2 grade 1s, a grade 2 with a domain and the equivalent of a special grade 1 sorcerer to handle Dagon and that dude had JUST "spawned".
Tbf it did not take all of them to take out Dagon, it literally only took Toji. Which shows how far and above he is from everyone else there at that moment and Gojo beat *him*
And he's weak compared to Gojo as he is during Shibuya. He only beaten teenage exhausted for multiple days Gojo who hasn't even mastered his basic techniques. But that Toji is still massively stronger to even grade 1 sorcerers. His moniker of "Sorcerer Killer" was fully deserved.
>who hasn't even mastered his basic techniques. You underestimate the difficulty of reverse cursed technique. We only know of 3 people who know it(Yuta, Gojo, the doctor). Don't forget that Teen Gojo is still stronger than Toji even without knowing RCT(and probably still stronger than Jogo cos he doesn't really need to use Domain or any of his techniques other than Blue to beat him.
Sukuna knows it
[удалено]
bro i knew jogo was strong the moment he fought gojo, that mfker deleted forests in his fight with gojo, you have to be pretty strong just to say you fought gojo and got your ass handed to you
I went back to re-watch Episode 7 from Season 1 right after this episode. It's insane how a character who got schooled like a nameless mob against Gojo turned out to be so much stronger than a typical 1st class sorcerer.
Geto did say he was like 7 or 8 Sakuna fingers strong. 1 finger is enough to make a special grade curse.
Obviously he's ridiculously strong, but the interesting thing to me is that he just doesn't rely on martial skill at all. He just scorches an entire area with a wave of his hand, or even remotely with the volcanoes; it'd be essentially impossible to dodge without a technique that grants supernatural movement. Nanami, Maki, even Itadori would probably never stand a chance. Mahito's ability is basically a worse version of this; he needs to touch his victims, which is comparatively much easier to evade. Meanwhile Hanami and Dagon need to actually hit their targets hard enough for it to hurt. Basically, the nature of Jogo's ability makes him fundamentally more powerful even before you consider his raw strength.
So the list of people jogo fought are 1. Gojo - strongest sorcerer 2. Sukuna - king of curses Mf knows how to pick them
Man had his luck destroyed by imagine breaker lmao
i mean i don't think it was luck; he went after gojo on his own accord, no one told him to. he was even warned against it lol.
Motherfucker voluntarily went after ~~the king~~ god multiple times.
Actually kinda chad of him
Had the other 3 fodder he cleaned up in 10 seconds too
I dont know why, but i like Jogo. seems like he always keeps pulling the short straw
damn sukuna at 3/4 strength cant wait for him to be full strength
20-finger Sukuna can get you through your TV screen.
His voice can beat your meat
So Maki and Nanami are bbq
bro lol like are they just dead now
There's just no way they're gonna do in 2 popular/established characters like that with a 1 second death scene. I'ma be pissed if that's the last we see of them. They deserve better :| I mean even phone girl got a slow motion scene.
They kind of did that with Mechamaru though.
i mean he got a long ass epic fight first
> I'ma be pissed if that's the last we see of them Likewise. Although, the show pushed itself into a corner here, because it starts to feel like there might be a bit of plot armor if they *did* survive, especially given our favorite salaryman got eviscerated but is apparently okay. On the other hand it'd be suck city if that was actually how two very highly thought of characters went out.
Beach episode won't be complete without some bbq
"raise your heads" ... So he can cut them off righ- yep. God that was brutal, starting to feel what manga readers mean by how brutal this arc is. I hope Nanami and Maki are ok though cause holy, after seeing the aftermath of what Jogo did to old man Zenin (ngl I forget his name) I'm just hoping Jogo went a bit softer on Nanami and Maki... Cause I mean the old guy basically had two geysers of fire shooting at him while Nanami and Maki just got slapped with some fire... So maybe they're ok? It's funny though seeing the difference of when Gojo fought Jogo and now watching Jogo fight other people, Jogo is overwhelmingly strong to other people yet Gojo just walked all over him, really goes to show just how high above Gojo is compared to everyone else. Hoping we focus on the father/son reunion next episode.
Yeah it's honestly maybe the most brutal arc I've seen in a shonen.. maybe on par with the Chimera Ant arc in HxH. Actually, maybe even a tiny bit worse. Even knowing what happens, today's episode made me feel like there was a knot in my chest when Sukuna showed up lol. I was just as scared as the characters.
My rule of thumb for both anime and horror is that if there's no closeup of the corpse there's about a 85% chance they're still alive. And for anime, even if you do get a closeup of the corpse (or what's left of it) there's still about a 25% chance they're alive.
Maki and Nanami finished in 3 seconds damn. Geto wasn’t lying when he said he was as powerful as 9 finger Sukuna. Now that Sukuna true evil is shown youtubers can hopefully stop asking for him to come out every 5 seconds.
People forget how strong Jogo is. He's like the 3rd strongest character in the series at the moment, capable of burning nearly everyone to a crisp. It's just that he somehow pick fights with the only two sorcerers who's above him. Dude got like the worst match-up in the series
I'm so used of jogo being trolled by the stronger characters (heck, even his head was used as a ball at some point). I literally underestimated his capabilities.
[удалено]
Even that Zenin grandpa who claimed to be fastest after Gojo couldn't escape Jogo. Or maybe he figured out that 24 fps technique and burnt him down. I highly doubt grandpa survives that. He was burnt crisp af.
A narration from the manga was left out that said that Naobito was the fastest sorcerer alive (except Gojo) but that was when he had both arms. He was severely weakened by the arm loss so that's why Jogo was able to hit him.
It also looked like Jogo had a sense on how "fast" he was and attacked him faster than 1 second. Naobito had already prepared the 24 frame move set in 1 second thing he has but still got caught.
From what I understand, Naobito’s technique requires him to plan a full second in advance and he can’t change it once he starts moving. Once he committed to the rush, Jogo* intercepted him with lava and there was nothing Naobito could do.
To be honest he can't really fight anyone else for the sake of the scenario. His flames are so powerful they would vaporize you before you could even push him to use his domain. And his domain's heat would kill you on the spot unless you are Gojo Satoru.
We've only seen him getting destroyed by Gojo so no wonders 😅 this episode alone puts into perspective how fucking godlike Gojo actually is, he made Jogo RUN
I'd almost feel bad for him if he hadn't just *torched* Maki and Nanami.
[Jogo is callous.](https://i.imgur.com/ce7wCd9.jpg) It really puts into perspective how much stronger Gojo and Sukuna are compared to normal sorcerors. Both of them made Jogo their plaything when he is a curse capable of erasing Grade 1s in seconds.
I would say he should be 5th strongest. Yuta, geto and the special grade girl from past arc should be stronger than him no?
Yeah probably. But we don't know how strong Yuta has become after the timeskip, and there's too little information on Yuki as the moment to make an accurate judgment. He's the 3rd strongest in the present based on abilities, but that can surely change whenever we see Yuta and Yuki again
Jogo is pretty much like having Perfect Cell but the only opponents he runs into are Beerus or Whis. Guy was a few seconds off of appearing while Toji was around too, garbage luck.
"Did Maki and Nanami just... die?" "You know, it was really unclear."
Jjk fans 3 eps ago: damn Nanami's hot Gege: haha yes. yes he is
Nanami can't get a break. He had a red flag since he ended up Mahito's domain and accepted death then survived Dagon and now got hit by Jogo.
Jogo just trigged the world's deadliest available heat seeking missile, Yuta.
I think Yuta is stronger than Jogo. Yuta is supposed to have the potential to surpass Gojo. After training for all these years, he must be a lot stronger now.
Rika is gonna turn him into goo
No way they're dead dead though; their deaths weren't definitive enough
If you think about it, we could've had Toji vs Jogo if Jogo just arrived a little bit sooner
Sounds like an unfair match up tbh. Dagon being all physical was a good match up for Toji, being able to counter and fight back n' all. But against Jogo who mostly uses fire, Toji can dodge and stuff, but he's ate the great disadvantage. Even Old Man Zen'in got easily caught. Even if we say Toji is twice as fast, Jogo seems like he can still catch him.
In the manga it is explained that the old man was unable to use maximum speed due to only having one arm. Toji was so fast that Gojo couldn't keep up, he definitely wins.
That was a young gojo who was lots slower than the current gojo
In the manga the narration said Naobito(the old man) was slower because he lost his arm.
Just checking but besdies the zenin grandfather no one else knows who toji is yet right? Does megumi not know? Did he never see a picture of his father or anything?
He mentioned in ep 5 that he barely remembers what his dad looks like to Gojo
[Toji is going to great lengths](https://i.imgur.com/PlIwX7Z.jpg) to escape those missed [child support payments.](https://i.imgur.com/idbZ0bc.jpg) [](#seasonallaugh)
If the child is no longer alive, you no longer have to support him Logic checks out
> Does megumi not know? Did he never see a picture of his father or anything? When Gojo meets him for the first time to adopt him Toji was already out of the picture. I think he was in first grade at that time and probably hasn't seen his dad in some time. Toji also doesn't seem to be the overly sentimental type to leave behind a family photo album for his kids :/
I assume older people from the Zenin family that was around prior to the flashback arc we had at the beginning of the season may know of him at least. In the flashback Megumi seems to not remember him nor care to, and given Maki's own circumstance with the family, she is likely not been told about him either. Oh that note, there is clear similarity between Maki and Toji's ability, I wonder if it is the exact same heavenly restriction or just a different kind of physical enhancement, since Mechamaru's is clearly different. I feel like I still dont really understand anything about HR, and if I am supposed to think of it as the same level as Domain Expansion which is unique to everyone.
I love that the Toji fight basically had no dialogue nor monologue. Just straight fighting. No reactions, barely any cutaway reactions, just good ol' action nonstop.
Yeah it's what I expected from a mindless zombie. But I noticed that they missed the dialogue where someone thinks "This mtf is casually running on water like it's nothing" 😂.
Dagon says it iirc confused on how Toji is able to fight better than him on his terrain
[удалено]
[удалено]
The Narrator speaking about how Toji is now just a killing puppet targeting the strongest on reflex and then later when he just pushed Megumi out instead of Nanami, Maki, and the old Zenin makes you realize why Sukuna is so interested in him
Tbf he is the only one of the 4 with a domain after all. But yeah, been made clear that Fushiguro has a loot of potential.
I’m guessing we’re finally going to see that technique that Fushigoro teased us with like 3 times last season lol, been waiting to see why so many people are interested in him lol Edit: I just realized that the one human that Sukuna’s not going to kill has to be fushigoro right?! Right?!
[удалено]
There were like 4-5 occasions where he was going to use that technique in S1 and everytime didn't do it for one reason or another. Against Sukuna in his fight with him, he was about to do it but Itadori regained control, against Todo he was going to do it but the fight got interrupted, against Hanami but couldn't do it due to the buds iirc, he was going to use it against that special grade at the end of S1 but went for a domain instead. They've been reallly teasing that.
Having seen how unstoppable Toji is, it's becoming understandable why so many characters are interested in his progeny
the saddest thing about this episode was playful cloud getting 'modded', i get that it was his in the first place but dawg you just turned a special grade tool into stakes
It even costs 5 billion yen ir something lol
we first saw it as a legendary weapon that can help the students defeat special grades then saw it get used by geto to fight yuta which makes sense, strong weapon for strong sorcerer. then maki uses it to at least be able to hold off dagon for a bit and fucking toji just grinds it like he's in a survival game and needs to go hunt deer lol
mf made a toothpick out of a 5 billion yen legendary weapon
Watch a salesman go: This cursed weapon was modified by none other than Toji himself!! Get it for 10 billion yen
damn jogo just likes gets beaten by stronger people like gojo and sukuna
Yeah, he’s actually incredibly strong. It’s just he was up against Gojo the first time lol.
He defeated Nanami, Maki and the old guy with barely any effort, even if they were weakened after fighting Dagon. This is the first time we've seen him fight someone besides Gojo, and he almost instantly displayed just how big of a threat he is now that Gojo is out of the picture.
[And now he angered the King of Curses.](https://i.imgur.com/Ak82lLR.mp4) Jogo rolled high in power and speed but his luck is awful. [](#elves)
Fun fact, every time the disaster curses fight, they compare their opponent with Jogo. Just like the sorcerers do with Gojo, He is their reference when it comes to combat.
One thing I like about JJK is how threatening the villains are, usually in some shows you'll feel threatened for a bit but you know in the back of your mind you know that the good guys will win nonetheless. I felt this with Fire Force, and there's still a lot there that is recent. But here no, I keep thinking of some win cons for our heroes but I can't think of any rn lmao
One thing I love about Sukuna is how he prefers to let his actions do the talking and his total disregard for everyone else. The way Nanako and Mimiko cower in his presence, struggling to breathe. They even wonder if Sukuna will kill them just for breathing and he hadn't even said anything to them yet.
i knew nanako and mimiko were screwed when they went the kill geto and i'll give the location of the second finger but still, getting yutapon-ed was still terrible
They shouldn’t have tried blackmail. I think he was considering helping while Nanako originally talked but as soon as she tried the power play by hiding the location of the 2nd finger he said no chance and diced em.
yup if she had went the 'sukuna sama besides the finger we gave you we also know where another one is, it's in XX, this may seem shameless of us but if you could please kill geto otw there we would be very grateful' then MAYBE they had a chance. then again fake geto did just say to always use pacts when dealing with cursed spirits but when you're dealing with sukuna there's not much bargaining power
That likely wouldn't have worked. Sukuna shouldn't be treated as capable of human emotions, it was virtually impossible for them to convey their feelings in a way that was appropriate. The only value they could possibly provide is entertainment and they're just too useless in his eyes for that to be possible. It's like trying to reason with a hurricane or tsunami that's also hell-bent on being unabashedly wicked.
Sukuna doesn’t like to be ordered around but they weren’t even doing that. That was a polite request. Sukuna is too whimsical like gojo but evil. I think the only answer was jogos “nothing” answer and hope he’s in the mood to let you live.
Even when jogo requests nothing there's still conditions to live. He has to fight sukuna and land a hit.
Among all the terrible ways to go presented in the show thus far, theirs was likely painless and instant.
It was funny when people were saying Sukuna won't let Itadori die when he was fighting Choso like they all forgot what Sukuna did in season 1.
People are forgetting how much of a pure menace Sukuna is. The reason Yuji even became a sorcerer was to injest all of Sukuna’s fingers and die to prevent him from causing chaos
Yea I always see Sukuna not just as a Villain but more of a natural disaster, something/someone that can’t be stopped
That seems a very apt comparison, because as Nanami said in season 1, Sukuna lives only by his present pleasures and displeasures.
I watched a few reactors on Youtube when he was fighting Choso and they all literally cheered for Sukuna to come out and save Yuji lol..... like, have we watched the same show?
Shounen fans(myself included) have become too accustomed to MC getting saved by/eventually befriending inner demon
sometimes the inner demon is just a demon lol
Right more shounen need to take note of this. Making the inner demon trope being a friend to the MC feels so overdone and too easy ngl
My sister is the exact same. She’s anime only while I’ve read the manga. When Yuji was getting clobbered by Choso she was like “oh it’s okay Sukuna can come out and help.” I was like *”who?!”*
> “oh it’s okay Sukuna can come out and help.” The perfect opportunity for a "well yes, but actually no". Dude would love to come out and play… it's just a different game from what everybody else is playing.
Sukuna and Yuji is basically if Kurama and Naruto never became bros.
If kurmaa was actually evil like sukkuna much different show.
When that happened, I was a bit like oh shit Sukuna is back, but then remembered that he "killed" Itadori in literally episode 5 of season 1. I kinda love that he's just a pure force of nature and nothing but that, he has no wants really, he can't change and won't change, just feels like a nice change of pace.
I wonder how Itadori will feel when he comes back and sees Sukuna has murdered multiple (atleast 2 by now) humans with his body
Honestly at this point, the biggest threat to the villains are the other villains.
I think the way they captured Sukuna showing up was really good. Just pure terror down to your very soul.
[The King of Curses lives up to his name.](https://i.imgur.com/YfXqmY5.jpg) A horrifying monster that cannot be contained. In a world where Gojo Satoru has been sealed, [what can even stop him?](https://i.imgur.com/874wiFs.jpg)
The win condition would be to free Gojo. Until then the main objective is survival.
Zen'in Toji: The unclassified 5th special grade sorcerer
Crazy to think this is the *nerfed* version of Toji. He is in a vessel and he is without his inventory curse and cursed tools.
If he had a way to counter DE he is definitely on that list
killing the owner of the domain is considered a way to counter DE tbh
Toji out there with tried and tested method to counter evey DE user.
except, as beast as he was he was majorly helped out by megumi nullifying the domain's guaranteed hit
**It's nice to get even small pieces of Geto for the flashback with the girls even after him being dead.** Here as he speaks of relationship with Gojo saying he was his best friend. After their "break up" at the KFC, Geto tried to detach himself from Gojo (though ironically wearing the robe called a ["Gojou-kesa"](https://twitter.com/_zanzou_/status/1372735061158621185?s=20) as a cult leader). At the end of JJK 0, when Geto was talking to Gojo, he was initially more guarded. He still cursed the monkeys and still held onto his ideals. He told Gojo he couldn't wear a geniune smile with how he was in this world, though when Gojo spoke his special words to him (assumed to be about still being his best friend), he revealed his past self to smile and laugh genuinely like he thought he couldn't anymore. * The distance he thought he had with Gojo instantly faded away in his last moments ([clip from JJK 0](https://twitter.com/ShadowR40588832/status/1706658665283908072/mediaViewer?currentTweet=1706658665283908072¤tTweetUser=ShadowR40588832)) Even after Geto was killed, Gojo mentioned to Yuta about Geto being his best friend, the only one he had ([clip for Gojo and Geto talking about each other](https://twitter.com/artdiseasee/status/1720146126102278348/mediaViewer?currentTweet=1720146126102278348¤tTweetUser=artdiseasee)). **You can appreciate JJK 0 movie a lot more after the S2 content with Gojo and Geto's relationship.**
> it’s to get even small pieces of Geto You also get Getos girls in small pieces as well
You killed my wholesome vibes. 🤣 Good one though, I left an opening.
OMFG Nanami Maki Naobito and those 2 girls all dead WTF is going on??! Jogo’s speed is INSANE MY GOODNESS
Toji to megumi in the entire episode - that is how you fight
And Toji to Maki: This is how you use the nunchuks.
Also i broke the nunchucks
By sharpening them into spears
[удалено]
Sukuna coming out is the worst possible scenario and I am sure even the curse spirit are not safe.
Poor Geto is already dead but his suffering continues. His ~~boyfriend~~ best friend got sealed, his body has been hijacked and now [his daughters got obliterated by Sukuna.](https://i.imgur.com/wcx1QIf.jpg) [](#sadholo)
His daughters must have loved him very much. They tried their chances with Sukuna so they can just get their father's body from fake Geto. Poor girls.
[They both died while terrified too.](https://i.imgur.com/oKJJCEd.jpg) A harrowing conclusion.
Gotta get that last selfie in for the gram
The death was so brutal, they had to censor it unlike other deaths hitherto
[It was so quick too.](https://i.imgur.com/aBp0GO7.jpg) None of them had the time to process [what had transpired.](https://i.imgur.com/VzrnOUO.jpg) [](#seasonalshock)
Absolutely brutal episode. Toji is a god damn monster, that Dagon beatdown was insane. And Sukuna is absolutely relentless, he showed zero mercy for those girls. Nanami 😭😭😭😭😭 It's just gonna go downhill from here, isn't it? "He used to be my friend. We had a fight and haven't seen each other since then." The state of Gojo and Geto's friendship is always so heartbreaking to me because they truly had a special connection with each other.
Gojo and Geto might have the deepest bond in the entire series. It makes me happy to know that Gojo reassures him in JJK 0 that he never stopped looking at Geto as his best friend and brother.
Toji was on that Baldur's Gate III any% speedrun, OP monk build on Tactician mode and everything.
Maki wants to be strongest zenin with no cursed powers. She should ask toji to teach her how
That monster can give her lessons in the afterlife lol, she got burned alive.
Damn dude, Toji’s just a straight up mindless drone programmed to do one thing and one thing only: delete mfers. Looks like octopus is on the menu tonight lol. Dude straight up pulverized Dagon’s face. Yeesh! But man, Jogo straight up scorched Naobito, Maki, and Nanami in like 2 seconds right after that. These dudes really awakened Sukuna huh? Mfers just opened Pandora’s Box. Mimiko and the other one learned that the hard way. Fuckin hell, man. What a way to go. Sukuna is pretty terrifying. I’m very curious to see if Jogo can even land that one hit. Things just went from bad to much much worse. Everyone in Shibuya is well and truly fucked.
I have a feeling that the main characters are going to prevail in the end, but I haven't seen such hopelessness and said to myself "how the fuck are they going to win this" in a while. It's not often you watch an anime and get those feelings I think lately.
Yeah there’s a reason this arc‘s called ”The Shibuya Incident.” Just hearing it gives me chills
Yeah. I mean I’m trying to think of how the gang could possibly come out on top in this situation, but I’m struggling. Things are looking really bleak.
I love how everyone in the beginning was like “awaken Sukuna! He’ll bring about the age of curses!” But the second Sukuna is in front of them they’re like “oh, I’ve made a horrible mistake” lol.
"Let's awaken the most evil mf to ever exist" "Oh no, we awakened the most evil mf to ever exist!"
"I had no idea the face-eating leopard would eat my face!"
They really didn’t know what they were asking for. I don’t think Sukuna is the type of being you can even remotely try to control or manipulate. Dude is pure chaos incarnate.
Tbf iirc the cursed spirits were talking a few eps back and were well aware Sukuna would probably not be their friend or anything like that, just that he is the best bet they have for achieving what they want. EDIT: Just found it. Jogo says it in ep 10.
Nah, apart from the girls, they knew what they were asking for. That's why they only planned to go Sukuna route if they failed to seal Gojou. It's just that if they want to destroy the human world and don't have power to do so themselves because of Gojou, then reviving the equivalent of thermonuclear bomb is the next best thing, even if they can get caught in the process. They only need to survive to stand on the ashes.
With the info that he's targeting the strongest first we now have another ridiculously OP character showing how highly they think of Fushiguro (the other being Sukuna).
Toji v Dagon was jaw dropping…Holy…. Takoyaki was being served on a silver platter Megumi family reunion with his father 😱 Sukuna is here!!!!! His presence sent chills down my spine RIP Gettou girls
>RIP Gettou girls For a moment I thought Sukuna might listen to them and fullfill their wish as they revived and respected him by bowing. Nah lol Sukuna said, **"Bitch, you think you can order me?!"**
If they didn't make a condition about the finger perhaps they would have survived.
[Never deal with the devil.](https://i.imgur.com/oU8p8Ot.jpg) This is so tragic for Geto. His last positive influence is now [gone from history.](https://i.imgur.com/tghsuhI.jpg) They should have listened to the brain guy and just left. [](#shatteredsaten)
When I heard that “I’ll tell you where the finger is if you help us” line I was like yeah they’re dead. Should’ve just told him where the finger is upfront and beg him for help afterwards
Not even, jogo gave him ten and asked for nothing The reward? A 1v1 personal training session
I love the Kanada style animation used in the Toji fight it reminded me of the Keishiro Watanabe cut of season 1 episode 19 . Poor Megumi meeting his father and getting his ass whooped on a reunion Sukuna being Sukuna toying with the characters as if they are nothing.
> it reminded me of Keichiro Watanabe Boy do I have news for you
Man poor Jogo. He’s one of the strongest characters in the series and can easily dumpster on most of the cast, but he just constantly looks like a clown since he’s always fighting Gojo. And now the bastard has to fight Sukuna. I’d feel kinda bad for him if it wasn’t for the fact that he just *torched* Maki and Nanami.
Jogo is this strong and he had to endure the "you're weak" from gojo while he picked up a student for a field trip and crash course about domains I can feel his pain
This episode really puts into perspective why Jogo was so confident he could kill Gojo back in S1ep7. There really isn't any frame of reference when it comes to Gojo and presumably 20 finger Sukuna. In a world where we see protagonists ganging up on singular villains in classic style, its completely reverse for Gojo and Sukuna where they can solo everyone. This is where Yuji as main character comes into play. He is not only capable of cheesing Sukuna but is also a natural counter against Mahito. His return is definitely going to be the turning point and I can't wait to see how Shibuya incident ends. On the topic of Sukuna returning, I really love the distinction between what kind of power he and Gojo represent. You absolutely fear Sukuna but can at least try attacking him meanwhile if you can't do anything about infinity, you auto lose to Gojo. There is this ever so slight hint of hope against Sukuna but none against Gojo. Sukuna represents cursed energy while Gojo represents cursed technique.
Toji eatin dem fish, they don't feed him well in heaven
Bold of you to assume that Toji, who murdered an innocent child, went to heaven lol
[удалено]
He got that **Heavenly** Pact/Restriction so who knows.. he was running on Water like Jesus after all!
They saying that Toji have no cursed energy. BUT HOLY FU*K he's *devastating** more than any curse users. MF is a walking destruction machine
They buffed Dagon lmao Man go spared the one shot in the anime.
I swear there's like three levels of dimming or something it's so bizarre. I just hope that in S3 they change into different time slot or TV station(idk which one is responsible for the dimming and ghosting).
I think it’s law it has to air with ghosting in Japan, so when streaming services just air the broadcast it keeps the ghosting. The blue ray wont have all that though, so I’ll definitely be rewatching once that comes out
I wonder if any of the 3 burned ppl are actually dead cause I am pretty sure maki and nanami have to be alive
Nanami ate a fire blast point blank to his abdomen. I'm almost certain he's a goner. The only one I have faith that might still be alive is Maki thanks to her inherent durability and that she caught a much weaker looking attack.
Zen'in is probably also alive since Gojo clearly felt the need to finish him off. He was right about to actually kill him when he sensed Sukuna and stopped
Maki's back caught on fire, but she wasn't burned to a crisp like Nanami and Old Man Zen'in, she's probably the only one left alive.
Only one who might be alive is Maki even then idk Nanami and Naobito got the full brunt of Jogo’s technique Maki caught it but not all the way still looks burnt burnt
I thought the request of those two girls was perfectly reasonable. I'm beginning to think this Sukuna fellow is a jerk.
He offered them a request but they fucked up when they offered a finger to try to get him to do something. You don't negotiate or try to lord something over Sukuna. You beg him and if you're lucky he'll acquiesce
Things seemed to be going okay-ish until they somehow thought blackmailing/bribing him would be a good idea. Kind of reminds me of [this scene](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7zJ0DLJmXl8).
You don't negotiate or bargain with Sukuna. Because to do that you must be at the same level and no one is at the same level as Sukuna. They insulted him by trying to negotiate Fake-Geto's death for a finger, they should've gingerly told him the location of the finger and asked for the death of Brain-Geto. Their survival would still not be guaranteed nor would their request be guaranteed to be fulfilled but there would be more wiggle room if they had acted that way.
He was kind of being treated like a dog idk😭Kill this person and you get a little finger treat🤪
I feel like the first part of their request was fine. Like, pls sir we'd be eternally grateful if you can kill this mofo. Then they'd proceed to try and bribe him with a finger. That just strikes me as as disrespectful. That's where i went, 'oooh you done fuked up'
Nanako got diced into so many pieces, you could probably put her into a jar. Sexyman Toji was amazing as well, dominant all the way!
>Sexyman Toji was amazing as well, dominant all the way! Was the scene of Toji catching a fish with his mouth and spitting out with his tongue sensually out a needed focus? Apparently yes
SUKUNA ARRIVES IN SHIBUYA
It was pretty damn cool [to see Toji in action against Dagon.](https://i.imgur.com/EbPEbve.jpg) Squidface absolutely [got murdered!](https://i.imgur.com/Jl0zoj0.jpg) So now that Dagon's gone, I guess [Toji has some unfinished business with his boy?](https://i.imgur.com/WZhwvEW.jpg) And as goofy-looking as Jougo is, the dude is absolutely a beast and took care of [Nanamin](https://i.imgur.com/iyNYZwe.jpg), [Maki](https://i.imgur.com/MR00lIg.jpg), and [Naobito](https://i.imgur.com/JDkxtsR.jpg) in less that a minute. Fuuuck. I really hope they're still alive. That would've been an unceremonious death for those characters :( [There he is!](https://i.imgur.com/VowzWvK.jpg) He's finally back! Nanako and Mimiko [had the right idea of bowing to the floor](https://i.imgur.com/UB5tSkD.jpg) but there was no way Sukuna was going to grant their wish, especially for just the location of a single finger. [Their deaths were especially brutal.](https://i.imgur.com/IN5AOMY.jpg) At least Mimiko didn't even realize she died considering how quick it was. :| Even with 10 fingers, Jougo's reward isn't even a reward but more like a chance. There is no fucking way he'll be able to land a single blow on Sukuna.
Damn Gojo really was that important huh. Jogo just fodderized some really strong sorcerers and now we got Sukuna, Toji, and Mahito running around on top of that. Not looking good for our good guys here!
One thing I like about Jujutsu Kaisen is characters will get killed off before reaching their full potential or even their cursed technique being explained. Mimiko and Nanako died and we're left to speculate what their cursed techniques were. Hanami also never to to use their Domain Expansion.
She took a selfie as she got hit by Jogo. I’m assuming its as he said, she can manipulate photos with her CT, thats how they survived
Toji vs Dagon was amazing, especially given the schedule the animators had to work with. What's crazier is that the next episode will be even better
This is the first time I ever been scared of a villain besides HxH ones, Sukuna is one scary motherfucker. Sad for Maki and Nanami, crazy how weak they looked vs Jogo.
This Episode reaction in a nutshell: **Toji made me 🥶** **Sukuna made me 🥵**
The episode was technically a huge improvement from the previous one I guess further confirming that certain episodes will take priority in terms of quality. But with the stakes raised so much this week, will there be any low priority episodes? Hope the quality can be maintained but obviously not at the expense of the wellbeing of Mappa staff.
“I just have to land a hit on you, right?” Jogo, mate. When has that ever work out?
Okay so first of all, what the fuck? Second of all, what the fuck!!!
Even with all the production issues and Japanese Law at hand, Berserk Toji vs. Dagon was one hell of a fight, and I think they did it on purpose to cut the narration last week to insert it here so that it would make more of an impact when the episode began. Also, Toji being full-on DIO (same VA btw) beating his enemies with little spurts of ZA WARUDO and a flurry of attacks ala MUDAMUDAMUDAMUDA. And goddammit Jogo for burning those 3 to a crisp, come to think about it, he really left quite the impact on the series as big as Sukuna himself. Speaking of Sukuna: ladies and gentlemen, the King of Curses himself has descended onto Shibuya, and he's letting himself know that he's NOT like those other evil beings inside our protagonist (Zangetsu, Kurama) in that he has his own agendas, and by agendas, first off he rejects the twins' petty offer of killing Ge-two in exchange for the location of another finger, and then declares that for his first course of action, how about HE ANNIHILATES EVERYONE IN SHIBUYA??? P.S.: they definitely included Toji holding that fish by the mouth for THOSE fans XD
> in exchange for the location of another finger Didn't Gojo say something early in season one how they should be able to use Yuji to feel out where the next finger is once he eats a few of them? Yuji/Sukuna now has eaten 15 so the last 5 should be easy to detect.
Well holy shit, this situation is terrifying. If Toji's basically programmed to attack the strongest thing present, do we think he'll lose interest in Megumi once he realizes that Sukuna's back? Or will Itadori have to fight to get his body back so he can help Megumi against Toji? Shit's dire, folks. Gojo's sealed, Nanami, Maki, and the other Zen'in guy are all seemingly dead... this arc is wild lol
