Dai

Let’s go

Static

Letsss gooo

Jason

First mechamaru, then nanami and now nobara....mahito smoking those grade 1 packs

Dai

I don’t think she had the reaction time to dodge the attack he was sprinting at her at full speed and she was standing there

Dai

And i think itadori being there shocked her too

Ivan Arias

To be fair she probably didnt understand or could comprehend what was happening as quick as Yuji because she didnt really know Mahito so them just running past each other confused her

Tobii

She probably thought that mahito couldn’t use his ability (since the clone couldn’t) and im pretty sure the real mahito is a lot faster than the clone

Dai

That too I don’t feel as if it was a dumb death though I do understand what they saying

Condor7215

This reaction is going to age well.

James

Ya'll gonna hear it in the comments lmao

Ivan Arias

Exactly like Mahito can keep up with Yuji a bit so he’s definitely way faster than her

bandar bargawi

In the manga she didn't see mahito she was coming around the corner and he caught her by surprise so the anime changed the scene for some reason

Justin

The manga chapter of this episode elaborates on this more it states in the chapter 2 reasons Nobara was caught off guard was the real Mahito acted as a blind spot so Nobara wouldn’t notice they switched when she got underground all she could see from her viewpoint was Itadori who she acknowledged 2nd reason is because after she figured out the double couldn’t transfigure other people souls like the real Mahito she wasn’t as cautious of his hands cause she had no reason to be since she was assuming it was the double but R.I.P to a dope ass character this one really hurt

Ivan Arias

Also Nobara isnt as fast physically to keep up or react to a Yuji or Mahito so even if Yuji yelled it couldve been that everything was happening in like a second which is too fast for to process everything. Also Jerry if she kept running she wouldve just ran straight into her death anyway cuz she was gonna be running into Mahito

Silencer

Inb4 the troll baiter shows up glazing JJK despite being consistently inconsistent, while disrespecting other unrelated series that are in a different dimensional league that aren’t even airing.

Agustina Ortega

Bro I don’t know why but in the manga I thought there was a chance she might come back but after seeing this episode she looks done done

Agustina Ortega

I respect the balls to kill of major characters but this has some Death Note vibes, not in a good way. Still love this show

Potetskall

Not gonna lie, one of the worst reactions of this episode. Damn they(RTTV) disrespecting Nobara

Silencer

They’re just being critical of the direction and rightfully so since it was rather lackluster and it’s about time that there’s some criticism on that front for this series since everyone just seems to be blindly glazing it. This whole arc has been incredibly inconsistent for obvious reasons.

MagnaGreatness

The manga explains that Nobara didn't see the real Mahito because of a blindspot. The anime didn't make what happened clear enough obviously, because Nobara's comes off as a meathead.

citROnaut

The reports about the animation were all from 8 months ago mainly. The season will finish normally without too many issues. The problem will be Season 3 gonna be a lot of issues

HIM

MAHI-GOAT!!! (and it won't be the last time I say it!)

REFORMED

hows this have better hand to hand combat then all of naruto fights combined and its not even close to over yet😂 where that dumb ass that said jjk wont be getting a another peak animated episode again 😂😂😂jjk winning on all fronts for past 4 years

Jotaro

Nobara is not as fast as Mahito or Itadori. If she had kept running she would just have gotten caught anyway

Static

She just thought it was the clone that’s it very simple lol take that into account plus anime time and you got your answer 🤣

Nachelie

The anime obviously dragged out the scene with Nobara. It was way quicker that she got hit so Wellz is right.

Tobii

Nobara is not fast enough to react to the real mahito, she was getting beat by haruta lmao

Silencer

What I tell ya! 🤣 By no means was this a peak episode, You have enough glaze to fill a whole damn factory. JJK drops an ep and all you can talk about is other series that aren’t even airing. Keep up that rent free advertisement proving OG series are better.

Angelo

First of there is no point in nobara running on she runs on she getting struck the clone is behind mahito so she wouldn't see that the original mahito is running up to her and be caught of gaurd anyway..... She also having the original mahito chase after her while she struggling to dodge a clone. She also doesn't know he has trasnfiguration as in the manga its explained that mahito was afcting as a double the clone is behind the mahito running up to her so she only sees one mahito. Also in the manga its way faster the hand is already inches away from her face in the next page so mahito clearly moves fast Wellz is right it is anime speed the anime will adapt it a certain way, but in the manga its faster we don't see mahito get close to nobara we see him run and we see yuji scream nobara and nobara notice yuji and in the next shot mahito hand is already inches away from her face.

Marimo

I don't think the episode was Ass I kinda like that her backstory was ordinary and it also showed the fact that she cared about her new friends just as much as Fumi. But I do agree that maybe this was one of the times the anime could've added a little attempted dodge by Nobara or an arm extension by Mahito or something like that. So that it didn't look so out of nowhere especially since it seemed like Nobara was just in the zone vs Clone Mahito.

REFORMED

hows a anime orignal scene thats not even part of the climax have better choreagraphy ost and animation then thousand year cgi war. your just salty jjk eclipsed anything bleach related. Fuck kubo and his bitch ass fanbase

Rayanh LaNansha

The manga explains that the switch happened in her blind spot. She didn't see them switch so to her she was still dealing with the Mahito who couldn't use his curse technique. By the time she saw Itadori, Mahito was reaching his hand over to touch her face. The anime really didn't translate that moment as well as it'd been translanted in the manga. It's important to know that it really kind of happened all at the same time in the manga. The execution was better there for sure.

91_till_infinity

Typical rttv with the logic 😐. The only reactors I seen with that stupid take. The scene was slowed down to capture the moment, he was moving really fast and she clearly didn’t have time to react

_ FlusterCluck

I don’t think this was a bad episode but I do think Nobara is an under developed character, I wish we got her flash back before the moment of her death and I wish they gave her more spot light. I don’t just think this for Nobara, I think Megumi as well could’ve had more development.

Triston Lindstrom

Tbh I definitely can see the her being stupid take but I think it was a bit of anime time going on but portrayed a little off, if they would've cut off itadori a bit when he said run to make it seem faster it may have felt more understandable

Adrian

I mean the real Mahito was running full speed to her while she just turned the corner. She saw Itadori in her periphery which surprised her but she wasn't expecting Mahito to be running full speed towards her especially since he was a distance away and was JUST running full speed away from her. She didn't have enough time to react or to dodge.

Silencer

JJK drops an ep and all this trolling mf can talk about is a series that literally went on break 2 damn months ago. Keep up the rent free advertisement. Fuck you and your whole existence along with anyone that dares to like your sewage dump comments. And JJK never eclipsed it’s master.

REFORMED

this nigga always saying bUt nExT wEeK aNiMaTiOn wOnT bE gOoD 😂 this why you dont get your information from some twitter bleach dick riders cause they coping that bleach will always be irrelevant in shounen

REFORMED

And Nobara was always a bum mahito is the strongest of the curses😂 can never compare to megumi who is stated to have gojo potential and yuji who is the GOAT shounen protag and is a modern day Gutts. Gege is carrying JUMP atm

MagnaGreatness

yeah the anime is taking way too many creative liberties with shibuya. Shame really because it's truly one of the best arcs in shonen without all the flashy animation and cutting of narration.

ComputerWiz309

Yes a Grade 4 sorcerer like Nobara caught off guard is supposed to dodge a Special Grade running up on her. Lol 😂

Potetskall

While I do agree with YOUR point, dont act like the gang had some real criticism of the directing of JJK. They were clowning on Nobara's reacting abilities (while they are fully aware of the concept of "anime time")

ComputerWiz309

In the Manga she came around the corner, and he for the most part blitzed her ahh. The anime adapted that whole scene in a weird way almost like we were seeing what happened from Mahito’s perspective as if she was standing still not even able to react. Nanami also said in episode 12 to stop fighting because she’s not at his and Yuji’s level.

Goat

💀

Tobii

Y’all really overrated Nobara and disappointed yourselves, she was not on the same level as itadori or megumi, she just got lucky that her ability counters mahito lmao. If itadori (one of the most physically gifted ppl in the show) is barely able to keep up with Mahito how tf do u expect Nobara to do anything

Tobii

She was getting folded by some dude Nanami literally no diffed, and Nanami was struggling against Mahito

Silencer

This has to be the most fake fan and brain dead shit comment I’ve seen in a long time, even from you and thats saying something.

Rubin

I don’t count that dude because his curse technique was literally based on luck Nanami didn’t even kill him

REFORMED

Whats crazy is every year bleach has aired its been eclipsed 😂 2022 it eclipsed by DS/CSM, 2023 got eclipsed by JJK by shit ton tbh, 2024 will be eclipsed by dandandan. Bleach is a product of nostaglia and deserves its best use it be wiping my ass with it

HIM

Na, the flashback was OD, fine. Whatever. BUT my niggas is SERIOUSLY nitpicking the death, which was done that way for dramatic effect, or lack thereof (I think it was hard to animate as the manga had intended). Either way, I think this character was the weakest written, and to avoid a Sakura situation, killing her off NOW was the move. As the author, I JUST killed of my favorite, so now I'm heated. I'm COMMITTED to making this villain THE MOST hateable villain of all-time... And I want people to feel exactly how my MC feels. Just believe that when it's time for Mahito to finally die...🎵It's gonna be a BEAUTIFUL DEATH 🎵 no jumping out the window. Just Carnage.

Justus A

Rob went from "this ain't Sakura, this ain't Lucy, damn I know how to pick em!" to trashing her in a few mins😂Nobara really ain't that strong or fast so they shouldn't have expected her to react to Mahito while already off guard

REFORMED

whats sad is this is just anime orignal material that was used to filler up the episode was better then all of bleach tybw so far if were being real. kubo cries him self to sleep every night knowing he got surpassed by someone he can be a father to. Gege is his daddy now😂😂

Silencer

It’s never been eclipsed critically speaking, it has higher ratings and better word of mouth reception than anything airing in the past year and will continue to do so even after it’s over in 2025. Bleach transcends nostalgia or whatever pathetic degenerate use you have for it with your pitiful takes and existence that no one in the right mind agrees with. Now STFU and get a life already.

Panda

There is also the case where nobara admit'd to him being way faster than her and when she actually did go in close to attack he should of been able to grab her. Which is how she figured out he was the weak one in the first place. So once she was in his range as well it was p much over, and she was p close to being face to face with him.

Tobii

Yea but my point is that Nanami was fucking him up EFFORTLESSLY literally while walking. And I believe that any of the other students could have folded him easily aswell. Imo that fight was meant to show the power differential between Nobara and itadori/megumi

Kai

i really hate how they forget about anime time during these type of moments and how much faster mahito is compared to her like she cant do nun in that situation especially just hitting the corner like that

Tobii

Literally a few episodes ago Jogo said that he ranked Mahito above himself as the strongest disaster curse. Jogo literally summoned a meteor and speed blitzed Nanami and Naobito (I know he lost his arm but he was still fast af) so why are yall surprised that someone who was stated to be STRONGER THAN HIM speed blitzed Nobara (a grade 4 sorcerer and probably the weakest sorcerer at Shibuya)

Tobii

Ong bro they legit overhyped/overrated Nobara just to disappoint themselves

Hasani Wilmer

I’m pretty sure she got touched as soon as she turned the corner and got caught completely off guard

Tobii

Maki who is WAYYYY faster than Nobara got speed blitzed by Jogo aswell

Marcus Sheard341

Yea facts they did it better in the manga that way. And that flashback was fuccin terrible omg that made this the worst episode

Silencer

The problem is, you’re never being real. Just spouting the same and most troll baiting disrespectful sewage dump BS that is your whole existence. Kubo will never be surpassed by something he inspired and does everything else better in as a full package, let alone TYBW when it’s only half over and is already a better adaptation than this with a far healthier and more consistent ideal production.🖕

Tobii

Nanami literally told her to leave Shibuya cuz she was too weak a few episodes back too 💀

Zenru Renari

Yall forget that this is animated for viewing pleasure, to us, Mahito was running slow but in real time for the Kugisaki and Itadori Mahito(main body) is WAY faster. Especially faster than Kugisaki is, even if she did react, he out classes her in speed, even Itadori wasnt fast enough to catch up and save her. The anime makes it SLOWER and easier for us viewers to comprehend so we know what's going on. It's like a car is speeding 2 feet from you, you see it coming but what can you really do? You can't run out the way fast enough if it's moving that fast and you're only human and can only move so quickly. Yall be forgetting they animate it for OUR viewing pleasure. In the manga, it was two panels. One and done. Quick. Think before you react.

Hasani Wilmer

Yeah the anime makes it seem like it happened a lot slower than it actually happened

REFORMED

bleach tards are so soft i see them on every thread of a jjk thread trying to hate cause they insecure like theyve been since the past 15 years when theyve always been dead last of the big 3 . of the big 3 OP will always be goated for story and naruto will always be remembered for its impact on being a gateway to anime, and bleach will remain a piss stain on the anime industry 😂😂

Zenru Renari

Saying Kugisaki is the weakest written is wild to me. I could name like 10 other characters with less depth than her.

Marcus Sheard341

Fuxk no. They did it way better in the manga. When she came around the corner she was still runnin so she it made sense on how she got caught but here she just fuccin standin. And then that lame ass backstory out of nowhere wasn’t good in the manga and it wasn’t good in the anime either. Ts was ass

REFORMED

niggas act surprised when mahito was the most hyped up curse sprit for a reason😂😂

Marcus Sheard341

Flashback was fuccin terrible. Worst flashback I ever seen in my fuccin life

Zenru Renari

That version of Maki was not scaling to Jogos speed at all, especially off guard.

Marcus Sheard341

Nicca in the manga they did it way better. It made sense in the manga it doesn’t make sense here their right bruh

Marimo

I definitely agree her death itself was better in the manga.

Marcus Sheard341

Yea nicca please she coulda dodged that shi but in the manga it made more sense cuz she was runnin and mahito just tagged her, it made sense….. ts made no sense ima keep it a buck

Julie Žigová

The anime obviously slowed it down to make it more dramatic. In the Manga it was really quick.

Tobii

Thats what im saying and they’re surprised a much slower Nobara wasntdodging a faster enemy

Rubin

Also in the manga it was explained that mahito running at her blocked her field of vision of the clone and that she was surprised by Itdaori along with the fact that she let her guard down do to fighting the clone and it just happened way faster.

Darren Metts

This was the most middest death scene I’ve probably ever scene in anime jjk truly doesn’t know how to deliver an emotional death scene I legit felt nothing for nobara a good first half episode ruined by the second half by some random filler tear jerker flashback that just didn’t work smh not sure if that’s the manga or animators fault?

Tobii

Im also pretty certain the clone Mahito is slower than the real one, so she was already caught off guard and now the mahito she’s been fighting is suddenly way faster, it made sense imo

HIM

Depth doesn't equate to quality or value. Her and Nanami had little to offer going forward. They served a greater purpose as numbers on the board for Mahito, in the grand scheme of things. They both will be forever remembered as a part of Mahito's body count 💀💀

Darren Metts

@exrialhd nah everyone knows naruto is one of if not the best at flashbacks that’s a terrible take I literally felt nothing for a main character death

Rubin

I still don’t think she’s no slouch like I said I just think that dude was definitely a bad match up for. Someone like Itadori could take him with brute strength but I think Megumi would have a tougher time with his ten shadows because that dudes luck would have kicked in a few times.

Joshua Martin

Bro it’s all love man, they just not watching anything I’m interested in.

REFORMED

i said the same thing about naruto every character is insufferable npcs besides sasuke and itachi . naruto flash backs ruined the show if im being real they had no depth

Marcus Sheard341

Yea like hell it is. I see you dickriding jjk every week. You can’t do right now bud. They ass choked and went limp midway through the episode

Silencer

Mf the only insecure piss stain here is you as you can’t keep Bleach or any other OG series out of your goddamn mouth to save your life. Bleach was never dead last especially as an anime. If what you said was true it would’ve never returned in the first place and you wouldn’t even have to bother shitting on it every chance you get unprovoked. I went back to the Bleach posts and you were there on every thread, disrespecting it like that insecure sewage dump troll that you are. FOH with the projecting. Bleach will be remembered as the most influential anime out of the big3.

Darren Stewart

The average jojos side character would get a backstory/death like 10x sadder than this. Even when you compare this to nanami's his is way sadder. And he wasnt even apart of the main trio like she was

Darren Metts

Lol basically Sakura if kishimito kept it real killed her way back in Naruto like she should’ve been

Marcus Sheard341

Nicca are you stoopid. He ranked him higher because he had the most potential nicca. Jogo would fucc mahito up. Like nicca I don’t know if you read manga but this nicca lost to who he about to lose to and jogo would body anybody in shibuya except for gojo, sukuna and maharaga low diff asf wth

Tobii

Rewatch the end of sukuna vs jogo. Even if he wasn’t as fast as Jogo he was clearly relative

Darren Metts

@HIM that’s what happens when y’all think you can nit pick not saying you do it specifically but other jjk fans nit pick everything else lol your going to get brutally not picked right back no one’s safe with the same measure you use you will also be measured

REFORMED

yes you know its sad when a a 40 ep shounen can make you feel more sad then a anime that is 600 eps of mid with incel level writing only to get sub par fights . i puked when i saw jiryah and then obito who was literally a predator. jjk has PEAK writing and fights

Darren Metts

@ExtialHd wasn’t you saying that nobara was way better written and not a waste of a female character like bleach female characters a month or two ago? 🤔

Tobii

Personally I think megumi would’ve bodied him even without Mahoraga

Tobii

And also right after that fight Namami told Nobara to leave because she was too weak to move on

Darren Metts

@ray prime I doubt you almost every time a manga reader says sun like this with a manga I’ve read I find y’all to be lying or delusional and it’s just that y’all didn’t read the manga correctly

꧁The Artist ꧂

Jogo never said he was stronger. He just made it clear Mahito had the potential to surpass him

Tobii

They had to 2v1 Mahito and they still barely won, and if ur dumbass didn’t realize Itadori is the only one besides Nobara, Gojo and probably Sukuna who could even damage Mahito. If Mahito fought ANYBODY ELSE other than Itadori he was winning, he couldn’t even use his domain against itadori

HIM

ain't that the truth 😆🤷‍♂️ 😆 Live in your Own Domain, kids. You have control there.

REFORMED

shes a top 5 best written female characte in shounen but powerwise shes always been a bum but she is always gonna be a bum powerwise level.

Darren Metts

@marcu sheard341 one of the only real manga reader fans in here I can respect someone who can admit when something in their favorite or one of their favorites of anything is trash or not done correctly nice criticism cuz this death scene was also garbage I felt nothing for nobara

Rayanh LaNansha

@DarrenMetts, how about you go check out the chapter in which it occurs before you talk to me about your general experience?

Tobii

Just say u dont understand and move on 🤷🏽‍♂️

Darren Metts

@tobi certified head canon saying the clone Mahito is slower than the original lol your literally basing that assumption off of other anime 😂 nothing implied anything of the sort at all stop it the only thing that is officially stated is that he doesn’t have the soul touching ability that’s it stop it 😂

Tobii

What u think Nobara was casually keeping up against sm who Itadori and Nanami barely could, u sound dumb af

HIM

Gangstarr backstories take 6 dumps on this BS. (see what I did there?)

Darren Metts

@ExrialHd I agree with you on z warrior saying like two or 3 weeks ago hating on jjk sukuna vs moharaga and clearly hoping that jjk wouldn’t have more peak animation this first half of this episode was amazing but the episode was completely ruined by that trash flashback and one of if not the worst delivered death scenes in anime history

Tobii

And *spoiler* even todo was struggling against him in a 2 on 1 lol

Silencer

@Darren This is why you can’t take anything he says as legit, he’s fake and only lives to troll. The only incentive to respond to him is when he’s getting automatic attention either through those taking the bait believing him or through support by ppl liking his shit as if he’s right when it’s actually just out of humoring him

Darren Metts

@potetskall y’all just love fake reactions that’s why 😂😂 most of not everyone trying to fake force tears and have empathy for nobara is straight up capping this is easily the most mid death scene I can ever remember in anime I felt absolutely nothing for nobara trash character development actually was there even any development? And zero character depth lol jjk lacks in that emotional are and depth bro

Darren Metts

@ z warrior lol I’m with you on this one the fact anyone is seriously trying to excuse this episode is pathetic to say the least

REFORMED

p5 one of the most overrate parts that ending was essentially power of friendship. shame araki is essentially a one hit wonder since p7 is peak but then he slowly loses his touch again due to his dementia

Ines Gomes🇨🇻

That whole end discussion had me in tears 😂😂wells was trying so hard to give her the benefit of the doubt

Darren Metts

@ExrialHd I’ll give jjk animation and pretty well written story and build up but there is no body in their right mind putting emotional value of jjk over Naruto 😂😂 Naruto is better than one piece in the emotional area as well Naruto is easily one of the saddest anime that’s the main reason why people love it so much

Silencer

@Darren I was never hating on any ep, let alone hoping that JJK wouldn’t have more peak animation, I was just saying that I couldn’t appreciate it with all the behind-the-scenes issues, that there’s too many issues for there to be another banger one and how the whole arc has been inconsistent with only a few stand outs that ppl only focus on without all the other issues going on while trashing everything else exactly like how Exrial does.

Luke Prentice

Na hanami said mahito could become the strongest, right now, mahito and itadori's fight is breaking elevator's and floors, jogo's meteor was crazy.

Mark Torweihe

They were clearly just trying to make it dramatic and cinematic, so they had her stand still. I’m sure if it was real speed y’all wouldn’t feel the same.

Zar D. Goat

rttv power scaling at it again

Darren Metts

Lol I didn’t watch yet had to come to the comments to see if people kept it real before I rewatched this mid episode with anyone else other than the first half cuz omg that was the worst close out death I’ve probably ever seen 😂 no offense to jjk fans but you gotta keep it a buck at all times don’t lie just cuz it’s yo favorite 😂

Silencer

^ This mf always talking out of his ass with the most made up tried trolling shit I’ve ever seen. P5 never had no damn power of friendship, let alone Araki being any one hit wonder when he has the most longevity and consistency in the industry which never lost it’s touched, or having any dementia when he looks young as shit and does JoJos as a passion in life. FOH.

Silencer

Exrial Even the weakest JoJo characters one shot most JJK characters.

REFORMED

Facts bro can do it in the click of a button but he wants to cry about his homosexual series naruto which is on the same tier as fairy tail 😂 even demon slayer has more emotional back stories then midruto

Speak facts 😂 Niggas really thought nobara was even relative to megumi or Yuji are brain dead. How you going to compare her to the 2 most hyped up niggas in shonen history 😂😂😂

HawaiinHercules

Z Warrior and ExrialHD beef is so peak, keep going yall🫶

REFORMED

This the same nigga who thought jirayah the pedo death was emotional 😂 op hasent had a emotional flash back since Robin😂

Ace Hollow

i think in the manga she didn't see him switch she saw him running towards her and think about it she saw itadori fighting mahito lost focus and she just lost concentration i guess there was alot processing in her mind and he was in full speed already. It was diff in the manga in how she didnt see them switch and this didnt make JJK bad at all

D

Kekw these 2 really are hilarious. I always get my popcorn ready to see the autism every week in the jjk post.

Quintin Peterson

in the manga it makes it known the main mahito is too fast for kugasaki since she is only a grade 3 and mahito is special grade. Smh Wellz you gotta explain to them that shit looks slower in the anime bro like nanami scene it seemed like itadori could run and help but in reality it was a split second

Darren Metts

@ExrialHd lol don’t cry because I don’t agree with this terrible second half crap show of a flashback episode 😂 comparing any death in this show to jiraiya is beyond crazy 😂 and beyond glaze lowkey kinda gay and fruity the amount of riding you do for this show lol difference between me and you is I’ll talk trash about any show I watch because my life doesn’t revolve around anime and tv series and media lol 😂😂

Devin B

That was an L take from Rob, Jerry, and Pat. I'm surprised I have to explain anime time but not everything happens at the speed they show us. Realistically as soon as Nobara saw Itadori and he told her to run there was no time for her to react to the real Mahito charging at her. Plus Nobara don't have reflexes like that so if she's caught off guard then that's it, especially with how fast Mahito can be.

Darren Metts

@z warrior yea this was trash ngl lol woerst death scene I’ve probably ever seen jjk fans really need to stop eating everything it puts out UP same with one piece fans Naruto fans bleach fans and fans of any kind people act like they can’t criticize something and still not let it be their favorite lol

Quintin Peterson

like damn the scene was deadass slowed down before she was touched use comprehension, whole post discussion for nothing

REFORMED

no you switch up cause you mentally ill and have bipolrism ive never a male switch up like a snake unless your secretly a female. No doubt if you were in prison youd be the first one to be dropping the soap and screaming like a bitch 😂

Devin B

Remember they thought Levi could take on Thriller Bark Zoro so I'm not even surprised at this

ayyyy

The grasshopper episode is a million times worse than this ep😂

ayyyy

Demon slayer is way worse with their shitty backstories for demons no one gives a shit about. Ill take this any day

Darren Metts

@ayyyy lol so many people gonna glaze the final season of demon slayer it’s not even funny I know you will not keep this same energy you will hop on the bandwagon when I read that I knew demon slayer would be awesome in the end

REFORMED

yes cause you cant seperate your feelings from viewing anime from a quality stand point thats why you like bleach cause your bitch made and always emotionally embalanced 😂 I will always own you and your entire bloodline your a disgrace to all of america dirty ass infidel 😂

Silencer

When someone switches up > “mentally ill and have bipolarisn” When someone doesn’t switch up > “bitch made and emotionally embalanced” whatever the F that means. For a fake fan who’s truly disgraceful here, You’re* just as inconsistent as JJK Season 2 itself.

botanbutton

I'm literally looking at the manga right now; in between the panel of Itadori shouting "Kugisaki! Run!" and the panel of Nobara with Mahito's hand a few centimeters from her face, it says "The real body acted as a blind spot so that Kugisaki would not notice the switch. Furthermore, due to her battle against the double....", the next page continues with "...she let her guard down against Mahito's hands." It's as simple as that. It wasn't a "bad death", Mahito had a plan and ran like a little bitch; he's done it before. Kugisaki's attack was working and then with Yuji beating him in the wall? Oh, he had to get rid of her, QUICK.

Jaden

In the manga she tried to block but he still got her, he had also barely touched her

Bruv

All i wanna hear is "What's good yo We back RTTV, Gang Gang Gang and if its your first time here definitely wont be your last make sure to kill murder and smash that subscribe button and welcome back to RTTV where we react to everything, everythingg and Today we'll be watching The First Slam Dunk Movie"

botanbutton

I mean...I didn't feel anything either when Nanami or Nobara died in the manga (or watching it now, animated). It doesn't mean it's badly written. I feel like that might be the point. It feels empty and pointless; too quick, too short. Her backstory, which is given to us through the eyes of a close friend, was simple, relatable to a degree, not flashy. I wouldn't even call it a "random tearjerker flashback". She didn't have a grand goal in mind as a jujutsu sorcerer it seems like. She's just gone now. It's a pretty hollow feeling. The only one who feels is Yuji.

NitenGale

Nah y’all took an L for this one. Mahito is literally just fast as shit, you saw how fast Yuji and him were fighting?? Nobara can keep up with the clone but she was FAR from the main body. Buddy even dodged Gojo a few episodes back.

YabishTx

Stop with the headcanon. No where in the manga does it say that other Mahito is way faster.

Devin B

When did I say it wasn't an ass death, I wasn't a fan of how they did it but it made sense how she died

YabishTx

Nanami did actually kill him numerous times. That’s why all his miracle marking were used up when he got to sukuna/mahogara/megumi.

YabishTx

Other people feel the same way but are too scared to go against the popular opinion.

Nachelie

They are clearly wrong and Wellz pointed that point but Rob, Jerry, and Pat didn't want to listen. Just loud and wrong.

MIGUZI

I will borrow your comment these dumb niggas on the rtttv couch dont undester stand shit but power scalling

MIGUZI

I’m pretty sure she got touched as soon as she turned the corner and got caught completely off guard

Nachelie

@Darren Metts You're just glazer for rt tv with their stupid takes on this episode. Wellz actually read the manga and still they didn't listen to him. Stfu clown

Mad4Life

What chapter did this happen in the manga so I could check if the anime made a drastic change to Kugisaki getting touched.

Nachelie

@Z Warrior Stop yelling at people in the comments for not agreeing with these stupid takes on Nobara. Yapping like a bum. No one cares about your annoying simping.

Nachelie

@Darren Metts Both you and your boyfriend @Z Warrior can shut up.

Silencer

@Nachelie Have you even actually been reading my comments? I didn’t even mention Nobara once let alone simping, I just called out Exrial’s fake ass disrespecting her when he supposed to be the JJKtard. Your anger is misplaced.

Darren Metts

@exrialHd lol your just mad jjk has mid death scenes that don’t mean anything and that your a fraud that can’t keep it real your internet persona is all you have you even hide behind an Alias 😂 and talk about dick all day lol you can’t even talk about homosexual when you constantly praise an author for his writing lol imagine constantly bringing another man’s name up calling him THE GOAT 😂😂 gay af could never be me

Darren Metts

@z warrior the thing is he doesn’t nor a lot of people on this fake Patreon app understand me because a lot of people here are fake I don’t cater to anyone but what I truly think what may seem confusing to another is true in what I say people think because you agree on alot of things that you could never possibly disagree with them and when you do all of a sudden your a liar or etc lol no I just happened to agree with alot of exrialHd takes but today he’s straight up corny and lowkey a fag for the author of jjk lol all this show is really good for is fights and that’s it and even that isn’t that crazy

Darren Metts

@exrialHd also when did I bring up Naruto? Lol that’s not even my series your just mad you can’t be like me you wanna be like me so bad it’s hilarious 😂 your opinions are not diverse and your scared to say what you truly like and don’t like while I have the freedom to express what I like and don’t like without fear of what others will say while you keep your true feelings hidden because deep down your a coward that’s why you talk about chads and testosterone because deep down you desperately wish you had those things and so you try to speak it into existence 😂😂😂 I’m reading you like a book kid you picking the wrong fight that you can’t finish your no where near man enough to challenge step back into the play room child

Darren Metts

@exrialHd you was sucking nobara off like a month ago praising her as a great femal character lol how does it feel to be fraud? 😂

Darren Metts

@z warrior bro don’t lie you was definitely throwing shade when sukuna vs moharag came out but I don’t blame you exrialHd is a clown I understand why you did it even though it was wrong so you don’t have to admit here that’s fine but don’t lie about it just ignore it but don’t lie you can’t fool me

Darren Metts

@Exrialhd 😂 laughable your the one who can’t separate there feelings the simple fact you sticking up for a mid ass episode like this shows it lol bro can’t even admit when something has mid adaptations because he’s scared he’ll be looked at as stupid for changing his intial opinion of the matter 😂 bro is afraid of failure even though everyone already sees his failure 😂😂 that is truly a sad life you living don’t worry just accept the truth and everything will be alright you don’t have to live in misery any longer why do you choose it ?

Darren Metts

@Exrialhd you don’t own z warrior or anyone lol you can’t even control your own mind 😂😂

Darren Metts

@exrialhd I’ve been to prison my boy lol you speaking on things you secretly wish you could have done but was to coward to even take the steps of that lifestyle you a wannabe 😂 straight up groupie 😂

Darren Metts

@nachelie glazer for rttv? Lmfao this couldn’t be any funnier considering I haven’t even watched the reaction yet 😂😂😂😂 lol scroll up there’s a comment from a couple hours ago where I even said I went to the comments first 😂😂 I almost never watch the reaction first I always make a comment before watching lol

Darren Metts

@exrialhd nope never switched up lol I said last weeks death was trash and you agreed with me but since it was two trash deaths in a row you couldn’t take it the fact that your precious anime jjk was failing for all the bleach and Naruto and one piece fans to see and you knew if you’d agreed with me again that they’d cool you alive so you had to suck the skin of the dick of gege and jjk again in order to save face 😂😂

Darren Metts

@exrialhd lol and ima call it now in the future when I make a comment about something that you agree with you either won’t say anything or 2 throw shade or 3 just talk trash and bring up whatever you can instead of admitting you agree with me because your too much of a woman/ feminine feeble minded to let go of your anger and past while I don’t care what you think of me truth is truth and from here on if you make a comment about something and I agree with it I will support/ add my input because I’m not scared of what people think ima be me to the death take notes this is called being a man learning to accept your faults and being able to stay true to your morals and opinions regardless if you don’t like a person you cannot like someone and still agree with something they’ve said

Silencer

@Nachelie Are you aware of Mappa’s issues abusing it’s animators? you have to be living under a rock and clueless to defend them.

Darren Metts

Lol just checked the manga bro it’s the same these manga clowns really be trying they hardest to lie cuz they know most people won’t actually check to see if they lying it’s the same thing in the manga

Darren Metts

Lol I just checked it and as usual my intuition is correct it’s literally the same thing in the manga once again manga readers coping and or misinterpreting what’s going on in the panels literally the same thing happened in the manga only difference is it’s animated here smh

Rayanh LaNansha

Chapter 124. And it’s not that the change is drastic, but rather that it was slowed in a way that makes it look off to viewers when compared to people who read it. I’m just going to copy/paste the slight differences here: 1) many viewers blame Nobara for not noticing that there are two Mahito. But in the manga, the narrator clearly tells you that she missed the switch when she came around the corner and that the one running towards her is in her blind spot so she doesn’t realize it’s not the Mahito she fought, which leads her to let her guard down. 2) In the manga, the very moment Yuji yells at her to run, Mahito’s hand is already reaching her face because he’s that fast. Plus she actually raises her hands to try and guard against it, but In the anime, Yuji yells and Mahito is still running toward her and she stays still while that happens… those details matter. Especially since in the manga we couldn't see his hand land on her face so it was hard to tell whether it truly was a direct hit or not.

Rayanh LaNansha

@Daren Metts: How? 1) many viewers blame Nobara for not noticing that there are two Mahito. But in the manga, the narrator clearly tells you that she missed the switch when she came around the corner and that the one running towards her is in her blind spot so she doesn’t realize it’s not the Mahito she fought, which leads her to let her guard down. 2) In the manga, the very moment Yuji yells at her to run, Mahito’s hand is already reaching her face because he’s that fast.

If anything I said is wrong, then feel free to say in what way.

Rawan M

Pat killed me when mahito touched her face😂😂😂😂

Alex

yall should read chapter 124 of JJK the scene where mahito touches nobaras face makes more sense in the manga. it should clear things up for you guys.

Fizzy

Mf it was clearly obviously mahito speed blitz her you are just slow

Fizzy

Ngl you mfs have room temperature media literacy you guys were just yapping as per usual

bloo.raspbrry7

They definitely slowed it down for dramatics in real time she gets hit as she rounded the corner. I wonder if the next episode will further explain cause the ppl are rioting 😭

Wolf

The only thing about the first part of that argument is that his whole body is essentially a weapon. Letting him touch you in general isn’t a good idea but I agree with the rest.

Wolf

Rob doesn’t surprise me but I’m surprised Pat isn’t aware of anime time and dramatic effect. Jerry D-riding the majority opinion also doesn’t surprise me lol

Dequone Jackson

ALL MY FRIENDS R DEAD PUSH ME TO THE EDGE

Tobii

Bro i stg jerry always goes with the majority opinion

Tobii

Tbh I don’t think anyone disliked the scene other than rttv

Darren Metts

No she didn’t it was the same way in the manga lol 😂 y’all trippin

Zenru Renari

My boy💀 it doesn’t need to say it, it’s fkn common sense and obvious asf that if he is not only ranked higher but clearly visibly moves faster than she does. Then he scales higher than she does in speed. He is a SPECIAL GRADE curse spirit (one of the distant curses might I add) and she is a Grade 4 sorcerer, Geade 1 in BEGINNING training.💀 do you really need to be hand fed basic information?

REFORMED

I aint surprised that you went to prison that will explain how your yapping on this throughout the night like a jobless hoodrat whos only value is being a cashier at burger king 😂 I wake up to you writing essays like you on tumbler and your getting roasted by randoms and your a big 3 dick rider you cant complain about deaths when fairy tail has killed more people then your pedo show 😂😂😂

Brad

The only thing im wondering bout that is the clone mahito said he cant transfigure humans but it never said anything about not being as fast or strong as the main mahito so its like was the clone actually slower than the main if it was never said

REFORMED

gio 17s

Nah rob and pat im sorry but that is the dumbest things you guys said they clearly slowed it down for the viewers man 😭

Paweeze33

Nah Wellz u gotta show them the manga version the narrator in the manga even explains why and how she got hit She didn’t see the 2 Mahitos switch because the real one was blocking her line of sight and she did try to block his hand in the manga as well idk why they just had her standing there tbh that’s my only criticism in this episode💀

REFORMED

Nigga said it’s the same 😂 not surprised this crack addict who openly admited he’s a bum who went to prison cause he’s low iq wouldn’t be able to read a manga page 😂 go get your ged you old ass pussy

Xitlaly

nobara getting touched was in anime time lol, she was just coming around the corner but the camera angles and scenes made it look like she was just standing there the whole time -

Dobriv

Actually a lot of one-piece fans hate that he turned back

Kai-lo

I agree the that scene looked trash lol

vera

they did it a bit weird in the anime ngl, in the manga she tried to block it the execution was weird but its not really that hard to see how it happened

Woah

The little troll boy is coping so hard right now. Bro called Nobura a top 5 written female character in shonen after one of the worst deaths in all shonen halfway through the series lmao. Forced in her lame backstory at the last minute, completely ruining the moment. I tried to tell him that this episode would highlight Gege's poor handling of deaths and female characters, but he was too busy slobbing on Gege and Yujis knob.

ItsLargeDad

Everybody else touched on it already but Manga handled it differently. The anime does it expecting you to understand already that there are levels to this and Mahito is way faster than Nobara and she wouldn’t even really be able to avoid the touch. They are on completely different levels. The scene is also expecting you to realize this is in anime time. Not real time. The only way it would have made sense is if it switched to her point of view and showed that she wasn’t even able to grasp how fast he was moving.

ItsLargeDad

I’m glad someone READ the pages not just look at the pictures like a 2 year old

ItsLargeDad

One last thought. This is the “emotional” MHA episodes all over again. Where because it doesn’t have hands being thrown the whole time it’s “boring and pointless”. Shit is so annoying

Zar D. Goat

Ngl whenever I get upset I remember these the same niggas that thought that fr

Venori

I agree on your takes when it comes to how it was done here but its worth noting in the manga they said she couldn't see and i believe she tried to block it as well. Idk why they didnt add the narrator for this part.

Anthony22

She never stood a chance, as soon as mahito got past itadori she was Dead. She said versus the clone that he could have touched her multiple times. It didnt matter what she did once the real one header her way.

Maverick

Horrible reaction by yall lol for all the reasons stated above

botanbutton

@ItsLargeDad I'm gonna give RTTV the benefit of the doubt since they are anime-only watchers, and the anime didn't explicitly state what happened like in the manga. Who knows, they might actually do it next week, like they've been doing with other parts that were narrated (like Toji entering the Dagon's domain).

DW

I actually agree with y’all on this one. Not that she could’ve dodged or survived, but her death was unnecessary. The problem with today’s mangaka is that they view killing off characters as making their story good, when deaths like these kindve serve no other purpose than messing with the mc. All that time spent on Nobara, and most people didn’t feel sad when she died.

DW

The worst part is as soon as he ran away I was like “ he wants you to chase after him” and bam

Wolf

That’s if she’s really dead. After the Nanami fake out, I’m more on guard with these. Even I don’t think they’d kill two main characters back to back in a single arc but we’ll see.

Femto

Okay that makes so much more sense than anime time! Cause even if you used the anime time argument, she was dodging flawlessly in the beginning of the episode.

Wolf

These the same guys that think Wolverine can beat Thor lol I don’t even get mad anymore 😂

Wolf

Greatest Patreon comment rivalry of all time lol

Femto

@Brad Yeah that's what I was thinking. I mean sure, the real one being faster than the clone makes sense, and I'll take people's word for it. But from what I am reading from some manga readers, it just was not depicted well. Even if it all gets explained next episode, that's all good, just don't understand people's anger with pat, jerry, and rob having this initial take for this episode.

WildSnipez G

I mean it was both of their faults tbh, Nobara should have known Mahito was up to something, but lets not ignore how Itadori is fast af and couldn't catch up to Mahito, without his immunity he would dead 10 times over so it was his responsibility to handle the real one, if anything he got saved by Nobara, pretty sure thats the point Itadori will blame himself further more because of this

Luna Mé

I just hope Gojo is mentally prepared to find out how many people died while he was sealed.

Maxwinter

The anime left out an essential monologue from the narrator that clears the "dodging" argument. In the manga, it's made clear the actual mahito acted as a blind spot for the other one, so she couldn't tell that they swapped or that the second one was even there. It also emphasizes that Nobara isn't conscious of Mahito's hands anymore due to her previous altercation with him, where she fingers out, and he also straight up tells her he can't transfigure humans. On top of the numerous implications, she was also exhausted at that point, like how Mahito blatantly points out she was exhausting herself. And Her monologue about her not firing off attacks as rapidly anymore makes this argument that it's an inconsistency null

DW

Tbh rewatching it I can see these things that you and others have pointed out, but for me I didn’t need for it to be clear cut that she couldn’t dodge or that she didn’t know what was coming. As soon as he ran away and she gave chase, I knew it was done for her.

DW

But that makes sense she couldn’t see him until the clones ran right by each other

Woah

Agreed. She went all gung ho chasing Mahito and let her guard down, but as soon as she turned that corner she was screwed. Unfortunately the scene was just presented in a way that made it look like she was standing there for longer than she actually was.

Jacob Her

She stood there cause just like slow anime time. There’s fast anime time too.. I’m assuming she came down saw 2 Mahito and also Itadori, and she was trying to assess the situation.. but all that happened in like a couple seconds or something… just my thoughts on this part…

botanbutton

@DW in response to your criticism of Gege having Nobara die: I said this somewhere further up.....but I'm pretty sure that's the point. It may not work for a number of manga; but for JJK, I think Gege knows what he's/she's doing. Yes, Yuji is being messed with because Mahito IS messing with him. Nanami nor Nobara had to die...but it's what Mahito wanted to do, he has the strength to do it, so Gege did it. Their deaths left me feeling nothing, empty even (and I'm a very empathetic and emotional person tbh), because...it was pointless. We've spent enough time with the characters to know who they are and what they stand for but not nearly enough to see their full potential and what else they can do or be...like we've missed out on something and/or wasted time which could have been well spent. In quite a few ways, that's the nature of being a jujutsu sorcerer. This works perfectly for JJK's story. Making the audience cry from the loss of a character isn't the right and only way for a story to be interesting/good.

Kura

Dumb explanation unless the mahitos were vastly different sizes she would've seen both

Black Alazemi

i agree with Pat, it was a very pointless flashback

Tobii

That ost they played while yuji was bodying mahito was fire af

jessiefungirl

i checked the manga panels and the narrator said mahito blocked her vision so she couldn't see he switched

A. P.

The flashback was a bit long, but as it went on it drew me in more and more because I was so curious why the hell they were giving such a long flashback, so I'm not mad at it. And I'm not necessarily disappointed with how she died, more so how they animated it. They should've made the reason clear for she was just standing there "letting" Mahito touch her. Or it should've been like she got touched as soon as she turned the corner so she didn't have time to react or something, but this was definitely a bit odd. My guess though is that they were expecting us to assume that Mahito was just too fast for her to process Yuji being there, 2 Mahitos and dodging the hand.

Dexter

Rob need that paul meat out his mouth so cringe

Camari Selvy

yall do understand how much stronger the og is than the clone like there was nothing she could do by the time she saw the other mahito hes just that much faster. as yall saw yuji one shot the clone

DW

Don’t want you to spoil me, but I understand how this will affect the mc after everything he’s already feeling guilty for, but is invoking the feeling of pity for Yuji in the audience a worth trade for a character who’s screen time could’ve been better used to explain other things within the story ( a majority of the people watching jjk can’t explain curses and sorcerers)

DW

Now I’m not asking you to spoil you, just telling you my view on it

Wolf

Right. They need to understand power scaling. We saw how fast Naobito was with his cursed technique, yet he couldn’t outpace Jogo who took out him, Nanami and Maki. Jogo already claimed that Mahito was faster then him. The clone was obviously weaker then the real one with how easy Itadori took it out yet these guys think Nobara was supposed to be able to dodge the original? Doesn’t make sense.

Darren Metts

@Exrialhd I won’t discuss my trade but I’m definitely well of than many and certainly no where near jobless or broke 😂 I get paid more than double minimum wage and thats all I’ll say

@ExrialHd I’d honestly love to see if you could do it I’ve been hit with large stones over head bats jumped been in 1v2 1v3 and won never been knocked out in my entire fighting life not saying I could never be knocked out but it’s be hard to do one things for sure tho I would never get knocked out by some pussy who’s scared to even put their own name on the internet and hides behind an Alia’s 😂😂 that’s for damn sure I assure you don’t even know the first thing of being tough it’s crazy cuz you know that I know that you know that I know your a fraud and it lowkey scares you how confident and sure I am that I know YOU CANT FIGHT you’ve also been BULLIED and hardly done anything ABOUT IT how do I know you ask? Bro I used to beef I can spot a pussy from a mile away you all walk talk and move the same way you attack verbally first but run when the action takes place lol like I actually have a genuine question why do you try? Who hurt you bro? And why do you think anyone here will somehow belive your tough?😂😂 prove yourself in front of the people who whooped your ass not the nobodies in here 😂😂😂

Kayso

Past couple of episodes have been brutal. First Nanami now Nobara. At least Nobara got a hit in on Mahito. Itadori's face as he's thanking Nobara is wholesome 6:50. I was hoping they would fight alongside eachother against Mahito too. Itadori gone have to undergo a transformation or some shit next episode, he lost two of his comrades in front of him he's really bout to flip. I agree with y'all in the discussion. She dodged his hand right at 3:48 while fighting his clone beforehand and like Jerry said, she knew it was a double. After running the corner, I felt like she could've dodged him/put a nail through his hand from how the anime presented it. Regardless though I am sad about her death, as soon as his hand touched her face it was emotional for me. I'm not a manga reader, I'm just talking from anime only perspective so I could be wrong. From reading the comments I see there are differences in the manga.

Kayso

Lmfao facts, Rob really switched up at the drop of a dime. Praising her to trashing her. Crazy lmao. Just goes to show how fast they switch up on characters

Schlotzkovich

Late to comment but I liked the flashback. I welcomed it in between all of the fighting and felt it was needed for the pacing, as there is more insane action to come. I like that JJK does these like psychological dives into characters that are as contrived as the human mind tends to be. It feels like Gege is exploring these ideas with the reader, not as a lecturer, but as a student himself. I don't get what was so bad about it. I for one am glad it wasn't something overtly tragic or violent and that everyone has their own motivations for doing things, and for some people those motivations can be very vague or not straightforward or something that ultimately means nothing and just goes in a circle. Nanami was similar in tone. Just very human and grounded reasons for being where they were, but that didn't make their reasons less important or interesting to me. Nobara's whole thing is something very real that happens in Japan. There ARE a lot of people who have been run out of country side villages like this. People HAVE had their homes vandalized like Saori's was just for being different. This flashback explores that and does it in a way that is quite realistic if you were to go into someone's head and see what they were thinking. Did Nobara make opps out of people that were bad? Or were they just people stuck in their ways, but not bad people overall? It seemed that was the conclusion reached here, that it wasn't all that bad after all. But it is also left somewhat open to interpretation. She in a sense cursed herself or was cursed by the culture; The clash between traditionalism and modernism, the desire of some to stand out in a society that doesn't do well with that, all set to the tone of "thing's aren't as bad as I'm making them out to be despite what I just said". Using Smash Bros as a prop was more than just fan service to me, it grounded the flashback and world with something that is generally well liked by most people. Almost like, bitch you're complaining but here you are in the countryside playing smash bros with your friends dad. Shit aint that bad! I thought there was a lot here that was very thought provoking and symbolic. There's a lot of irony, with Nobara having a traditional CT that was a literal hammer and nail , playing into a popular saying "The nail that sticks up gets hammered down." referring obviously to the conformity heavy culture of Japan. Ironically, Nobara was safer with all the hammers back home that she perceived as trying to hammer her down, but she was happy to have taken her shot at the life she thought she wanted. From just an audio/visual perspective, the artwork was beautiful. I liked seeing just regular shit beautifully realized on the screen. The details in the scenes, in the stuff just sitting on a table, the pc, magazines, soda cans. It was also well directed and flowed well, with great music that hit on the tones it was going for. I think the general background art is something most fans don't seem to appreciate. A lot of the episodes have been masterful in that regard, especially in the Hidden Inventory portion, where I'm just very impressed with the quality and detail of the backgrounds. It's not just the animated frames that matter, but also the settings and backgrounds and how they're presented. Ultimately my real judgement for this flashback and the series overall is saved for when the series ends. Not all of the cards have been laid out on the table yet for this series. I for one hope Gege brings her back, as narratively he could easily do so with the tracks he's left for it. Seeing her flashback and it cut to the present with Yuji, I see Nobara as an important part of Yuji's life, as he was to hers. When she moves her hand and there's Gojo, Megumi, and Yuji, it's like they were what she gained from giving up her relatively good and safe life back home. That group are similar kindred souls to each other. Not that I'm expecting a happy ending or climax, but there are some insanely good payoffs that can be derived from this, if Gege so chooses to. We got enough going on if he doesn't too, so it is what it is. I wrote a lot, but it's been a while and I had some time today. Happy Sunday to everyone.

L takes from everybody besides Wellz. Sometimes I forget how slow these dudes can be on some story beats. Its really not rocket science to understand how Nobara got finessed, even if the anime showcased it a bit odd compared to the manga.

Yo all these people in the comments that think that flashback was good is trippin that shit was dookie 🤣🤣🤣

DW

I actually read this whole thing, trying to find comments that will actually convince me that this was a good death. I agree with the anime’s background art being on point, severely underrated. Your analysis helped me like it a little more, still don’t think it was good, but your explanation helps a lot

Nathan Miller

Mannn watching them just shit on Nobara just because one of the strongest they’ve fought finessed her and obviously is way faster than her , even if she decided to run there’s no guarantee she gets away with it, you just kinda ruin the characters whole run after saying how much you like her by pretty much declaring she only died because of stupidity which just ain’t true , then you wellz for at least trying to get them to understand what the manga wants

Kwaku Afari

I've read the manga and it's explained how she's caught off guard. There's been narration in this arc in the anime and I'm surprised they didn't add it for this scene also.
