The pain is over, for now at least. We were happy to see Yuta for all of 30 seconds 🤣 Although it was hard to watch at times, this arc was extremely entertaining. One of the best Shonen arcs we've seen on the channel, for sure. What did you guys think?

I really enjoyed how curses work in JJK and its mechanism aspect at first but I feel like it became its weakness down the line. All the techniques, cursed tools, and Rika stuff all get explained but it wasn't very convincing in my opinion. It's just 'bang bang almighty magic curse energy doing magic'. Lots of 'actually..' and 'secret property is...' moments. If you let go of those details of technicalities it's still a cool series tho.

I think JJK power system is one of the most interesting in anime and probably my favorite. I will agree that the Rika and Yuta situation is a little strange and we were convinced that he no longer had Rika, but when u think about it a little bit, it kind of makes sense. We know Rika as a curse was a manifestation of Yutas cursed energy, he was the one who created her and bound her soul to the curse, after releasing her soul at the end of the movie, all that did was separate Rika from the curse that Yuta created. So basically, “Rika” is just a manifestation of Yutas cursed energy, and even if you took that away from him, we can assume he’d just be able to create another curse again anyway. In other words, what he has is not really “Rika” since Rikas soul is no longer there, it’s a curse he wields that he just calls Rika

I really, really disliked this episode when it aired - I paced around my apartment for 20 minutes afterward to burn off frustration. Took a few days longer than normal to watch the reaction here. I'm honestly not sure how to feel about this season as a whole. - The first five episodes set a bunch of stakes with Amanai Riko and Tengen, then never brought it up again. I guess we were lied to about her importance. - My favorite characters are Fushiguro and Nobura and they barely got any good moments. - Even purely action-wise, I think my three favorite fights in the show are all still from the first season. - This finale had no action or emotion and was largely just muggles getting ganked, a quick Yuta cameo, and a bunch of setup for next season just getting thrown at us? - The entire season was everybody fighting to get to Geto to save Gojo. Everyone (still alive) gets to Geto in the finale, and then...he just vanishes? They don't even show it. Does he teleport away? Fly away? How the heck did they all let him get away? The screen just goes dark - what the heck is that?? But what I disliked the most about this episode was that it felt like the entire genre of the show is now going to change next season. Rewatching it now, I'm recognizing maybe this was just a misunderstanding on my end all along. Maybe I will end up loving season 3, and then this season will look better to me in hindsight as a way of getting there. Maybe I will rewatch it 8 times and like it more with each viewing. I guess time will tell. Comments on Patreon and on Crunchyroll in particular also have me feeling like the only person in the world who wasn't pure hype for this arc :/

I though this arc was some of the best shounen anime I've ever seen, honestly. I'm 34 years old and have seen quite a bit. It was mature, emotional, funny at times, and utterly epic.

I'm so very confused with this season... and i'm usually the one winning all my anime trivia games :/ I can't tell if it's the writing or just weird story telling of said writing or if im being dense. I was so excited in season 1, then got somewhat interested in geko/gojo's backstories, but then just.. huh? Everything felt chaotic and random... even the clutch moments sometimes felt like deus ex machina IN THAT INSTANT, only to be "explained" with a backfill flashback or some narration... Look if the damn narrator has to come in and explain to us what Mahito figured out from previous fights in the competition and to create something like poly deus dump of random info in 0.02s in the middle of the attack itself and not letting us process, then that just feels like a last second cop out. At least show those "lessons learned" or "hints about a technique" earlier and put in some easter eggs and foreshadowing... the show just straight up doesnt trust its audience to understand some stuff with trails of breadcrums ahead of time, and then goes on to just assume everyone should understand everything in this exact moment because the narrator told you so, without actually letting anything breathe or let us use our brain... the show doesnt trust you to predict stuff or see motives or potential rises and falls, it just..does things... and then goes "you werent going to get that anyway because i think you're dumb so ima just say TRUST ME BRaH and then narrate over it without giving any reasoning... ) .. it's like someone said here, there's just weird plot armor for the evil folk. Also, in the fight of itadori, right before the rabits scene, Itadori had "a second mouth" on his face, similar to sukuna apparations, but no one, not even the show is acknowledging any of this... did the animators just say fuck it and put it there? or is it implied something else? there's no goddamn context to anything in this season.

How do so many people not realize that thing on yujis face was not Sukuna, it’s a wound, Mahito slashed open Yujis cheek so there’s literally a hole in Yujis face and u can see his teeth through the hole, it is not Sukuna. I didn’t even bother to read your whole comment cuz it just seems like a bunch of baseless yapping without any understanding of the themes the show is trying to present and the direction the plot is moving to
