2024-12-18 23:46:29 +0000 UTClate to the game here cause i wanted to watch s2 by myself first. but toji fushiguro doesn't have cursed energy because he has the quality or whatever that lets people see curses, just like yuji did before he had any cursed energy. Yuji could see curses, he just couldn't hurt them because until he swallowed the first finger, he didn't have cursed energy of his own. Toji is different, he made a heavenly pact, similar to what mechamaru did to get his power. Think of heavenly pacts like kekkei genkai in naruto, except instead of being born into it, you make a pact with the "universe" or whatever. Heavenly pacts have immense power but also immense cost. In the case of mechamaru, he is literally crippled Toji's heavenly pact basically takes all of his cursed energy away, in exchange for massive physical prowess. So he's basically like JJK's version of rock lee. No Ninjutsu, only Taijutsu. Except in JJK if you don't have cursed energy, you can't do shit to curses, which is why Toji relies on his arsenal of cursed weapons. Under normal circumstances, if someone's cursed energy is too low, they can't see curses. but toji's heavenly pact makes his senses super enhanced, so he can naturally perceive curses Edit: none of this is spoilers. I double checked the past few episodes that all of this information was revealed, just bit by bit

2023-07-28 19:11:46 +0000 UTCI think the symbolization in the end with Gojo stepping from blue to red light, and Geto from red to blue, is a nice touch to show how their beliefs are starting to move in opposite directions ^^ In case you want to rewatch season 1 and the movie with all the new information, I would suggest doing it in the order of: * start of season 2 with Gojo/Geto backstory (ep 1-5) --> jjk0 movie --> season 1 --> rest of season 2 This will give you a chronological order of events :D

RorotheShadow
2023-07-28 13:14:41 +0000 UTCThis is the type of opinion that I warned you about Ron lol kids who have no idea about the medium that pipe up because their favorite show is getting outshined. From a purely visual standpoint - JJK has never looked better. Bleach has much much worse animation (I'm not saying Bleach is poorly animated though - just much worse than JJK S2).
Darby
2023-07-28 12:52:30 +0000 UTCThe Gojo in Season 1 and 0 Movie had perfected limitless and reversed cursed techniques while JJ Highschool Yr 2 Gojo had not therefore he got outsmarted by Toji and almost died. As you can see, that last scene is where the cracks start surfacing for Geto~ T-T Also, the cursed spirit around Toji's neck looks scarily familiar to something we saw in JJK 0 movie around someone else neck~
Phyllis
2023-07-28 11:41:39 +0000 UTCI feel like after season 2 ended, you guys could read the manga until the end of chapter from season 2 or at least check JJK's guide book (called "Jujutsu Kaisen official fan book" https://jujutsu-kaisen.fandom.com/wiki/Jujutsu_Kaisen_Official_Fanbook), since there are so many things explained by the author outside of the main story (usually he explains it in between chapters in manga and the guide book is kinda compilation of it with another additional stuffs), like I commented about it in the beginning of season 1. The guide book contains info until vol.15 so it should be the end of season 2, hopefully. When I make additional info comment I always make sure it's from the guide book or in between chapters that you guys already watched the episode on anime so it won't be a spoiler, but honestly it's confusing which that's why people sometimes seems to spoil, some people forget if those details are included in past episodes or later in manga's main story or in additional info at current point. Or some just hear it from someone else and don't know where's the source from. I'm pretty sure they're not try to give spoiler to you guys but it's just too much so they forgot the source. But if you don't get these additional info, you'll likely be confused for next stories so yeah that's why people try to explain. So I suggest you read it by yourself after season ended.
mamimumemo
2023-07-28 11:17:34 +0000 UTCOne of the worst takes I have ever seen, mappa had a time crunch to put this out among other top tier anime they had to release, this is peak anime right here, same with bleach, but you don’t know what those animators had to go through to put this out, ya lame.
Tyler odem
2023-07-28 10:25:08 +0000 UTCToji is not like Maki btw, Maki has cursed energy in her body like every living being, but she can't use it and doesn't have cursed technique, For exemple, she isn't invisible like Toji is Toji, on the contrary, has 0 cursed energy, but like 0. His Heavenly Pact is one of the rarest technique to appear, but it's also a Zen'in hereditary technique You could say that Toji is a very very buffed version of Maki, but as you've seen, the difference in jujutsu combat is enormous
Sylisen E.
2023-07-28 10:07:27 +0000 UTCThere isn’t anything to spoil. Toji’s senses are so heightened he can just see the cursed spirits like you can see anything else. Obviously its because of his heavenly restriction. That is all there is to it.
Davis Dambergs
2023-07-28 09:37:42 +0000 UTCIn reference to blue vs red theme. If you keep it relative to the cursed energy thematics. Blue is negative and red is positive. I feel like they are implying that Geto is negative (breaking bad) hence the blue and vice versa for Gojo. Or maybe I have read too much into it.

2023-07-28 08:31:54 +0000 UTCHe remembered Megumis name because Megumi means blessing, which was exactly what he said to Geto. My main Toji is ice cold lmao

2023-07-28 08:09:34 +0000 UTCThat clapping scene was made much better in the manga, that first time I saw that scene, I was just thinking, “Damn you Monkeys!”
Ivan Wen
2023-07-28 08:03:38 +0000 UTCMan these past couple of episodes have been amazing, especially the last two. Gojo finally realizing his reverse cursed technique was such a spectacle. The writing in this story is just unmatched when it comes to shonen manga, the way it can make you feel so hurt over Rikos death. You don’t even spend much time with her, but that final scene with all of the believers clapping and cheering around her corpse almost makes you wish that Gojo and Geto would’ve avenged her right then and there. JJK really gets under your skin when it needs to, and these last two episodes were great examples of that

Vaguely Vivid
2023-07-28 05:33:12 +0000 UTCyes before that fight gojo could only use blue, that was his first time using red n purple. The earlier episode he tried to use red on the paper bag guy but it didn't work

Shark
2023-07-28 04:58:34 +0000 UTCTo answer Michelle's question: Yes. It was Gojo's first time using purple hollow. At the beginning of the season you could see him try and use Reverse Cursed Technique: Red against the guy with the paper bag head. He failed to use it because he hadn't mastered Reverse Cursed Technique yet. When he was on the brink of death, it all started to make sense to him and he used Reverse Cursed Energy to heal himself. And to make Hollow Purple he needed to combine Blue and Red
Jason
2023-07-28 04:53:27 +0000 UTCIt is not explored that much in Toji's backstory. If I have to put it simply, Toji wanted to take down the Zenin Clan and the world that reject him. But after meeting Megumi's mom (Mamaguro), he just wanted to live a normal life with his wife and kid. He named his son Megumi, which means 'Blessing', because he finally found a place where he belong. We can see in this season that Toji kinda falls into his old habit again because something happened to Mamaguro. It is not specifically mentioned what happened to Mamaguro, but we can assume that she died. If we go back to season 1, Megumi mentioned that he has a step-sister(Tsumiki), and Tsumiki's mom and Toji just disappeared. Megumi thought Toji ran away with his new wife, so he didn't know that Toji died. If I remember correctly, Toji's life with Mamaguro is not mentioned in the plot of the manga at all. It is mentioned in the manga extra page(?), so I think his backstory won't be mentioned in the future episode as well.
Nita.J
2023-07-28 04:47:36 +0000 UTCIt could be my recency bias but this is the best JJK has ever been in terms of visuals. The crazy thing is - this wasn't even the most stacked staff-list that this season will have, which is exciting. As someone who worked in animation production for almost a decade, don't listen to anyone who claims this episode was 'mid'. Arifumi Imai directed/storyboarded this episode (pretty much animated any and all Levi/ODM scenes in AoT), and Tam Lu showed out animating the Hollow Purple sequence. Not to mention Teppei Ito's best compositing work to date. It's really unfortunate how hamstrung the staff is on this season -- to put it in perspective: Chainsaw Man had a below average production schedule; JJK has half the resources and time that CSM did.
Darby
2023-07-28 04:41:59 +0000 UTCNext episode isn't a recap. It's the final episode of the Hidden Inventory/Premature Death Arc. Then after that, we'll have a recap of the movie JJK0, the following week will be a recap of S1, then a break, and then the start of Shibuya is August 31.
Darby
2023-07-28 04:35:10 +0000 UTCI think Toji can somehow see the curse spirits but i won't say anything else since it might be a spoiler so you'll just have to wait for the explanation💁🏻♀️ Also if you didn't get it, you're right it was Gojo's firt time using Purple Hollow. What the anime was trying to explain in the first 2 episodes and in this one is that back then even if Geto and Gojo were already the strongest, they were still teenagers who needed to developed their techniques. Gojo didn't know how to use the reverse curse energy so before that fight with Toji he couldn't heal himself or use red or purple hollow at all. Also Geto didn't know he couldn't absorb a curse spirit with a "master", he had to kill the master first in order to absorb it (what he later tried to do with Yuta). The fight with Toji forced them both into a knew level of power and consciousness in the jujutsu world. Toji is a lengendary character👌🏼all the fandom loves him💜

Carter Gavigan
2023-07-28 02:45:18 +0000 UTCI cried when toji died. The last thing he thought about was his son megumi and his wife. This was depressing and he was such a likeable character. He made such an impact in the short amount of time he was here. He truly cared about megumi and he named megumi after the word “blessing” which was so beautiful and gives the name a whole new meaning. Btw megumi does not know the truth about his dad.
Amber Augustine
2023-07-28 02:42:07 +0000 UTCYou are embarrassing us bleach fans. Please stop both are doing well, there was nothing wrong with this episode. Stop setting up bleach.
FW
2023-07-28 02:31:16 +0000 UTCThank you for explaining Gojo's and Geto's dynamic and relationship in such detail and so well too 👌🏻👌🏻. I personally think that a lot of people often don't fully understand these particular scenes, so thanks for the great explanation. I was actually thinking that I should write something about this too, but you did the work for me haha 😂😂
RorotheShadow
2023-07-28 02:30:56 +0000 UTC(THIS IS NOT A SPOILER) To really understand in the end of the episode, Geto is functioning as Gojo's moral compass. Geto confronts humanity's ugliness while turning Gojo away from it. Gojo would have killed them if Geto had stated so. There will no longer be the existing Gojo Satoru. It will be an entirely different story. The symbolism here is Gojo walking away after Geto tells him it's meaningless, but Geto facing those people who are clapping at the death of an innocent girl. Geto is a sympathetic person who thinks too much, which causes him to be emotional. He stopped Satoru, but he is now lost. Keep in mind that these are simply youngsters. Gojo's moral compass was Geto. Geto's original ideas are still alive and well in adult Gojo. The "meaning" behind actions. In season 1, for example, Gojo can just kill out higher ups because he despises them. But what's the point when the corruption isn't going away? That is why he opted to be a teacher. Gojo wishes to establish a world in which young sorcerers do not have to perish or destroy their youth as a result of this broken system. Because he lost his "moral compass" "blue spring of youth" the person who always directed him to make the right decision to the corrupted jujutsu society. You'll see how essential Geto is in Gojo's life.

2023-07-28 02:22:07 +0000 UTCBy the way, the whole thing about the "Heavenly Pact" is actually very interesting. Having a Heavenly Pact really just means that you don't have something in particular, but you have something else in abundance. - Maki, for example, has no curse energy, so she cannot see curse spirits or use curse techniques, but was born with superhuman strength instead - Toji's Heavenly Pact is very similar to Maki's, but also different. He also has no curse energy, and has superhuman strength for it. The only difference between his Heavenly Pact and Maki's is that not only Toji's physical strength but also his 5 senses are greatly enhanced (which he also mentioned at the beginning of this episode) - And then there are also people with a Heavenly Pact that goes in exactly the opposite direction. Having a Heavenly Pact doesn't mean that you always don't have curse energy, but very strong instead. Do you remember Mechamaru, Todo's classmate? He suffers under a Heavenly Pact too. He was born with enormous curse energy that he can use at very great distances, which is why he can control his robot easily. But in exchange for this enormous curse energy, he was born without his right arm, he's also paraplegic from the waist down and his skin is so sensitive that even moonlight can burn it (he mentioned all in his fight against Panda, by the way). From this you can actually see that a Heavenly Pact is not always the same and is actually not that rare in the world of jujutsu sorcerers

Michael
2023-07-28 02:13:54 +0000 UTCyeah that's what the author explained. the curse and Toji already had master-slave relationship, so Geto couldn't steal it. there are a lot of info written between chapters so it's kinda hard for anime only users to follow, I guess.

botanbutton
2023-07-28 02:09:40 +0000 UTCI liked this episode better too in terms of anime adaptation 😁 but still hoping you guys will read the manga too since there are a lot of sick shots from manga panels and also additional info between chapters. Additional info of Toji Fushiguro, the author said after he left Zenin clan he had been wandering around women's houses then met Megumi's mom, and they had Megumi. Then the mom died, Toji went back to how he was again, didn't care about anyone including himself and wandering around women again. Then he got together with Tsumiki's mom (Tsumiki is Megumi's step sister) but he never at home so that's why he forgot about Megumi. It's pretty sad that before he died he remembered about his ex wife and his son. He's saying "you're not my type" to Geto's curse is kinda funny though, because he knows how to get around woman 😂 As for hollow purple, I think it's Gojo's first time using it because in a few last episodes he couldn't even use red. Remember how Itadori used black flash and Megumi used domain expansion for the first time? Jujutsu sorcere's growth is not constant, they could be taught and trained to be stronger but only at the verge of death/emergency that they suddenly get stronger.
mamimumemo
2023-07-28 02:09:02 +0000 UTCWell, his Heavenly Restriction *is* what gives him zero cursed energy. IIRC even normal people have a small amount of cursed energy (see Megumi's line to Yuji to the effect of "Normal people can only see curses in unique circumstances, like near death"). Having literally none is a unique/rare case that only happens through Heavenly Restriction. How Toji was reacting to Geto's curses is not confirmed in the anime though.

AnnaSama
2023-07-28 01:52:02 +0000 UTCNOT A SPOILER JUST MISSED INFO.I saw this guy (@sgcastle8389) on another reaction writing : " It wasn't clear here but Toji didn't do anything at that moment, the curse spirit itself rejected Geto, which gave the opportunity for Toji to act. It's implied that it's in this fight that Geto learned that he can't steal a curse linked to someone else, which is why in JJK 0 he planned to Kill Yuta so he could get Rika." I literally just stole the comment but I learned something interesting, maybe someone else will too.

Hunter Uchiha
2023-07-28 01:50:45 +0000 UTCTo refresh your memories: in season 1 Megumi mentioned one or two times that his father left him without any given reason and that he's probably living somewhere far away and just forgot about him. So he doesn't know that Gojo killed his dad

2023-07-28 01:47:57 +0000 UTCNow...I know I got an email about Fire Force....(•ิ_•ิ)? Don't play wit me (눈_눈;) lmao I don't think I ever took into consideration that Toji can't see cursed spirits since dude moves like he can. If his five senses are enhanced then it's likely that he CAN see them, hear them, feel them in some way. Not clearly but it's apparent (like blurry smears and muffled sounds). But yeah, watching this has enhanced what I read in the manga for these chapters. *chef's kiss*

konakaisen
2023-07-28 01:39:16 +0000 UTCToji really pulled a Johnny Cash there naming Megumi what he did (if you know the song I’m referencing enjoy the laugh). Megumi IS a feminine name traditionally but as he said last episode, HE CANT REMEMBER THE NAMES OF GUYS SO 🤷 LEAST HE NAMED HIM SOMETHING HE’D REMEMBER EVEN IF IT TOOK ANOTHER TWO EPISODES. /jk I do actually find it really precious he essentially named his son ‘Blessings’ in hopes he’d have a better life than his own if not to reference Megumi as being one of the few ‘blessings’ in his own life despite the route it took, especially post Mamagumi. 😔
Cas
2023-07-28 01:37:02 +0000 UTCAs a manga reader I don't want to confirm or deny any of this since that in itself is kind of a spoiler but as a precaution, I recommend leaving anything a manga reader has told you out of the comments cause you never know if it's just speculation on that person's part or potential spoilers.
andIJDC
2023-07-28 01:31:04 +0000 UTCTough one, i think this episode was really good!!! but episode 3 was just sooo shocking. I feel like at the end when geto is hearing the applause is when he starts to show a different side. I think gojo being on the brink of death allowed him to grasp everything about cursed energy and he was able to do Reversal Red which he failed before and purple for the 1st time. Toji was soooo cool tho

Jhn
2023-07-28 01:14:39 +0000 UTCSo im not sure how true this is but I do know that Michele is correct. Toni CANNOT see cursed spirits because he has zero cursed energy. If you look at Getos first attack in the beginning, Toni was just standing there smiling as Geto sent the Rainbow Dragon towards him, he couldn’t see the dragon. However, someone said , Toji can look at the air and see the curses distorted like cloak kinda in the air. So think of when someone turns invisible, you can still kinda see like a clear crystal like outline of them right. So that’s kinda what Toji can see when he is looking for curses. This hasn’t been confirmed in the anime yet so idk how true that is but I heard it from someone (not sure if they’re a manga reader or not) So it’s either that or his Heavenly Pact allows him to see curses. Has to be either one because a regular person with zero cursed energy can never see curses under normal circumstances. So it has to be he sees their aura or his heavenly pact gives him the ability to see. But it hasn’t been confirmed yet.
