“Is this romantic?” Weeeellll…if you thought that of the movie, season 2 should be a fun watch lol

Alejandra Sansores

"Is this romantic" well, as long as they said no homo…

Anna Lena Ciplajevs

(guy dies) “I’m sure he’s fine,” “Oh what? Oh what? The angels are attacking,” “Christmas Eve…100 demons… Okay, Mob Psycho season 3,” “Destroying them wouldn’t be satisfying. Controlling them would be so much better,” “Taking out the dirty foreigner: much higher priority,” “Yes, very much. Please destroy him,” “I can’t wait to see Gojo just eliminate fools,” “One of the greatest risks is power consolidating too much so that one person can affect an entire population,” “Punched him so hard a guitar solo started,” “So anime. So protagonist,” (sees Miwa) “YES. Best. Girl.” “Is he talking about her consuming him? Gross, but okay,” “Where’s my cursed demon spirit that will love me like that?” “The power of obsess-I mean, love,” “Oh no it’s a lost in translation ending. ‘I love you. I love you?’ Is this romantic? Is this romance?” “I expect that Gojo will be incapacitated or taken out in some way, just ‘cause he’s too good to exist,”

Part 2 in the reply “This is the ‘im gonna scold you’ room,” “If only you could turn that lens on yourself, if only you could be your own audience,” “I’m guessing sister,” (as Rika presents a ring box) “GIRLFRIEND. He had a girlfriend when he was still playing in the sandbox? I’m impressed,” “Be nice to him or die,” “School is a very prime culprit for negative emotions,” “People will support your greatness and give you strength, but that greatness and strength in some sense will always be a personal journey,” “Gojo does what he wants. ‘I will crush you like an ant if I want,” “What is it with you people and just killing kids?” “Closet badass. Strikes again,” “We need to locate the medicine. And also imbue the sword with the power of your ex-fiancée,”

Geneva The Weeba

Apropos a mention of Magneto in this video: The current status of mutants in Marvel comics is super interesting and, if ever you decide to take up reading based reactions on this Patreon, I'm going to highly *highly* recommend the House of X/Powers of X event that set it up as something you'd likely find compelling and chock full of ideas worth discussing.

return to monke

Chris Sharpe

Damn, now I have to go back and read Geto/Gojo fanfic again, huh. Why you gotta do me like that movie

Anna Lena Ciplajevs

Yeah, totally, I love Maki. But she seems to be a bit more sociable later in the series.

Chris Sharpe

yeah it literally makes no sense to skip, idk why ppl are thinking its even an option

benj

I wouldn't call that a "fun" fact lmao. I love Maki's abrasiveness in this movie, this was actually by far the most I've enjoyed her character and I now understand why everyone was hyping her up so much during season one. Miwa still best girl though.

benj

Fun fact: The man who ran over Rika was the guy they found dead in the juvenile detention center. That explains why Megumi was so angry and said “what if someone you save kills someone”. Maki seems more abrasive in this film likely because she had just left her terrible family and hadn’t gotten rid of many of the rough edges.

Chris Sharpe

@DefaultGoblin/benj I'm pretty sure the hidden inventory arc is confirmed by Mappa so rest assured it's definitely getting adapted. It's too important to skip and also introduces two really important characters that are pivotal to the story. Not to forget the 1st teaser visual basically alludes to that arc, I can't imagine they would skip it.

Bighead

Ohhh yeah. And a lottttt of the just 1 or 2 frame animations throughout the film were incredibleeee. Like Rika’s background energy building behind Yuta before he imbued it into the sword against that curse, or the final finishing frame shot of Nanami’s flex sequence? Fuckin *chefs kiss* unreal art

Jake White

The OP is so gorgeous it brought a tear to my eye when I first watched it. I love those long still frames of Yuta walking around the campus.

benj

if they skip the gojo arc i will literally stop watching the show lmfao

benj

I also don’t know if anyone’s said this yet and Patreon is being janky on me today and not loading all comments lol. Regarding that end credit scene, I don’t know if it’ll be covered in Season 2 or if that scene was as much as they’ll leave it at; but in short terms I’ll just say that, yes that was when the first season mentioned that Yuta was overseas on a mission. And Gojo going over there to visit Yuta real quick was the destination for where he was before he returned in episode 14 to the Tokyo vs Kyoto arc with gifts to pass out from his trip

Jake White

Ah that's interesting. Maybe explains why it fits so well with the main series

Alex G

Great stuff, thanks!

Alex G

In terms of consolidated power the mini convo between Geto and Gojo in that flashback reveals a lot. Geto's goal does seems crazy and unrealistic, but if he had Gojo's power it would easily become a reality. If he wanted to Gojo could kill every single person in Japan and nobody could really fight back against him. If they switched ideologies the movie would be a lot shorter lol.

Jake White

if they skip the fucking gojo arc i will cry

DefaultGoblin

ive always wondered how someones reaction to the show could change if they had watched the movie first.

DefaultGoblin

These are just some references made in the anime that ties into this movie - Megumi said Yuta is probably the only senpai he respects the most, while introducing the 2nd years to Nobara - It's said that Todo defeated one special grade and 5 first grade curses during the night parade of the 100 demons. It's unfortunate the fight wasn't included in the movie or the manga though. - Geto originally wields playful cloud(the 3 linked staff weapon). And during the anime, we see Maki and Megumi use it against Hanami(the earth curse). Though while wielding it, Maki says she doesn't like using it probably due to the fact that it was Geto's - Nanami and his record of the 4 consecutive black flashes. - And all the times we saw Geto in season one, not using his cursed energy and working from the shadows since he doesn't want Gojo or the jujutsu sorcerers to know of his whereabouts is obviously ominous foreshadowing. - Also, during the tournament arc, it's mentioned that Yuta was the only first year who attended the tournament in Kyoto and the tokyo school took the overwhelming win. This was also prior to Yuta freeing Rika Todo also mentions how Yuta was the only one who could defeat him and holds him in high regard. That's pretty much all I caught onto

Bighead

Man, Mappa really broke their whole foot off in this film. It’s so damn gorgeous and incredibly well made.

Jake White

No they said they are doing Hidden Inventory arc. Plus they got a pretty damn good fight in there and an important piece of the story.

Chaos

Now i finally have a reason to watch this movie! also, when gojo put up the veil in the beginning at the school, yuta had the same reaction as yuji: "it's turning into night!". thought it was funny

Biganon

Oh gotcha, a good observation as usual. Season 2 will shed some light on that, anyway good reaction as always, looking forward to seeing you react to season 2!

Chaos

Ah yeah that makes sense. I think when I said that I was thinking more in terms of where they stand in the story, with the links being Geto - Gojo and Mahito Yuji. Kind of like All Might-All for One and Deku - Shigaraki. But that might not be right either

Alex G

Geto is not the equivalent of Gojo, special grade is the highest rank achievable only 4 people hold the title of, but like the fight between the finger bearer and Sukuna in the early episodes on season 1, there's often a massive difference between even special grades. Think of it as a top .1% and a top .001%, the gap between an absolute anomaly and someone of extreme skill is still big.

Chaos

That adds a lot of relevant details to a general feeling of unease I already had about her lol

Alex G

That's such a nice touch, wish I caught it

Alex G

If they do a direct manga adaptation then that whole geto, gojo focused backstory should be part 1 of the next season, they might just skip to shibuya though idk.

Rice

Wait lmao I’ve read the manga but I didn’t read JJK0, so is rika like actually just an insane child and that’s why she responds so well to Yutas cursed energy? Like is she actually a murderer??? That would be low key insane lmao. Because we know from the manga that Yuta is obviously strong enough to create a special grade curse apparition, he literally does it in this movie, but I always wondered why his first attempt as a child was so successful. This was before he received any training at all… this is very very interesting.

Rice

- Rika’s mother died suddenly from unknown causes when Rika was five. - Two days before entering elementary school, Rika and her father got lost while mountain climbing. One week later, Rika was found alone and rescued from a shelter near the summit. - At the hospital, she met Yuta, who was being treated for pneumonia. They later ended up going to the same elementary school. - Her father was never found, and his death was never confirmed. - Aware of how her appearance is perceived, Rika sometimes manipulates adults. - Rika was taken in by her grandmother on her father’s side, who strongly believed Rika killed both her parents. - Rika stole the ring she gave Yuta from her grandmother’s dresser. It was her mother’s wedding ring. - When she was human, Rika was very friendly with Yuta’s younger sister. However, after becoming a vengeful curse, she became aggressive, which is why Yuta distanced himself from his family. - She dislikes everyone except Yuta - especially girls and older guys. - The thing she dislikes the most in the world is her grandmother’s stewed eggplant. - She loves Yuta.

Hofitel

The character write-up for Rika in the manga is super interesting. I'll leave it below if anyone is interested. We don't see any of her backstory illustrated. All we have are these notes.

Hofitel

yeah Maki was the real MVP from this movie no cap

benj

If you side-by-side Geto in this movie with Geto in season 1 you'll see a particular difference in their appearance that will lead you to even more questions

Rekway

There really is something very Eva-esqe about this movie. From Shinji's VA, to the why are you at jujutsu high speech, and the higher up's doing their best SEELE impersonation; I totally felt the Eva Vibes emanating from this movie. One of my favorite anime movies personally.

NotJustEngineering

The animation is still top tier. So beautiful and really engrosses you into the Jujutsu world. Also Inumaki is best boy.

Athena

i feel this so hard

Gabriel Barott

Not sure if you noticed but the Nanami action scene was him doing his record 4 consecutive black flashes

_ scüp

Oh man. I've been so busy recently that I haven't been able to catch up with reactions. But I just have to say that I had so much fun with this movie that it really made me start reading the manga. Also this movie made me a big fan of best girl, Maki!

Hofitel

He said: "I do plan on watching it but might be a little while"

Merfhew

Any plans to watch To Your Eternity Season 2 now that it has started airing? I really hope it doesn't get lost in the deluge of content.

Tristan

Haha yeah i figured, but I wanted to make sure you knew

macrowave

brother i have been WAITING for this reaction to drop. i saw this movie when it originally came out in theaters back in March. my friend works for a movie theater so she got me in for free (free popcorn as well) and it was such an experience. i've watched it 3 times since it came to crunchy roll last month

Nox

"Hes kinda like Shinji." They even share the same voice actor

_ scüp

Thanks! I do plan on watching it but might be a little while

Alex G

I know you've got a TON on your plate but just to let you know season 2 of To Your Eternity started

macrowave

Damn I didn't know this, love that.

benj

Yuta has the same VA as Shinji! They definitely gave me a similar vibe too.

Megan

Can’t wait to watch! Been waiting for this one

M2GZ

Such a great movie, but I'm gonna have to watch this reaction tmrw. Can't wait to hear your thoughts, I was so hyped in the theatre watching this mainly because of all the Gojo/Geto focus.

benj

Thank you to the engineer who designed the camera to do that

benj

yesss this upload means I can finally eat my food. can't eat dinner w/o a video to watch ;P

willmarko

The camera was unfocused for some reason for the first few minutes but then corrected itself
