Watching back for the 3rd or 4th time, I realized that this JJK episode actually used a LOT of real world photos of Shibuya. The ending was always questionable, but it's also definitely real images with a filter that makes the drawings feel natural. The end where they show the black hole is literally a Google maps image edited for effect lol 😆 not a jab, just an interesting thing I haven't seen before in anime!

2023-11-18 19:07:16 +0000 UTCTo clarify, the rank of Special Grade 1 is not above Grade 1, they are equivalent. Sorcerers who are not affiliated with the jujutsu schools are granted that rank. A lot of the big 3 clan members have that rank because they didn’t go to jujutsu school, but are of comparable skill. So Naobito is a Grade 1 level sorcerer who is “special” because he didn’t go through the traditional school route. That being said, Naobito is stronger than Nanami.

2023-11-18 09:05:35 +0000 UTCIt shouldn't be surprising that Nanami got burned -- but that he survived. Jogo wasn't weak by any means, except in comparison to Gojo. But Gojo's insanely strong. So because he gets his ass handed to him in Season 1, we forget that it's a faulty metric before we see him fight someone on a non-Gojo level. Zen'in Senior got dusted and he's Special Grade 1 -- one level above Nanami's Grade 1. Special Grade curses are no joke -- which says a lot that Sukuna ended Jogo and Gojo ended Hanami so easily. They had to seal him to have a chance at all. No one's on the same level as Sukuna or Gojo (non-manga reader).

2023-11-18 05:58:01 +0000 UTC#sundayrundown #JJK So the deal with Shoko Ieiri and Principal Yaga. Shoko essentially created a nurse's station on the outside of the main area to help heal those in need. She is literally the only person with the ability to use reverse curse technique to heal other allies' post-battle injuries. Also she has no known battle abilities. So Yaga is staying with her for protection. If she went into the fray, she would be more at risk, and in turn, everyone's option to heal like this could potentially be lost.

2023-11-18 01:12:04 +0000 UTCI like the OP playing during the final moment, mainly cuz the song is made from the point of view of a villain (probably sukuna) to someone 'special'. It is so cynic and sarcastic. It really mirrors sukuna taking his body to that site just so yuji can 'appreciate the view'. Quite heavy
Sora
2023-11-17 16:13:27 +0000 UTCfair but the difference in those situations it was a matter of no longer even looking for a way to survive (or throwing his life away). Here he had already suffered a fatal wound so there was no avoiding death this time as far as he could.

2023-11-17 13:20:22 +0000 UTCThe future of anime? I hope not. It's funny how everyone is super critical of Demon Slayer but when it comes to Jujutsu Kaisen, everyone just puts on a blindfold. Conceptually, this episode should have been amazing but it was not. The animation was all over the place. Some parts looked amazing and other parts looked like a complete mess. Some scenes were so disjointed and blurry that it was nearly impossible to follow what was happening at all. Also, why was the doctor and the teacher just chilling there with no reaction to the nuclear bomb level fight that just took place near them? What happened to the lava and fire landscape of last episode? What was the point of showing Yuji for a second when Sukuna hadn't transferred control back to him yet? This arc takes place during a busy city but we've seen no reaction from the police, military, news, or anything like that. At least with Almight vs One For All, everyone knew to stay away since Almight was the strongest professional hero. Episode gets a 7/10 from me. Yes, I'm nitpicking but it's weird how many anime viewers don't hold Jujutsu Kaisen to the same standard that they hold other shows. It was the equivalent of writing an essay the day before it's due and your teacher giving you a C and writing, "You passed, but I know you can do better." It sucks that Mappa's animators are working under horrible deadlines but they don't get bonus points just for being Mappa. It's an unfortunate truth that many anime studios have to work under similar conditions.

2023-11-17 05:41:59 +0000 UTC#SundayRundown It’s interesting that Megumi resorted to using this because it seemed like after his talk with Gojo that he was done “throwing his life away” and he’s been in close fights before too but here he was literally just lucky. He should be very dead. BTW the higher ups are prolly just standing around bc since Shoko is the only healer, they’re the ones delegated to protecting her specifically.

2023-11-17 02:12:24 +0000 UTCSo two things. First, to my understanding Sukuna's Domain Expansion is unique because it uses a pact to do away with the barrier that typically contains the landscape and targets. Doing so directly projects it's effects into regular space, but also means that no one is technically trapped inside it. Since his attacks are instantaneous and the range is massively expanded its barely even a trade off, as an escape route is meaningless if you're not fast enough to reach it. The question is weather or not he can choose to use the pact or not because if so that means he could have contained all of that destruction inside a typical Domain if he wanted to. Second the key thing to remember for scale sake is that Shibuya is still a part of Tokyo. It's a district, not a city unto itself and far more commercial than residential. Suraj had the right idea comparing it more to the Bronx vs all of NYC. Also I had the same reaction to the Principal and the Shoko XD.

2023-11-17 01:35:51 +0000 UTCIn regards to JJK, the crunchyroll anime translations are very interesting. In this episode Sukuna uses his domain expansion “Malevolent Kitchen”. In S1 and in the manga, his domain is called “Malevolent Shrine”. In this episode his cutting techniques are called “Fillet” and “Dissect”, while in the manga they are called “Cleave” and “Dismantle”. Ever since the Shibuya Incident arc came out in the manga, it has been theorized by the JJK community that Sukuna’s curse technique has to do with cooking. It is stated that Sukuna was a cannibal and he uses cutting and fire techniques, which makes this theory plausible. Now with this anime translation, it might have reinforced this theory.

2023-11-16 23:44:46 +0000 UTCIts your boy, Brakthir back with some JJK facts. In regards to the summoning ritual for shinigamis(manga readers were confused since its been Mahoraga in the manga but who knows), you can only gain control of the shinigami if you are the only one in the ritual and you manage to defeat it. If anyone else helps you defeat it, the ritual ends but you don't actually gain control of it. So, because Haruta was in the ritual and Sukuna was the one who killed Makora, Megumi does not have control of it. Secondly, no one in sorcerer history has ever successfully defeat Makora. The fight that Gojo mentioned stated that both the ten shadows user and the six eyes limitless user died. #SundayRundown

2023-11-16 18:48:26 +0000 UTCNo one recognised Lily/Anne from the buffy episodes. She was one of the girls who wanted to become a vampire in the club and she was also one of the girls kidnapped by demons when buffy went off the LA and worked in a diner.
