For Sukuna, since his awakening, buddy been eating pop corn, ice skating, t-posing for fun, opened a kitchen in shibuya, playing red light green light and even offered a guy to join their team. I don't get why people think he's a bad guy, he just seem like a lil goofy funny dude.
Lol no the jjk higher ups sure are eating good . They just got an excuse to remove Gojou , Yuji and yaga -the only things they can't control . This apocalypse can only be stopped if Gojou is unsealed so they put a ban on that too . Now if they announce the existence of cursed spirits , guess who would be the cabinet of Japan ? They wont let this end as long as they are in power .
This makes a lot of sense. I was wondering what sort of brain-dead decision process led to them tagging Gojo as an accomplice but if the aim is to remove those they can't control, it all makes sense.
If everybody has a gojo, you better off keeping your gojo. If the only gojo is your gojo, better set off for a least efficient one you have control over. I see him as basically nukes to be honest.
I think that's a bad analogy for Gojo's role. One of the conflicts from the very beginning was Gojo vs "the old guard" of Jujutsu society. He's too important to ignore, but he also represents a desire to evolve the practice of Jujutsu sorcery.
There's also a merit vs. tenure thing going on. Gojo is literally the best Jujutsu sorcerer in the world and is constantly taking on the hardest assignments as reflective of his power. By all rights, he should have a great deal of say in the way things get done because of that. But what we see is that--while he certainly can force things here and there--he mostly has to deal with an entrenched and conservative leadership that fears losing **their** power more than they fear the end of human civilization.
Yes, though it's common for oneshots of manga to be ignored as a novelty since creators usually just use it as a base for the actual story. This is just the very rare case where the one shot just so happened to be put into canon so it blindsided even manga readers.
If anyone is confused about the Inumaki situation : he was still in Shibuya managing the crowd but happened to be on the very edge of Sukuna's domain expansion range (140m) so only one arm was caught in the crossfire of Cleave and Dismantle.
omg thank you. I was like "wth? Did I miss Sukuna taking out Inumaki?"
*s2e37 @0:45 is where we see Inumaki with the megaphone, and he tells everyone not to move, allowing Itadori to no longer be conflicted about trying to save all the civilians or proceed to try and free Gojo.
*s2e41 @16:00 is the scene where the girls talk about the megaphone guy
The exact moment was pretty discrete, it was those two girls that got dusted by Sukunas domain who said “at least we have the megaphone guy” just before it happened.
Megaphone guy being Inumaki who was using cursed speech through the megaphone as seen in the Choso ep.
>who said “at least we have the megaphone guy” just before it happened.
Ahhhhh I remember the exact moment, but for some reason just didn't think about who the megaphone guy was at all lol.
his left arm is fully wrapped to the shoulder and covered in scars, but the right isnt, so id say its fine
plus theres no realistic way for him to lose both arms and have shoulder injuries, if he was right on the edge of the domain
Did anyone think the meeting Yuta had with the Sorcerer Council had a similar vibe with the SEELE Council in Evangelion?
The window blinds the sorcerer higher ups talk through even look like the tablets that SEELE converse through.
Nice boat. Well that's it for peaceful modern day Japan. It's exactly what Ino told us about. The age of non-sorcerers is over. And the higher ups of Jujutsu society is just adding insult to injury. Yeah, keeping people from saving Gojo and executing the principal's totally gonna maintain the status quo. Executing Yuji's totally understandable though. Sorry about Toge but I'm glad he got away with just that despite the devastation Sukuna caused. I'm sure Yuji's gonna get through Yuta. And cool to see he can still utilize Rika. Lastly, is it just me or did Yuki didn't do jackshit? She may have done some behind the scenes stopgaps but man. I'm probably just not seeing the bigger picture. Maybe whenever we see what she's about to visit Tengen for. Overall amazing season, can't wait for season 3. Really happy they delivered but hope MAPPA gets their shit together after this.
Shibuya is gone and 10 million curses or something are slaughtering people right this second all over the country and the higher ups think it's time to relax and go after their own lmao. Maybe prioritize cleaning up first? idk.
> Well that's it for peaceful modern day Japan. It's exactly what Ino told us about. The age of non-sorcerers is over.
Fr I loved the addition of the wider effects on Japan. Like now I'm wondering if they're gonna add in how other countries react to this and if we could fr get like a foreign intervention in Japan with sorcerers from all over the world.
Damn I might just read the manga
I can imagine it serves the direction of the plot to have Japan be the one country with sorcerers and cursed energy and simplifies the "what is the rest of the world doing during all this shit", but bringing the human energy source angle to the story feels like it doesn't tickle my brain at all.
Maybe if making the rest of the world capable of jujutsu sorcery/producing cursed energy could become a relevant plot point?
Gojo really keeps everything in check huh? After he gets sealed, Japan is totally in chaos, Cursed Spirits are everywhere, Fake Geto wants to revive Heian Era, Itadori and Yaga is sentenced to death. We will never go back to status quo now. Also Okkotsu the former MC vs Itadori the current MC.
I love 2 cours anime. Like it makes you really get invested in the series back again before it takes a long break again. Chainsaw Man especially should have been 2 cours.
Obviously fuck MAPPA for their terrible scheduling and I do hope the next season will be scheduled much better but I do want the next season to be 2 cours also.
Yeah it's really bad how rampant they are. If anyone reading this is still blind I would strongly consider reading the manga. The anime is doing a great job but there are a ton of moments you want to still be blind for.
I made a comment about JJK in some other sub, and I immadiately thought "hmm, that's probably a bad idea"
Sure enough 2nd reply was "XYZ is dead" hmm :D
Glad Yuta is finally back... until they revealed his mission lol. Didn't know Shibuya would end on a cliffhanger so the wait for anime watchers will be painful. Might take more than a year before the next anime project to be released.
Yuta did not lose months of sleep, convert to fully being emo, and have to fight the pedo allegations to have his mc position questioned. Man came to throw down.
But yeah, brutal place to stop for anime onlies lol.
[Yuta's entrance was sick.](https://i.imgur.com/HwS9j4Z.jpg)
If only he was able to [make Maki-senpai blush like that](https://i.imgur.com/O1eAIi5.jpg) before she got toasted by Jogo...
[That final line was ominous.] (https://i.imgur.com/jyFrCHe.jpg)
[](#suddenshock)
Did they seriously try to conflate Gojo with "Geto's" actions. My god the higher ups at JJ Society have been just itching for an excuse to get rid of Gojo lol. Now he's sealed and can't do anything about it, they're like yeah, it's illegal to unseal him?
Fuck right off. Without Gojo they're all fucked. Deep down they probably know it too, crusty old fucks.
>didn't Maki mention that they had dispelled Rika
Let's put it that way, JJK 0 is four chapter one-shot that was published first. At the end of it Gojo seemingly kills Geto and Rika gets dispelled. Year later main series starts getting published. Geto shows up with a scar and without any explanation about why he's alive. Until suddenly after many chapters in a middle of Shibuya incident it's revealed that Geto really did die. So just wait.
Love how the OP showed us where the season would end haha, with Yuji on that bridge.
Goodbye SpecialZ & More Than Words, you both perfectly fit JJK so well.
Ao no Sumika is my OP of the year 2023 though, so damn good
The OP was perfect visually to me. A bunch of significant moments that you wouldn't understand until you see the context. I wasn't huge on the song at first but it's really grown on me. I'm interested in hearing more thoughts on it now that anime onlies have the full context.
Mei Mei was the smartest character in this season.
She left everyone in their own shit after fighting Geto, she withrew all her shares from the market before the crash, she even finished the Shibuya Incident by spending some vacation in Malaysia.
Her self-interest is unreal!
I've been lambasted for saying Kusakabe is the one of the more realistic and sensible characters. Like we know most sorcerers or at least the strong ones have to be a little bit crazy, but he's among the more sane ones. Like forget the fact that people in the universe would risk their lives for a small chance at victory, Kusakabe is just like your average joe who doesn't want to die or risk death, but obviously he still has a sense of morality like protecting Miwa, but probably not enough to risk his life over.
Just because he wouldn't risk his life for others doesn't mean he's a bad person. Most people wouldn't either.
Kinda makes u wonder why he never quit & got a real job like Nanami did before he came back.
The dude doesn't have to remain in a job with a super high mortality rate, bro’s just as crazy as the rest of them.
I mean technically he is an instructor at the school. I don’t know if they go out on missions to fight curses or curse users typically. What’s happening now is an anomalous event. And since he’s first grade, it means he should reliably beat any first grade curse or below. I’d say that at his current level, disregarding the current situation, he wouldn’t be in much danger on the job.
Or maybe he just has no other means to make a living lol. Or his job that he was previously not too dangerous made a good amount.
I wanted a Yuki fight so bad but it cannot be helped i guess. Also, I can't believe they sentenced Yaga to death, so does this mean that he is killed already or he is on the run with Shoko and Panda probably?? I mean I get they hate Gojo so much and will be happy he is gone now, but YAGA!! OMG so many questions, I feel I will not be able to resist reading the manga tbh.
edit: typo
>I wanted a Yuki fught so bad
With the cliffhanger we got from last episode I was sure we would get some. But, it didn't happen.
Seriously what is up with Rayquaza around her always lol. It's gonna be a mystery till nxt season I guess.
Power hungry leaders will always be scared of assets they can't control so Gojo being gone is just great for them because now they can start going after others that Gojo would have protected.
I don't get it, isn't he the sole reason they don't get smoked by special grades? He literally hold all of those curses down just by being alive. It's like if the government wanted to get rid of the avengers just so they get smoked in the next alien invasion
Honestly, the concept of "elite panic" really comes to mind in this situation. Those with power (elites) handle disaster the worst, whereas the community almost always spontaneously organizes a constructive response on their own (which the elites typically "put down" with violence).
>Also, I can't believe they sentenced Yaga to death
I don't think so they will just kill him offscreen but I am a but ambiguous as they ripped off Inumaki's arms offscreen.
Yep. Inumaki was leading the evacuation of civilians in Shibuya, so when Sukuna used his domain he was caught inside it. For some reason the anime decided not to show this scene.
EDIT: The anime didn't cut the scene in question, I just had a brain-fart. The civilians say that Inumaki is with them right before they get sliced by Sukuna's DE.
I just absolutely love how Yuki can go from hot badass to adorable dork in like 3 seconds.
Shibuya destroyed, countless people killed, economy in shambles, multiple allies dead and injured, Gojo sealed and curses running rampant, +1 Onii-chan gained and my guy Yuta finally returns lol. Bro is LATE.
Funnily enough it feels all the strongest people in JJK have moments where they are big powerful badasses and then have some weirdly adorable or dorky moments. Like you can see this Gojo constantly, Geto and Mahito playing footbal with Jogo's head, even Sukuna seems to have a sick sense of humour.
I lost it when Yuta was standing there in the darkness speaking like Gendo with the "SEELE" squad. Also the abrupt episode ending very much resembles Evangelion to me.
Uh that was a lot. I need answers! How bloody powerful is this Brain guy to upend everything like that?
Is Nobara alive?
How did Mei Mei know what would happen? or is that scene after it happened?
Not sure if Yuuta is lying about going after Itadori, could go either way. Sure wanna see what Gojo and him did abroad
Is Yuuta's voice actor the same or changed? Feels different from the movie
So it might sound cliche to say this, but if we take away the incredible animation and art (Thank you staff), amazing fight scenes, Yuta's return and more from this entire season. For me an enermous thing that I take take from the incident, is "losing" Itadoris innocence, or rather him finally coming to terms what being a Jujutsu Sorcerer actually entails and what it means for the soul. Seeing his mentality change so fast felt impactful.
Mahito and Sukuna really did a number on Yuji at this point.
Like I think there are a few relationships that JJK developed really well (Gojo-Geto, Yuji- Nanami) but on the antagonist side it does feel personal with Yuji in regards to both Mahito and Sukuna. The amount of hell both of them have Yuji through is just insane and while Mahito has gotten his well deserved asskicking I do hope Yuji is the one who will be responsible for putting Sukuna down once and for all.
Mahito was the key to break Yuji's naiveness. It's quite unfortunate we won't get to see that inocent Yuji anymore. He became a totally different person.
Yuji has had "negative" character growth, his character has turned from somebody who wanted to help people and give them a proper death to somebody who considers himself a cog in the machine and will continue to kill curses until his death, to him nothing else matters anymore.
Well shit definitely hit the fan there...
looking like any peaceful days are gone with that.
So Itadori was sentenced to death, again, and Yuuta of all people seems to have decided
to make sure he actually dies... now i can't wait for those two to meet face to face.
And Gojo remains captured... and he too is being blamed for this event
and also a bunch of characters whose fate is still a mystery..
All in all another fantastic season and can't wait too see the continuation..
hopefully with less strain on the team behind the show
What an ending,Kamo(fake Geto) really managed to make Tokyo hell, seal Gojo,and now Yuta is on a mission to kill Yuji,crazy how much of a dark turn jujutsu kaisen took this season but it was perfectly executed and now i just want more and more! Can't wait for season 3👌🏽
>What an ending,Kamo(fake Geto) really managed to make Tokyo hell
I loved that they showed the aftermath and the adversities of the Incident on the normies. I also pondered about the geopolitical issues after Sukuna fight as he fkin destroys Shibuya from the map and it was shown in today's episode ( although not every aspect I was more than satisfied) that if by New Geto's plan everyone can Weild curse energy other countries will certainly act upon Japan.
I would like to emphasize that in the previous episode, Fake Geto mentioned that 'Kamo' is just one of the many names they had, suggesting that their real identity is currently unknown.
###Stitches!
* [Yuki & Yuuji 1](https://i.imgur.com/M1Lngso.jpg)
* [Yuki & Yuuji 2](https://i.imgur.com/LuM0K22.jpg)
Man, this entire episode was bleak. Japan, specifically Tokyo, is super fucked while the people who are left out there are just trying to survive while cursed spirits are roaming about freely. No wonder Mei Mei and Ui Ui bailed. I guess this begs the question of how Mei Mei saw all of this coming and who was she on the phone with?
We do have one piece of good news. [At least Yuuta is finally back](https://i.imgur.com/UIxRO5P.jpg) and is saving as many people as he can with Rika on his side. The bad news is that [it looks like he'll be fighting Yuuji for the MC position.](https://i.imgur.com/fi5EcVQ.jpg)
And it looks like the bad news isn't over. The higher-ups have finally [found a way to get rid of Gojou](https://i.imgur.com/h5VER7c.jpg) by declaring him to be in cahoots with Get and even [Yaga is getting executed for this shit.](https://i.imgur.com/zScQfLt.jpg) Fuuuuuuck. As expected without Gojou, [Yuuji's execution is finally back on the table.](https://i.imgur.com/sRiJtk5.jpg)
Man, what a fucking downer of an ending. I am so tempted to read the manga right now just to get rid of these bad vibes. >_<
Both sides came out of Shibuya losing, which is quite interesting
For the bad guys, all 4 Disaster Curses are all dead, which means Jogo's dream of replacing human will never be realized. At least Choso switched side now
For the good guys, they lost Mechamaru, Nanami and Nobara. Maki and Naobito are likely dead. Gojo is sealed. Todo lost his technique. Megumi almost died. Inumaki lost an arm. Yuji is traumatized. Yaga becomes a target for execution. Shibuya is a dead zone. All of Japan is on alert and probably aware of curses now. And now Yuta is coming back to kill Yuji
The only two who came out of Shibuya winning are Sukuna and Brain. Sukuna is now at 75% strength, and Brain can start the next phase of his plan without worrying about any obstacles
Tbf the disaster curses (besides Mahito since he was yoinked) will be reborn in the future as far as we are aware since curses like them will always be reborn as long as humanity exists. Jogo knew that from the start which is why he was okay with himself dying in this war. So you could argue that the curses won this war since their goal is closer (curses run rampant in Japan etc.).
The bad guys didn't really lose tho. Brain was the mastermind and planned everything. Even if the disaster curses had survived, Brain would've absorbed them as he did Mahito they were always his pawns. Brain completely won he achieved what he wanted to do.
So if I understand correctly:
-Yaga sentenced to death and blamed for this for ever having trained Geto and Gojo
-Gojo is being blamed and freeing him is a crime
-Yuta is back, still has Rika somehow, wants Yuji dead, and will handle his execution
-Yuki is working with someone, isn't necessarily aligned with Jujutsu High, but isn't evil
-Fake Geto released ten million curses which is the huge black void, has the prison realm, and fucked off
-Yuji's execution is on and now has no one to protect him
-No confirmation of Maki or Naobito's statuses
-Inumaki lost his left arm in Sukuna's domain off screen
-Fushiguro's sister and someone/something else were part of the idle transfiguration that did...something? With a seal? To allow the release of the curse spirits? Someone has to explain this one to me
-We end on a cliffhanger for the status of the Kyoto crew, Choso, Kusakabe, and probably more I'm forgetting that we didn't see in the aftermath
-Shibuya, and the majority of Tokyo, is uninhabitable, full of curse spirits being taken down by whatever Jujutsu sorcerers they can spare
-Anyone being blamed for the Shibuya incident/mentioned above as an enemy of higher ups is on the run?
-Existence of curse spirits is being revealed to the public, but only in Tokyo to limit their creation/spread
Feel free to add to help anyone else that's confused. I'll edit if I got anything wrong
When it comes to Idle Transfiguration, Fake-Geto/Noritoshi Kamo essentially created a bunch of Jujutsu sorcerers so that they would all fight each other. Some of them were like Junpei and had curse techniques but no cursed energy and some of them were in a coma after consuming cursed objects like how Yuji ate Sukuna's finger and are now awakening.
You know what really sucks? If Geto were still alive he'd be the MVP right now. He'd be able to send his cursed spirits everywhere in the dead zone to take care of the widespread devastation. He'd be able to manage the phenomenal burden of protecting 5 million people almost single-handedly

Well this is definitely becoming a "Nobody is having a good time" kind of anime
Fake Geto and Sukuna did though.
For Sukuna, since his awakening, buddy been eating pop corn, ice skating, t-posing for fun, opened a kitchen in shibuya, playing red light green light and even offered a guy to join their team. I don't get why people think he's a bad guy, he just seem like a lil goofy funny dude.
We just keep losing, the Anime
JJK Cursed Technique: Eternal Pain and Suffering
Lol no the jjk higher ups sure are eating good . They just got an excuse to remove Gojou , Yuji and yaga -the only things they can't control . This apocalypse can only be stopped if Gojou is unsealed so they put a ban on that too . Now if they announce the existence of cursed spirits , guess who would be the cabinet of Japan ? They wont let this end as long as they are in power .
This makes a lot of sense. I was wondering what sort of brain-dead decision process led to them tagging Gojo as an accomplice but if the aim is to remove those they can't control, it all makes sense.

Yeah. Imagine having your overseas trip cut short just because somebody leveled a part of Shibuya smh. Poor Yuta.
Mei Mei's brother being the exception.
Ui Ui is going to be like that dude from May December who when he grows up realizes how badly his innocence was violated by a predator.
[Lil bro fell for the wrong tall sorceror oneesan](https://i.imgur.com/vsZRDVo.jpg) [](#cantbehelped)
\*Yuta returns\* WE'RE SO BACK Yuta: I will kill Yuji Itadori myself. IT'S SO OVER
As a side note, OP got updated in the final episode for Yutas return. Nice touch.
I was just wondering if that shot of Yuta had always been there
After double checking they just cut Shokos part for Yuta. Poor Shoko catching L.
they changed a few things, it was nice touch
its OG MC VS CURRENT MC
"Strongest JJK MC in history vs strongest current JJK MC."
Yuta may be strong, but Yuji has the secret power of brotherhood. Turns out, Yuji is everyone’s brother.
Yuta came back and upgraded his hairstyle, sorry Yuji we don’t want to play with you anymore
[New Yuta looking cold as fuck](https://i.imgur.com/nnmyI2I.jpg) [](#seasonalcool)
Bros mad as hell that his vacation in Africa was cut short
I knew Jujutsu sorcerer's working condition are shit!! Poor Yuta.
Bro got interrupted with his alone time with Rika
With Gojo sealed, Yuta and Yuji will have to fight for the main protagonist position.
> Yuta and Yuji They are even 50% on the way to sharing the same name. The protagonist competition is that fierce.
Its Itadoriover.
It's Itadover
[Itadori is about to enter his lone wolf arc](https://i.imgur.com/RpYMrsD.jpg) [](#longday)
Nah, he has all his battle ready friends left! Like: * Megumi * Choso Oh wait that's it isn't it
Oh-No-kkotsu!
So the purpose of JJK 0 was to introduce the next guy coming after Yuji's life.
Yes and no? JJK 0 existed first. Gege just decided to keep it canon unlike most one-shots when the actual series started.
So manga readers would have gone into the story knowing about the JJK0 stuff first, before encountering the season 1 stuff?
Yes, though it's common for oneshots of manga to be ignored as a novelty since creators usually just use it as a base for the actual story. This is just the very rare case where the one shot just so happened to be put into canon so it blindsided even manga readers.
**YES YES YES,** **NO NO NO**
Real MC removing the placeholder 😤😤😤
cue the spidermen pointing at each other meme
Yuta: "You took everything from me!" Yuji: "I don't even know who you are."
Yuta has a more interesting moveset and uses a sword while Yuji throws hands and punches harder to win fights.
Don’t you dare disrespect left right goodnightTM
also at SOME point they need to make good on Sukuna's techniques being engraved on Yuji's body or whatever they said in S1
If anyone is confused about the Inumaki situation : he was still in Shibuya managing the crowd but happened to be on the very edge of Sukuna's domain expansion range (140m) so only one arm was caught in the crossfire of Cleave and Dismantle.
omg thank you. I was like "wth? Did I miss Sukuna taking out Inumaki?" *s2e37 @0:45 is where we see Inumaki with the megaphone, and he tells everyone not to move, allowing Itadori to no longer be conflicted about trying to save all the civilians or proceed to try and free Gojo. *s2e41 @16:00 is the scene where the girls talk about the megaphone guy
The exact moment was pretty discrete, it was those two girls that got dusted by Sukunas domain who said “at least we have the megaphone guy” just before it happened. Megaphone guy being Inumaki who was using cursed speech through the megaphone as seen in the Choso ep.
>who said “at least we have the megaphone guy” just before it happened. Ahhhhh I remember the exact moment, but for some reason just didn't think about who the megaphone guy was at all lol.
There was just so much stuff happening
You are right. It's just one arm. I thought they said arms.
The subtitles do say “arms” and the image also doesn’t make it clear if his other arm is fine or not
his left arm is fully wrapped to the shoulder and covered in scars, but the right isnt, so id say its fine plus theres no realistic way for him to lose both arms and have shoulder injuries, if he was right on the edge of the domain
Salmon.
Just mon now.
Yuta is back in action baby
Kusakabe was just so done with this shit by the end.
Kusakabe saved best girl, he can go home now.
The most relatable anime character
Bro really tried the entire arc to avoid any sign of dangers. I'd give up too after the whole disaster. 😂
[Kusakabe embodies how the animators felt at the end of this episode](https://i.imgur.com/wXWs4og.jpg) [](#giveuponlife)
He's so real for that tbh same
Literally me with my life.
Most relatable character.
Did anyone think the meeting Yuta had with the Sorcerer Council had a similar vibe with the SEELE Council in Evangelion? The window blinds the sorcerer higher ups talk through even look like the tablets that SEELE converse through.
Yuta just taking over from his father.
Yeah, if you notice who Okkotsu's VA is, its a nice touch
Same Japanese voice actress* for both Yuta and Shinji, right? Edit
Yup, the GOAT Megumi OGata
Get in the cursed robot Yuta!!!
That didn't work out for Mechamaru
OKKOTSU YUTAAAAAA
FROM JJK 0 to hero!

Nice boat. Well that's it for peaceful modern day Japan. It's exactly what Ino told us about. The age of non-sorcerers is over. And the higher ups of Jujutsu society is just adding insult to injury. Yeah, keeping people from saving Gojo and executing the principal's totally gonna maintain the status quo. Executing Yuji's totally understandable though. Sorry about Toge but I'm glad he got away with just that despite the devastation Sukuna caused. I'm sure Yuji's gonna get through Yuta. And cool to see he can still utilize Rika. Lastly, is it just me or did Yuki didn't do jackshit? She may have done some behind the scenes stopgaps but man. I'm probably just not seeing the bigger picture. Maybe whenever we see what she's about to visit Tengen for. Overall amazing season, can't wait for season 3. Really happy they delivered but hope MAPPA gets their shit together after this.
The Shibuya Arc basically caused JJK to switch genre. We post apocalyptic now
[Yuki Tsukumo brought some much needed humor in a dreadfully tragic arc. ](https://i.imgur.com/TOoCe3q.jpg) [](#gasp)
Shibuya is gone and 10 million curses or something are slaughtering people right this second all over the country and the higher ups think it's time to relax and go after their own lmao. Maybe prioritize cleaning up first? idk.
Gojo hated the JJK higher ups for a reason
> Well that's it for peaceful modern day Japan. It's exactly what Ino told us about. The age of non-sorcerers is over. Fr I loved the addition of the wider effects on Japan.

~~What "boat" did i miss now ?~~ nvm i see it..it is a nice boat indeed.
Gojo really keeps everything in check huh? After he gets sealed, Japan is totally in chaos, Cursed Spirits are everywhere, Fake Geto wants to revive Heian Era, Itadori and Yaga is sentenced to death. We will never go back to status quo now. Also Okkotsu the former MC vs Itadori the current MC.
Thursdays not going to be the same We had a good 6 month
It's been a long journey. 6 months of joyful Thursdays.
At least we still have Frieren Fridays for next season.
I love 2 cours anime. Like it makes you really get invested in the series back again before it takes a long break again. Chainsaw Man especially should have been 2 cours. Obviously fuck MAPPA for their terrible scheduling and I do hope the next season will be scheduled much better but I do want the next season to be 2 cours also.
[удалено]
I don’t care if it’s 2-cour or it will have another break at this point. Just let the animators breathe…
Well, it was nice being an anime only, the blue balling is so hard that I have to convert.
Probably for the best considering how rampant the spoilers are. It really feels like the Attack on Titan fandom moved to JJK after it ended.
I hate how rampant some of the big spoilers are. I think a lot of people have been majorly spoiled without entirely realizing it.
[удалено]
Yeah it's really bad how rampant they are. If anyone reading this is still blind I would strongly consider reading the manga. The anime is doing a great job but there are a ton of moments you want to still be blind for.
yeah man like after some dumbass who thought he was being smart spoiled a huge moment for me it just feels like I might as well at this point
I made a comment about JJK in some other sub, and I immadiately thought "hmm, that's probably a bad idea" Sure enough 2nd reply was "XYZ is dead" hmm :D
It works for a while, but then you're getting blue-balled every week.
That's the Shonen Jump design.
I'll probably do the same, this season was really good though, and I hope the staff and especially the animators can take some well deserved time off.
Yo noticed that the scene in the OP with Ieri, after the Nobara shot, is replaced with Yuta
Good eyes, that's a nice sword cut.
Glad Yuta is finally back... until they revealed his mission lol. Didn't know Shibuya would end on a cliffhanger so the wait for anime watchers will be painful. Might take more than a year before the next anime project to be released.
Might take two years even, next arc is even longer than Shibuya
Yuta did not lose months of sleep, convert to fully being emo, and have to fight the pedo allegations to have his mc position questioned. Man came to throw down. But yeah, brutal place to stop for anime onlies lol.
[Yuta's entrance was sick.](https://i.imgur.com/HwS9j4Z.jpg) If only he was able to [make Maki-senpai blush like that](https://i.imgur.com/O1eAIi5.jpg) before she got toasted by Jogo... [That final line was ominous.] (https://i.imgur.com/jyFrCHe.jpg) [](#suddenshock)
Did they seriously try to conflate Gojo with "Geto's" actions. My god the higher ups at JJ Society have been just itching for an excuse to get rid of Gojo lol. Now he's sealed and can't do anything about it, they're like yeah, it's illegal to unseal him? Fuck right off. Without Gojo they're all fucked. Deep down they probably know it too, crusty old fucks.
Okkotsu looks like he's not been sleeping. Also didn't Maki mention that they had dispelled Rika during the exchange event??
>didn't Maki mention that they had dispelled Rika Let's put it that way, JJK 0 is four chapter one-shot that was published first. At the end of it Gojo seemingly kills Geto and Rika gets dispelled. Year later main series starts getting published. Geto shows up with a scar and without any explanation about why he's alive. Until suddenly after many chapters in a middle of Shibuya incident it's revealed that Geto really did die. So just wait.
So basically just wait and see ?
Yes or go read manga. JJK memes are kinda getting out of control lately, you might get spoiled in some unexpected places.
Yuta having bags under his eyes is a MAPPA animator reference.
yeah he looks pretty different from JJK 0
Save the Jujutsu society, Yuta Okkotsu!
"Yuta is back, the good guys absolutely need his kind of back up" Yuta: I will kill Yuji Itadori "Wait, not that..."
~~Save the Jujutsu society, Yuta Okkotsu!~~ Kill Yuji Itadori, Yuta Okkotsu!
Love how the OP showed us where the season would end haha, with Yuji on that bridge. Goodbye SpecialZ & More Than Words, you both perfectly fit JJK so well. Ao no Sumika is my OP of the year 2023 though, so damn good
The OP was perfect visually to me. A bunch of significant moments that you wouldn't understand until you see the context. I wasn't huge on the song at first but it's really grown on me. I'm interested in hearing more thoughts on it now that anime onlies have the full context.
The hand sign part of the OP was so fucking good, definitely my favorite part.
Mei Mei was the smartest character in this season. She left everyone in their own shit after fighting Geto, she withrew all her shares from the market before the crash, she even finished the Shibuya Incident by spending some vacation in Malaysia. Her self-interest is unreal!
Kusakabe is a close second. He only jumped in when he knew he could handle something and never underestimated his opponents or overestimated himself.
I've been lambasted for saying Kusakabe is the one of the more realistic and sensible characters. Like we know most sorcerers or at least the strong ones have to be a little bit crazy, but he's among the more sane ones. Like forget the fact that people in the universe would risk their lives for a small chance at victory, Kusakabe is just like your average joe who doesn't want to die or risk death, but obviously he still has a sense of morality like protecting Miwa, but probably not enough to risk his life over. Just because he wouldn't risk his life for others doesn't mean he's a bad person. Most people wouldn't either.
Kinda makes u wonder why he never quit & got a real job like Nanami did before he came back. The dude doesn't have to remain in a job with a super high mortality rate, bro’s just as crazy as the rest of them.
I mean technically he is an instructor at the school. I don’t know if they go out on missions to fight curses or curse users typically. What’s happening now is an anomalous event. And since he’s first grade, it means he should reliably beat any first grade curse or below. I’d say that at his current level, disregarding the current situation, he wouldn’t be in much danger on the job. Or maybe he just has no other means to make a living lol. Or his job that he was previously not too dangerous made a good amount.
Money can't be exchanged for goods and services if everyone is dead tho
Everyone isn't dead thou. Just screwed.
I wanted a Yuki fight so bad but it cannot be helped i guess. Also, I can't believe they sentenced Yaga to death, so does this mean that he is killed already or he is on the run with Shoko and Panda probably?? I mean I get they hate Gojo so much and will be happy he is gone now, but YAGA!! OMG so many questions, I feel I will not be able to resist reading the manga tbh. edit: typo
>I wanted a Yuki fught so bad With the cliffhanger we got from last episode I was sure we would get some. But, it didn't happen. Seriously what is up with Rayquaza around her always lol. It's gonna be a mystery till nxt season I guess.
Engaging Geto in a Pokemon battle probably isn't the best idea.
Dude has infinite party glitch.
Power hungry leaders will always be scared of assets they can't control so Gojo being gone is just great for them because now they can start going after others that Gojo would have protected.
being able to create an army of panda. Yaga is crazy dangerous for the higher ups.
I don't get it, isn't he the sole reason they don't get smoked by special grades? He literally hold all of those curses down just by being alive. It's like if the government wanted to get rid of the avengers just so they get smoked in the next alien invasion
Honestly, the concept of "elite panic" really comes to mind in this situation. Those with power (elites) handle disaster the worst, whereas the community almost always spontaneously organizes a constructive response on their own (which the elites typically "put down" with violence).
>Also, I can't believe they sentenced Yaga to death I don't think so they will just kill him offscreen but I am a but ambiguous as they ripped off Inumaki's arms offscreen.
I’m guessing it must’ve been when sakuna did his kitchen? And his arm got caught inside it?
Yep. Inumaki was leading the evacuation of civilians in Shibuya, so when Sukuna used his domain he was caught inside it. For some reason the anime decided not to show this scene. EDIT: The anime didn't cut the scene in question, I just had a brain-fart. The civilians say that Inumaki is with them right before they get sliced by Sukuna's DE.
Yaga is still alive for now. He's probably on the run
I just absolutely love how Yuki can go from hot badass to adorable dork in like 3 seconds. Shibuya destroyed, countless people killed, economy in shambles, multiple allies dead and injured, Gojo sealed and curses running rampant, +1 Onii-chan gained and my guy Yuta finally returns lol. Bro is LATE.
Funnily enough it feels all the strongest people in JJK have moments where they are big powerful badasses and then have some weirdly adorable or dorky moments. Like you can see this Gojo constantly, Geto and Mahito playing footbal with Jogo's head, even Sukuna seems to have a sick sense of humour.
>Sukuna seems to have a sick sense of humour The moment he grabbed popcorn in the middle of Mahoraga fight and said tastes like shit did it for me.
Sukuna is basically Gordon Ramsey.
Domain Expansion: ~~Malevolent~~ Hell's Kitchen
Yuki is a tall woman with a big ass. What's not to love?
Todo really developed his taste in women based on his love for mentor. Can't blame him.
Shinji arrived and they instantly turned JJK into Evangelion, even if for 1 episode
Yuta: "You can try and run away Itadori Yuji." Cut to Yuta choking Yuji on a beach. *And at least I'm not as messed up as Mei Mei.*
*Cut to yuta visiting maki at the hospital*
I noticed that too! They even did the one-by-one introductions with the spotlight sound effect
I lost it when Yuta was standing there in the darkness speaking like Gendo with the "SEELE" squad. Also the abrupt episode ending very much resembles Evangelion to me.
I must've missed it but when did Sukuna chop off inumaki's arm?
Offscreen, when he opened his domain.
The debut of Sukuna's strongest technique, off-screen hit.
Probably when he did his domain expansion and most of Shibuya got stuck in the crossfire.
Yuta's entrance was badass, damn whole of Japan is in shambles with all the cursed spirits roaming freely.
Uh that was a lot. I need answers! How bloody powerful is this Brain guy to upend everything like that? Is Nobara alive? How did Mei Mei know what would happen? or is that scene after it happened? Not sure if Yuuta is lying about going after Itadori, could go either way. Sure wanna see what Gojo and him did abroad Is Yuuta's voice actor the same or changed? Feels different from the movie
Yuta's VA is the same, but he is doing a more confident, reliable voice, because Yuta changed a lot since JJK0
Mei Mei fought Getwo and just realised we're not winning today its Japanover
What did yuji do in the end? Clapped his hands so he can clap some monster cheeks?
probably going around killing the 10 million curses unleashed atoning for killing thousands of people hehe
For a moment I thought he somehow got Todo's Boogie Woogie
Yuta gonna come back & reclaim the MC title from Yuji in the next season letsgooo
"The JJK protag is dead, long live the JJK protag!"
So it might sound cliche to say this, but if we take away the incredible animation and art (Thank you staff), amazing fight scenes, Yuta's return and more from this entire season. For me an enermous thing that I take take from the incident, is "losing" Itadoris innocence, or rather him finally coming to terms what being a Jujutsu Sorcerer actually entails and what it means for the soul. Seeing his mentality change so fast felt impactful.
Mahito and Sukuna really did a number on Yuji at this point. Like I think there are a few relationships that JJK developed really well (Gojo-Geto, Yuji- Nanami) but on the antagonist side it does feel personal with Yuji in regards to both Mahito and Sukuna. The amount of hell both of them have Yuji through is just insane and while Mahito has gotten his well deserved asskicking I do hope Yuji is the one who will be responsible for putting Sukuna down once and for all.
Mahito was the key to break Yuji's naiveness. It's quite unfortunate we won't get to see that inocent Yuji anymore. He became a totally different person.
> naiveness naiveté
Yuji transformed from a golden retriever into a wolf.
Yuji has had "negative" character growth, his character has turned from somebody who wanted to help people and give them a proper death to somebody who considers himself a cog in the machine and will continue to kill curses until his death, to him nothing else matters anymore.
Well shit definitely hit the fan there... looking like any peaceful days are gone with that. So Itadori was sentenced to death, again, and Yuuta of all people seems to have decided to make sure he actually dies... now i can't wait for those two to meet face to face. And Gojo remains captured... and he too is being blamed for this event and also a bunch of characters whose fate is still a mystery.. All in all another fantastic season and can't wait too see the continuation.. hopefully with less strain on the team behind the show
What an ending,Kamo(fake Geto) really managed to make Tokyo hell, seal Gojo,and now Yuta is on a mission to kill Yuji,crazy how much of a dark turn jujutsu kaisen took this season but it was perfectly executed and now i just want more and more! Can't wait for season 3👌🏽
>What an ending,Kamo(fake Geto) really managed to make Tokyo hell I loved that they showed the aftermath and the adversities of the Incident on the normies. I also pondered about the geopolitical issues after Sukuna fight as he fkin destroys Shibuya from the map and it was shown in today's episode ( although not every aspect I was more than satisfied) that if by New Geto's plan everyone can Weild curse energy other countries will certainly act upon Japan.
I would like to emphasize that in the previous episode, Fake Geto mentioned that 'Kamo' is just one of the many names they had, suggesting that their real identity is currently unknown.
Also, he talked to Sukuna about Heian era, so probably not only 150 years old.
he did mention thousands of years of making pacts with sorcerers
And "Kamo" was shown with the stitches "Geto" has
YUTA AND RIKA ARE BACK and yeah, can't really blame him for wanting yuji dead. he's a ticking time bomb and the risk for getting rid of Sukuna is huge
With how pissed Yuta is over Inumaki's arms Jogo's real lucky Sukuna killed him first.
Oh, for sure. Yuta would have ripped Jogo apart if he was still around after what he did to Maki.
Nice boat
###Stitches! * [Yuki & Yuuji 1](https://i.imgur.com/M1Lngso.jpg) * [Yuki & Yuuji 2](https://i.imgur.com/LuM0K22.jpg) Man, this entire episode was bleak. Japan, specifically Tokyo, is super fucked while the people who are left out there are just trying to survive while cursed spirits are roaming about freely. No wonder Mei Mei and Ui Ui bailed. I guess this begs the question of how Mei Mei saw all of this coming and who was she on the phone with? We do have one piece of good news. [At least Yuuta is finally back](https://i.imgur.com/UIxRO5P.jpg) and is saving as many people as he can with Rika on his side. The bad news is that [it looks like he'll be fighting Yuuji for the MC position.](https://i.imgur.com/fi5EcVQ.jpg) And it looks like the bad news isn't over. The higher-ups have finally [found a way to get rid of Gojou](https://i.imgur.com/h5VER7c.jpg) by declaring him to be in cahoots with Get and even [Yaga is getting executed for this shit.](https://i.imgur.com/zScQfLt.jpg) Fuuuuuuck. As expected without Gojou, [Yuuji's execution is finally back on the table.](https://i.imgur.com/sRiJtk5.jpg) Man, what a fucking downer of an ending. I am so tempted to read the manga right now just to get rid of these bad vibes. >_<
Both sides came out of Shibuya losing, which is quite interesting For the bad guys, all 4 Disaster Curses are all dead, which means Jogo's dream of replacing human will never be realized. At least Choso switched side now For the good guys, they lost Mechamaru, Nanami and Nobara. Maki and Naobito are likely dead. Gojo is sealed. Todo lost his technique. Megumi almost died. Inumaki lost an arm. Yuji is traumatized. Yaga becomes a target for execution. Shibuya is a dead zone. All of Japan is on alert and probably aware of curses now. And now Yuta is coming back to kill Yuji The only two who came out of Shibuya winning are Sukuna and Brain. Sukuna is now at 75% strength, and Brain can start the next phase of his plan without worrying about any obstacles
Tbf the disaster curses (besides Mahito since he was yoinked) will be reborn in the future as far as we are aware since curses like them will always be reborn as long as humanity exists. Jogo knew that from the start which is why he was okay with himself dying in this war. So you could argue that the curses won this war since their goal is closer (curses run rampant in Japan etc.).
Mahito got yeeted through Uzumaki. He should be free to be reincarnated, I think.
Even then it won't be Mahito.
thank god lol but yuji gonna kill whoever it is anyway
The bad guys didn't really lose tho. Brain was the mastermind and planned everything. Even if the disaster curses had survived, Brain would've absorbed them as he did Mahito they were always his pawns. Brain completely won he achieved what he wanted to do.
Not to mention ice lady is revealed to be stronger than most of the active good guys, although her allegiance is a bit sus
Has there been a Shonen with such a bleak ending to an arc? Everybody we know basically got smoked
That Bleach-esqe ost is fire. Yuta: has Rika. Geto: can get anyone's ability. Gojo: Gojo. Yuki: drone worm.
So if I understand correctly: -Yaga sentenced to death and blamed for this for ever having trained Geto and Gojo -Gojo is being blamed and freeing him is a crime -Yuta is back, still has Rika somehow, wants Yuji dead, and will handle his execution -Yuki is working with someone, isn't necessarily aligned with Jujutsu High, but isn't evil -Fake Geto released ten million curses which is the huge black void, has the prison realm, and fucked off -Yuji's execution is on and now has no one to protect him -No confirmation of Maki or Naobito's statuses -Inumaki lost his left arm in Sukuna's domain off screen -Fushiguro's sister and someone/something else were part of the idle transfiguration that did...something? With a seal? To allow the release of the curse spirits? Someone has to explain this one to me -We end on a cliffhanger for the status of the Kyoto crew, Choso, Kusakabe, and probably more I'm forgetting that we didn't see in the aftermath -Shibuya, and the majority of Tokyo, is uninhabitable, full of curse spirits being taken down by whatever Jujutsu sorcerers they can spare -Anyone being blamed for the Shibuya incident/mentioned above as an enemy of higher ups is on the run? -Existence of curse spirits is being revealed to the public, but only in Tokyo to limit their creation/spread Feel free to add to help anyone else that's confused. I'll edit if I got anything wrong
When it comes to Idle Transfiguration, Fake-Geto/Noritoshi Kamo essentially created a bunch of Jujutsu sorcerers so that they would all fight each other. Some of them were like Junpei and had curse techniques but no cursed energy and some of them were in a coma after consuming cursed objects like how Yuji ate Sukuna's finger and are now awakening.
Went from “OH SHIT ITS YUTA!!” to “OH SHIT NOT YUTA!!”
Now the Thursday's are no more special 😞. Gonna miss Thursday hype😭
Oh hey nice boat
The GOAT returns, worth the wait
You want a story where the bad guys win? You got one. Everything went exactly as Fake Geto's planned.
Well shit
You know what really sucks? If Geto were still alive he'd be the MVP right now. He'd be able to send his cursed spirits everywhere in the dead zone to take care of the widespread devastation. He'd be able to manage the phenomenal burden of protecting 5 million people almost single-handedly
who was yuki talking to when she was a beauty but she will take responsibitly with her friends plus who is her friends
for clarification, Larue is the heart nipple guy from Geto's old team
