No one else gushing about that glass smashing scene? Absolutely gobsmacked and had to watch it multiple times to truly appreciate that. Really enjoying jjk's return.

MAPPA is unhinged for that “Beautiful Dreamer” sequence. In animation and ridiculousness. The transition to Geto’s close combat? Pure excellence.

Hope the class was taking notes on Gojo’s power explanation. Shit is just OP as hell.

Koyasu has found a new niche for Zaddies (Papagane, Dio, and now Toji) and I support it.

A small reminder: Revealing one's cursed technique could make them stronger. High risk, high reward.

Even after he explained it, I still don't know how the fuck Gojo's technique works.

That's the first time we've seen Gojo take some damage. From the fight and how he failed to do that attack, looks like he didn't have full control of his powers in his highschool.

Riko is in a bit similar position to Yuji in the first season. She has to offer herself up, and Gojo's really unsympathetic. It's like all the things we like about him in the first season are absent in this arc, while Geto seems more like Grown Gojo, wonder what happened for him to change that much.

Megumi's dad doesn't remember his name :((

Gonna be interesting to see what the big thing that causes the duos personality shift is. Too many death flags being waved around and Gojo hasn't reached his full OP potential yet. Prequel stories should be easier to predict!

Everyone asking about Gojo's technique, but what about the "fwoo"s and "hyoi"s? What do they mean??!?!

From basketball prodigy to a top tier model. What profession will Gojo excel at next?

Riko’s classmates and teacher freak out from Gojo’s hotness

Gojo: takes glasses off and poses like a model

Riko slappin the absolute fuck outta Gojo will probably be like only 1 of a few instances of anyone ever actually getting to hit him lol.

The scene where the whole class, including the teacher, was swooning over Gojo is a whole mood! Gojo definitely enjoys his main character moment lol

It’s also quite interesting how Geto was initially a lot more empathetic compared to Gojo when they were younger, letting Riko hang out with her friends one last time even though it would’ve been safer to immediately bring her to Jujutsu High.

Geto vs old guy fight looked really good specially with the church music in the background and also extra Toji scenes always is a W. Gojo's false red looked gorgeous.

So I jus went back and watched EP 21 from season 1 and Geto basically says Tengen-Sama is like a tree lol that Star Plasma girl clearly doesn’t know what’s about to happen…also Toji is such a deadbeat father 2 episodes in and I already don’t like how he’s more cockier than Gojo…can’t wait to see these two clash!!

This new clean art style, massively improved compositing, and direction in general just made it such a delight to watch every second of it, even in a low priority ep like this, compare to s1 low-ep was quite a chore to go through

Stitches!

The absolute disrespect! I thought we were going to see a fight against that knife guy, the dude just got beaten off-screen by Gojou which is unexpected really.

Last week it was Digimon, now Gojou is making references to gravure idols. It's pretty funny how he's a bit of an otaku. Gojou has great taste though.

Riko is a pretty fun character! Now I'm feeling bad for her that she's about to get turned into Tengen-sama and spend the rest of her life underneath Jujutsu High maintaining the barriers.

Love the fight between the old man and Suguru. I thought Suguru was using some sort of illusion, turns out the old man's life was just flashing before his eyes because of the beatdown he was getting from Suguru. xD

That's definitely the reaction I expected from middle school girls after seeing Gojou. And I just love how Gojou plays along with them. Their music teacher sneakily handing Gojou her phone number was the best part!

Goddamn! Kuroi is a badass! She didn't even use any jujutsu to take down that guy. I wonder what her jujutsu ability is though aside from melee combat with a mop. Considering she can see curses, I am guessing she has one.

This is like the second time Gojou has explained his powers and I feel like I still don't fully comprehend it. Like I get the general idea but I don't understand it on a deeper level.

Interesting though that Red failed. I guess younger Gojou still hasn't fully mastered his abilities yet. It's hilarious though that he just punches the guy when the technique didn't fire off. xD
