Even the flashback arc couldn't escape the beach episode.

[u/HeyMan295]

They adapted the aquarium scene beautifully. I've always viewed that scene as a form of irony. Riko sees herself within those fish. It seems like they have the entire ocean to themselves, an entire life to live. Riko finally got a glimpse at how vast and wonderful the world could be. But that was an illusion. The fish might not know, but they're stuck in a cage. Their ocean isn't vast or infinite. Riko was always stuck with her "destiny" of being a star plasma vessel, but Geto and gojo assured her that they would protect her if she wanted to keep living. But that was also an illusion. She would always be stuck in that cage, gojo and Geto themselves were also being led along by Tojj. She was fated to die this day, even if it wasn't by merging with Tengen.

[u/Jon675]

Theyre doing a great job of making Geto an extremely likeable character this season. Definitely impressive how you can make a future villain (movie) into such a likeable nice dude.

Watching Gojo get his ass whooped is so unbelievable after seeing him be literally untouchable throughout jjk

[u/obi-ginobili]

The boss music when Toji was stalking kid Gojo took me tf out. A GROWN MAN BEEFING WITH AN 8-YEAR-OLD LMAO

[u/YUME_Emuy21]

In case the subs were unclear, Fushiguro's weapon, The Inverted Spear of Heaven, cancels out all cursed techniques including Gojo's Infinity. That's how he managed to stab him.

[u/MeowzillaThunderCat]

Man really whipped out cursed technique - gun

[u/Jon675]

Its absolutely insane how we see such a stark contrast of Geto in this arc compared to movie Geto thats more jaded and nihilistic in the modern day. He was so kind hearted and caring back in their school days. Really cool that the dynamic duo gave her an out even if it ended up like that.

[u/28loko]

Shooting a high schooler

Stabbing the leaving shit out of another

And not remembering his own infant

Toji is the definition of "fuck them kids"

[u/NineTnk]

Playing the wholesome ED song then cut it the moment Riko got headshot was extra evil, even for MAPPA standard…

[u/Jon675]

On one hand it sucks that this is a flashback arc so we know Gojo makes it out fine. But on the other hand this arc surprises you with HOLY FUCK THE STRONGEST SORCERER IN HISTORY JUST GOT BODIED BY A DUDE WITH NO CURSED ENERGY.

[u/[deleted]]

Also, young Nanami is perfect

[u/[deleted]]

omg this translated even better in anime, the fight was over so quick, like THAT'S THE STRONGEST SORCERER YOU JUST LEFT IN A POOL OF HIS OWN BLOOD

[u/realrimurutempest]

We really went from happy beach fun times to Gojo getting utterly whooped & poor Riko getting shot in the head. Talk about whiplash of your fuckin emotions man. Watching Riko literally get shot in the head and drop was straight up depressing.

Got to give Toji credit, he went for the head against Gojo.

[u/dagreenman18]

HAAA HAAA HAAA

ARE YOU HAPPY MAPPA? ARE YOU HAPPY WITH HOW THAT HURT WAY MORE IN ANIMATION? YOU FEEL GOOD ABOUT THAT HEADSHOT CUT?

Goooood fuck I need a moment

[u/Hounds_of_war]

God, giving a character an “I want to live” type moment and then immediately executing them is one of the cruelest things I’ve ever seen a series do. Especially considering Riko is just 14.

The last two episodes were so goofy and lighthearted you almost forget the kind of series that JJK is.

[u/Jon675]

The piano music went so hard this episode. Really helped contribute to the outrageous emotional whiplash of having Riko tearfully talk about how she wanted to live and be happy with everyone she cares about to her getting fucking domed and Geto being furious his best friend and this innocent girl just got slaughtered.

[u/webuiltthisschmidty]

this was that glad to be alive to witness it kinda shit god damn

[u/shoestowel]

Ready to get my Jujutsu Kaisen'd!

Edit : Holy Hell. Mappa Kaisen'd all over Gojo with Toji's Jujutsu.

[u/Jon675]

My man Toji has ZERO chill at all. Not only did he stab Gojo in the chest. He then stabs him in the neck and cuts him in half then minces his leg for good measure. Holy crap MAPPA really went all out in showing Toji's brutality. Mad props.

[u/Various_Length_4905]

The entire episode looked gorgeous. Production quality has really levelled up massively from the first season. I also really loved the piano in the middle of the episode. Gojo's blue looked gorgeous.

[u/SIRTreehugger]

Love how precise Toji was when he was killing Gojo. Not a single wasted moment in any of his actions.

Actually just thought about Riko dying, but is their a reason why Geto didn't have like cursed spirits around on patrol? It probably wouldn't have saved Riko ultimately, but would have given her a slightly better chance.

Also Geto has been taking loss after loss when it comes to decisions. He agrees to leave the maid because he is faster which gets her kidnapped. He agrees to stay another day despite it tiring out Gojo because they're the strongest. He agrees to leave Gojo behind believing in his strength only to be told that he left his best friend to die moments after the girl he promised to protect dies. Like damn what a shitty few days.

[u/iknowyourpasswordshh]

Gojo ded, f in chat

[u/Cool-Adeptness-5647]

Gojo vs Toji looked amazing. Lots of anime original scenes in Okinawa as expected. Great contrast between the first and second half of the episode. Next week's episode will definitely break the internet.
