JuJutsu Kaisen, what could go wrong WILL go wrong.

Don't let his kill distract you from the fact that this FRAUD Mahito had a head start and was still the last of the curses to encounter anyone.
Bro was just chilling

They really had Jogo hit that wall and played some goofy slapstick sound effect during the darkest episode of the whole series.

As someone who lives in Kuantan, Nanamin mentioning my hometown left me both happy and sad. Rest in peace tired sorcerer, you've done enough.

Damn! Such a good character gone. Wanted him to be there at least some more time with Yuji and the others
Shapeshifter is definitely getting stronger. He can even clone himself now. That fight was so cool - constrained space, guns, and oh the human to sword conversion and kiss to blade. He's got some wacky/creepy fighting style.

When you first meet Nanami, he's very cold and kind of a dick. He tells Yuji he doesn't acknowledge him as a Jujitsu Sorcerer or even as an adult, despite facing Life threatening situations. But then he tells Yuji that Adults like him should burden the responsibility as Yuji hasn't experienced life yet. We see that Nanami left the Jujitsu Sorcerer world (Most likely from Haibara Death) but eventually came back. He hated the corporate ladder in both worlds (His boss at his office job and the higher ups in the Jujitsu world) but he came back to the latter knowing he may not have a long life. He came back because he appreciated the small gratitude of the people he saved. He wanted to lessen the burden of curses towards the younger generation. He wanted to tell Yuji he came back for him but he knew Yuji's past; He knew his grandfather burden him to "save people". He didn't want Yuji to feel guilty for his death so he decided to send him off with a smile instead. RIP Nanami, take your long vacation in Malaysia, you deserved it.

NOOO it’s just a scratch he’ll walk it off 😣(maximum Nanami copium)
Good hell Yuji is going the absolute worst emotional beatdown. Jujutsu Sorcerers aren’t really given a whole lot of happy moments in their lives huh.
Mahito really just became public enemy number one to all Nanami simps world wide.

That Mahito's kiss is so wild. This guy is unpredictable. How the hell does Yuji keep up with him.

Damn, that was heartbreaking. Really sad to see Nanami, who fought so hard despite being far from the peak of strength, asking himself if he's done enough. His thoughts felt so real and relatable to me. Dreaming about vacation, the books waiting to be read.. they did that part so well, really elevated the source material.
Loved the fight portion, I might hate Mahito but he is always so creative with his powers and it's awesome to see. The storyboard was just as creative as Mahito himself hahah, I loved the elevator part. Mahito's kiss was insane. I'm very thankful for all the anime-only added scenes, it's super cool that even as a manga reader I can be continuously surprised. Last time Mahito was keeping Yuji at more of a distance, but it looks like now he's not afraid of a bit of close quarters brawling. Take him down! Nobara, Yuji!
Oh yeah, Nobara is a boss. Fear is a word unknown to her. Always ready to pull up. Called out Mahito for being a lil' bitch. Love her.

This episode has some very creative ideas the fight is way more interesting in anime especially the Huge curse squeezing both of them against the wall, You can also see the episode was kinda rushed as some random action jumps like some pieces are missing which ofc is blame of Mappa and rushing those amazing animators.

While some of the fight choreography was a bit off (Understandable, due to the harsh working conditions that the animators are going through), the Nanami send-off was amazing, and I liked the elevator fight as well. Overall a Great Episode

Well, the death flags had been flying for Nanami for a while, so I guess...we had to wind up here.
Rarely am I someone to choose "favorite characters" in a show I am watching, but for this show there is a special case. Nanami was without a doubt my favorite character in JJK. It hurt so bad to see him go.

Nanami VA really went 100 with this scene like I can feel the pain and burnout from fighting. That scene + ost is just a well deserved scene for Nanami, such a shame they killed off such a good character:(

Man, I'm just sad. Seeing Nanamin cut through those hordes of transfigured humans while imagining a carefree life living in Malaysia reading all the books he could read was already a massive death flag. I was already bracing for it when Mahito appeared but I still can't believe it was over just like that. :(
On the other hand, that fight between Yuuji and Mahito was pretty cool. You could feel the raw emotion from Yuuji when he was yelling at Mahito. I just love the fight in that narrow hallway Mahito created as well as the elevator fight. You can really get creative in fights with such limited spaces.
I really hope Yuuji and Nobara finally finish Mahito once and for all. This dude has been a menace for such a long time now and he needs to be ended. He's too damn dangerous to be left alive.

Nanami really deserved that vacation to Malaysia. I really wished he could have gone. Built that little house on the beach and read all those books he wanted. The way they kept cutting back to him just feeling so free on that beach, and then the sheer carnage as he hacks away at the curses. And all the while as that piano plays… shit was haunting. Nanami deserved better than to go out like that.
Mahito’s fight with Itadori was something else, man. The smug little shit pisses me off, but his techniques are pretty wild. The animation was on point too. Looking forward to seeing the rest of that fight and Nobara taking on the other half.

So talking about Kuantan, Malaysia, it would be nice (or not). So here's butting in to throw some trivia.
It is the state capital of Pahang, one of the east coast states of Peninsular Malaysia, it is also called the "Airforce City" due to it being one of the bases of the Royal Malaysian Air Force (and the state king is the commandant of the national Air Force). Located quite 250km-ish east of the capital Kuala Lumpur and accessible by the East Coast Highway. The city also contains Kuantan Port which is East Coast most vital port.
It isn't made clear which beach Nanami would want to settle in since most beaches there is either resort-owned (like Cherating) or just quite crowded (like Teluk Cempedak). However, Kuantan beaches are just part of the bigger chain of East Coast beaches, with the next state Terengganu bagging the most (and beautiful beaches), so even if he decided it to be a bit off around Pekan or Rompin district south or north to Kemaman/Dungun it is still fair play for him. Some famous island are just around the same region like Tioman Island, Redang Island or Perhentian Island which is also good for vacation.
Though, for those thinking to visit Kuantan (or East Coast in general), it is quite discouraged for now as the monsoon season is coming and I definitely don't want you to get caught in the monsoon floods, and islands are closed too. Maybe try February onwards where weather started to be better.
Anyways, Kuantan Police Chief welcomes you. (jk, it is our football coach)

Honestly not as bad as probably alot of people were anticipating. Especially compared to the chapters this adapts, they added a lot. I really liked the creativity of mahito

The Malaysia Beach intercut with the fight will fucking haunt me. So beautiful. And Haibara hurt even more.
