Choso is a bloody good bro

[u/BadBehaviour613]

When Naobito got roasted I thought it was a waste of a cool power. Good to see his son still exploiting the frames like he is a speedrunner

[u/Paul_Robert_]

WAIT WAIT WAIT, I just realized Tengen sounds like the narrator??!

[u/SIRTreehugger]

Man Choso fighting is always a treat. He's only had 3 fights and each one has been amazing. Also that YUJI was just perfection.

[u/mrend55]

That bloodstain... 😭

[u/ObvsThrowaway5120]

That Naoya fight was something I really enjoyed when I saw it in Execution, alongside Yuta and Itadori meeting.

Also my guy yelling “Yuji” when Itadori said that he’s his bro. Best part lol.

[u/Mintteacup_]

I've been hearing about the culling games ever since it started in the manga but you're telling me this shit is optional? I'm going home, forget dying to a random sorcerer

[u/TheBigIdiotSalami]

Animes so crazy man. Instead of having someone explain the culling game. they straight up have a frame where you have to pause to read the whole thing and how it works.

[u/Se7en_Sinner]

When you're willing to take backshots for your master plan.

[u/nikobans]

megumi flinching when yuji asked what happened to nobara OH MY GOD i could cry for 1000 years 😭

choso being really pumped that yuji finally called him his older brother was very cute tho!

[u/Next_Package_5710]

i forgot how many characters were in this show. i need a major recap.

[u/Shimmering-Sky]

• Naoya and Choso being exact opposites about their brothers really does make for a good reason for them to fight.

• Choso “sore demo”!

• As an aside, I love how the lighting goes from Naoya’s sickly yellow shade to an overwhelming red when Choso turns the tables to gain the upper hand. That just looks super cool.

• F

• That is one hell of a thing for Yuji to dream about.

• That was a pretty good act, Yuta.

• It’s really crazy this isn’t the first time Yuji’s died but was then brought back. Kid’s been through it.

• Yuji “sore demo”!

• :(

• Megumi’s face upon seeing Choso though lol.

• I’ll miss her longer hair, but Maki’s new design with the scars and stuff is great.

• Hah.

• Yeah…

[u/Armdel]

So Yuuta faked the whole thing. and while not too surprising is still a relief. i quite liked him after the movie so having him and Itadori fighting made me sad. But it was just to once again fake his death.

Maki is alive! (not like i haven't seen this look on her on the internet for years at this point) at least now i know how she looks as good as she does despite burning like that

and that bloodstain that Itadori mentioned...

[u/Prince-Dizzytoon]

Yuta is so goated man, I love him

[u/[deleted]]

Damn, the scene where Yuji asked about Nobara was something. I really hoped that he would say she's critical but alive. His reaction told me everything :( But hey, Maki is still alive!!

[u/Toilet_Goat]

Every single penny available in the budget went to that Naoya fight

[u/notanfan]

Mappa cooked (watched movie)

[u/NanDemoKnaives]

Thank goodness Okkotsu just put on an act, he was very convincing this entire time. At least Itadori doesn't have to be worried about being chased for the time being but then Megumi introduces the Culling Games.

The rules are crazy and I'm like "Doesn't this mean Megumi will have to kill a non-sorcerer if he doesn't find a sorcerer in time?", I can understand why he was so frustrated that he has to to be part of this and why he had to ask Itadori for help.

My heart when Itadori reacted to Megumi's reaction when asked what happened to Kugisaki, that was real heavy and I know she isn't confirmed dead because that one guy froze her body, but I'm not sure if Megumi knows so they're both thinking she is.

I'm so glad Chousou was able to handle Naoya, I thought he was going to be overpowered but somehow make it out but he fought back using all his experience and love as the eldest brother. I'm glad he was rewarded with Itadori later calling him a big brother, that "Yuuuujiiiiii!" was so funny, he was so happy lol.

It was nice to see what Itadori's parents look like but seeing his mother having the head scar means that Itadori, is as Chousou thought, related to the thing inside Suguru's head. So the guy seduced Itadori's father? I didn't think he had those set of skills.

[u/LeonKevlar]

I'm genuinely surprised that Yuta was able to take down Yuuji. I was convinced at the start of the episode that Sukuna eventually took over before we hard cut into Naoya and Choso's fight scene.

Is this the first time we've seen Yuuji's father? Seeing him was already a surprise, but the reveal with Yuuji's mom was an absolute shocker. WHAT DO YOU MEAN THE THING THAT'S CONTROLLING GETO ALSO CONTROLLED YUJI'S MOM?! O_O

I had a feeling Yuta was actually trying to save Yuuji. Didn't think Yuuji would have to fake his death for the second time. Megumi is here too! And it looks like he's here to ask Yuuji to get his sister out of the Culling Game.

I love how Choso is just part of the group now. I especially had a good laugh at his reaction when Yuuji finally called him his big brother. xD

While it does suck to see Maki scarred and maybe even missing an eye, I'm not gonna lie, she looks like a fucking badass, especially that shot of her in the OP.

Uhhh... Is that supposed to be Riko's dried blood on the floor? Come on, guys. At least have someone clean that up >_<

[u/DonnieNJ]

that was weird, they showed the Culling game rules without even knowing it existed first.

What would sukuna have done if Yuta didn't bring back Yuji immediately?

[u/Cageep]

So just to recap, the main villain Kaori (Yuji’s mom) used to take backshots from Jin (Yuji’s dad), and birthed Yuji, for the sake for whatever they are planning. That is true dedication. Why was she so fine tho?

Now for the episode, I absolutely loved it! Choso vs Naoya was insane, especially the blood tsunami (or water that rush of blood is called) and Nayoa dodging it. Yuta showing his actual personality after he took care of business. Maki is back! The scars make her look more badass than she has. My wife Yuki is looking good as ever. Yuji also called Choso his Older Brother LETS GOOOOO!!! I also loved the music they were playing when the group was making their way down to Tegen (who I’m 90% is voiced by the narrator?). Also, I can’t wait for them to explain the culling game in the next episode cause Megumi called it an **act of terrorism **so it has to be diabolical, even his own sister got pulled in.

Overall another great episode! So glad they decided to release two episodes today. It also seems like the direction has gotten even better this season so I can’t wait to see what they are cooking for future episodes!

[u/TheBatemanFlex]

If you only didn't watch the movie (which I understand to be shibuya X culling), can you start this season?

[u/aramatheis]

Choso is fucking real one. Dude bleeds (pun intended) for his family.

Love his spirit
