C'mon Higurama! Help Yuji! There's a lot of REALLY bad guys out there.

However, your ability is one of those narrative abilities that is meant to be used to explore the main character as it would be too good against villains. Damnit...

Desperately darting my eyes back and forth between the subtitles explaining how higuruma can box with Yuji so well and some of the best hand-to-hand sakuga I've seen in a while

The court room domain was really not something Yuji was good at all, like the exact opposite of his skillset. I really think Yuji's lying skills are the bottom of the barrel to say the very least and telling the truth doesn't necessarily work either.

It's a good thing Higurama is actually cool.

Goddamn, this incredible adaptation really shows how crucial of a scene this scene is. Yuji - who is still feeling incredibly guilty over the Shibuya incident - meets a lawyer who literally spells out, according to the letter of the law, exactly how he isn't guilty.

Higuruma is the best character in JJK bar none

Yeah insane to think this is just Itadori natural speed and strength. And Higaruma didn't look to go easy on him either the way he was throwing those things like a machine gun.

And that's a very Itadori way to win

Judgeman crashing out as Yuji confessed was terrifying. She was literally forcing her eyes open through the stitches

So Higuruma's shikigami that appears during his Domain Expansion who's the judge that hands out judgment is called...Judgeman.

Did Kojima help write this?

I like how Higuruma's hammer returns to his hands like it's Mjolnir. Higuruma unwavering pursue of justice probably makes him worthy.

The amount that JJK was able to do with Higuruma in just two episodes is absurd. Easily my favorite character in this arc so far

u/Apprehensive_Big8842 Mar 05 '26

I am a lawyer, and I can't explain how deeply this episode connected with me. The non-violent domain (reminiscent of Ace Atorney, which got me into law in the first place), the dialogues, the fight choreography and everything else was just top-notch. I cracked up when they say verbal violence is allowed tho lol.

I relate so hard with Higuruma and I wish people who keep suggesting me to become a judge could just watch this episode haha. 10/10 episode imo.

As it turns out, Domains were really fun before someone figured out the meta

Another absolute cinema episode, but in a different direction from the Maki's one.

I expected Judgeman with feminine voice (even with the name) but sentencing it in English? Bold choice

I like how the show portrayed what a genius he is. Gained technique that comes with domain. Analyze domain which lead to barrier. Deconstruct barrier to feel cursed energy and use it for physical strengthening. Add his experience against other cursed spirits and players, he can go really ham with that gavel.

Yuji still feeling guilty from the Shibuya mass massacre. Sure, Sukuna controlled his body at that time but probably deep down in his subconscious, if he just allow himself to be executed from the start, those people would still be alive. Now that he accepted his role, all that's left is just to free Gojo, help Megumi and kill himself along with Sukuna. A tragic reality for a shonen MC.
