This series was pretty adamant about establishing every new character as a big thing back when all these guys were getting introduced.. we can again see the glimpses towards the end as well. Though that's a different thing as I mean, the way this series is pretty much adding stuff and making things explode left right and centre even during the most basic fights, tells just how far we’ve come.. I mean, it’s a great thing after all. Maybe the fact that Kirara’s technique wasn’t also your average stuff made that entire bit with her, Megumi and Panda even more cool.

Itadori took those blows a bit too manly in all honesty, it should only make sense for Hakari to cooperate after that lmao. Even dude understood his punches ain’t doing jackshit or will do to Itadori. Still hey, this arc is just getting started. Much more to come, but yeah, the way they've been adapting everything so far, gives a bit of hope that they'd help tie up those loose ends which manga left and moved on as is.

Megumi executing the mission in the shadows was so cool. And, funny Panda senpai as usual. But, oh boy... another one of those episodes where paying attention will help a lot. LOL. But I don't trust this show's viewers to do that. Kirara's technique was really cool to me in the manga, and it was explained in such a great way in the anime as well. I loved this very unusual fight, which involved lots of flying, a car, and our party. LOL. Megumi really is a very smart guy.

Itadori was getting his ass handed to him by Hakari, but his resolve was unshakable. That 'Cog' mentality. Truly commendable. That's my MC. Kogane is here, and it's about to start. The Culling game.

Hajime Kashimo is here!!! The waffled one. His voice is so good. Love him. One of the best episodes yet. I loved this one a lot. So well directed by the one and only Seimei Kidokoro and SB'd by Gosso as usual.

The fight against Kirara was definitely an unusual one but like most fights in this series it was greatly adapted. Gotta give my respect to Yuji for tanking those punches.

Time to officially jump into the Culling Games next episode. Kashimo is here, and his voice sounds great.
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait.

Take me back to the days before MAL became infested with Twitter's favorite buzzwords.

I love watching Megumi fight because he has an analytical mind and is generally so intelligent. If Yuji were fighting Kirara, the fight would last forever lol. Hakari is a softie at heart. Kashimo looks great and his voice is perfect.
also a plus for Mappa for adding that short scene with Tsumiki and Megumi when they look at the stars

Yeah I don't like the megumi fight. Maybe it is just me tho.

Yuji tanking the hits and hakari/zoro is still here to stay and steal the show.

For more context why I dislike the fight: Way too much yapping. It is not analytical but more trying to act complex again. This is the problem with JJK fights from now on, they act smart (as in yap too much when explaining a simple attack or rule) for no reason, when it is simple. Like I would rather watch or read hxh if I want actual indepth analysis in fights.

I will not talk about kashimo because of obvious reasons tho.

Look at Panda he just witness his father murder but he's already back to his joking nature, so inspirational.

Beautiful fight, Megumi silenced all the slanders (until next time).

The strongest is here, yeah that's the go, the culling game is here.

Kirara's stylish. Itadori has come far, maybe not as far as Thorfin but this scene does somewhat remind you of him. Kimura Ryohei doing great voicing Kashimo btw.

Yuji sure likes to be the punching bag of other characters whenever they get introduced. Also, I like Kimura's voice acting but his voice doesn't suit Kashimo.

Another very good episode. Seriously brain frying though trying to understand Kirara's technique. It's a very cool one, but also confusing. Who is this other guy? More and more people getting introduced. I love every single new person that's been added to this season!

Megumi is shredded af. And Panda spreading his legs like that was kinda wildwould tho

Gotta say the the explanations for the cursed techniqes feel a lot easier to understand in the anime. But if I was in Megumi's shoes I would've been cooked trying to figure that out on my own.

Itadori pulled a Thorfinn on Hakari by taking these hits, lmao.

And here is Kashimo. Getting the VA who also voice Kise and Bokuto is a surprisingly great fit.

Kirara is too cute and kind I don't care she has/had a dick🫡
Peak waifu material, gambler dude right choices in life.

Honestly the mental gymnastics was kinda confusing me but they explained it well. Weirdest power. I still dk why this fandom hates Megumi without him all the grit of Yuji would have been for nothing.

I really liked this couple can't wait too see horrible things happen to them...

New dude has douchebag aura. The main fighting starts from next episode then.

Kirara literally only lost cuz megumi got some star knowledge from Tsumiki. I wonder how long it would've taken Subaru from re:zero to figure it out? Kirara's CT is so specific you literally need to have a smart guy with star knowledge to solve.

Seeing the reaction to ep 3 I wonder how most people will feel about this ep? ngl I think they like with ep 3 made it way more understandable but still half of the people probably won't get it I bet.

Then we got Yuji the cog in the machine. He's literally just taking Hakari's punches. Also first mention of CE trait? Hakari's is like rough so it especially hurts when he hits you compared to a normal punch from someone else and STILL Yuji is taking those punches unguarded like a champ. Yuji's acting like he's Thorfinn.

Also love how hard it is to get someone to believe Gojo got sealed lol.

We also got our first rule added already. Seems a player has already gotten 100 points at least so at least 20 sorcerer kills if they only fought sorcerer. Our first look at Kashimo, finally. From his words seems he's from 400 years ago but he's looking for Sukuna.
