| And let the Culling Game begin. The Colonies have been set up. It's going to be full-on out of chaos from now on. Very few brakes. Already seeing new faces who are participating in the game, and many are quite strong, so no one can be taken lightly. Kenny has been working as usual. His motherly instincts for Yuji can be seen as well. The scene with Sasaki senpai was nice. I'm glad that they are alright, and Kenny cared enough to give them a chance. Panda is so strong-hearted. I feel bad for him. Hakari is so goofy. Love him. Kogane is very adorable. Megumi and Yuji's banter is always nice to see, even tho they don't banter much. LOL. Yuji's fight against Propeller Uncle was cool, but ended so abruptly. LMAO. Fushiguro, on the other hand, had to carefully rely on Remy, but he's the type of guy who thinks before taking a step. And, both of them are being tricked by both of these new players. Can't wait for the upcoming episodes. |
 |
| Hakari's reaction to Megumi being the head of the Zenin clan was the best. Totally forgot about the spawn campers, lol. Higuruma being voiced by Sugita is so awesome. Aside from the amazing visuals, the VA cast this season is something else. Next week there will be a recap, but I'm so hyped for what's to come. |

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| The direction of this episode was really great. From the moment Yuji and Megumi walked into the barrier, there was this constant and unsettling feeling of something ominous to come. |
| Time for our MCs to officially become part of the Culling Game. Even a minor fight like Yuji vs. Helicopter dude had crazy animation, I can’t wait to see how all out they go for future fights that actually matter. Next episode we’ll see Higuruma and I’m glad he’s voiced by Tomokazu Sugita. I remember a tweet from some time ago where he said he would like to play someone in JJK, so I’m happy for him that he got to fulfill that. |
| 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 needed to look who tf is Sasaki, some npc from first episode. Hakari dude is fun need to see more of him. So they girl was lying right? Bitch |
| I don't like Higuruma's voice at all, but he's great as a character, so the episode in two weeks focusing on him will be propably my top. Hakari's change of attitude towards the boys is hilarious. Once you get to know him better, his intimidating aura turns into a bro aura. XD Watching Kenjaku be kind enough to Yuji's old friend is oddly adorable. I know he's still a monster lol The introduction is over, now we start the real culling games |

| there was again at least one moment of thos type of animation where they record real human and draw on this! cool <3 |
   |
| Yuji kicking buddy in the nuts to win is frying me. Direction as usual was great in this episode and I LOVE how they intercut that ending scene with them giving both shinjuku and Ikebukuro as Higurama’s location. Nice cliffhanger |

A dream like adaptation, even when they're going down stairs it's magnificent.
I really love Kenjaku, always in a good mood, a caring parent who takes the time to show appreciation to his son's friends. He even creates a fantastic game so his friends can have fun—what a great guy. Top 3 most kind characters.
The game finally starts, it looks promising.

| @WilliamMinerva20 Yeah, like Who wouldn't want Kenjaku for a mom/dad? Dude is awesome XD |

| @WaterMage Sasaki and the boy who spoke to her later were Yuji's classmates from his previous school. They had an occult research group together. Sasaki is harder to recognize, especially since she doesn't wear glasses. |

| @Jollyne7 Apart from all the bad and cruel things Kenny did, he is a good parent, haha. |

| @Epiroogu If you like rotoscoping animation, I know the new anime film on Netflix, "100 Meters," has some very good scenes featuring it. I plan to watch it because it's supposedly good. The rotoscoping scenes there are mostly sports scenes, |

| @Sernikdomowy Yeah, jokes aside, Kenny is a pretty cool character. If we forget about his horrible experiments, he has a pretty interesting and very humorous personality, but that will only come out later in the story. Dude is...pretty chill |
| Hakari trying to be friendly with Fushiguro was hilarious. Itadori has become a lot rougher, after all he’s been through. Remi was a lot hotter in the manga. |

| @Jollyne7 yeah I figured that out already. Thanks anyway. |
| So either they both don't know squat and just messing with them, or they do know, and just don't wanna say, so they send Itadori and Fushiguro to a place where they die. Either way sucks. |
"Like rowing a boat, we enter the future backwards. All we see are scenes of the past, and no one can control the views of tomorrow" - Wit Studio  |
| Can't believe they were spawn camping. Good thing Itadori beat their asses. Now this is confusing. Obviously we can't really expect the first person they met to cooperate but, they both had the same speech pattern. Same team? The episode preview gave the impression that they're being led on to get jumped |
 |
| So this pretty much marks the start of the actual culling games themselves all the setup has pretty much been done, goofy ahh random characters though frickin helicopter dad over here like really some characters in this anime are so random. Excited for the future episodes, especially the main fight Yuta's involved in |

| @WaterMage I admit I wrote this comment also thinking about other people who don't remember her and wonder who she is XD If someone reads this, they won't have to look for it |
lmao 😂😂😂😂😂😂 |
 |
| This week break will be long... But... We'll finally watch Higuruma in action. Amazing animation btw. It is preferable that they take their time to make this. I absolutely love it. See you soon! |
| @deg @kArtCam We have known there's gonna be a recap episode since this season started. What I think happened is that MAPPA bought TV time slots for 12 weeks, but because they released first 2 episodes at once, they had to come up with a break. I don't think there're production issues with this season: it looks much more polished than Shibuya so far. Even if animators are crunching, it's like...on a usual for the industry level, not on a disaster level like Season 2. |
| Imagine normies saying: "Peaky Blinders is mid and overhyped. Just another typical crime drama show. Breaking Bad is much better.". Or: "Without action choreography no one would've cared about John Wick. Kingsman, on the other hand, is not like other action franchises!". |
| Our cast has finally entered the culling games. I love seeing Yuji fight. I can't wait to see Higuruma too. |
| Man that ending was dang evil. Whatever their dang goal is suppose to be they are going out of their way to lie. Dang man. I guess it is you or them situation. |
| I like where this is going, the culling game seems to get more interesting with this episode. |

Hakari really wanted to be friends with Megumi as soon as he heard Megumi was the zenin head lol. Then though Maki annilated that entire clan next day lol. Wonder if that'll create any beef between them?
Also panda just dropping Yaga dying after they dropped that Gojo got sealed.
Also mention of Higuruma another player with 100 points like Kashimo but we don't get to see him quite yet. Guess we'll have to wait next ep.
Also Megumi the woman beater, is seperated from Yuji both are going different ways goddamn. Also Amai a guy that knows of Yuji ngl I totally forgot that he knew Yuji.
Cool to see Kenjaku lead one of Yuji's occult club friends out of the barriers.
The spawn campers lol, helicopter head and jet? lady couple was funny though they got destoryed by Yuji quickly. Still wtf was Gege thinking when making their CTs lol.

| @Rexnihilo Higuruma is a wonderful character, a worthy replacement for Nanami. It's worth waiting for the next episode. Jet Lady reminds me of Killua's old lady butler from HxH. Her power immediately reminded me of that. |

@Bonelesshuman Week break? DON'T TELL ME THE DEV TEAM IS GOING TO PASS THROUGH HELL AGAIN. Had some faith Mappa could've redeemed themselves after all the bad fame theey gained because of the previous season. Maybe It's just same but now they got the animators careers are threatened as whole if they try to talk idk
| @kArtCam No. This was a planned break, the timeslots were assigned like this from the start. It's not a sudden break, production is going fine, at least as far as we know. |
