I wanna know how Itadori slid through a helicopter fan moving at rapid speed without getting sliced. Even if he did manage it, that's some insane luck
@kuma-dono somewhere in the first episode of S1, they kinda tell that Itadori is supernaturally strong and agile for his age. Plot armour I guess

The animation feels so raw in this episode the part where they were walking down the stairs felt like that interview scene with Hakari and Itadori.
For some reason Hakari reminds me of Todo in terms of personality and humour, both of them are two strong knuckleheads, although Todo is meant to be smart. Also him leaving out Kirara being the loving boyfriend that he is. I'm assuming their together since they haven't actually said anything if they're not then I guess he likes Kirara.
Interesting that Kenjaku acknowledges Itadori as his son and thanks the girl from Itadori's high school (nice to see her back again), I don’t see a reason why he wouldn’t but still caught me by surprise a bit. I just assumed he wouldn’t have any sort of attachment or acknowledgment. I mean if he’s willing to… you know what then yeah I guess he does have a emotional attachment to his son.
The way Itadori got sniped the moment he entered the arena bro.
Also I'm super curious to see what happens in the next episode and see who's lying the girl leading Megumi or the guy leading Itadori we can't tell.

@kuma-dono Itadori is not a ''normal human'' being. His physical strength is almost as strong as those of Heavenly Pact. He's demonstrated this many times throughout the series, so it shouldn't be surprising.

Goodness gracious. First of all, who the heck is Higuruma? Second, which one of the two lied, Amai or Remi, and why? I’m so confused. Why not just answer truthfully so they can leave and you two can mind your own business? I don’t understand. Do you really want them as bodyguards that badly?

Fushiguro is the man , i just know i'd fold instantly for Remi, lmaoo



pretty cool to see itadori and fushiguro flexing their power.

Hakari got his hopes up only to get realize that Zein clan will no longer be there😭 Damn it Maki. lmaoo


and again, i can't stop hearing zoro man. even his personality is soo like him😭

Nice cliffhanger, they knew there will be a break so they gave us a hard cliffhanger. Btw this episode happened before maki killed the zenin clan?

@ryzxgum Almost every episode you write how boring it is and that you don't care, it's strange that you still watch it XD
@Jollyne7 i've read the entire manga. no shit i'm gonna watch it, especially when it's only 23 minutes out of my week. anyways, i don't even know or care about you, however you may interact with the show is none of my concern. but why are you giving this much focus to what someone else does? gun to my head and i'll have no clue what anyone on this site says every week, it's very concerning that you're so fixated on other people.

@ryzxgum It's easy to remember the distinctive avatar (characteristic for me, as I was wondering which anime and manga character it was) and the same type of comments under each episode. There's no need to do any Sherlock-like research. Ultimately, you do what you want, but it's funny to read that you don't care, but you watch it anyway.

@Jollyne7 it does to a degree when even i don't keep recollection of what i myself wrote the previous week. and like i said in my comment, it has solid animation. so it shouldn't be hard to decipher the fact that i'm saying the show is more than watchable thanks to mappa's efforts. it's the content itself that's not worth caring about. am i impressd by seeing a whole rotoscoped scene? yes. do i care about these characters? heck no. i don't see what's funny about anything here, should be simple enough to understand. besides that, if someone has dedicated enough time to a series, regardless of how shit it becomes, one would still want to see how it turns out. this should not come as any surprise.

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

@Niwaka-Samurai
Theoretically, the Zenin clan exists and is still in the top three clans. So if Hakari wants something, he should quickly get it to Megumi. XD It's too bad they have more pressing issues right now.

so most of the strong sorcerers are past ones that have been reincarnated
the modern ones also have their humanity driven out of them as the situation is kill or be killed
despite how dark this series is, there's always humor mixed in like in this episode
yuji just defeated that helicopter guy by kicking him in the nuts

So is this "the people from the past died but have been resurrected to play in the game" or "they died in their own time but a version of them from when they were alive has been recreated/transported to play in the game" or "they were placed in some sort of curse-related stasis when they made the pacts and now they're being taken out of stasis to play in the game" or something else entirely?

It's alway fun to see this anime use every single cinematic technique to make this arc work. But will it work? Personally I'm at lost, for example, I thought they're already in the culling game area the whole time (since ep1), but this episode shows that Yuji and Megumi just enter the culling area.

Good thing there'll always be the "turn off the brain and just watch" mode I can rely on when things get messy.
@phantomfandom I mean to be fair, they mentioned that multiple times on different episodes. Maybe you just zoned out?

@SaturnVonMoon This season open with Yuta tries to kill Yuji in a city with no civilian, since it'd be impossible for a city to have no civilian, I already assume that both are already in a culling game area.

@phantomfandom Did you watch Shibuya? Curses overran Tokyo. Not trying to be mean but you should probably watch a season 2 recap before continuing it will help since its been a while. I also watched one before entering season 3.

-The City Fight was kinda fun to watch yuji jumping from one building to another.
-Felt a bit similar like that Gojo Vs Riko Killing Goons.
-That Shadow clone guys i always remmeber.
-I Noticed something that even though we know what will happen to Fushogorou But the writing so awesome and good that it felt like that was fate at work.
-Nothing yuji can do to avoid Fushiguoro to become Sukana Vessel.
-Fighting Animation was good.
