I could have never imagined that they would animate it like this. The the fight sequence was amazing with the cartoonish style at the beginning when Maki was fighting the goons. This episode elevated the source material much that I could hardly recognize it anymore.

The only thing that made me slightly disappointed in ep4 is that Maki didn't torture those pieces of shits before killing them, especially her father. I wished he completely realised he lost against the failure he thought about. And about what happened in the beginning of the episode, it wasn't 18+ right??

I wish they did the Toji scene justice because that manga panel is just so raw and cold.
Goated episode otherwise.

They literally went all in on this.Amazing episode .Was not sure how they were gonna animate 4 chapters in a single episode, but they exceeded the expectations .
The Zenin clan got literally sliced up in a row.
This confirms that Toji was the strongest zenin as they were traumatized by Maki's Heavenly restriction and that one saying "The only reason the Zenin clan exists now is because Toji chose to let me live".
Maki were aura farming literally the entire ep.
The scene where Maki was sliding up to the guy in black and white frame and punching him,damn that carried aura.
Satisfactory seeing Maki obliterate The most Misogynist character and toji fanboy in the series.
It was a cinema.

That was stellar, I only have a few personal gripes. The country-esque OST at parts felt somewhat misfitting, I didn’t enjoy the more experimental animation (the falling fists etc) as I prefer more choreographed fights than loud color go boom boom. Only complaint in addition to these is that the Toji walking past kid Naoya needed far more weight. The panel in manga has so much more aura.
uh oh!

Great episode again, everything was great. I never cared about Mai glad she finally become useful, these fights were so good I expecially liked the portion were Ranta and Jinichi teamed up, they really nailed that fight. Naoya was a funny dude, the boy wanted to become like Toji, Maki easily put an end to that dream . 10/10 adaptation so far

She is not Maki anymore. She is the reincarnation of Toji, and if we get on her bad side, we are COOKED. That quadruple rewind of Naoya getting smacked was ABSOLUTELY DIABOLICAL. But well deserved. This was just a straight up rampage. Surprised that some of the houses of the Zen'in Clan even stayed intact. That room filled to the brim with blood was also sick in both a good and bad way. Looks like Maki got the revenge she deserved.

the episode was really the pinnacle of animation... as a long time anime fan I'm really really impressed! I can't think of a single episode of any other anime in the last 10 years with a better animation/music choice/colour palette/ tempo than this one. Maybe I'm forgetting something but still really impressed!
I'm now really looking forward for this jjk season

p.s. I just wish one Punch man will have even half of the animation of jjk

Maki this episode basically



What a badass lady.

Rip Mai, she was a great loving sister and gave her everything for maki. The studio did absoloute justice to that scene from the colors to the meloncholic ost. It just fit perfectly for the bonding and love between the two sisters.

I loved this little detail with the toji imagery. that was just chills.



Maki did absoloute justice to mai with that absoloute massacre she ensued after and Naoya just got obiliterated holy shit.

That fight was Cinema, absoloute fcking cinema. Bone crushing i might say.

Also then giving her mother the treatment she deserves and then the mother delivering that Poetic justice to Naoya with knife in the back was just peak.

"Backstabbing women who cant stand three steps back behind a man" huh naoya? Rest not in peace you 24 Frame per second Bozo. Tojis laughing at you from somewhere.

What an episode, pure justice to the manga. Kudos mappa for cooking this hard.

This was a great episode, overhyped to death though because the animation was not that great as people made it out to be.

However this is the best and last great storytelling part of JJK... And I am very happy that they gave maki justice for it. She deserves it.

Btw ost? that was meh choice. Direction though was great as always. I think they didn't do the toji scene in a good way.

Felt a bit disappointing to be honest. The episode wasn't directed well imo , the movement was good but the way they conveyed the action scenes were just off and the music didn't hit like I thought it should have, could be just me though.

I've been waiting so long for this episode and I can't believe they actually adapted it in a single episode 'cause I was actually expecting 2.
This was so good and they went all out in animation, voice acting and soundtrack. Simply peak.

This whole part felt rushed in the manga, and here its somehow even worse. Only MAPPA can do that.

Animation and OST are 5/5

Mai-san and Maki-san were unloved so Maki-san burnt the whole village a.k.a the clan..

A Phenomenol episode.. The words "Cinema" are perfect representation of the whole episode..

Absolutely love that Toji really was a curse.. not for Zenin but for the whole freaking JJK universe lmao...

Dude is still a menace even 2 decades after his death Rofl
