I wonder if that's a clue to Shoko being some kind of traitor.
Probably is.
If she failed at the task, she would've mentioned it to Satoru.
BTW, why was Satoru "sealed" and not killed?
Peace.
In-universe, I assume because he's too strong to kill, this was the only way to stop him.
Out-of-universe, so the author can bring him back later.
Given how OP Gojo's powers are, I assume the Big Bad would like to take his body if he can.
They don't need him alive to take his body. Geto was dead when he got possessed.
Also, Satoru is just a normal dude if he can't move and his abilities are sealed, so I dunno how they can't kill him at this point.
Peace.
Maybe you can't interact with the sealed target without releasing the seal.
That makes sense. They managed to "seal" him because that was the best they could do. If they tried to attack him, his Limitless would render it ineffective anyway, so they had to use a technique that won't be caught by auto-defense. But in the sealed state, they can't do shit to him since he is, well, sealed lol.
Peace.
Episode 35
----------------
Well that was pretty kick ass.
They didn't even show the Senpai's death scene. It's just "yeah we'll gloss over this, you know he's fucked of Toji's here".
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
I wonder if the guy copying his powers will be as competent with them as the original.
Cause that guy beat Gojo, kinda.
He beat the older version of Gojo, though. He wasn't even half complete when that happened, no reverse curse or domain. Also relied on a sneak attack to deal a critical blow.
Peace.
He'll need his cursed tools to even stand a chance, and it doesn't look like the reincarnation comes with the storage demon.

Episode 36
-------------------
Nanami going ham on that guy was so satisfying to watch. The "wall" technique of his is probably just cursed energy reinforcement and the sword guy's output was just that much weaker.
Too bad I'm 100% sure he survived though since his specifically said that his technique helped him survive that otherwise fatal blow, and Nanami hasn't done anything other than punch him thrice. Originally I thought his skill was in dodging, but it must be more than that. I'd guess at moving his vitals, but it looks like Nanami hit his marks.
edit:
Hmm, I guess he did say that "I died. I would have died without my technique" or something, which if translated correctly would suggest that he brings himself back from actual death. Stocking lives also works.

That musical misdirect was badass.
Finally... a decent fight in jjk. Hope we get some more.
Hmm, I'm not sure what happened at the end there.
Firstly if the blood has a thrombosis risk, it's not really that big of a deal in real life. The explanation sounded like if they tried to use and solidify their blood all round, there's a chance that it'd solidify in the wrong organ and cause a stroke etc - but if that occurred you just need to immediately turn it off and you're fine. The body handles seconds of ischemia just fine. We clot-retrieve hours after the insult with good outcome. If they lose control of the blood once it clots then that's another issue.
But calling a liquid compressible is also physics-bending, so whatever.
On the other hand though, it looked like Sukuna cast a manipulation spell on Choso. Either that, or the way the blood moved was supposed to signify that Itadori was somehow a relative of Choso's.
I also thought Itadori had gotten over his habit of doing weak double-impact punches.

Seemed to me like a 3rd party(possibly the girls), implanted some kind of false memory of Yuji being like a brother to him, which caused him to be too conflicted to finish him off.
Episode 38
-------------------------
Interesting power-boost for Mei Mei with Bird Strike. Though, if you're controlling the bird, is the bird really the one making the pact? And having a bird's unlocked cursed energy being able to best any modern sorcerer sounds a little too OP for a crow.
The frame thing is kind of cool, but if you learn about it as an enemy you can actually go along with it.

"Most birds have a full measure of life. But if you can summon it all up, at one time, in one place, you can accomplish something glorious."
The crab fight really distills why domain battles are so boring, to beat this dead horse one more time. As soon as a domain is 'used', everyone is screwed except for the new butt-pull methods of avoiding the 'guaranteed-hit' (ugh) effect and searching for an escape. Even a super small domain is enough to strip the primary feature of a domain when its 'fighting' for control at 10 feet wide versus an island and beach? Power scaling be whack.
Okay, enough crying, the disease curse was a little better, even in the domain.

I didn't expect a Sukuna resurrection at this stage of the story.
If Toji is just a zombie that can't converse then that'd be a shame. If the old lady's technique can't terminate then it he should just be normal Toji. I get that it should have no soul, but that was the case when he took over the Grandson's souls in the first place, so if he could talk then, he can talk now. Hopefully we see that next week.

Toji is an interesting addition to the mix, and I also hope he's not a mindless kung fu zombie.
I forgot about Sukuna. Him killing the girls was begging to be subverted, though. Too bad. That's some more good chaos to the frey.
Of course Jogo came out of nowhere and roflestomped everyone after their near death fight with a spirit just a bit weaker than him. JJK just couldn't help itself- why is almost no one ever evenly matched or close to it?
