    I'll third the disappointment of Toji being mute now.

    I knew they were dead the moment they existed. They literally looked like fodder.

    That's why I expected the twist to be that he didn't kill them.

    Sekuna doesn't appear to be a Kurama. Don't think they're going to eventually be friends.

    I mean, Jujutsu Kaisen's twist isn't that it subverts shounen tropes. It's that it likes tragedies.

    Episode 40

    ------------------------





    That blonde guy that preys on the weak is so detestable. That said, I play that exact style in Overwatch as Sombra, just sneaking around until someone doesn't have their cooldowns and assassinate xD.

    If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~

    Disappointing that one of our big cool fights just kinda ends with the guy offing himself. Even if the reason made sense.

    I did not think that fight was big or cool or even supposed to happen. It was too imbalanced and plot-armor-y. Megumi should've died like 17 times in that fight.

    I agree in terms of the logic.

    If Toji isolated Megumi from the bunch (before Jogo roasted the rest of them) because he thought Megumi was the strongest, then he shouldn't have been holding back and should have pulverised him with that cool-as-fuck barrage he does while holding the enemy down.

    On the other hand, if he isolated Megumi because he recognised his son, then the fight shouldn't have actually happened.

    I had some trouble following this fight, and some low detail shots were noticable. I'm not sure if this is by choice, or if it's due to the strain the MAPPA animators are going through.

    So Sukuna in Itadori's body can beat Makora. Meanwhile, Makora can beat a Limitless+SixEyes (but not necessarily Gojo).

    Megumi has an interesting suicide attack. So the user can summon a Shikigami as many times as they like, but what's the condition of the "boss fight" ending? If it's death of the Shikigami-or-designated-participants, then you'd always want to fight one with a huge party first to learn its tricks. Once you feel confident, only then should you tackle it alone in order to keep it. For something that adapts like Makora, you'd want to hope that it spawns a new version every time and doesn't learn from your previous attacks.

    Yeah the animation in this episode started to dip a little into Naruto vs. Pain territory.

    Again fights were difficult to follow here. It's like they had key frames drawn but then connected them together with whatever.

    It's now watching them fight for fighting's sake rather than being able to actually read everything. These are nothing like the Gojo fights from earlier this season.

    I didn't expect Nanami to die. He was a pretty cool character.

    The reason for the poorly animated fights is because MAPPA, the studio making this, is imploding due to time crunch. The workers lashed out on social media, and you have to note this is a Japanese studio with workers publicly complaining about their employer. They must have been whipped to hell and back for that to happen.

    Read a summary here.

    Yep. Apparently they took on Chain Saw Man when they weren't supposed to, which ate into the production time of JJK S2, according to a reddit thread somewhere.

    I blame the execs for this. They probably got told by the people in the weeds that there wasn't enough time and people to do these projects back to back and simultaneously but insisted anyway for $$$.

    I didn't mention it last week, but that Sekuna fight started to dip a little into...Naruto vs. Pain territory.

    Hopefully, they touch up the visuals for the bluerays. Lots of shows do that now.

    I just fucking wish they stop abusing their talent. If these extremely capable animators and other staff quit the industry for good, us fans will be eating shit for a long time, possibly for all time.

    Feels like she's gonna survive scarred somehow, but we'll see.
