| I knew what was coming and it still hurt like hell. No way they started the ed over Riko's monologue. Adaptation did this scene justice holy shit |
| Holy smokes, I do not think I was ready for all that. I cannot really say I had forgotten how good Jujutsu Kaisen actually is, but I think I must have underestimated it a bit... |
| the moments before tragedy :') my heart stung as she slowly realized that she wants to live, RIP sweet Riko :((( |
 |
| holy fuckign shit. that was an amazing episode. I was gonna be disappointed until the ending when she got shot. loving this show way better with him as the main character. |
 |
| i don't get why they didn't just give her the choice to assimilate or not from the start instead of waiting till the end. that was so cruel of them to play the closing song and then have riko immediately get shot though. obviously i know gojo isn't actually dead considering he's alive in the future, but im worried about what will happen in the next episode. |
My 2023 candies:      |
| this is nuts, the adaptation is far better than I thought it would be |
| I really enjoyed how they accelerated the rescue, allowing us to witness Gojo and Riko's playful interaction, resembling little kids at the beach in Okinawa. It's amusing how they both share a childish nature, which I find pretty hilarious. Unexpectedly, Kento also made an appearance, and that was a delightful surprise. However, it was shocking to witness someone catch Gojo off guard. Toji managed to skewer and overpower him completely. It's astonishing that Gojo survived that encounter, given Toji's reputation as the Sorc Killer. Toji's ability to inflict such damage without relying on cursed energy, relying purely on his physical prowess, is truly remarkable. While I always thought Gojo was a force of nature, Toji appears to be a godlike killing machine. On a different note, Geto seemed like a good person. I appreciate that he offered Riko an escape route. It's heartbreaking to think of what could have been, with Riko living a normal life alongside Kuroi, Gojo, and Geto. Unfortunately, with Gojo's failure, the tragic outcome for Riko was inevitable. Now, I can't wait to witness Geto's wrath unleashed on Toji as they face off. |
 |
| Can't believe it...... even worse than fusing with Tengen. I wish Geto beat Toji's ass off, and hard. |
   |
| Riko’s death was really sad for me! But now I have two questions. 1. How the F**k is Gojo coming back to life? 2. How exactly will Geto turn evil and start calling humans monkeys? Is Geto maybe not as evil as he seems? He seemed pretty evil in JJK 0, but I can’t seem to remember the details enough to be sure. |

BlichoBoy said: The dramatic part of this episode is weird, seeing that we know the future, some things more than others, like: There is even any meaning play like Gojou died there? The barriers are still up in the season 1. So.... But hey, Gojou can keep his technique up for at least 48 hours. And that's in the past. You are not wrong. This strikes me as one the issues with any sort of prequel/flashback: we as an audience know the future. The knowledge we come preloaded with can really sap all the dramatic tension from any narrative, for obvious reasons. So I think it is a real testament to the writing that the story can be so engaging (in my opinion, at least) while basically conceding what many would consider the most important part: the ultimate conclusion to the narrative. |
| really great episode, toji was so 😩😩 can't wait for next week |
| Having read this arc like 5 times, it still hit. Riko was just a kid and it was evil of them to play the ED... MAPPA are supreme trolls |

Oremonogatari said: Right, the first 2 episodes were very competently made and had pretty intriguing build-up, also the Chainsaw Man influence and the fact that that show was very competently directed (for the most part).It was not my intention to be condescending. And yes everything you said is true. When I was watching, I couldn’t help but think that Mappa’s tendency to make scenes “overly cinematic” would have emphasised the feeling that this was meant to be an emotionally charged segment, which would in turn make any disappointments greater. I think your feelings on it being half baked may change as the arc goes on, but who knows. I think I’m surprised that you expect emotional depth from JJK considering the first season is usually critiqued for its absence of such. I am curious to see how you feel about the rest of the season though That's why I had expectations 😛 |

| noooo Gojo (he ain't dead, not a manga reader but I know he ain't dead) |
“Wake Up to Reality! Nothing ever goes as planned in this accursed world. The longer you live the more you will realize that the only things that truly exist in this reality are merely pain, suffering and futility. " My tickets:  |
wekatire said: Oh yeah, honestly it's a 10/10 angle considering how crazy these 3 first episodes were. I'm sooooo hypedpastuch said: this is nuts, the adaptation is far better than I thought it would be Shibuya gonna be insane if this is what they did for this arc which didn't have as much meat. If animation and soundtrack quality stays the same S2 JJK will be an alltimer |
| great episode, it was so good, everything was perfect for me... |
| otakuweek (100k Followers) on insta for News /best recom etc just have a look, you won't regret it... Link below: https://www.instagram.com/otakuweek?igsh=em5kY3Q4NTVtNXlh |
| Talking about yanking people's hearts around 😅 That shit went from hopeful to despair real fast toward the end there |

| Damn, poor Riko. And she had to die after gaining hope for future. Incredibly cruel. At least she died instantly... Or did she die? Gojo "died" in a way worse way with multiple lethal wounds. How can he come back? Some time-travel related stuff will happen maybe? Whatever the case, Toji better die a slow, painful death. Killing Riko was absolutely pointless at this point. |
CrowtheDon said: Waw phenomenal why this episode look better then all 12 Csm episodes combined No need to overshoot. |
| Can someone tell me what is the point of this flashback? |
| If you're a fanboy, please don't waste my time. Watch more movies, please. Perhaps, this is hell. |
