Jujutsu Kaisen |Anime OT| Don’t put a curse on me just because I found this finger lickin’ good show!

[Poodlestrike]

I mean there are definitely some martial arts fights in the series.

Spoiler

Especially with the Yuji and Todo team up and the fight between Yuji vs Choso.

Let's just say it's a mix, but farther out there.

Click to shrink...

There are martial artists in it, and they fight with martial arts, but like - it's not about that. I think the HxH comparison is a lot better, right down to setting "rules" that can empower you in some ways while restricting you in others. I think Nobara is sort of the illustrative example. If you have a character whose fighting style is "pound nails in monsters and make them explode," that's not really a martial arts series any more lol.

Spoiler

That Yuji fight in the bathroom is top tier though. Cannot wait until that gets animated. Gonna be jawdropping. Additional shoutout to Megumi's broken-ass dad.

I can definitely agree with that. If Mappa animates the rest of the series really well then we are gonna be in for a treat for future fights.

Spoiler

Yup that fight between Gojo and Toji if animated really well is gonna be absolutely incredible. Toji is legitimately ridiculous in the way he fights. Straight up hardcore lol.

Oh snap we got naruto handsigns up in here too???

 

[Mediking]

Just finished... another amazing episode. So intense and wild

 

[IHaveIce]

I'm soooo happy so far how well this was adapted.

Nobara is so well done I like her already way kore than in the manga

 

[Deleted member 4461]

This show is the best thing all year. Fantastic all around

 

[RochHoch]

Not much else to say beyond this being a really great adaptation. Glad they're not holding back with the gore.

More like shadow puppets. Fushigoro makes the shape of a corresponding animal to summon it.

[Vommy]

The great episodes keep on coming.

 

[Astral]

Fushiguro's got some manly fucking hands.

 

[Dougieflesh]

Thank God the pacing is fantastic for this adaptation. Next week will be fun.

 

[Blackleg-sanji1]

I'm conflicted. I usually stan a lightning boy...but how can I sit here and not adore fushiguro and his majestic hands and anime curses

 

[Sander VF]

So is this sorta kinda like early Bleach?

 

[Kaah]

Great episode but I have no idea where the anime is heading if we already know that Sakuna is much more powerful than a class-S curse who absorbed a finger.

 

[Kaah]

double post sorry

 

[AquaWateria]

That animation where Yuji get's thrown around by the Special Grade was fantastic.

Everyone in this series has godtier hands, it's the author's specialty.

From how Sukuna was all for teaming up with the curse until it attacked him, and how the episode ended with Itadori unable to regain control, I assume this arc is meant to establish that Sukuna can't be used as a crutch.

I say it feels more like YuYu Hakusho/Hunter x Hunter than it does Bleach.

I'm trying to remember early Bleach and "Hollow" Ichigo. Ichigo and Hollow Ichigo had internal battles for control but I don't think Hollow Ichigo ever really took full control. Hollow Ichigo was awesome though. Thanks for reminding me how cool he was in the manga lol.

 

[gunlovefiction]

read the first few chapters of the manga and thought they were pretty alright but the anime elevates this one to another level.

 

[AquaWateria]

I really love how they are animating the curse energy.

Lol is it? They're so damn detailed, especially when Fushiguro does his dog hand sign.

 

[ForgeForsaken]

Ok, for Manga readers, can someone answer this without any details, does Yuji's crazy physical abilities before eating the finger ever get addressed or is it one of those things like in JoJo that the author eventually just forgets about?

When I read the manga that was the first thing I noticed lol.

It's like My Hero Academia hands, but with a rougher art style which I really like.

I wouldn't spoil that tbh.

As someone that has only watched the anime, it doesn't seem like anyone is going to forget about it. In episode 3, he was literally called out for being able to punch through concrete (and being unsurprised about it)

And before his grandfather died, we learned there's something he (and we) don't know about his parents

I'd maybe wait longer to ask that question before we're spoiled on whether or not it is a thing we should be concerned about

Yup definitely this if you are an animeonly viewer.

I would just wait until the anime progresses. It's better that way.

 

[Oghuz]

So far this anime is fantastic. I really like all the characters too, especially the main character. It's nice to have a shounen MC who isn't a total bonehead or has an annoying ass voice.

 

[IHaveIce]

Anybody got some sick ass gifs?

Like the energy around Nobara's nails?

I have to convince sone people to watch this 👀 and to think that we are not even 1% into the craziest powers in the show makes me so excited.

My fav Gojo has to be fabulous in the anime

 

[lvl 99 Pixel]

episode 4 felt really janky for some reason

 

[KaCo]

Damn, they really got destroyed on their first mission together.

Went from 'happy go lucky' to 'everything is fucked now' so quickly, seeing Yuji get roughed up like that was hard to watch.

Wonder how Megumi going to deal with something that's above a special grade level as shown from the preview.

I love the way that the ink-brush outlines on the cursed energy make it look just... unreal compared to everything else.

God, what an episode. Yuji finally gets some power, winds up, shoves it right into the bad guy's face, and it does FUCKING NOTHING. This whole arc is a mood.

Anime that subverts the usual shit already gives me great vibes lol

 

[lvl 99 Pixel]

The bad guy not even flinching because he's on another level is one of the most shounen tropes lol. As is the protagonist having a evil form thats super powerful but they don't want to use it. Im waiting for something to truly separate this show, because the most interesting aspect thus far is just that his mission involves ultimately having to be executed (which I don't really believe will happen for a second).

You also have the two domain abilities with the naruto handsigns.

That's cool tho. I was wondering what those signs were based off of.

Seems like this is great. I'll wait till the season is done to watch, really looking forward to it.

Yeah, but that's usually something they do to sell the bad guy's invulnerability to an old power, thus inspiring growth. Having them *completely* no-sell the attack with that growth factored in is a lot more unusual. Even if the hero's new power isn't up to snuff, they'll usually at least get a "not a bad hit" kind of reaction. This fucker didn't even stop giggling.

Yea curses in this series are built different as we have seen from that special grade lol.

They're not really treated as anything special after the intro, just plot McGuffins whenever they're needed.

lol at Sukuna putting in a good 15 seconds of thought about how to beat screw over Yuji before the urge to stunt on the curse took over.

Surprised Megumi got another scene that looked pretty cool for just being him running in a hallway/corridor but whatever works.
