Oooh, I want to see these new students soon!
I guess the tournament Arc is still happening after all that shit with Mahito ? meh
Why wouldn't it? The only one involved was yuji. This curse shit happens all the time remember. A restaurant was set on fire and life just keep going on.

if it's any consolation, it's one of the best "tournament arcs" and i really hate that shit (MHA, Naruto) in shonen comics.
The doctor said there was no coming back after being transformed from examining the bodies of the first two yuji and nanami killed
I can only say as a Manga reader I was super confused why junpei was teased in the opening as a class mate on the academy

I love the current OP and ED too but I think we getting a new OP and a new ED when the new cour aka arc starts. I got a feeling the new OP is gonna be fun and jumpy like MHA season 2's and the new ED is gonna be sad lol
It's more of a what could have been scenario and just to show how hopeless the Jujutsu society is.
Heh, this instantly popped up in my mind after watching that rage scene from E12:
Didn't notice that the Sukuna mouth on his cheek had a full chuckle going too.
All he had to say was no!
Considering all the fights so far were great and animated beautifully... yeah give me that tournament arc.
No Yuji has to know he ain't shit too
It's funny that if Mahito is right Sukuna couldn't heal him anyway he's just being a dick about it
This is definitely the best shonen I've seen in a long time. The animation being stellar definitely helps.
Fuck, I'm legit sad about Junpei and his mom. Been a while since I was so invested in this type of drama in an anime. I was already into his relationship with Itadori too. The animation, the music, it's all so good.
I'm actually pissed that the anime made it look like he would join the team in the OP. I really dislike this kind of thing.

Don't watch Attack on Titan then because that's quickly becoming the king of bait and switch and "tricked you!!!" of plot twists lol
Junpei's death wouldn't have had 1/100th of the impact it had on me, had the show not actively made me think and wonder about the character, thinking about when was he going to join the others at the schools and thinking he would become a main character.
It's impressive really, they made a fantastic job just with that last shot of the OP of Yuji and him together, really made me wonder for quite a few episodes about who was that seemingly so important character (since he seemed to share a strong relationship with the main character, them laughing together), and how come he hadn't shown up yet until a few episodes ago. Had him not be that prominent on the OP under that context I wouldn't be shocked at all about his death, probably would be a character I would forget by episode 20 or something.
The most important impact of that decision is that the show just completely leaves me thinking of what could have been had it turned out differently, and that's a damn amazing thing for a character with less than a handful of episodes to develop.

That's not what I'm gathering from AoT at all. A lot of the episodes are well-directed that give you perspective from both sides. Very good use of flashbacks and monologue from characters. I went back and watched the previous seasons and it all made sense leading up to what's currently happening in the final season.
Not to get too much into AoT discussion here but Season 1 has a haunting dimension to some scenes on re-watch that absolutely were not there on first watch. Some scenes of the latest season also have that when having Season 1 still fresh on the mind, some seemingly innocuous dialogues that becomes absolutely shocking/chilling.
Funny enough I only watched the OP once or twice so I'd entirely forgotten Junpei was featured in it. Now the ED, that I stuck around for. That said the Junpei arc worked pretty well for me as much for the denial of so many expected and common shonen tropes.
Oooh, I want to see these new students soon!
That Mai just straight up has a revolver cracks me up
What's your cursed technique/weapon:
Megumi: i summon different type of spirits to help me fight my enemies
Maki: i use various types of cursed weapons
Toge: my words have power so much so i can say anything but riceball recipes in normal conversation
Nobara: i use hammer and nails as part of my arsenal and to assist in voodoo techniques
Panda: I'm a Panda
Mai what do you have
I have a gun fuck you
To be fair ichiji the assistant basically said anything above grade 3 can take a shotgun
It's still funny Mai weapon in a series about sorcerers and curses inspired by YYH and HxHis a fucking gun and she shoots people
Mai is just keeping it real
But they should have made her gun like Gene Starwind's Caster in Outlaw Star, which used shells containing magic spells of varying strength and effects.

Pakunoda wasn't even particularly strong she just a useful nen ability
But true
That was a metaphor - it was "if normal weapons worked on them."
So, safe to say, it's probably not a normal gun.
Cursed energy does remind me of Nen in that it can be used in a variety of ways including enhancing the users natural abilities, turned into powerful attacks of all sorts or even totally separate entities. Seems its also able to be infused into random objects to increase their stats in some manner like how we saw Nanami punching the wall and infusing all the falling rubble with cursed energy for extra damage. I'm guessing the same applies to a gun and the bullets it would be firing.
Just curious to learn more about them. It seems we don't even know their gender, not that we should if they don't want to tell us but just seems like there wasn't a ton out there. Not even a wiki page from what I saw.
As a manga reader, I think the author is a huge fan of Hunter x Hunter.
I mean, people already picked up on this from the anime.
Pretty common nowadays. Long gone are the days when they would make the authors dress up for group covers. :P
We still don't know the gender of Haikyuu's author for certain (and they don't have a wikipedia page either).
But as usual, unless there's a lot of evidence to the contrary, always best to assume a shonen mangaka is a guy. And in the case of Gege and Furudate (Haikyuu), there are videos of them drawing where their hands/arms can be seen, and going off that, I think they're both guys.
Here's the video of Gege doing a quick drawing.
