The one complaint I have with the fight is that the way they drew Megumi and his doggo at the end there doesn't make it clear enough that they came out of the Curse's shadow

They don't even draw the curse's shadow in the frames before.
Yeah, I can see that being fixed in the BD release or whatever.

So yeah, in case anyone reading this didn't get how the curse got blindsided at the end there, they came out of his shadow and the Domain Expansion, which enables Megumi to do things like this, was still going after the curse blew the shadow gunk away.

Other than that, they did that scene justice.

That Juju Stroll was fucking hilarious, but can someone explain why the entire gang would be trying to stop Megumi from being hit on?

I think everyone in the group just loves teasing him.

Plus I imagine there's a host of other reasons.

Nobara's really vain so Megumi showing romantic interest in someone else other than her means she's losing to another girl and her self-perceived superiority can't have that.

Itadori is insecure that Megumi willl stop hanging with him if he has a girlfriend that he enjoys more.

And Gojo is trolling.

Maybe they're all a little possessive of him too.

I know this probably isn't what you mean, but just to be sure, I don't think she into either of them romantically.

Probably this, plus teasing.

This shit was planned out and premeditated too.

I know. I'm just saying in her mind, everyone has to find her hot and be interested in her regardless of whether she's interested in them or not. That's the read that I get off of her.

But I'm gonna start shipping them as an OT3 (as a result of the Jujutsu Stroll) even if I'm good with them all just being besties:

Edit: Don't take me to horny jail, guys, but I just noticed that Itadori has his hand on Megumi's ass and Nobara's wrapping Megumi between her legs in this picture.

Greaaaat ep. I liked the way they did Chimera Shadow Garden - it's going to look *very* cool when it's complete. They did mess up the very end of the fight but c'est la vie. Next ep is gonna be hype.

And yes, the Juju Stroll was incredible.

I feel like the subs were a bit misleading in places.

Gojo doesn't tell Megumi that he has as much potential as Yuji, he actually tells him that his potential exceeds that of Yuji. Unless, of course, it is the manga translation I read that was wrong.

Also the first half of the flashback dialogue about his father almost made it seem like his dad had some semi-noble intentions or something, although the later lines clarify that his dad sold him to the clan. Should've used "bargaining chip" instead of "trump card", even if the latter is more direct translation.

Between this and the shadow complaint, I must be sounding real nitpick-y lol

Really good episode. Really cool to see Megumi cut loose and I love that his Domain is basically a shoggoth.

Nobody in here gonna talk about how they censored all of that man service? Just realized the "don't see my back" thing is a Jojo's reference.

Kinda bummed they didn't show megumi surfing on the shadowfrogs and his utilization of shadows was shown more clearly in the manga, but those are just minor nitpicks, overall episode was great as always

Ayyy Megumi with the DUB for once. Really great animation too and the backstory was nice.


I AM a bit tired of the constant stomps in this show though. Need some more evenly matched fights. Hopefully next week's episode provides that.

Juding how many fanart (male) characters who haven't appeared in the anime yet get, this is going to get even "worse" lol

That Juju Stroll tho. Yuji, Nobara and Gojo really out here sharing one brain cell and i'm here for it. I love JJK and I would still watch a show only about Megumi and his three idiots.

Really liked this song during the Todi &Yuii VS Hanami fight in episode 20 and this cover is pretty damn good. Can't walt for the full musical score to drop in April to get the offical version.

I appreciate how the show and the manga have managed to keep Domain Expansions as this big deal, to the point where Megumi busting one out is a super-hype moment that instantly lets you know that his potential is legit.

I hope Jujutsu Kaisen never gets to the point where every jobber has a Domain Expansion and that it never gets devalued.

Only human so far who could do it is Gojo
Nanami couldn't even do it

With how long it takes to get to the opening in some of these later episodes I feel the finale of season should just push it back till its playing right before the credits.

That "Cheap Trick" looking JoJo dude was great. One of the more flamboyant, buffer, prettier, male characters we've seen in this too.

I want to see the actual fight scene with him lol.

BTW, here's a cool fact from a databook that can be shared with the anime watchers.

The author said if Jogo (the volcano cyclops) were to be hit with as many Black Flashes as Hanami (the plant monster) was in that previous arc, he'd straight up die. Hanami seems to be the tankiest curse. However, the author also said that Jogo wouldn't be hit in the first place.

Makes sense, between Joho's combustion power and Jogo also probably would have used his domain earlier. Hanami was enjoying the fight until she got started to really get her ass kicked.

What's this about a shadow?
They still come out of the curse's shadow at the end there, it wasn't changed, it's just that the way it is drawn doesn't make it clear enough.

Megumi's fight wasn't bad... but I still feel like the manga version was so much better. In general this adaptation has been good, but I think Maki vs Miwa was the only fight in the whole season where I felt the anime version surpassed (or matched the experience of) the manga.

And that's ignoring the fuck-up with attacking from the shadow.
