Nobody cares about Itadori's fight with Grasshopper, why did they make me waste so much time over something so insignificant? Unfortunately, in adaptations they often cut essential parts, while others keep unnecessary things.

Itadory, unusually, was calm in his fight against Ko-guy.
Gojo was also very calm, something that surprised me a lot. Jougo didn't ever seem surprised. I think everything is going according to the plan until now.
I wonder how Gojo will fix this situation.

Gojo doesn't seem to be having too much difficulty in this situation, which isn't that surprising.
Itadori and Mei Mei got to team up for this one, looks like its going well.

I said it before; I don’t think this is a tv problem more than MAPPA literally did this on purpose in streaming services and spread this ghosted pile of meh on us just to buy blu ray. Like what’s wrong with MAPPA? Other than making me get more hype, I literally get more worried. It wasn’t this bad in Gojo arc when they were sharing it on streaming services.

And before anyone defends them, they literally released AOT this year and it was dimmed like this.

Holy fuck can someone give me a specific moment in this episode where "ghosting" noticeably fucked it up because I'm genuinely watching these episodes all the way through and am barely noticing shit. It was worse last week but idk my enjoyment this week was barely affected 🤷‍♂️

Anyway, it looks like they slightly changed the order of events in the anime but it should make things flow better. In the manga, we saw some of the Gojo fight first before switching to Yuji's fight then coming back to Gojo, but here they got Yuji's fight out of the way so the focus can stay on Gojo's fight. I like that choice.

I remember someone asking last week why they dragged all the innocent people into this and as I told them, this episode explained that. Of course, you can take all the prerequisite measures that you want, but when it's Gojo you're dealing with there still isn't any guarantee of success/victory. He looked like a menace at the end, and we know what happens when that man gets serious. A moment I've been dying to see animated will happen next week so I can't wait for that.

god, the manga has been out for years, they could've analyzed which parts are and which parts aren't relevant in the long run and cut some of it out... like, was there a reason to have yuji fight this insect curse for over half of the episode? makes me think they are planning a shibuya incident part 2 season, cuz no way they fit all of it in the 15 or so episodes that remain

@Confused_100 again mappa is not to blame, tv laws and Toho are, Toho animation got the distribution rights of jjk mappa work is to just animate, why they do after that is not handled by mappa.

As the story moves forward. We are finally looking at Shibuya and what all the people have been up to. Where Gojo seems to find himself facing the same good old curses from last season. Yuji is with Mei Mei and Ui Ui who will face his side of problems. Ui Ui made his first appearance.

Looking forward to the interaction between the characters whom we didn't get to meet that much in the previous season. Yuji is a nice kid. Praying for the deceased. Gojo looks menacing there at the end. Once again, Ghosting is gonna be the biggest problem that this show is gonna face. Sadly. All one can do is wait for the Blu-rays. Can't wait for the next episode.

what's ghosting here exactly?

the greatest arc of jjk started and Itadori is already put into the worst possible situation. That's not something new, it sucks though. On the otherside, it's Gojo vs the rest. Exciting battles.

If only the framerate was consistent, I would have loved it. And I personally think the episodes ending abruptly also hurts. Satoru getting angry should have been the final scene of the episode with a fearful track in the background.

Pretty disappointing episode, not bad but disappointing. I knew that the grasshopper fight would happen this episode instead of next episode, I have no problem with that considering that means the next episode will be even better. But the animation for the grasshopper fight and most of the episode wasn't great. Also the vibe was very weird at times, they couldn't balance the comedy with the serious so the serious music was playing as there was supposed to be a funny scene.

The pacing was weird, the one scene when the grasshopper was shocked that yuji could tell he was a grasshopper was way too long, it felt like Toei pacing. Also the ghosting was horrendous. Anyway, the next episode is going to be peak.

Gojo has entered the Shibuya veil, and the Jujutsu sorcerers all begin their sortie from wherever they are. Starting with the Mei Mei team with Yuji, Mei Mei and her brother Ui Ui, scouting the surrounding area for potential enemlies, like transfigured humans which would lead them to whoever's responsible for the veil over Shibuya, much less just Mahito's alone. And Yuji facing a grasshopper (or the proper term, locust) curse, it felt like just pure comedy, aside from the fight. But make no mistake, the locust curse is just as powerful, but what isn't the copious amount of ghosting in the action scenes, which yeah, it's a nitpick going forward, but hopefully it won't diminish the entire experience of the famed arc.

Back to Gojo, facing Mahito's minion, with Geto's knowhow about how Gojo's Domain Expansion works, it should've been a clear battle from the start once Geto makes his arrival.

That said, this is only the start. Expectations...are kinda muddled in the water for me...

Yuji going bug exterminating. Taking on this giant locusts curse that keeps talking about who's clever and who's not. Some horrible effects to minimize the amount of animation needed as Yuji punched this thing. Way too much ghosting and blurring to hide all the punches and move the camera around to hide it even more. When they were jumping through the walls or something that didn't look good either. At the least Yuji dispatched this thing very quickly and it's already done. He was teamed up with Mei Mei and her weird as hell little brother, whatever they got going on is not it. Gojo getting a warm welcome now that he's inside the veil, both Jogo and Hanami going on the attack. Geto plan to keep Gojo busy long enough for him to deploy the prison realm. Lots of talking and explaining why Gojo will do certain things in this situation and won't do other things. Geto knows him very well so that he can practically predict Gojo moves. Backing him into a corner might not be a good idea but Jogo and Hanami have to keep him busy long enough.

Those poor folks just wanted to enjoy Halloween but now they’re being used to defeat Gojo lol, rip to those caught in the crossfire, but I have a feeling no one is going to survive and if so it’s gonna hurt to watch. Also the Grasshopper/Locust guy was goofy and fun, definitely an unexpected enemy to start the arc with on Yuji’s side, their fight was pretty cool tho and Locust man was just silly enough to keep it lighthearted lol, I have a feeling there won’t be much more of that tho.

And Mei Mei and her little assistant or bother, not sure which, had some funny bits throughout the episode, definitely looking forward to seeing them in action. And now the assault on Gojo has begun, it seems to be going his way now but I had a feeling that playing into the enemy’s hands was a bad idea, rip to those people once again tho and I’m looking forward to seeing how this fight escalates.

I think that was me, at least I know I asked that and I think it was you who answered. Yeah, now I see it, they´re using people as a shield against Gojo to keep his abilities restrained. Like Pseudo-Geto said, the curses can´t really go all out either because if Gojo senses that he can´t save those people, then their leverage goes out the window. And even without using his curse techniques or his domain, Gojo is still a menace to this beings. In any case, they don´t have to beat him, they just have to stall him. I don´t know why Geto needs 20 minutes or what for, maybe that´s the time he needs to active the Prison Realm to trap Gojo.
CAn´t wait for the fights and then come here and read all the complaints about the ghosting.

Even if people are right, all this talk about the ghosting is really getting exhausting. It´s gonna be this way until the series over, isn´t it? I don´t know if the episode I watched has been afected by this, but if it has, it´s total fine with me.
Now I know why those curses wanted the people there. It still awful, but at least there is a point to it. I know it´s in the curses nature to hurt and kill, but still, mindless, pointless killing will always bother me. Jogo didn´t waste anytime killing those people in the tracks. Can´t wait to see how they fair against Gojo. Even restricted, 3 against Gojo might not be as easy or leveled as they thought. And Gojo is pisses that he can´t go all out, so tought times ahead for those curses (I think).

Yuji putting his hands to work on that grasshopper. Can´t wait to see more of him. His face when Ui Ui was talking to Mei Mei is the representation of all our faces watching their interactions.
