Justifying why someone would explain their powers in a fight is genuinely one of the best writing decisions in the entire story. It quickly and efficiently explains the capabilities of a character and their powerset to us while not making the characters look dumb as bricks for randomly explaining their powers to an enemy for absolutely no reason. And it's a believable explanation as well: you explain the way your abilities work, thus putting yourself in a major disadvantage, but you get a big power boost in return.
Yes... On the other hand... The rule is so obviously existing for this only reason that it still kinda is dumb... Yes... It doesn't make the characters dumb when they use it but it makes Gege look dumb in my eyes... Or lazy... I don't think there is simple moment in the whole anime and manga where someone would go "and now I will explain my technique to be more efficient" same as there are moments where curse users could explain there and technique and don't (as far as I remember)
@@christopherlansky And yet many characters in manga/anime go on and on explaining how their techniques work for the readers' sake, but without a justification in the context of the story. So well done to Gege for making the effort to give an explanation, even if it's not perfect (and I doubt a perfect one even exists).
@@overthinker1776 I mean it kinda is perfect for the world created, where curses are basically created from what people know. It may not be applied perfectly, to some, but the explanation itself is basically perfect for that purpose.
@@christopherlansky Not only for that reason, its apart of the bigger binding vow system in jujutsu kaisen, sacrifing something to gain something else, which is an important part of the jujutsu kaisen power system, revealing one hand binding vow is just and expansion of binding vows in general which in my opinion is a very creative and fun writing decision
I love Mahito as a villain. He is a curse born from the negative emotions that humans feel towards each other. In a sense, he's more human than the other curses because he is the embodiment of humanity. The mirror of all of its flaws. He is both childish and introspective. And his dynamic with Junpei is really interesting to watch. Nanami is definitely an interesting character. He's serious but also insistent about his values and what he wants to do. And it's even funnier when he's around Gojo who is practically almost never serious about most things
My interpretation has always been that Junpei didn’t necessarily “prompt” Mahito to kill those guys he did play a role in drawing Mahito there. He was so pissed off he had to have been leaking a ton of cursed energy
@@tdoodle1796 you know I always thought he existed already for some reason but he wasn’t present in the earlier meeting with the rest of the disaster curses and Geto so that actually makes a lot of sense
@@hi00118 but he was though, Getou talked to him after Jogo got beaten by Gojo. Which was like a month before this incident. Junpei just drew him there.
@@boggless2771 its short mittsu which is 3 in the native Japanese counting system along with nana for 7. In the Chinese derived system shichi and san are 7 and 3.
Regarding the lack of uniform implying that he hasn't been to school for a while, I think it's because of how comfortable he is skipping school. If it was your first time (or second time, because they have confirmation he skipped the day before too) you'd be visibly nervous, if you did it all the time, you'd do stuff like going to public places (like the movies) in the middle of a random school day.
The eyepatch thing is interesting, this isn't spoilers and I don't think it's ever mentioned in the anime but cursed spirits get agitated by direct eye contact, so some sorcerers hide their eyes to be able to exorcise with less conmotion.
@@laurainathunderstorm Huh interesting. I'm up to date on the manga, but I did kinda speed through chapters 170 to 210. So let's see, I'll reread them when I have the time.
9:50 as someone who has anisocoria which makes my right eye partially blind when the brightness changes, can confirm. Sometimes it takes minutes to get my vision into that eye back if it's too extreme change. On bright light it just hurts but going to darker environment messes with my vision. So I tend to cover that eye from time to time.
I'll never forget the fact that they had Brownberry Wheat Bread that I would buy ALL the time for my breakfasts of eggs + toast + sriracha. It was so perfect in density and when toasted would be even more perfect for my breakfast. Plus it was healthy, and was wrapped up so tight (one 'skin-tight' layer over the typical layer you find on all loafs of bread) that it was ALWAYS super fresh and soft and amazing when you took it home. Then it wasn't there anymore for like a month, then it came back and I was SUPER hyped. But... it sucked. Being an adult is no bueno sometimes.
The reason for the eye coverings, at least for, Gojo is that his ‘six eyes’ ability gives him so much information at once that it can get overwhelming when he’s not doing anything to the point where he doesn’t see the people around him as people anymore, just pure information. That’s why he only takes it off during serious fights.
The lore and the power system for this show is amazing, being a shonen you'd expect some simple "im more powerful" kinda stuff, but the curse energy system and the curses themselves are explained in such cool way.
Except most of the power system is "im more powerful". Techniques and the amount of cursed energy you produce are mostly set in stone, the exceptions are those that have a weaker technique but have figured out clever ways to use it(like Mei Mei).
One of the biggest complaints ive heard about anime is how characters take time to explain their attacks and abilities in the middle of a battle. Naruto probably being the greatest offender. It is genius how they wrote in why they do this in JJK. Giving their explanation an actual purpose is one of the greatest ideas in anime history! On another note, this episode is initiating the beginning of one of the greatest heart break moments, ever! Happy to be watching this in present time with ya!
24:52 They wouldn't have nearly as much information on him if they hadn't done research. They would already know his attendance record at school. That statement was not based on his outfit. "It seems..." just relays that, based on what they know, they can presume something. Him being out of uniform on a school day , just adds to that. :/
5:12 and the movie (when you can hear/read) is actually so...relevant It's like those Death Note scenes early on where Light had to translate English passages. 09:56...oh. Brilliant. You have a good one oh my gosh 10:40 Not the one he likes, the one he's _better_ at.
Fr. I see people praising the English dub, but all I hear is almost everyone's voice getting deeper, as per English language show sensibilities, as well as just less whimsical and emotional in general. And then you have the occasional really great, iconic voice getting changed to smn clearly inferior, à la Nanami Kento.
his japanese va just has this calmness to his voice that i think no one can copy, that's nanami's entire personality. Not worked up. Cool, calm and collected. While i refuse to be one of those fans who absolutely hate the dubbed version, nanami's english VA took an L here
I find it hard to believe that Gojo is a year older than Nanami (Gojo at age 28 and Nanami at age 27). I honestly thought that Nanami was in his 40's & Gojo was in his 20's
Also, the dude would REALLY benefit from using a pop filter. She doesn't have issues with it but he breathes into the mic too much with his 'plosives (words with say a 'p' or 'b' in them) so there's loud annoying thuds whenever he talks using those types of words. Either that or talking a little lower, particularly with those types of words, would do it. Since like I said, only the guy uses too much force while talking to make this a problem, while the girl literally never has this issue. Pop filters are quite cheap and worth it if you want to talk like you do. They also don't degrade sound quality, it's simply a super thin later between you and the mic to catch that extra wind pressure (when saying words like pressure, pop, pussy, potato, etc...) and prevent it from making unwanted noise into the microphone.
The way americans say traitor and trader exactly the same still gets me. First time i visited and my host say " Lets go to traitor joes" i couldnt understand why a supermarket would be named after a traitor.
It's not really explored yet at this point in the series, but there are limitations on one's ability to heal. For someone like Sukuna, an organ or other body part is pretty simple to recover, but if Yuji was thrown into a domain, or blown to smithereens by Gojo, Sukuna wouldn't be able to really recover from that. Also, Sukuna can't take Yuji over at will, so he wouldn't be able to stop him from being killed.
@@soultrax101you're right but at this point, Sukuna now has that binding vow with Yuji. He can play that card if he's about to be executed, and Yuji doesn't remember this.
Gojo is the main supporter of the plan to use him to dispose of the fingers, and he's pretty confident in his abilities. Probably everyone but him is worried about the same thing.
The dub seems to have a minor mistranslation. Nanami didn't choose jujutsu sorcery because he likes it more. He doesn't like either, in the sub it says he chose the one that suits him more.
It would be specifically death caused by people tho, like fear of dying struck by lightning doesn't feed Mahito's existence, but fear of someone stabbing you in a dark alley does. Same with any other negative emotion, it'll only work of it's directed at other humans.
React to the "0" movie after Season 2 Episode 5. Kinda of a spoiler. But the first couple of episodes of S2 are kind of a prequel before season 1, and in the timeline. The movie takes place before season 1. Plus, the movie itself is canon/from the manga.

I think the mythusters did an episode on it. Pretty sure that's where i first heard about the eyepatch thing.
Same
I do love the duo of Gojo and Nanami, because Nanami is so serious and likes rules but Gojo is so playful and hates the rules. XD
I love that 1000 yard stare Montana did remember how she will never have that bread back and it’s gone forever.
Could tell it still haunts her. 🤣
I’m predicting Montana will simp hard for Nanami
Especially in season 2
Especially the latter stages of season 2
Simp “half for nanami”
As a straight cis male I also simp for Nanami

3:32 the hUH is good in both, but for Haikyuu sub watchers I wanna add that this was the moment it registered that THAT'S KUROO TETSUROU (in JP)
Y'all actually understand the rationale behind the Nature curses, which is so refreshing to see

Btw watch jujutsu kaisen 0 qfter season 1 because it takes place before season 1 and a character that appears in season 2
jjk 0 comes after hidden inventory tho so first 5 ep of s1
Sure an individuals negative emotion could draw a curse but is the collective negative emotion that creates the curses
