I thought Nanami was done for sure. The fact that the author used the guaranteed hit effect of the Domain to the user’s disadvantage was something I’d never expected. So well crafted. Keep up the good work!
Just to clarify it's not that nanamis attacks are weaker than yuji against mahito, it's that nanamis attacks cannot damage mahito at all because you have to damage mahitos soul for it to register any damage to him. As seen last episode yuji threw a punch that made mahito bleed from his nose, it's because yujis houses 2 souls in his own body so he has an understanding of the outline of souls, which allows yuji to do soul damage to mahito.
Non-spoiler-y write up on achieving Domain Expansion: Domain Expansion is the single greatest feat a sorcerer or spirit can achieve. They're so rare that being able to do it lets you auto-win against most opponents, simply because most opponents aren't able to use Domain Expansion. It's so difficult to achieve because it requires that the user is aware of their Innate Domain (remember Sukuna's mind palace place where he made the pact with Yuji?) Innate Domain is like your inner world with ties to your soul and mind that are reflected in its appearance (Sukuna's was filled with blood and bones.) And being aware of Innate Domain isn't the only requirement; the user has to have enough skill to manifest their Innate Domain inside a barrier, and imbue that space with their Cursed Technique. It is a monumental feat, that for the most part only special-grades are capable of pulling off. When Mahito was caught in their combo he felt a closeness to death which can be a trigger for sorcerers or spirits. Sorcery is rooted in negative emotions and feeling the intimate presence of death can cause the last pieces of the puzzle to fall into place. My guess is that Mahito was aware of his Innate Domain already, since he can perceive the soul it may have been easy for him. The desperation he felt must have awakened his ability to manifest the Domain.
not one of you goofy kids trying to be edgy, they didn't say he was THE best. just one of the best and you're just a hater for no reason if you think not.@@Haydyne
I’ll never forget seeing Mahito’s domain the first time. The visual paired with music and ominous groan as it activates. Truly spooky. I also relate him a lot to Orochimaru in the sense of being sinister and manipulative.
He’s definitely giving me Orochimaru vibes yeah! Maybe cause he likes to lick his mouth a lot 😅 but no I see what you’re saying. Very sinister 👀 this domain expansion was SO HYPE - last thing I expected.
Honestly, this arc is one of the best villain's introduction in anime I've seen. In just 5 episodes Mahito: 1) Make Junpei a sorcerer and almost corrupt him with his nihilistic philosophy. 2) Give Nanami (experienced 1st grade sorcerer!) fight worth his money (remember that Mahito lives only 1-2 months!). 3) Manipulate both Junpei and Yuji to become friends and later enemies. 4) Give Yuji total breakdown and make him remember that death is not always fair. 5) Almost succeed in turning him into Sukuna/killing him. 6) Use his own fear of death to get Domain Expansion! (with best theme in anime) Not only heroes can get boost from near-death experience, you know! 7) Show one of the most creative shapeshifting i've seen. 8) Summarizes, becames Yuji perfect arch-enemy. After this arc Mahi instantly became my favorite JJK character. And after later arcs..... one of the favorite secondary villains in all anime
Just to clarify, Yuuji's attacks aren't stronger than the attacks of Nanami, they are more effective at directly attacking Mahito's soul because Yuuji is somehow aware of his own soul due to Sukuna's possession, an attack can be the strongest but if that cannot damage directly the soul it's just useless
A hilarious way I saw someone explain Sukuna’s actions here: Imagine Yuji is driving a car, he crashes it into Mahito’s house and Sukuna nearly kills Mahito because he had the gall to have his house in the way lol Technically Yuji’s the vehicle but it speaks pretty well to Sukuna’s pride and conceited nature
His personality is badass but i wanted him to be like an anti-hero or something like that. But after Season 2 im pretty confident he's the main villain and will be the final boss.
@@globalselejt5476 i think what i like most about him is i half-expected him to be the anti-hero and he has pretty firmly established that he is not, lol
god that song at the end (before the outro) has gotta be one of my favorite tracks in the series, it hits so hard for that scene after the emotional rollercoaster of watching the Junpei character arc
This anime is so good with the world building, characters and moral dilemmas. Can't wait for you to catch up because you're in for the ride of your life.
@@FlexiejayAnime of course, love your reactions and analysis. This show doesn't necessarily feed you the information the same way other animes do but you do a great job at verifying the info. Would love to see a Tier list if you could find the time to rate all the characters each season.
I was hyping over the Mahito double-team beat down the first time I watched this, but going back, there was a lot of emotional development and backstory provided all at once, and showing the philosophy behind their drive, morality and aspirations was very refreshing for the pacing now that I'm revisiting it. There's a lot to think about.
I saw the little proud moment you had when you predicted the Arigato from the bakery women and the oh my god from the Mahito scene Geez I love your reactions!
@@FlexiejayAnime oh and by the way, as you may already know, most of a sorcerer's power is entirely a genetic lottery, which is one of the reasons why not every grade 1 sorcerer has a domain expansion(they can perfect their techniques for the rest of their lives, but they won't obtain it simply because they were not lucky enough) while some students can obtain a domain expansion before even graduating from Jujutsu High.
I wanted to clarify that Having a Domain expansion is not abaut being strong, it is an extremly complex technique that requires a lot of control over your energy and has to be tailor made by yourself, sure, you need to have a minimum amount of curse energy in order to do it, but beside that you can still be much tstronger than someone whit a domain and still being unable to create one of your own. It is much harder to create a domain for some techniques than for other and the dificulty dosn't depends of the strenght of the technique either. I hate Mahito, he is an incredibly well write character and i hate him so much
I would love to see your reaction Flexie, amazing reaction! the best one! 🤩❤ I'll tell you something about what you think... "NOT NOW" 😁 Anyway, Mahito is the smartest curse. As you know, he can change his form into anything. Can you guess who will kill him? 🤔
I'm not gonna lie, hearing you mispronounce it as Juzitsu Kaisen is slowly becoming one of the most endearing parts of these reactions. At this point the few times you nail it it sounds wrong 😂

Very well explained bro
This comment need to be appreciated.
Not even 90% of jjk fanbase know these details.
Although he might be one of the most hated character in jjk mahito's probably one of the most well written new gen character
I hate him with a passion.
Not even, but sure
Not new gen character but a really good written villain. He is the pure evil of human kind, even tho we hate him is he really fascinating
what I like about him is that he has absolutely no pride or shame, the moment he starts losing he just runs away laughing
not one of you goofy kids trying to be edgy, they didn't say he was THE best. just one of the best and you're just a hater for no reason if you think not.@@Haydyne
Love Yuji, he’s such a wholesome protagonist in a cursed world.
I’ll never forget seeing Mahito’s domain the first time. The visual paired with music and ominous groan as it activates. Truly spooky. I also relate him a lot to Orochimaru in the sense of being sinister and manipulative.

Same vibe and animation than the last form of Aizen vs Ichigo before mugetsu.

Forgot how good this arc was. Junpei's death really hurt the first time I watched it 😭 the opening fooled me

This episode started me falling in love with Sukuna. It only gets better from here

I’m SOOOO curious 👀

Honestly comparing where we are in the manga to where you are is just heartbreaking but I love it all the same
Love your jjk reactions! I'm always waiting for a new video
We gonna use a domain with this one!!!🗣🗣🔥🔥
to have a domain expandion is a very hard feat to do, just like bankai, only very few are able to achieve one
I saw the little proud moment you had when you predicted the Arigato from the bakery women and the oh my god from the Mahito scene
Geez I love your reactions!
One of the best episoddes of season 1 tbh
In my opinion, in order to achieve the main expansion, people have to have a good sense of self and who they are as a person
Your channel is the best thing that happened to me!
😂 I’m so glad!! Thank you 💘
We bout to expand in this one
Seen the solo leveling and these and they are good. Just subscribed! Awesome reactions! Keep watching. It keeps getting better!!!
Hey! Thank you so much 😄 welcome to the community - I appreciate you 🔥
This was one of my favorite episodes of the season
And the jump-jutsu kaisen begins
Next arc is fire 🔥
I'd say you were appropriately excited
Omg I love Nanami so much I feel Like my Body is going to explode!
🎉
First jump jutsu kaisen moment right there
NANAMI MY GOAT! The gangups in this show are insane! (I know i'm just over half a year late)
Not gonna lie sukuna is handsome 💀💀
I want to have my own Domain Expansion too! 😤😤
Domain Expansions so far:
Sukuna
Gojo
Volcano Head
Mahito
(Nanami can’t make a Domain Expansion because it’s too complicated for him)
Bro fr said nuh-uh not today
IM GON COOK NOW THAT IM BEATEN TO SHI-
Episode 19 is pure hype🔥🔥🔥🔥
👀👀

UR THE BEST RECATION CHANNEL ON JUJUTSU KASIEN IN MY OPINION 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Hahah ah! Thank you!! 💞🔥
I'm so scared for u ngl thats all I'm saying this show is amazing and brutally true 😂 to say the least
11:02
I just realized that line was used by Gojo in S2
Except it's translated "Throughout heaven and earth, I alone am the honored one"
This is just a Top new gen anime.!
Can't wait to see her reaction to episode 9 season 2 11 minutes 53 seconds
👀 damn so specific lol
@@FlexiejayAnime don't worry, It 's just Mahito beig goofy in the midst of a serious battle
Waiting for Mahoraga entry ⛔

I like that idea! ❤️🔥 I’ll try to figure out how I can do that time wise. Thank you!
I would love to see your reaction Flexie, amazing reaction! the best one! 🤩❤
I'll tell you something about what you think... "NOT NOW" 😁

😂🫶🏻 when I say it right it feels so wrong to me too .. lol thanks for the love!
