VerifiedIt’s time for Nanami to step up now that Gojo is sealed. You can feel the pressure, anger, and determination building inside him. I want to see more of Nanami’s badass side!
vanmoerij
VerifiedNanami is scary AF when he stops holding back! The shift in his energy is a massive directorial W. Watching him dismantle an opponent with cold, clinical rage shows exactly why he’s a 1st grade powerhouse. The power level between him and a normal sorcerer is terrifying.

VerifiedMultiple fights, multiple locations MAPPA juggling it all and mostly sticking the landing. Some threads move faster than others but the energy never drops. Rescue attempts going sideways in ways you don't expect. Stress-watching behavior unlocked. *ehem* Nanami daddy *ehem* rawr!

So many things were happening at once, really an absolute chaos in the best way! Toji is too GOAT. This episode was insanely tense from start to finish. It was nice seeing Nobara finally get some action too. And Nanami? FIRE!

keeps the adrenaline high while showcasing strong character moments. The intense action, Mei Mei’s cool-headed personality, and Toji’s chaotic presence make this episode gripping from start to finish. It really leaves you wondering what’s going to explode next in Shibuya

This episode was intense and exciting from start to finish. The action scenes were powerful and the characters faced serious danger. The pacing kept me engaged and every moment felt important. Definitely a WATCH episode.

Nanami still being a badass even though Gojo Being Absent. This episode really showed how calm anger is channeled in a character.

Nanami's rage. The graphics of the lighting in the hallways are gritty. The suspense is palpable as the "7:3" sorcerer hunts down Haruta for his crimes.

what an epic episode. Nanamin looks very cool and very manly. The emotion is strongly delivered and the satisfying redemption is packaged very well and exciting in every action.

The chapter contains marvelous visuals and well-animated choreographic battles like the previous chapter.
It also does a bit of set up for the furture episodes.
It was satisfying seeing Nanami get manhandled here (He deserves it).
Overall, I’m looking forward to the next episode

Nanami going FERAL on Haruta after seeing what happened to Nobara is one of the most satisfying moments of rage in the whole series. Then the Toji situation getting more unhinged, Dagon fully evolving, AND Mei Mei's Smallpox fight?? This episode is doing TOO MUCH and I love it.

Shibuya heats up as sorcerers face off against dangerous curses. Gojo’s strategy and presence dominate the battlefield while tactical fights keep every moment tense and high stakes. Watching characters adapt under pressure while the city feels alive had me gripping my seat.
EPISODE CONTEXT
Sitting at the midpoint of the 23-episode season, 'Blunt Knife' is deep in the Shibuya Incident arc and follows 'Seance,' where the sorcerers began mobilizing to rescue Gojo — now the mission's consequences are hitting hard and fast across multiple fronts. This episode escalates the conflict by splitting focus between Nanami and Mei Mei's respective battles, building directly toward episode 13, 'Red Scale,' which pushes these threads into even more dangerous territory.
