Unexpected. Many people though the animation will peak in yuta sequence but mappa said no and naoya goes unlimited budget works, insane smears animation back to back. Great yuta aura farm direction too. Also the naration not break the hype rather make choso technique more impact

This episode is incredibly tense, with a plot twist between Yuta and Yuuji. The return of Yuta Okkotsu is terrifying. He is such a goat. The tension in the manga is even more intense in this episode. Who would have guessed Yuta's tactics would be like this?

This episode starts to show how brutal the game really is. We see different players and their motivations, which makes the world feel bigger and more dangerous. The pacing is steady, focusing on strategy rather than nonstop fighting. The psychological pressure is noticeable.

A renewed confrontation reshapes priorities inside the Shibuya barrier. As opposing forces press forward, sorcerers reassess timing and positioning to regain control. Tactical persistence and composure under pressure become decisive in stabilizing the situation.

this second episodes turns the Culling Game into a tense chessboard, rules sharpen, motives surface, and the quiet dread hits harder than fights. Action is sparse but suspense heavy, making every pause feel dangerous.

Megumi initiates controlled engagement to assess opponent technique and point value, conserving shikigami for adaptability. Yuji Itadori prioritizes mobility and civilian risk control. Both test colony mechanics, focusing on rule exploitation over brute elimination

Choso vs Naoya🔥 the fight choreography was insane! Every hit felt so clean and intense. And then they casually showed Yuji’s dad?😱 Now I’m dying to know who his parents really are. I need that backstory! Also seeing Yuta, Yuji, and Megumi in one frame - my heart is full❤️✨

This is a masterclass in establishing stakes through conflict. The choreography of fights demonstrates MAPPA’s continued dominance in action. Fights are fast but readable, signaling that the series is pivoting from a traditional battle shonen to more strategic royale battle.

JJK did not do a good job re-onboarding people into the lore of the universe. So many things were confusing, as many aspects of the lore were NOT explained well.

Yuji's struggles hit hard in this ep. The shift from Shibuya to the Culling was executed 100/10 🤫 not to mention that Choso is stealing hearts whenever he shows up on screen (mine included) 😜
