MAPPA turns grief into a 28-minute Kill Bill style hack and slash of blood splatters, relentless sword work, zero wasted seconds. One of the best episodes in years, absolutely devastating!

Maki looked so incredibly cool destroying her toxic family, but this episode was so rushed that they cut important details. This arc totally deserved to be split into 2 or 3 episodes because the story is just that worth doing right!

This episode balances action and character moments well. We get more insight into the mindset of the players trapped in the game. The emotional weight starts to build, and the stakes feel personal, not just physical.

INSANE. This is easily the best action ep of the year. Maki returns to the Zenin clan for Cursed Tools to prep for the Culling Game and it is pure hype. Seeing Maki face her past trauma with this level of animation is peak JJK. She is on another level now. Do not miss this ep.

This episode is insanely cool in a way that feels cold, sharp, and also unstoppable. Maki's character development hits like a thunderclap! Every swing, every step, every silent stare carries the weight. what a brutal episode!

With the next phase approaching, alliances solidify and objectives sharpen. Strategic groundwork replaces reactionary combat as participants prepare for a system built on point accumulation and rule manipulation. Preparation becomes the foundation for survival.

What can I say more? This episode is such an OP episode in terms of animation style and fighting style. So many techniques from every Zeni clan were shown and Maki obliterated them all in a single episode. This episode is clearly PEAK!

If you've seen the clips online, you owe it to yourself to watch the full episode. This is one of the most fluid sequences of fights that Mappa brought to life and displays the careful, cinematic, hauntingly beautiful and brutal qualities that make JJK a must-watch to anime.

This episode was brutal and emotional at the same time. Maki felt unstoppable, and you could sense her pain behind every action. The animation made everything hit even harder. It was powerful, uncomfortable, and honestly one of her most unforgettable moments.
