EPISODE REVIEWS

A lot of dialogue and explaining but you realize the importance of each explanation of techniques. It gives you a perspective into each sorcerers power. The star of the show this episode was definitely Maki, for me.

What a strong and bold character who holds her own. That is proven when she has an encounter with her twin.

Loved the combat and the pace of this episode.

Yuji and Todo fighting together is peak anime duo energy and this episode is the payoff. Boogie Woogie clicks into place mid-fight and watching them sync up for the first time is genuinely exhilarating. I had a huge grin on my face the whole time. Must watch.

This episode is intense from start to finish. Sukuna completely takes over, and the scale of destruction feels overwhelming. It’s visually stunning, but also unsettling, showing just how dangerous things have become.

The episode sustains high-energy combat with fluid choreography and constant momentum. Multiple clashes overlap smoothly, making the battlefield feel dynamic rather than segmented.

Yuji’s pain reactions during training? So relatable I felt it. Animation on his grit and sweat detailed af. Atmosphere tough and determined. Made me root for him 100× harder.

dope animation and strong character moments. Maki really stands out, her drive to become clan head despite having no cursed energy is empowering. The battle between the two sisters is intense and emotional, making the episode hit even harder.

The tone shifts hard here, and you can feel the stakes jump instantly. What started as something fun suddenly feels dangerous and serious. The contrast makes everything hit harder.

This episode uses the fights to actually say something about the cast—especially Maki/Mai—and the emotional beats land because the action is felt. A lot of shows try “character backstory mid-fight” and kill momentum; here, here, it sharpens the tension instead.

This EP is all about Maki, and it’s truly a spectacle to watch her defeat opponents without any cursed energy. I really love underrated characters like her, and I feel she truly deserves a higher Grade rating than she currently has. GO BEAT THE SYSTEM, MAKI!!!

Maki is a boss! Keeping up with elite sorcerers without any cursed energy is the ultimate hard worker move. This "femme fatale" episode is a massive visual flex for women in combat. Pure grit and incredible choreography. 10/10 representation.

I watched this episode, it is pure chaos done right. The animation goes all out, the scale of destruction is jaw-dropping, and the emotional weight hits just as hard as the fights. Every moment feels intense, brutal, and unforgettable. I'll give 10/10.

this anime has slow pace to introduce about the jujutsu.

The show mixes emotional stakes with clever battles. It’s exciting and satisfying in every scene.

EPISODE CONTEXT

Sitting at episode 17 of 24, this is deep into the Kyoto Sister School Exchange Event arc, which has been escalating team-versus-team conflicts since the arc kicked off several episodes prior. The previous two group battle episodes established rivalries and power dynamics between the Tokyo and Kyoto students, and this installment intensifies those threads while broadening character focus beyond Yuji and Todo. It sets the stage for the arc's climactic turns in the episodes ahead, where the tournament's chaos is poised to collide with larger threats looming over the season's back half.
