EPISODE REVIEWS

I literally had my heart in my hands the entire episode- it was so good!!! Every time I thought something bad is going to happen boom! surprise!

Also man Gojo is something else- I am just at awe of his power man. But I have to give it to the cursed spirit - they are so organized lol and they actually succeeded from what it seems on their mission here.

It’s a perfect balance of heartbreaking grief and exhilarating action that defines the Shibuya Incident arc. One of the strongest episodes of Season 2.

Shifts the focus to overwhelming power disparity, emphasizing dominance through unconventional combat flow. The tone leans into spectacle with controlled chaos.

Our favourite team is here boys, Itadori and Todo fighting together for the first time is all good in this live. No chance to be beated. This battle is huge nothing more to do.

Mahito’s mismatched eyes? Unsettling but kinda cool. Animation on his expressions playful yet creepy. Atmosphere unpredictable. That cute + terrifying mix had me shook.

action feels intense right from the start, especially with the introduction of Sukuna’s overwhelming presence. It really shows how dangerous the world is and how strong the top sorcerers need to be. Also, the way others react to Gojo make it clear that he’s on a different level.

This episode continues the momentum without feeling dragged out. The teamwork is great, and everyone gets their moment to shine. It really feels like the group is growing stronger together.

One of the most “pure fun” episodes of the season if you’re here for combat. it’s so engaging it felt like it was only two minutes long. The sense that Gojo is on a totally different “tier,” makes you comprehend a bit of what will happen in the future.

The Kyoto exchange event explodes into chaos as Mahito crashes the battlefield. Todo’s unhinged brilliance pairs perfectly with Yuji’s raw growth, turning combat into choreography. “Nonstandard” lives up to its name... wild, emotional, and electric from start to finish.

BEST EP SO FAR! ABSOLUTE SAKUGA! The Yuji/Aoi tag team vs Hanami was amazing from start to finish. Aoi’s creative cursed technique left Hanami hopeless. And that Gojo clip at the end, he truly lives up to the episode title: “Nonstandard.”

Absolute Sakuga! Gojo’s arrival was a total 0-diff aura check, but the Yuji and Todo tandem stole the show. Their synergy is a massive W. The "Black Flash" sequence and Todo's technical skill are peak choreography. MAPPA is literally God-tier with the production value.

Watching Episode 20 is a total rush. You’re hyped seeing Yuji and Todo finally "click," turning a brutal fight into a high-speed dance. But when Gojo arrives, the mood shifts from excitement to pure awe. His "Hollow Purple" is so beautiful and terrifying that it leaves you breath

An exciting and energetic episode with amazing animation and fast action. The fights feel powerful and fun to watch making it one of the most entertaining episodes in the series.

Jujutsu stands out not simply because of its action, but because of its emotional severity. It strips the formula of comforting guarantees and replaces them with moral uncertainty.

The episode centers on an intense battle which requires both teamwork and strategic planning. The animated show displays sharp visual elements while its cursed techniques display exceptional visual effects. The story maintains viewer interest a lot due to its suspense.

The stakes feel higher without being overwhelming. The story keeps you engaged with surprises and energy.
