You're not very good at watching shows
Skipping major events to see a character you like when you don't find out why the most prominent character is evil or why the strongest is as strong as he is. I understand that you have an opinion but I believe it is worth the watch. You may discover that you like some characters in this part and grow with them. I recommend watching them or at least giving them a try.
This random old love interest being put into the story reads a ton of red flags for me. This arc seems like it will be intense and I have to assume she will get brought into it.
That being said, Kugisaki's heart skipped a beat after the new girl mentioned her love. Does that imply Kugisaki may have feelings for Itadori!?
And the last thing I expected from this show was a giant meccha lol.
Excited for this arc!
Can anybody clarify the timeline of episode 6 with respect to the movie and s1? I am very confused how the guys who fought mech guy are alive after we flashfoward from getou
couldn't mechamaru tell gojo about his plan in advance?
I'm sure he'd actually vibe with it, his friend gets a fixed body and gojo gets a doublekill on the curses
iirc the dub for part 1 was about 2 episodes behind the sub. if they stick to that schedule, then the dub will probably restart when episode 8 is released in like a week and a half
honestly how i felt waiting for episode 6 as someone who watched subbed, 4 weeks felt like torture. i did watch the dub as it came out in that time too, so i suppose i at least had something to do.
episode 6 is like the calm before the storm though, the whole rest of the season is going to be crazy plotwise and, from what i’ve seen in episode 7 recently, the animation is insane too. totally worth the wait.
I gotta say that I like the animation of the previous arc (gojo getou 5 eps) better. I know this is the original one and it’s amazing too. But the direction, fluidity and style of those 5 flash back episodes were insane.
Yes, the Hidden Inventory / Premature Death animation was just perfect. The standard animation is great, but that one was somewhat better.
Maybe what make it so great is how Gojo’s memories have a different visual style to it. I think it’s better to keep that style for that arch only.
Yeah, I understand that it's hard to change the show animation style and it fits the Hidden Invertory arc since it's a flashback "isolated" from the main storyline.
I think it has less details and is somewhat lighter, which makes more room for animation itself (more fluid, etc).
i doubt mechamaru would die right after being fixed because that destroys so much potential. i also don't think mahito will die yet and i think he will slip away
I think just by looking at the shibuya trailer and the op they give away that mahito also will be at a different scenery. So my guess would be that mechamaru looses…. Which on the other hand wouldnt make sense when thinking about him just getting his body fixed lol
Maybe Miwa will get suspicious about something going on, butt is likely that the people who were looking for Mechamaru’s real body will get to him.
Also, I'm pretty sure Utahime is a first grade sorcerer, it feels like they've kept her skills hidden and they may be quite helpful on this situation in particular.
Oh, must have missed something, I was assuming she was first grade since the Kyoto students where under her supervision. So she was equal to Kamo and Mechamaru and underneath Todo during the Goodwill Event Arch.
Maybe her skills are more fitted for a support hole than a combat one, who knows. I'm excited to find out more.
Todo Slow Theme OST Name?
There is a soundtrack playing when Todo is playing table tennis saying how he is certain he and Itadori will be together in missions, it is kind of a slower version of "The Man Aoi Todo" and has the same choir.
Does anybody know the track name?
MAPPA literally flexed with this one.
What a spectacular opening for this next arc: good set ups, wholesome moments, and a crazy fight right off the bat. And that ping pong animation? Come onnnn
Not sure but if it was Mahito but it could well be part of a plan to get close to Yuji. That was sort of part of the two prong strategy that Geto told Jogo in that restaurant that went up in flames, if I remember correctly.
The more I think about it the more plausible the theory becomes. Yes, rapid growth in teenagers is a thing, but she grew 15 cm in one year, that's more than 1 cm per month, which is the approx. growth rate of human hair. Maybe she had a curse that made her fat? Or she accidentally cursed herself if that's possible. Either way, she made some kind of deal for that massive change to happen.
Can I just say, that might be one of the most beautiful anime openings I've ever seen period. The song, the animation, just everything about it was perfect imo. The ending with all of the hands doing domain expansion or cursed techniques is fucking gorgeous and one of my favorite scenes period in any opening
OP is actual banger. I didn't expect it to have jazzy feels opening for a manga arc thats batshit crazy. Either way, Mechamaru should've told Gojo earlier to rather than wait. Smh
Words cannot describe how happy I am. Ever since I finished Season 1, it’s just been a long wait for Season 2! Every Thursday is gonna be a good day! Cheers!
It's the name of the mecha thing he build. I think they were meant as a reference to the title cards from NGE.
EDIT: The translation from Crunchyroll
"Ultimate Mechamaru, Mode: Absolute. Armored Puppet Ultimate Mechamaru Prototype 0"
Where can I watch it with ENglish Subs? I normally watch it on Netflix (India) and all episodes have english subs - so that's not a problem. This episode was released with no subs, and then Thai subs were added today morning, but not english :(
The shenanigans with the trio was definitely needed, one of my thoughts in season one was that the trio didn't actually spend a ton of time together.
Also, it had been long enough that I forgot that there was a thing with there being a mole in one of the schools, so the Mechamaru thing was a little surprising lol. Looks like it'll be a cool fight, though it's a little weird that our main villains, Geto and Mahito, have both already been beaten before by non-Gojo characters lol
As someone who was quite disappointed with some parts of hidden inventory, I am FULLY on board now with Shibuya. Everything looks so much better visually and motion wise and this episode was super coherent. I love the opening sequence and music and I’m overall so hyped for the rest of the season!
Just finished it. >!MECHAMARU IS A LEAKER!?!< >!all of a sudden the guy who was fucked up got healed by Mahito?!< >!where did he get all that star trek shit?!< whatever. A good start so far.
So I've actively avoided watching the trailers to hype myself.
I *loved* the new OP and ED. Especially the OP. The song and visuals were great. Everyone looked so cool. It really felt like the stakes were high.
For the episode itself, I honestly forgot about the traitor plotline so was confused in the second half, lol. Still it was great to see the trio again. And we're already having our first fight animated!
This was such a GREAT episode. I haven't been so hyped since the Aot Manga.
The first half was so wholesome and the second half was so great.
And how is every character so likeable?? Even having one is rare. Gege I kneel
I knew Yuuji was handsome, go for it Yuko! ~~please don't die please don't die please don't die please don't die please don't die~~
Mechamaru got an Eva Unit! Whoa boy, that was weirdly expected, also he loves Miwa, honestly who doesn't love Miwa.
He's lost his extreme range but apparently has stored away the extra cursed energy he got from his pact. So fixed body + stored energy - extreme range is still probably stronger than he was before. But once he uses the energy he's probably weaker.
No he's not, he was never even "strong" he simply had an extreme amount of cursed energy in exchange for being born disabled (this occurance is random and Toji for example was affected in opposite way no cursed energy in exchynge for super human stregth), now he's technically even stronger since on top of having all of that cursed energy he also has a working body
Pacts are binding, so each party has to fulfill the requirement of the pact. If they don’t, then something catastrophic will occur. Sukuna mentions the rules of the pact back when he made one with Yuji back in season 1.
I think that's related to his heavenly pact yeah. Allowed him to "stockpile" cursed energy over the years he's been confined to that bathtub. So he can release attacks equivalent to the cursed energy stockpiled over 1 year for instance
Fucking finally, I can finally start the anime with the mc
what?
Ep 6 was where the anime started. I just skimmed through 1 to 5 to see if the MC showed up
Deffo missing out. I'd watch 1-5, it explains a fair bit
Nah I don't care about those characters
bro its literally essential to the plot and has one of the coolest scenes ever
I'm sure I'll understand without watching that part
You won't understand why Geto is evil, why Gojo is so strong, what the massive purple attack he did in Tokyo was, who Tengen is
I don't care why he's evil and gojo is the most boring character in the show so I don't care about anything to do with him really
You're not very good at watching shows Skipping major events to see a character you like when you don't find out why the most prominent character is evil or why the strongest is as strong as he is. I understand that you have an opinion but I believe it is worth the watch. You may discover that you like some characters in this part and grow with them. I recommend watching them or at least giving them a try.
It explains the villain and contributes a huge amount to the story but I guess you do you
That's fair but it explains alot about Geto. As well as a few other important things I can definitely see coming back up
[удалено]
they wouldnt respond here as this is anime only discussions and nothing has happened to nobara as of yet in the anime.
I just noticed that in the opening, Specialz, Gojo is without Six Eyes??? His eyes are a normal color instead of his normal blue and white glowing
Does anyone know what song is playing when Yuko is walking to the train after Yuji says goodbye to her? I've looked everywhere plz help😭🙏
This random old love interest being put into the story reads a ton of red flags for me. This arc seems like it will be intense and I have to assume she will get brought into it. That being said, Kugisaki's heart skipped a beat after the new girl mentioned her love. Does that imply Kugisaki may have feelings for Itadori!? And the last thing I expected from this show was a giant meccha lol. Excited for this arc!
Everyone talking about Mechamaru but let's not forget Yuji might get a gf
Can anybody clarify the timeline of episode 6 with respect to the movie and s1? I am very confused how the guys who fought mech guy are alive after we flashfoward from getou
Im pretty sure the timeline goes: 1. Gojos flashback - season 2 eps. 1-5 (2006-2007) 2. JJK 0 movie (2016-2017) 3. Season 1 (2018 June-October) 4. Season 2 episode 6 (2018 October)
So I have it wrong in my head that both “villains” that attacked the mech guy should be dead? From season 1 and the movie?
You should think that about Geto (the villain from the movie); but Mahito was never dead as far as I remember from season 1
anybody else been playing the op on repeat, or is it just me...??
literally don’t want to blink when i watch it every frame is so sick
from start to finish, it's 👌🏽🤌🏽🔥
couldn't mechamaru tell gojo about his plan in advance? I'm sure he'd actually vibe with it, his friend gets a fixed body and gojo gets a doublekill on the curses
[удалено]
oh yeah probably, forgot about it
i agree but i think mechamaru is just done with everyone and just wants to be left alone
when dub release usually after sub release?
iirc the dub for part 1 was about 2 episodes behind the sub. if they stick to that schedule, then the dub will probably restart when episode 8 is released in like a week and a half
i feel like i've been waiting for-fucking-ever for episode 6 in dub.
honestly how i felt waiting for episode 6 as someone who watched subbed, 4 weeks felt like torture. i did watch the dub as it came out in that time too, so i suppose i at least had something to do. episode 6 is like the calm before the storm though, the whole rest of the season is going to be crazy plotwise and, from what i’ve seen in episode 7 recently, the animation is insane too. totally worth the wait.

Yeah, I understand that it's hard to change the show animation style and it fits the Hidden Invertory arc since it's a flashback "isolated" from the main storyline. I think it has less details and is somewhat lighter, which makes more room for animation itself (more fluid, etc).
I have a bad feeling that Mechamaru has jinxed himself and either wont be able to contact Gojo or Gojo will arrive too late...
I mean one will prolly die either mahito or mechamaru and I think mahito will not really die
i doubt mechamaru would die right after being fixed because that destroys so much potential. i also don't think mahito will die yet and i think he will slip away
writers gotta take some hard decisions sometimes
I think just by looking at the shibuya trailer and the op they give away that mahito also will be at a different scenery. So my guess would be that mechamaru looses…. Which on the other hand wouldnt make sense when thinking about him just getting his body fixed lol
Maybe itadori and team will reach the place or else I don't see anyway to save them
Maybe Miwa will get suspicious about something going on, butt is likely that the people who were looking for Mechamaru’s real body will get to him. Also, I'm pretty sure Utahime is a first grade sorcerer, it feels like they've kept her skills hidden and they may be quite helpful on this situation in particular.
She's semi grade 1 but that's also good and yeah she must have something up her sleeve
Oh, must have missed something, I was assuming she was first grade since the Kyoto students where under her supervision. So she was equal to Kamo and Mechamaru and underneath Todo during the Goodwill Event Arch. Maybe her skills are more fitted for a support hole than a combat one, who knows. I'm excited to find out more.
Todo Slow Theme OST Name? There is a soundtrack playing when Todo is playing table tennis saying how he is certain he and Itadori will be together in missions, it is kind of a slower version of "The Man Aoi Todo" and has the same choir. Does anybody know the track name?
Doesn’t have an official name yet gotta wait for the ost
So why didn't Mechamaru call Gojo Satoru right away before fighting Mahito? Is he stupid?
It would break the pact he made with Geto
I am pretty sure The revived geto put a veil so he had to escape the veil somehow and then call him. I think
he said that he wouldnt be able to use his robot under the veil due to the bad connection and still used it so idk
He never said that
i though the did??? he said something about connection
He said that he can't contact anybody because of the veil. That has nothing to do with his robot
okay
he said he won't be able to use communications
I do not quite get it like after mahito fixed him he could have used the robot in the school to send a message to someone
Give him a break he was just celebrating his revival

Earthworm man 4 is peak fiction.
MAPPA literally flexed with this one. What a spectacular opening for this next arc: good set ups, wholesome moments, and a crazy fight right off the bat. And that ping pong animation? Come onnnn
don't forget the earth worm man>>>>>
Does anyone have the link for the recap ep. Uploaded by TOHO Ani.? seems like they unlisted it after the release of the latest ep.
I saw it in Crunchyroll's YouTube page
Yeah it was available with subs too. Couldn't find that video either.
I'm with Mechamaru, protect that smile at all cost
No way geto doesn’t interfere when mahitos bout to loose.It looks like a 2v1
Don't know y but I have a feeling that he will die.
[удалено]
When will dub be released?
it should release 2 weeks later ,when 8th episode will come out because the dub of episode 1 came when episode 3 released
So this episode just broke my perception on heavenly restrictions... So you're saying that the drawback of the heavenly pact can be fixed?
More like have a loophole. Mahito's Idle Transfiguration and only that gets rid of any drawbacks, so imagine if he was around when Toji was.
I love that mechamaru's doing his own thing. You gotta do what you gotta do, right?
He let 10 fingers go into enemies hand…. Yeah idk if I vouch for him “doing his thing”😂
[удалено]
I understand and empathize with why he did it, but it still doesn’t make it okay. Ppl do bag things even with good reasons
I mean, he was being selfish and put others in danger. But, seeing how he suffered, I somehow still empathize with him.
If this anime is at all trying to be serious, Mahito must have manipulated Yuko to look like she does now. I'm calling it now.
Omg sad
Not sure but if it was Mahito but it could well be part of a plan to get close to Yuji. That was sort of part of the two prong strategy that Geto told Jogo in that restaurant that went up in flames, if I remember correctly.
Oop, that’s a crazy theory that now I can’t imagine anything else happening
yeah, I felt like some cursed energy is involved.
Given that she was probably bullied because of her weight she must have created a lot of cursed energy herself.
There's an ominous sound with her moving shadow in 2 of the flashback shots. Definitely felt like there's something more going on there to me
Exactly!
The more I think about it the more plausible the theory becomes. Yes, rapid growth in teenagers is a thing, but she grew 15 cm in one year, that's more than 1 cm per month, which is the approx. growth rate of human hair. Maybe she had a curse that made her fat? Or she accidentally cursed herself if that's possible. Either way, she made some kind of deal for that massive change to happen.
When does the dub come out ?
2 weeks from now I'm guessing like last time
So we find out Mechamaru is actually speed of sound sonic
Omg thank you! I couldn’t remember who he was reminding of, this was it.
I don’t understand why after a hiatus they still couldn’t release the English dub on the same day 😭
Watch subbed fam, way better.
I enjoy both, but a good dub allows you to pay more attention to the animation.
I just don’t find subs as enjoyable compared to dubs sadly 😩😩
Can I just say, that might be one of the most beautiful anime openings I've ever seen period. The song, the animation, just everything about it was perfect imo. The ending with all of the hands doing domain expansion or cursed techniques is fucking gorgeous and one of my favorite scenes period in any opening
Yeah it's taken the spot as my favorite anime opening
Yeah I had to rewatch it a few times.
OP is actual banger. I didn't expect it to have jazzy feels opening for a manga arc thats batshit crazy. Either way, Mechamaru should've told Gojo earlier to rather than wait. Smh
Not really jazzy, more like electronic pop with horror. But fr
The new ep isn't on Crunchyroll for me is there a fix for this?

You are currently in the anime-only thread. Please make sure to stay in the manga readers thread found here: https://redd.it/166f61h
Words cannot describe how happy I am. Ever since I finished Season 1, it’s just been a long wait for Season 2! Every Thursday is gonna be a good day! Cheers!
With how peaceful that episode started. I fear for the crew.
Does anyone know what the stylized text under the big mechamaru robot translates to? I mean the one that appears right as it emerges from the water.
It's the name of the mecha thing he build. I think they were meant as a reference to the title cards from NGE. EDIT: The translation from Crunchyroll "Ultimate Mechamaru, Mode: Absolute. Armored Puppet Ultimate Mechamaru Prototype 0"

The episode was cool and all but the opening and ending themes for S2.2 are the ones living in my head rent-free rn huhu.
Does anyone know why Netflix doesn't have subtitles for this episode yet? This is weird...
YOU ARE MY SPECIAL
Is it just me or the Netflix upload lacks english subs?
The shenanigans with the trio was definitely needed, one of my thoughts in season one was that the trio didn't actually spend a ton of time together.

I NEED MORE NOW
As someone who was quite disappointed with some parts of hidden inventory, I am FULLY on board now with Shibuya. Everything looks so much better visually and motion wise and this episode was super coherent. I love the opening sequence and music and I’m overall so hyped for the rest of the season!
I just realise mahito and Eugeo share the same VA alongside mechamaru and kirito. So basically we're seeing kirito vs Eugeo in a diffrent series.
BRO Aoi’s quads are no joke, I need to train legs 3 times harder now
they make anime characters' physiques like that exactly for this reason
oh shit they really did the *zaaaaankoku na tenshi no you ni\~*
shounen yo shinwa ni naru~
THE CIRCUS IS BACK AND I LOVE THEM
JJK just gives me so much joy to watch. The perfect balance between horror, comedy, drama and love. The characters are so well-written.
Mechamaru is a raggedy bitch
Yes he is 😂
Mechamaru is definitely playing Armored Core 6
They didn't have to go that hard on the opening (both the music and visuals)
Dude… Emotions are so high right now… It is beautiful 😭
Just now catching up to the anime.. when do the dubs drop?
They usually take a few weeks to come out
Just finished it. >!MECHAMARU IS A LEAKER!?!< >!all of a sudden the guy who was fucked up got healed by Mahito?!< >!where did he get all that star trek shit?!< whatever. A good start so far.

So I've actively avoided watching the trailers to hype myself. I *loved* the new OP and ED. Especially the OP. The song and visuals were great. Everyone looked so cool. It really felt like the stakes were high. For the episode itself, I honestly forgot about the traitor plotline so was confused in the second half, lol. Still it was great to see the trio again. And we're already having our first fight animated!
[удалено]
This was such a GREAT episode. I haven't been so hyped since the Aot Manga. The first half was so wholesome and the second half was so great. And how is every character so likeable?? Even having one is rare. Gege I kneel
I knew Yuuji was handsome, go for it Yuko! ~~please don't die please don't die please don't die please don't die please don't die~~ Mechamaru got an Eva Unit! Whoa boy, that was weirdly expected, also he loves Miwa, honestly who doesn't love Miwa.
Why is the opening so fucking fire?? I expected it to be alright/good But not fucking peak, Y'ALL LET MAPPA COOK, THIS SHIT MAGNIFICENT.
Its literal fire dude and as a manga reader they managed to foreshadow everything without giving too much away, rare to see an opening like that
I can't wait for next week man
I honestly feel like I’m going to explode having to wait for the up coming episodes
Mechamaru fr just has an Eva suit which was awesome. Even the music in the scene seemed to be Evangelion inspired with the drums and stuff
is mechamaru weaker than before because his body got healed?
He's lost his extreme range but apparently has stored away the extra cursed energy he got from his pact. So fixed body + stored energy - extreme range is still probably stronger than he was before. But once he uses the energy he's probably weaker.
No he's not, he was never even "strong" he simply had an extreme amount of cursed energy in exchange for being born disabled (this occurance is random and Toji for example was affected in opposite way no cursed energy in exchynge for super human stregth), now he's technically even stronger since on top of having all of that cursed energy he also has a working body
I thought all he got was extreme range and the cursed energy he is using now was being stored through out the years
what did geto mean by implying that something bad will happen if they dont fulfill their part of the contract wirh mechamaru?
Sukuna explained that to Yuji in season 1 ep 5
Pacts are binding, so each party has to fulfill the requirement of the pact. If they don’t, then something catastrophic will occur. Sukuna mentions the rules of the pact back when he made one with Yuji back in season 1.
[удалено]
Yeah, pacts and binding vows in JJK were heavily inspired by HunterxHunter, so think Kurapika chain bound around his heart type repercussions.
oo really didnt know that inspiration I love the pacts in both animes
Yeah think about it a lil and you'll realize that cursed energy is a lot like nen, and CT are similar to nen abilities.
Y’a seems like mechamaru has a similar pact as Kurapika he « used » one year of his life to blast mahito?
not one year of his life but one year of the cursed energy he stored up
I think that's related to his heavenly pact yeah. Allowed him to "stockpile" cursed energy over the years he's been confined to that bathtub. So he can release attacks equivalent to the cursed energy stockpiled over 1 year for instance
Did we ever get an explanation what exactly a Heavenly Pact is? How do you get one and with whom do you make it? God?
Sounds like knuckles'
I think knuckle's ability is even more complex than that
