KaijuSloth said: Pretty good episode as usual. Just out of curiosity, are there more series with tournament arcs during which the heroes get attacked by villains? The only other one i can think of on the spot is Fairy Tail and that tournament arc wasn't the best. Usually the tournament arcs are a boring excuse for bringing back forgotten under-powered characters with new super strong abilities. However, the Kyoto Goodwill Event Arc has got to be the best tournament arc i have seen so far. Yes, it's a very common thing to happen in shounen anime. I remember the same thing in Naruto and Boku no Hero Academia. |
| I guess Inumaki can say other things |
| More great action, but it is all just the calm before the storm now that the curses have invaded the event. I assume that the underling curses pose a threat to the students while the top ones go after Gojo and the fingers. I’d also guess that they will try to kidnap Itadori and force feed him fingers to break his hold on Sukuna. |
| Please don't tell me Hanami will be the first villain to die ._. She(?) is the only even remotely interesting and "likeable" one. This episode was pretty good imo. Megumi's summoning is still cool af and Toge is also nice. Villains crashing the tournament arc is nothing new, but I honestly stopped expecting anything unique from JJK by now ^^' |

There's no possible way you can steal my heart I want to drown in this sweet Melancholy |
| Animation still as beautiful, I was expecting CGI water but I was pleasantly surprised |

Villains crashing the tournament arc is nothing new, but I honestly stopped expecting anything unique from JJK by now ^^' Well JJK did start it off using many shounen tropes but they delivered it rather well and even flipped some cliches on its head so im not complaining but JJK will eventually become pretty unique when season 2 and 3 comes out. Ngl season 1 has the boringest arcs of jjk. Karsaaa said: Fushiguro vs Noritoshi was a great fight. Welp looks like Noritoshi's friends are here to wreak havoc. I'm surprised that the Principle uses an Electric Guitar to fight curse spirits. They're not noritoshi's friends tho watchu mean? |
| Now that I think about it Hanami stole the spotlight, but Kamo was pretty interesting as well. He's basically the opposite of Mai and Maki. The rightful Kamo heir was born as useless, so he's a bastard who inherited the Blood Manipulation brought into the Kamo clan. He relates to Megumi who also inherited the technique but wasn't the rightful heir. Megumi tries to differentiate himself from Kamo by saying he only believes in his conscious but he doesn't know Kamo is only pretending to be the perfect heir and is driven by his own conscious to protect his mother. Ironically proving that they are the same. |
| Miwa earn more and more a place in my coeur. Gojou making fun of the principal is always on time. and his "drawings" (not to say lovely scribbles lmao) from the curse report made my day JJK logic: if a character has a covered/closed body part, it is better to be careful when releasing it Juju Stroll stand! never disappoints |
| Damn, this was defo a sakuga feast, MAPPA doing Lord's work here.. Also Inumaki and Megumi looking real hot here, like were all the guys such ikemen in the manga? I never thought about it until the adaptation lmao The juju sanpos are fr every week's highlight, with everything that happened in the manga, I would have never thought I'd still end up shipping Hanami and Jogo ffs |
| Great episode as always. Fushigoro's fight was awesome, loved the animation there and the water attack was especially very nice looking with the more painted style. The curses invaded and decided to screw up the whole tournament cause why wouldn't they? Initially I thought their plan was to go for Satoru and render him unable to act in some way like they mentioned a couple episodes ago but I guess if they just prevent him from getting to the action in the first place then they've achieved the same objective. Somehow I assumed that would involve some kind of fight or trap to catch Satoru. Is Mahito gonna go straight for Yuuji? The students can't even land a scratch on Hanami, Inumaki seems to be the only one who was capable of binding him. Speaking of which, it was really cool to finally see him in action. The post credit skit was hilarious. xD Also, an electric guitar was the last thing I expected the old man to be carrying. |
| Totally wild, and totally love it. Apart from one moment. The old geezer in charge of everything trying to kill MC enters combat for the better protection of his students and he has a guitar in his briefcase. Depending on how future scenes pan out this might possibly be the most lame thing I've seen in the last 12 months. |
To have you, Id give a billion lives A-Chan best girl |
| LOL at them specifically making a barrier that is anti-Gojou since they all know he is just tooo strong for them. xD Inumaki's voice just got me chills I felt like his curse runs through me as well. I love Megumi, yesI love him so much he is just little bit away making to my faves list. |
| This anime has the coolest previews in the history of previews. I need eye bleach after watching that Juju stroll. Also, the old fart was the guitar player in the OP??? Nani!? That's the biggest shock of this anime so far. |
| If you read Eleceed you're automatically my friend. |
| Each episode is better than the last one. Fushiguro vs Noritoshi, was a final moments with all respect, was a great Water Breathing meet Kekkai Sensen. I hope that will be a good focus on the Gakuganji fight, after he took out his weapon, my opinion of him gone to negative to positive faster than a jet. Power of music for the win. |

| Looks like the Exchange Event is over and shit is about to go down. It's weird to say but I actually like Hanami despite it being a cursed Spirit; it doesn't have the same malice as Mahito or Jogo and has a legit reason for wanting humans gone.... and it's also pretty badass haha |

| Megumi looked really cool in this episode, he was both super chill and also ready to snap. I think the weapon he's got were probably hidden in his shadows since in episode 8(?) he stuck his hand into the shadow when they were talking about carrying the weapons... Miwa was adorable and Inumaki really showed off his powers here. I wish he could have faced off the regular cursed spirit before hanami showed up but anyway... i wonder why gojo didn't get to the barrier quickly and ran instead. he could've done what he did in ep 7 with yuji right? but maybe the veil was already up and the dark sphere was just a visual effect that came after idk. Hyped for the next ep and the animation was great in this ep too! |
| Damn, that old geezer rocking out the electric guitar caught me off guard, haha. So it was him at the end of the opening song with the guitar solo all along! Really dope animation, constant action and tension in the last few episodes and now even more hype for the upcoming battles! Can't wait! |
| Great episode, this anime gets better and better after each episode. I love Inumaki's cursed speech, it sound very cool every time he uses it. I didn't expect that old geezer to pull out an electric guitar lmao, that caught me off guard, that caught me off guard xD. Also, this episodes Juju Stroll was great, can't wait for ep 19 to come out! |
| This episode was great, but I do prefer the last one with the girls :p Toge got himself some free sleeping ASMR in the middle of it all, but I suppose he needed to make sure Miwa was safe. I love that Toge calls Gojou tuna with mayo, thats what the subtitle people wrote anyway. It seems there are differing opinions on Yoshinobu bringing out that guitar, it reminded me of Present Mic from BNHA. |
| Ryuk is somewhat relatable |
| Ya makes sense that the cursed spirit thing from the OP would eventually show up and crash the party. I guess we got to see basically everyone fight in some capacity so makes sense that it is now. |

IamVermillion said: Toge got himself some free sleeping ASMR in the middle of it all, but I suppose he needed to make sure Miwa was safe. He didn't do it to keep her safe. He did it to eliminate her from the competition AnimeNerd99 said: So is the technique Megumi used the one that was hinted at before, during the fights with Sukuna a Todou? Or have we yet to see that? We have yet to see the sukuna one but the toudou one is probably the elephant cause i doubt he'd use THAT against a fellow jujutsu student SkyFullOfStars said: i wonder why gojo didn't get to the barrier quickly and ran instead. he could've done what he did in ep 7 with yuji right? but maybe the veil was already up and the dark sphere was just a visual effect that came after idk. Indeed the veil is already up so it's too late. And gojo didn't teleport like he did in episode 7 cause there are prerequisites that must be met in order for him to do that. TheOneOfSeven said: it happened during a forest training competition between the 2 class. Not a tournament, but still some kind of competition.DsMasterBR said: The villain attack in BNHA didn't happen in the middle of the tournament, it was like afterwards.Yes, it's a very common thing to happen in shounen anime.

| I thought we would get Inumaki vs Hanami one on one language battle. But this is fine too. So it's a unified front against the SSS-tier curse. Damn Hanami giving the planetary chill vibes. Also how the hell did Gramps end up with a guitar for battle. XD |
| When someone asks me why I like anime, I'd say Just Because. |
| The finale of the Goodwill event arc is coming up, and manga readers know exactly what that means: |
We don't know what kind of people we truly are until the moment before our deaths. As death comes to embrace you, you will realise what you are. That's what death is, don't you think? ------------------------------------ Itachi Uchiha |
| Wasn't expecting the arc to end like this but I'm glad it ended off in a unique way. Hanami seems like presence and I'm hyped for next week. |
ManWild |
| @ttcchen I meant that Toge may have listened in afterwards to take proper responsibility, and make sure Miwa wouldn't die due to his actions. |
| Ryuk is somewhat relatable |
| Kamo vs Megumi is here! One of the most heated battles in this arc, Kamo's blood manipulation is explained really well! Aw, Miwa XD got her sword taken away. Toge called! He is using Mech's phone that Panda gave him delivering it through Black Demon Dog. The old man is cunning as ever. Anime-onlies should definitely check out the manga panel of Hanami coming out of the forest. It was a 2-page spread and was definitely shocking and creepy. Mahito is her too! And with Juuzo(I think that is his name) Kamo was born a bastard, yet he was able to become the head of the family! WOW. Elephant and then Nue! Lets go! Megumi! Great TEacher Gojo XD That vcurtain is just for Gojo! He is that much of a game-changer. The curses and curse users are taking great precautions. The guitarist revealed! XD Hanami spoke! Is that Kurapika's VA? Hanami is getting ready for an attack! What the fuck was that school drama stuff! XD Holy shit, that was hilarious! And then followed by an action-heavy preview too. |

MappaPrefersJJK said: The direction and storyboard not being as good (subjective) as last week episode doesn't mean it's weak Yeah. The direction of this episode was not that good. It was bad even. Their were a few close up shots that were just absurd. Caused mixed feelings for the episode. When you've such amazing things to show but you don't align it in a proper way, it just fails. It was like a badly timed hilarious joke. That, of course, is true for this episode only. I had mixed feelings because the animation of the fight scenes were extremely well and the sound effects never ceased to amaze me. The close combat of Fushigoro with Noritoshi was alright nothing special but when our guy Fushigoro brings out the big guns, man from their on it was just amazing to watch. Inumaki's attacks were so well animated and the sound effects made it unbelievably real. MAPPA what a great job. JJK have set a standard for themselves and being a very popular anime setbacks such as this will cause major criticism. It just explains how hyped the anime is and it is a good thing. Although it's a major problem also as the expectations of the audience is extremely high and most expect nothing but perfection. Appreciation to the animators, directors and the entire workforce that is behind the creation of JJK! |
Hanami's VA is Tanaka, Atsuko! She didn't voice Kurapika but she voiced Konan in Naruto, Lisa Lisa in Jojo, Motoko in Ghost in the Shell, etc |

Man, I hope they show that in the next episode. I was majorly confused about that. The direction of this episode was not at par with the other episodes. They could at least show that in the mid commercial bump time like SnK does with details about the gear, titans, island etc if not dedicating a full scene on it. Hope they don't skip it! |
| Hanami... best waifu? Seriously, the most WTF Juju Stroll till date. Also old geezer Gakuganji pulling out a fucking guitar like... what? xD Nice episode once again. Villains interrupting a tournament arc? How creative but leaving sarcasm aside, it seems things are about to get pretty intense. Not gonna lie, I'm kinda excited for next week. |
