I don't know if you picked up on this detail but in the next episode, they altered the opening. The last scene of Yuji on the train has him crying since it is the episode after Junpei's death. It hit hard the first time I noticed it
I just want to say that whoever decided to put Junpei dressed in Jujutsu uniform in the intro - I hate them for giving me false hope and dancing on my shattered heart’s grave. Rude and uncalled for 😭
The absolute savagery of Mahito and Sukuna both laughing together at Yuji's despair still gives me chills just thinking about it. Sukuna is not Yuji's friend. Mahito, despite having conversations with him and hanging out with him, is not Junpei's friend. They both laugh at the despair and tragedy of those around them.
FR. I was so positive he was gonna live like, who the hell gave me false hope by putting him in the intro 😭. This also made me realize that this anime might actually surprise me.😊
This is really when it hit me just how terrible Mahito is. He gave Junpei hope and what seemed like genuine friendship at the start, but then he took everything he valued from him, and then took his life in the end, all to get what he wanted. The studio also massively messed with everyone by putting Junpei in the intro just for him to die this early on.
I just wanna say that Yuji being capable of damaging Mahito's soul has nothing to do with Divergent Fist. It is because he is aware of the shape of his own soul, due to housing Sukuna's soul within him. Divergent Fist is simply a delayed second hit caused by his cursed energy lagging behind his body, so that question at the end was a bit mistaken.
I will always remeber the first half of s1 of jjk as the anime where the opening fucking lies to you. Showing junpei with yuji and all of his friends just for him to be killed off before he would ever meet them.
To add some clarification. It's not made very clear IF Sukuna could have helped Junpei. Mahito SPECULATES that he just can't because he refused a pact, their whole goal here is to force Yuji into making a pact, and Mahito literally just heard Yuji say "Fix Junpei and I'll agree to ANY demands" and Sukuna refused. The only reason Mahito could think of was that Sukuna doesn't have the ability to heal others. What he DOESN'T know, and what Yuji doesn't know either, is they already HAVE a pact. Sukuna healed Yuji's heart in exchange for making a pact, so Sukuna already got what he wanted, though we don't know the details of his motivations, so he doesn't need Yuji's new offer. He can just laugh and refuse. He doesn't say he CAN'T when refusing the deal, he just says he won't, so that could mean he CAN do it but he won't, or it could be him talking himself up and pretending like maybe he could but he just won't for laughs even though he doesn't have the ability anyway. Whatever it is, the reason he refused the pact is because they already had one, which Mahito wasn't aware of.
It’s still very likely Sukana couldn’t heal Jumpei Manga spoilers kinda We never see him use reverse cursed techniques to heal others, assuming ideal transfiguration is even something that could be healed by reverse cursed technique. The real spoiler no joke turn back now He only made the pact to take Megumi’s soul/cursed technique
@@andrewlynch4126 Spoilers We do see him heal someone else using RCT. He heals Megumi after interrupting his ritual in Shibuya. But it's stated later that you cannot heal those changed by Idle Transfiguration as RCT heals to the shape of the soul.
@@andrewlynch4126 To continue treatment, sure. But just watch the start of the fight and you will see him heal Megumi (who was in a state of suspended death). If Sukuna did not heal him immediately in the ritual then he would have been dead regardless if he had been brought to Shoko.
Did me dirty with the opening making me think that Junpei would join the gang ;-; Also that line "The next words that spilled from my lips, came from so deep within my gut that it nearly made everything I've ever said feel like a lie" goes so hard
My favorite part of yuji calling them both curses when they laugh at him, is that one is a human and the other is a curse made of humans, I sure do wonder if the author is trying to tell us something about human nature
It wasn’t just Mahito, this whole rotten world killed Junpei and his Mom. Junpei was beyond correct, the darker side of human nature did in fact use their malicious hearts to curse them both.
He and his mother were killed by demons not society. Junpei chose hate and isolation and was used by ppl/demons who know that you’re the weakest the more isolated from society you are.
@@forever_noir_2155 the thing is that the "demons" of this universe are born from society's fear and hatred. Mahito is literally the embodiment of society's hatred and malintent towards others. He preyed on Junpei (the weakened and downtrodden) because that is what society's dark side does too. It was society who created the 2 kinds of monsters that brutally abused Junpei, to death in the end. One the human kind (his school bullies, which is a real thing that has happened and happens in our reality) and the other the supernatural kind (clearly unique to this universe, but still canonically birthed by society). And it was society also who turned a blind eye to said abuse. And only when one of the abusers perished was when a tiny group within said society actually stepped in, but they didn't even do it for Junpei in the first place, which only adds more to the point. If you make a bomb and the bomb explodes you don't get to say that it was only the bomb's fault. Same here. The individual abusers are still bad and at fault (and more than anyone else, that's why IRL those are the ones that get judged), but society, even if done by proxy, is ultimately at fault and responsible too.
thats a mistranslation its supposed to say sukunas finger is a deadly toxin. aka if yuji can survive that he can survive a newly formed sorcerer's poison no problem
@pj_spirit He split his soul into his twenty fingers and they became cursed objects. He isn't a curse because he can use RCT. RCT kills curses on impact as it is the opposite of what makes a curse a curse, RCT obliterates curses.
@@KrayzieStiles Ok, and? He incarnated into Yuji's physical body so he doesn't have the body of a curse. Other curses consume curses to get stronger. How do we know that? It's literally the inciting incident of chapter one. A curse is trying to eat the curse that is imbued in Sukuna's finger. What's the curse in his finger? Him.
@@pj_spirit and what happens to curses that eat a finger. They become 'Finger Bearers'. Did you read the culling games? All of those sorcerers that incarnated are what then? Not sorcerers? Seems to me that when that certain sorcerer made those pacts with sorcerers throughout the past he took their souls and put them into cursed objects. But Sukuna was smart and split his soul into 20, each one it's own contingency plan in case someone figured out a way to destroy the fingers before someone could consume them.
@@pj_spirit On season 2, when Sukuna fights with Mahoraga, Mahoraga atacts him with a sword full of positive energy, a weapon that guarantees damage to curses cause they are formed by pure negstive energy, and sukuna himself, after blocking the atack with ease says that if he was a curse spirit, he sure would've been damaged by the blade. Sukuna is a reincarnated sorcerer, not a curse.
the way i refused to believe junpei died for the longest time bc the freaking opening had him in it and i felt for him so bad i wanted hurt/comfort not this
I know i’m a bit ahead of the series in terms of this question but i was wondering what your plans were for season 2 episode 17? As you may be aware brutal time constraints that the animators worked through during the production of season 2 lead to multiple episodes being released in an “unfinished” state. 2x17 suffers the most from these time constraints, but the blu ray version released later on shows the animators full and completed vision for the episode. Personally, I believe that both versions are brilliant in their own way and worth reacting to, so I was wondering if you’d swap to blu ray for that episode or continue with the original version?
This has been brought up a few times on Patreon. The thing is season 2's blu ray doesn't seem to have a dub version. They could always watch the completed version of episode 17 after the original if the demand is high enough.
How in the hell are people saying the dub has no emotion? Am I missing something because I can clearly tell how emotional and upset Junpei and Itadori are over what is happening. Can someone please explain it to me?
For anyone who's seen Naruto, or anime with a similar premise, this show does such a good job of subverting your expectations about how similar Yuji's relationship with Sukuna is to Naruto's relationship with the 9 tailed fox. You'd expect the protagonist, in times of serious danger and stress, to be able to call on the demon possessing them, to negotiate to use their power, and that they'll be eminently reasonable about it. There's danger they'll take over in the exchange, sure, but the tradeoff is the raw power the protagonist gets from being possessed by them. NOT here. Sukuna is nothing but a danger and a liability in combat. He cares much more about doing maximum harm and suffering than he does about getting some material advantage. He's not desperate to get the fingers assembled like the 9 tails would be to get a foothold over Naruto and weaken his seal, Yuji hasn't and won't earn his begrudging respect, surrender, and cooperation, he's just as malicious and cruel as Mahito, moreso even.
I would love to see these two react to 'Yu Yu Hakusho' after My Hero Academia. (The latter has more episodes, and it's still ongoing. Plus, if they're looking for a dark Shounen anime like Jujutsu Kaisen. Then this would be the perfect choice.)
0:33 and poison prick him before that 1:40 aw okay you did forget, from 1x4 2:51 even if it's not gonna happen... _put your arm out?_ 6:09 "If it were my mom, I'd probably lose control (of emotions?) and end up hating you (Mahito)" 6:40 that's where they always open (oh, you mean if people can see it?) 23:22 oh, never saw thatkind of game before?
“The next words that spilled out of my mouth came from so deep within my gut that they almost made everything else I’ve said in my life feel like a lie. ‘I’m going to kill you.’” Just insane how raw this line is. We talk about Kendrick showing off a new level of hating, but Yuji was on it in 2018
Look many people may get mad and trash you but I'll thank you for watching the dub. Sure I've watched this first season in both but it's a better reaction if you can understand the language being spoken and don't miss dope AF animation cuz ur staring at subtitles the whole time. Thank you both and Letts get it can't wait for season two

The part that hurts more is that Yuji is crying before closing his eyes again at the end of the opening after Junpei is gone.

it gets worse later on in the manga
I laughed too. Edgy? Maybe. I don't know why but JJK is the only manga/anime where I love to see the MC suffer.

17:35 got me
Ichijis voice is so insanely different in the dub, I got whiplash
The mark in his eyes is also the eyes of the sukuna.
If you go back to season 1 he don't have that mark in his cheek
im just gonna said this "This is just the beginning".
Remember when Kenny said he’d stop adjusting Montana’s Mic, did that ever happen🤣🤣

Just a Quick Reminder that Yuji Itadori is voiced by Adam McArthur aka Marco Diaz from Star vs the Forces of Evil
That's why he sounded so familiar

I….i don’t know how to feel about about that
Woahhh thats so cool my fav show when i was younger and one of my fav shows now!
Oh god, the younger generation are at the point where they don't know what "pop-up-pirate" is. It's so cooked for us now, WE'RE OLD FELLAS

when Yuji goes off it is the most epic and terrifying thing and my favorite thing
This episode got me **hooked** on this anime. I guess you could say i already was being 12 episodes in lol but still
That was brutal and sad. Junpei deserved better 😭
I just made the realization that Nanami uses a meat cleaver.
19:18 Saw this somewhere but essentially "The Jester thought himself equal to the King" when they shared a laugh
The real jujustsu kaisen begins
This beginning of Jujutsu reminded me so much of Bleach, it's dark, it's emotional, it's great!
I forgot how good this episode was! Love the reaction! You guys are amazing! 😃
the way i refused to believe junpei died for the longest time bc the freaking opening had him in it and i felt for him so bad i wanted hurt/comfort not this

Can we start a counter of all the times Kenny has told Montana she was wrong when she wasn’t🤣
It's probably because of the movement of the mouth but junpei doesn't say "help me" in the sub. He says "nande?" "Yuji ... Why?"
All you need is Hell’s paradise for the dark triad.
The next time we'll see one of the greatest anime jumpings of all time!

The moral of this episode is never trust Gege
Truer words have never been spoken.
17:35 we had the same thought😭

Yuji doesn’t have a technique he’s simply using curse energy and punching
I forgot how good this show is. Please watch Doctor Who next.
ahhh yes the first ep where we learn that JJK is in fact not that kind of show
Itadori is immune to poisen, there is a reason for this(the reason he was born ) but i won't spoil it.
5:42 he's built different, only if they know 💀💀
If you guys ever watch hunter x hunter you’ll love and cry that show till the very end

Will you guys do frieren?
Nah sukuna can heal others with reverse curse technique he just simply doesn’t like itadori

Why in dub this is so much better in sub
cringe dub
mahito japanese va clears the entire english cast
gojo gets a pass
I must prefer to japanese voice actors because is more emotional....
Why do you guys not watch the sub? :p The dub for JJK just not as good as other dubs :p
Holy! The dub surprisingly is very bad 😅
Wow the dub is just so bad, I'm sorry. Too cringey. The sub has far far more emotion in the voice acting, it's legendary.
boring DUB CERO Emotion at all with this version.
Please explain to me how there is zero emotion.
Fun fact yuji ct is called left right goodnight
