THE MOST ANNOYING VILLAIN IN ANIME (Back & Forth) 

“YOU DON’T HAVE TO YELL! I CAN HEAR YOU, ITADORI YUJI!!!!” Mahito is reaching Naraku levels of hate, the dude is just such a magnificent bastard that he lights up every scene he’s in

Mahito is the exact equivalent to Kid Buu. Child like behavior, ridiculous powers and just evil. 😂😂

The real hate in JJK is cause Gege stay be killing somebody's favourite character. Gege looking at that Popularity list like a hit list. He even merced his own favourite character like it was nothing 😭

tbh curses like mahito are the jujutsu sorcerer of curses mahito would kill a human the same way sorcerers would exorcize a curse

Idk whoever said “how is Itadori a dog and don’t win the fights?” Nigga… Yuuji anime wise just started being a sorcerer. And I mean he’s probably still 4 months in timeline wise. Literally EVERYONE else knows their ability and how to effeciently use it. Itadori is still pushing those niggas to their limits. That’s how he’s a dog.

Love these live B&F's. Could listen for hours tbh

Tony a W for not spoiling that mahito shit I read manga too 😂

In jujutsu kaisen curses are more of a natural disaster. Mahito actions are evil but that’s just him he was born out of human hatred. So he doesn’t view himself as evil

The thing is JJK really is that deep IF YOU WANT IT TO BE. A lot of themes and messaging just aren’t thrown in your face but it is there if you want to dive deep into those things. And if you don’t want to do that and focus strictly on the boxing, you can damn sure do that too. That’s why I love this series. Niggas that try and down play it instead of just saying “I don’t enjoy it” are deadass just hating.

Naruto vs pain fight slander was crazy, especially after talking about how people complained about jjk's animation style lol. also how are cursed spirits not evil? 🤣😂 appreciate the convo

Mahito making fun of Junpei using a sockpuppet-like hand gotta be the most demontime shit I've ever seen a villain do in anime. Even Orochimaru wasn't that savage.

I can’t say who else is up there with Yuta without spoiling the boys 😢

Gojo whooped Jogo ass so bad that I thought he was trash 😂😂😂

The best thing about this Back and Forth is it wasn't planned. They streamed for like 6 hours before this. This shows they need more back and forth

I’m glad that even if he can’t get into it, Mark acknowledges just how fucking good of a writer is Araki is with Jojo’s. Like even before Part 7(without a doubt his best written stuff), the man can cook Writers and directors like Araki, Fujimoto, Hideo Kojima, Yoko Taro, Sam Lake, etc. are really important because they’re guaranteed to shake some shit up and think outside the box EVERY TIME they decide to drop

Mahito popping Nobara's eyeball had me rolling 😂 Good on the author for not being scared to kill characters

The reason JJK has amazing explanation is because It's confirmed that the more your explain your Ability/domain or any technique it instantly becomes even stronger

mahito's cursed technique is so fcking creepy it makes the character 10x more wicked

These vids are legit straight good vibes. Y’all are such a w group bro

Bro the gap is so big it's like Gojo is from a whole different anime than everyone else

Mahito is definitely evil, it’s just the irony is that he’s made from the evil that is humans. Whether he believes he’s evil or not, curses may feel attacked but they’re killing innocent people and sorcerers remove those curses it’s just the way it is.

These live back and forth videos are carrying my 2023 frrrrrrr. Im so excited for the next one.

Mahito is straight 🔥 always on demon time

Tony is always welcome on the stream

RIP Toriyama 🙏🏽

Can’t wait until Tony and TDC chemistry becomes perfect. Within the space of this video the synergy was improving like crazy 😂

I agree jjk does give me or remind me of the emotion I use to get when watching anime growing up, which is the reason I fell in love with anime. The scene when they shoot the vessel was so crazy I haven’t felt that way for a anime in so long!

I wish I enjoyed JJK like everyone else. As cold as the choreography for the fights are, I can't find myself to care or be emotionally invested in anyone.

I hear y'all about the actual episode of G5. But the actual FEELING it brought watching it was crazy. I was smiling the whole time. Peak joy. But yeah the reuses animations took away from how dope the actual episode was.

Yuji is on straight rock lee timing. “Meet me on the street with these 👊🏾”

It's nothing more entertaining than hearing people talk about shit they love

Back and forth literally the best series

Im happy yall watched Blue Eye Samurai and giving it the attention it deserves. If people dont support this show it won't get a season 2.

RDC finally talking about JJK?! Locked in 😤

43:02 To sum it up, Promised Neverland season 2 was basically promotion to the manga. That's how I saw it and decided to read the manga. They went through over 100 manga chapters in a 2 minute slideshow in the last episode.

Japan is always gonna be the primary target audience. Doesn't matter how well the anime/manga does anywhere else, it's all secondary on the list of priorities for them

JJK’s power system’s intricacy is second only to Hunter X Hunter

tony is baked asf😂

I’m trying to get to it gyatdamn 😂😂 Lee kills me. He speaks so gently when he raises his voice

Tony has to remember that Yujis strength isn’t random his genetics stem from kenjaku and a blood line relative to sakunas. Hence why he has a similar facial structure and pink hair as well. he’s only a year 1 sorcerer. a Y1 with a body durable enough and raw strength great enough to keep up with a perfect HR user

I love how this near hour long video starts with “Aye real quick..” 😂

The next two episodes of jjk are going to be amazing

Yeah the battles and fights in jjk are so in depth its crazy thats why the battles are so fun and invested

The reason Tengen’s fight had to come first is cus it shows how some hashira are on a different level. Like these two made light work of higher ranked kizuki cus they’re just like that

This man Mark really said Araki is a good writer I just don't fuck with what he writes😂

Jjk is setting the tone for anime that is about to be amazing. One just came out with a manga that is amazing and Sakamoto Days is up next.

Ik it's too late for this but I do wanna clear up some things about Daima. Its only 2.5 original arcs in the manga after 5 years and it's not really that good. The amount of content that is out in the manga is about enough for 24 episodes or 6months of weekly content (JJK S2 for perspective) before they have to do another break for who knows how long. Daima exists to have something in between Super Hero and the next film. It's a web series and not a TV series meaning they have a little more freedom, behind the scenes the production staff is some of the best at Toei and the reasoning for them being kids is so they cant go crazy with the powers and have to actually fight with their hands. This show is going to be an animation flex full of fight scenes and new places we've never seen before. Toriyama was already a multi millionaire before he ever drew the first chapter of Dragon Ball, so he's definitely not doing it for the bag and moreso because he wants to tell a new story. so far everything he has worked closely on has been really good. Ik it's still gonna be people that aren't tryna hear all this and still gonna hate but it's gonna be live and dare I say better than the first season of super. Also Toriyama not writing the Super manga. He gives notes and Toyotaro takes them and makes his story based off it. That's why there was so many differences from the anime. Even in the Super Hero recap

I think what killed gear 5 is that everyone compared it to super saiyan 1 so the expectation was at an all time high and it didn’t hit the way I think it should’ve

JJK have me waiting for the next episode every Thursday. Only Naruto made me feel that way.

For anyone saying JJK is just fights read this if you have time. JJK is actually a very complex story that can actually be difficult to wrap your head around sometimes. The reader does have to actually dig in order to understand what the hell a lot of stuff means or why its relevant for the themes of JJK. To start with the most simple and obvious theme, yet often forgot about by some and that is death. Death is a huge theme in JJK. JJK is about coming to terms with yourself and valuing yourself. Yuji's grandpa taught Yuji to respect others so that he can die surrounded by others on his deathbed. It is constantly said that no sorcerer dies without regrets in the series and that is because no sorcerer is able to take hold of their inner desires and accept themselves. Death is a huge theme within JJK not because Gege Akutumi wanted to write a story with an abundance of stakes and consequences (which actually is a plus for the series as these consequences drive the characters to destinations that give a certain richness to the series' themes), but the reason for why death is such a prominent theme within JJK is because Gege wishes to highlight life and how precious it is. JJK is one of the most gut wrenching, yet beautiful stories I've ever read. The more you go through JJK the more you notice a fascinating trend. That trend is that the "selfish" people, which are often the villains, are constantly rewarded by the story. If you have a strong sense of self and understanding of what it is that makes you you, the world of JJK will reward you time and time again. You can do heinous shit like Sukuna, but if you have a strong sense of self, the narrative aligns with your ideals. On the flip side, the selfless are constantly punished over and over again. If you notice, the "good side" has almost never caught a real W and that maintains all the way through to where we are in the manga, barring one character. Perhaps the most interesting thing about JJK to me is that it is a postmodernist story, which means it has a ton and I mean a ton of meta themes all throughout the story. What Gege Akutami has managed to do with JJK is essentially blur the lines between fiction and reality. This may seem crazy and bullshit to some, but it absolutely holds validity within JJK. A postmodernist story is one that basically throws out the idea of fact or objective truth. The world of JJK seems simple, it's just japan and curses and sorcerers inhabit it right? Well the more you think about it and get to the root of what these characters represent, the more you realize that the world of JJK seems off, almost like it doesn't feel like a story, it almost feels real in a way, like you can't really imagine a human making something like this. Sukuna is the biggest example as to why JJK is a postmodernist story. Essentially, Gege has written Sukuna in a way that his character is completely immune to the readers perception or interpretation of him. When experiencing a story how you perceive a character is what that character becomes. Pretty much, the reader's mind defines the story and its world. Well, Sukuna is not under the control of the reader in this same way with how he's written. Your perception of Sukuna cannot define him in any way. Sure, you can have your thoughts about him, but it doesn't change who he is, similar to real person. Sukuna has an agency over himself and the world of JJK that I've never seen before and it goes beyond simply being strong. In a weird way Sukuna is above the story itself, the story bends the knee to Sukuna and serves him and does whatever Sukuna wants. The narrator herself doesn't even fully understand Sukuna. Sukuna is even above you, as the reader/watcher. Which is actually really weird, but also fascinating to think about. A really interesting idea that I've seen people discuss is that Sukuna isn't a fictional character made by Gege Akutami, moreso the Sukuna we see in JJK is the mythological legend "Ryomen Sukuna". This legend was grabbed and dropped within the pages of JJK and now that legend has free will to do whatever he wants with the characters and world Gege created. A video by Radman fully delves into this much better than I can in a youtube comment, but the video features HEAVY spoilers for the manga, so don't watch it if you not caught up. There's also the idea or theory that the narrator herself will play a role in the story because of the fact that the narrator within JJK is an unreliable narrator which is often seen with postmoderism. JJK is a thematic masterpiece, that presents itself as a battle shonen.

The animation in the fight between Jogo and Sukana was some of the best animation I’ve ever seen

This shit mean everything to me - Mark Phillips

Best back and forth, Tony got valid points and we need more of him on these mfs

Ironic that Akira just passed 😭🫡

YOOOOO TONY IN THE CUT!? I remember Tony doing a small vid with Mark in it and now a Back&Forth!? LETS GOOO

Tony really started talking about shit from the manga like it was his own thought process 💀

Envy, Perospero, Pitou, Gin Ichimaru, and Zancrow are a few that come to mind.

Alot of the power system is derived from HxH. Like the risk and binding vow stuff.

Tony funny as hell 4:10 "NONE OF THE HANDS SIGNS JUST...."

Naruto vs pain animation type scenes just get me hype cuz I think of it as the fight being so crazy and characters moving so outlandish that it can’t be animated normally lol

Tony was about to get the good Ole RDC jumping because he likes Mahito

Cursed Spirits are for sure evil lol

Bro on the left eating his words now "I don't like yuji powers" Yuji pulls up with the shrine

anyone else gotta rewatch certain shows to get ready for new seasons or show like blue exorcist i forgot the entire show or like when the new bleach series came out i had to rewatch the last couple seasons of bleach to refresh my mind but shows like naruto and one piece have a staple in my mind only two shoes to ever make me tear up and almost cry fr😂😂

The person y’all talking about her death was instant the anime slowed it down for viewers and she had to be killed because not only was she a direct counter for mahito she was also a counter for geto since the ability attacks the soul similar to Yuji if you let them grow and get stronger they become a bigger problem for special grades

Most of the jjk cast are dawgsss. Doesnt matter if they're outmatched indefinitely they are ready to throw hands. Yuuji, Nobara, Megumi, Panda, Maki, Todo, mechamaru literally all of them never backed down from a fight even if they were most likely going to lose. Thats not even the entire list.

Tony was sensing spiritual pressure on tik tok and now this W Storyline

Need more Tony in the back and forths

Yo love the anime content but can you guys talk about Bleach TYBW pls

I can’t wait for hakari to be introduced man

Yooo, who does the Art for your Dark Lights!? It looks good.

22:04 lmfao this nigga hilarious, mark side eyeing was perfect too 😂

Mark has been coughing on streams for a while now 😂

Jjk brings that naruto feeling back in terms of likeable characters great boxing and high stakes like season 1 of naruto you thought it was up for anybody besides naruto and sasuke fr jjk does the same thing any given time somebody stronger can pop out of nowhere and take a character out and you feel emotionally attached cuz you know somebody can die unlike a one piece where you see people go through struggles but you know none of the straw hats ever taking a true L fr

Cleanest discussion

love this Tony x rdc collab

two blue actually has me feeling like how shippuden had me feeling back in the day that shit fire

Loved seeing all the tower of god representation in the chat today good work 🤝

Pain fight animation was mad tuff definitely for the time it came out

That nigga Mahito was having an internal monologue while getting jumped 💀

the hiori part was the same in the manga but it didn't feel like it because most people just skipped that part lol

Nah, its cause Yuji literally built different

TONY BACKIN UP BRAWLHALLA GANG 🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽

54:05 what’s up with mark and laughing at anything dealing with grandmas 😂

Honestly I love Mahito. Such an amazing villain 🥰

I agree with his problems with the gear 5 episode 1. But I think that it was def made up for with the heart beat episode and def before the last punch. 🗣️🗣️

After chapter 8 or so of kagurabachi it turns up even tho there’s only like 3-4 chapters after but hyped for more of it

14:51 People who talk about this scene never acknowledge the fact that pain is literally a rotting corpse being held up by sticks. He's a puppet, and so the animator - who is a legend in the scene by the way - animated him like a puppet. It's perfect.

Y’all do know DAIMA is written by Toriyama himself right? In super he did just provide like cliff notes for the story and wasn’t as involved so no argument there but it still has enjoyable moments, it’s more fanservice for OG dragon ball viewers in the first half.

* Possibly Spoilers Pretty sure Itadori's Divergent Fist is not his cursed technique. It is just putting cursed energy around his fists along with sukuna buff. Itadori doesn't truly have a technique yet, recently people started to think he could awaken them soon.

Zach Bell paved the way for new anime to pull out a book

Mark: *Bombastic side-eye*

I agree it’s kinda like American are obsessed with sword fights cause people never use to see them

Before I even watch the video Naraku and Orochimaru gotta be talked about

That pain episode has inspired so many young animators who's work we are watching in jjk today and many other anime shows, the hairy dude and anyone who thinks the animation in that Pain episode is bad are objectively wrong. The Sakuna vs Mohorage episode has very similar animation to the pain episode, where characters go out of model to show the chaotic insanity of the battle which happens a lot in the Sakuna v Mohorage episode as well. The Pain episode is the blueprint of this type of high scale destructive battles and how it should be done. It is simply artistic/stylistic animation that not all people can comprehend

Itadori don't even have a real cursed technique...all hands

People be forgetting Mahito is a literal child he's roughly 7 months old right now that's why he's so goofy

mark still coughing bruh?

dudes really sleeping on two blue vortex

Mahito with the Linsanity run lol
