The directing for this season has been nothing short of insane! Not just the fight choreography and the sakuga but the whole visual language of it all has been so cinematic!
It's not an understatement to say that they not only met but completely CRUSHED my expectations for this fight. My God this was amazing. Spectacular. You love to see it.
@@alexandersveryown4760 Nah seriously. The fact that they managed to surpass the already very high expectations people had for this fight is honestly a testament to just how hard everyone in that studio has been working. I hope they see the amazing feedback cause they deserve it.
One of the best things about this fight is how brutal and personal it is with both fighters having moments where they could have retreated or given up and were simply like "no, more fists". Choso probably could have just walked out of the bathroom, but he was like "nope, kill you with these fists". Itadori could have given up like he did against the finger curse in season 1 but was like "no, I don't have to be the MC, just gotta put this guy down". Very pleased with this adaption of one of my favorite fights in the manga.
I was so moved with how well they adapted Yuji Vs Choso. I saw some people in the anime community thinking this fight would be an absolute wash and that Choso wasn't anything special. Glad they got to see my boy in action this week. He put in that work. Had it not been for Mechamaru's quick thinking, Yuji would've been in trouble. In fact, even with some of his bigger moves unusable thanks to the water, Choso STILL managed to achieve the W. Not just that, people seem to think Sukuna is ready to defend Yuji at all times. But we see in this episode, he was just disappointed in how Yuji lost to an opponent Sukuna personally deemed weak. And was prepared to go back to vibing until he saw Choso freak out. Sukuna is not Yuji's ally. He is not his friend. And he is not some trump card to save the day either. After all, even if he loses Yuji, he still has several fingers that exist in the world. The two girls Geto saved have approached the unconscious Yuji. And Choso has been greeted with a memory of something that never happened. Yuji, sitting at a table and feeding him while calling him brother. How bizarre.
Japanese culture is kinda wild because they take pride in working hard. A lot of people would leave MAPPA if they wanted to and chances are they going to the exact same situation at most animation studios if they did.
@@johkerx9107yeah I’m aware how difficult that would be I mean we’re talking about changing Japanese culture as a whole, revamping the WHOLE industry and the time and money it would take to do that is wild. We legit might get maybe 2-3 anime a year from each studio a year if they weren’t worked to the bone every season. Hopeful tho
They used the exact same song (except the instrumental this time) and did the exact same back and forth thing they did in Season 1 when Yuji was fighting against Choso's brothers with Nobara! The callback is immaculate!!
Great vid I just wanna explain Sukuna isn’t like kurama. He literally can’t switch out with yuji unless yuji gives his permission or allows him too even if yuji dies or is about to. Sukuna can’t switch because he can’t control yuji, essentially Sukuna closed his eyes there because he accepted death he thought choso would kill yuji, which would also kill him too because if Yuji dies so does Sukuna(temporarily since there are other fingers out there) But choso didn’t kill yuji that’s why sukuna said “hmmmmm”
Shout out to the Mappa animators hope y’all get a raise and a good break thank you for your hard work (damn I love this episode but feel sorry for the animators)
Choso is only few months old and he already does this much damage.. it's understandable for Yuji to lose because he's barely grade 1, just recommended and he just fought a special grade 1 v 1... I hope Choso will grow on people more later. He's my second favorite character from jjk. They did my boy justice with this season.
Best Episode of this Arc so far easily that fight went incredibly hard. The blue light contrast with red blood look so good. This is my most favourite action scene in the series so far.
What a goated episode, this just reinforces that they did the right shit with the direction of S2 imo. Don't worry if you're confused after the end with Choso, it'll get explained with time. For now it's just as simple as for some reason he gained a memory of Yuji being with his brothers in the past, and seemingly also being their brother or something. It'll all come to light eventually
They CRUSHED it this episode. It was AMAZING. Animators and director killed it. Just something to remind you: there are 9 Cursed Wombs: Death Paintings created by Kamo Noritoshi, the most repugnant sorcerer in history, but it was only 1 thru 3 (Choso, Esou, Kechizu) were strong enough to be Special Grades, clearly Choso the strongest of all. Also, in s01e24 when Yuji is about to land his last blow on Esou he whispers “I’m sorry”, and after Esou dies, Yuji thinks “It hurt”, reminds me of how when Yuji tried to black flash Choso and he couldn’t and thought “what was that response I felt?”. Also it wasn’t showed in your reaction, but after Choso misses his final punch, that would’ve kill Yuji, and he gets up, the initial hole in the wall shapes a heart. Great reaction as always!
Great reaction!! When you said you never seen the main Character get beat haha I’m soo glad y’all said Goku , Luffy and Naruto. Luffy got beat sooo bad that one time he had leave his crew and go train I think for 2 years 😂
itadori actually got his ass beat in this ep, choso really had them hands. I'll be honest the fight was awesome but the camera flipping made it hard to see what was going on.
Fun fact for the people who recognized the song, but couldn’t place it, it’s “remember” from the fight at the end of season one when YUJI stomped his brothers.
18:16 Itadori got his ass beat but at least it was a even fight. Don't forget Ichigo could only watch as Grimmjow destroyed Rukia's guts then get his ass kicked all over his hometown and used as punching bag for a minute straight.
Peak episode I already knew mappa was gonna snap with the animation with this fight, this one of the best fight in the Shibuya arc. 🔥🔥 choso built different but even though yuji took an L he got my respect for the simple fact that he only got hands and gonna put up a fight!
Ya'll are hilarious lol Sukuna is not Kurama btw he does not care if Yuji dies. He's got more fingers out there. He did not and will not help Yuji lol he was ready to accept death until Choso stopped himself from killing Yuji which intrigued him. It's why he opened his eyes again and said Hmm?
Personally, the random plate of pasta was the best part, it's so random and funny, but the context is so dark and twisted (wether you have read the manga or not); just wonderful dark humour.
It's really sad that anime onlys think Sukuna is going to save Yuji. I think they forget that Sukuna is literally evil, he does not care about Yuji. Another thing i realized is that most reactors don't even point out the fact that the memory thing is like Todo. If you look carefully there is a scene with Yuji and Choso's blood mixing together.
naaah Goku aint neever been down like this, He let his niggas get beat up then he pop out🤣😂 he smacked Frieza 1st fight, Vegeta 1st fight, and Buu 1st fight. Was going bar for bar with Cell then he let Gohan finish. Shit he Made Goku Black freak ass feel pain for the first time.
Those were the girls from the first half of season 2 that Geto saved from being killed by the villagers before he burned it to the ground. And yeah choso is the brother of those two curses yuji and nobara killed at the end of season 1.
Itadori already got his flowers we know he’s strong asf. Me personally I’m glad hes getting his ass beat so we know he ain’t the overpowered protagonist who never loses. It makes it much more interesting.
Don't worry you will like the anime I habe spoiled me self whit the manga but I am still watching it also in the manga there is lots of good things that will happen but I will say a little Gojo figths sukuna and yea I am not gonna spoil more
Reminder mechamaru debuffed choso and sealed half his moveset and forced him to fight yuji cqc and yuji still lost. Not because he's just stronger but bigger brain and tricked yuji. Biggest MC L of the new gen shounens
