![]() Suguru's first person point of view put the finishing touches on a frenetic journey that went from stress to joy, to fear, to disbelief, to hope, to love, to devastation and anger. The third episode of Jujutsu Kaisen's Season 2 was capable of not only generating a wide range of feelings, but to play with them. The contrast created by connecting the thrill of combat with the emotion fo choosing life over duty breaks up with a last impact.Īt the end of the day, the best review or the most accurate description of an episode relies on what it makes you feel. The rest of the episode gets tangled up between Gojo's defeat and Riko's calm walk to a destiny she refuses to accept. No more kayaking, no more easy mission accomplished now that the bounty is over, and they arrived their destination, because every single thing up until that moment was just Toji's writing. Suddenly, a katana pierced through Gojo's chest, right when they were feeling the most comfortable, inside the Jujutsu High and its barriers, when he let down his guard. But truth was, everything that happened was just a distraction.Īll paths were leading to one exact moment. After building-up expectations with the kidnapped, ending the last episode with it, plus said alley scene with a lot of emotions ravaging, then completely destroys the tension with a cute playful scene at a glorious beach with bright colors and cool outfits. There was something very refreshing about this first part of the episode. After the opening, they went back to inserting flashbacks to aid their conversation about rescuing Misato, which had already happened. A few flashbacks during the alley scene followed by a time jump to the four of them at the beach. Early on it was the turn for an altered sense of time. Withing the fine margins of this almost, Hidden Inventory 3 found room for trying out a few things. When so much happens on a 20-minute episode, managing the pacing, so it doesn't feel rushed, could be an almost impossible task. An alienated Toji, ostracized from the clan he was born in, and the prodigy that was the first one that bothered to look back at him, but only because as someone with no cursed energy, undetectable to his mighty Six Eyes, he just feels like a rarity, an anomaly that catches the attention. As if they were always connected, this scene builds-up both of the character's psyches. In the scene of Toji's first encounter with Satoru Gojo, the gifted child, the same type of frame is shown with Gojo's eye, but this time, what can be seen is the reflection of Toji himself. However, in the same episode they presented a very different use of this same technique. On a more immediate interpretation, it may as well represent the state of shock after seeing her tied-up picture and the thought of losing someone she loves.Įither way, this picture is tied to a change in the state of mind. This leads to revisiting her close relationship with Misato, takes them on a trip to Okinawa and ends up defining her ties with the real world, and thus, her hesitation to join Tengen. In this case, the iris reflects a phone that serves as a symbolic beginning of the end of Riko's life. This type of cut could be used as an introspection related event, as mirrors are often portrayed, but that changes depending on what it's shown. As such what reflect in the eye first is the phone where Riko sees her beloved caretaker kidnapped. Toji had led Satoru to use up his powers by sending weak yet insisting enemies forcing him to stay on high alert for a longer period fo time. That alone could be a justifiable reason as to why they used the iris reflection cut multiple times. The whole episode was an explanation about exhausting Gojo' Six Eyes ability.

Mappa has always tried to be different with Jujutsu Kaisen, try new styles, and incorporate cinematic elements and uncommon cuts to give the series a feeling of uniqueness and innovation. While that alone is a great start, the icing of the cake is the way they tell story. ![]() It was not just a great episode for the events that occurred or the shock value they carried.
