#jjk s2 ep1

[redrocketpanda]

Something that has been driving me insane about the credits are these sections with the fish so please bear with me whilst I do a mini deep dive (hehe) into fish discourse because YO, we need to talk about these fish!

Notice how at the beginning of the credits we actually have two white fish swimming along beside one another; one with bright turquoise eyes and the other with black.

A little while later the fish begin to circle each other and a droplet falls into the water between them. As the disturbance ripples out from the center, one of the fish dives deeper into the water and changes its colour to black; symbolizing Geto's change and descent into darkness

Then we have this heartbreakingly beautiful moment with Gojo and Geto:

I cannot stop thinking about how long Gojo watches the black fish for as it swims across the screen, whereas Geto's eyes are lowered the moment the white fish appears and he closes them as it swims past.

Gojo cannot bear to tear his eyes away, whilst Geto cannot bear to look

Throughout the credits, Gojo and Geto have been making their way towards each other through the pouring rain (or mostly sitting and waiting in Geto's case). At the end, they meet each other under a bridge and as they walk away together we see the fish a final time, swimming together again in a puddle formed by the heavy rain.

Geto walks on the left in the light, as the white fish swims close to his head, almost invisible in the brightness of the light. Whilst Gojo walks on the right in the shadow with the black fish swimming further away but still close by.

The fish speed after the two men before disappearing completely under the water just before the camera pans up and we watch as Gojo pulls Geto in for a hug as they walk away, before he's playfully shoved away by Geto.

There's a lot going on the credits (+ opening) that is absolutely killing me but man, these fish?! Breathtaking.

Feral Gojo : Gifs

[ace-touya]

The thing with the hidden inventory arc that gets me is that like, if I hadn’t seen any of JJK at all, and you show me s2 ep1 up to the end credit scene of s2 ep 4, and asked me who I thought was going to become the leader of a cult who wanted to kill all non-sorcerers, I’d think it’d be Gojo, not Geto.

Suguru was the one telling Satoru over and over again that jujutsu existed to protect non-sorcerers, that the society should prioritise survival of the weakest and that you can’t kill without a point to it.

Satoru was the one saying he found moral arguments annoying, that he didn’t think he’d feel anything if he killed everyone in the Star Religious Group.

Somewhere in episode 5, their ideals switched. I think after the weird, detached mood Satoru was in after fighting Toji wore off he probably really started reflecting on why he’s doing what he’s doing, but we don’t get to see a lot of that thought process because this episode is focused on Suguru’s descent.

The thing I can’t get my head around with Satoru though is what actually changed? What conclusion did he come to? Or was it just that, as much as he could empathise and agree with Suguru’s views, it was just that the method of killing all non-sorcerers was something he rightfully couldn’t justify? Or was it that, hearing Geto (who he believes to be responsible and level-headed) spout his own beliefs back to him in such an extreme way made him realise how twisted it was?

With Suguru, we understand it - he explains that he’s still been trying to tell himself that helping non-sorcerers is important but that after what happened with Riko, and then seeing what was happening in the village, he just couldn’t see that as worthwhile.

We don’t get that same insight into the changing views of Satoru, and part of me wonders how much of their changed perspectives comes from hearing each other’s views. That Satoru trusted Suguru so much that he trusted in the things Suguru said, and the more unhinged ideas Suguru heard from Satoru, the more they started to make sense because of everything else he was experiencing?

I do think that, if for Satoru it’s purely that he can’t justify killing millions of people, that shows just how good of a person he is, just for the sake of being good. Because if he could see Geto’s reasoning but still disagreed with what he was planning to do, that shows a strong moral code.

I feel this is less of an analysis and more me just trying to understand these two weird dudes, so feel free to add on! This is something that really intrigues me about their characters

JJK S2 EP1 MOMENTS

they🥹

tinies

THEY GOT CAUGHT FLIRTING😭

THIS IS SO

🫶

MY WORLD

what's with the random hand shot 🤨

[zorosdimples]

i have so many things i want to talk about to let me summarize:

- toeji (watched s2 ep1 of jjk… the dog shot… PHEW)

- toxic threesome with the ragbros (servant!reader au)

- nanami with cat hybrid reader (mint’s fault)

- zhongliiiiiiiii (doing his first story quest rn!)

- zoro (’s hard cock) (i had a juicy thought earlier)

Jujutsu Kaisen s2 ep3

Overall I'm enjoying this because it's jjk but I have a few gripes ngl

Scroll away if you might be upset by a less than glowing review

I'm so sorry to these mappa employees and I completely understand why they went with the less detailed look but 😕 idk man

(I'm not bothered by the new style, I loved ep1 and enjoyed ep2 for the most part)

BUT

There's something missing in the weight and impact of the fight scenes. Kuroi and Geto's fight scenes in ep 2 didn't even make sense. Even the blood splatter looks a little lifeless.

There's a reason the more detailed, less "pretty" and a little rigid style worked for jjk. I understand that this season has better animation, background work and composition but there's something off in the feel of it

I also think they could have adapted and arranged this episode a little different from the manga. Like:

Reveal Geto and Gojo's thoughts on the merger and letting Riko go while they watch her at the aquarium

Give us a view of how Gojo sees sorcerers and humans and the CE they have or give off and then show us none coming from Toji to show us his invisiblity. Then have Gojo inner monologue about how that's impossible, but quickly move on to "if that's the case, it must be heavenly restriction allowing him superhuman abilities" or something

(jjk isn't really a hand holding show but some anime onlys haven't heard the term in 3 years, they might not know what he means)

Show Riko thinking about growing up with Kuroi while she's at the aquarium so we don't have 1 relatively silent montage followed by another

Show Geto looking at Kuroi holding back tears or having a trembling lip before she says she can't go any further

Show Gojo using his six eyes to figure out the inverted spear of heaven's ability then just have Toji say the name

Idk, I can't think of anything else rn but in all honesty, the impact of the fights not hitting quite as hard is the most worrying considering there's gonna be non stop action for more than half the season

I understand that with how much needs to be adapted, it wouldn't be practical to do what Sung Hoo Park did in extending and adding to the fights and I might be proven wrong when Gojo v Toji continues

(plus this can and might be addressed in a Blu-ray edition)

But I still think it's a shame that 3 out of the 4 fights so far haven't hit the way others in jjk have. Season 1, imo, put as much weight into even the smaller fights

Idk, maybe I'm just bugging. Don't kill me, I just needed to rant

(s2 still above and s1 still below)

Someone posted this on twitter and (again I don't dislike the s2 look BUT) I can't deny that there's something special about the aesthetic of s1. Like his eyes don't just have a glow filter look to them, they have the actual sky. I understand and respect that they probably don't have the time to animate that anymore but I'm allowed to say I prefer it

Idk s2 kinda looks like an AI art

[redrocketpanda]

Favourite stsg moments: JJK S2 Episode 1

[evilpenguinrika]

so i checked and realized I only watched ep1 of jjk s2

thought i was further along in s2 but that's alright

[spaceboystar]

I HATE HIDDJEBIVENTORY ARC I FUCKING HATE JJK I HATE JOFOR IS EHATE I HATE HATEDIID HATE EGEYEROJEBI HATE JJK I HATE JJK S2 EP1-5 I HATE EVERYTHING

[m1ckeyb3rry]

Ok same before BLLK I was like knee deep in JJK (do you have a fav?? I’m personally a raging Inumaki advocate LMAO) but after discovering BLLK and also seeing where the story went…..yeah….i can’t say I’m caught up on all the leaks (everything between Gojo sliced to Yuta copying kenjaku) only because I got so confused and I genuinely have no idea what happened I just know people were dropping like flies left and right…I’m hoping gege has a plan because not to be overly critical but I could not see ANY plot for awhile LMAO it was just kinda an ongoing toss someone into the Sukuna fight tag team whoops they died next person kinda vibe for me too….if I’m being honest I think I was originally captivated by the whole premise of jjk and the fighting curses thing that was most prominent in the content covered up to shibuya but I think I was slowly fading from culling games…something about it just seemed so different from what jjk had built up to be originally (or I just was too hard stuck on its original kinda theme of sorcerer vs curse strictly..simpler times…)

Also I don’t know how much you’ve seen of these but the recent exhibition content?? Where apparently gege clears up some stuff about the camellia being not a camellia and throwing people for a loop like I’m NGL I thought that was kinda ridiculous like huh??? I can’t tell if maybe it’s just a mistranslation but the never ending cycle of “DADDYS HOME”(meme ref I wouldn’t actually call gojo daddy for disclaimer’s sake LOL) to “it’s gojover” burnt me out…but LMAO I def remember reading culling games for the first time and talking to my friend being like yeah I’m just gonna wait for this to be animated because I have no idea how hakaris ct works

I love we have Otoya at one end of the disrespect spectrum yuki at the other and karasu in between LMAO

Ah yes agency my fav word fr!! Whenever I do in depth analysis I find myself gravitating towards talking about agency and will of certain characters I love how you developed this…also talk about scholar?? Pop off the amount of research/knowledge you took into account while writing this omg

And fr!! Bonafide soccer losers I’m sure they’d find their way to a field and a ball no matter what au they’re slapped in LMAO that being said cherry tree is also a personal fav of mine from your portfolio…the characterization for Rin was on point and aligned a lot with what I’ve understood to be his character LOL but yeah that tag is flooding (I could be wrong but sometimes I feel like saes is even more active??) it’s gotta be something about the Emo teal eyed dudes I’m somehow hoping at some point in bllk we see Rin get to redevelop his interests outside of soccer..(like the horror games and his personality kinda pre-sae trauma) but we’ll see how that goes LMAO

Back to research DOWN TO THE PLANTS IN HIORIS FIELD goodbye that’s some next level research I’m honestly living for it though!!! I mean I wouldn’t know which plants are native to Japan off the top of my head but I can imagine if I read something wrong about something I was familiar with I’d be a little irked the dedication you have is too real

SHHSHS GLAD TO HAVE YOU TOO HEHE I’m also hoping tabieitaken nation RISE honestly I’m sure they will I think they’re just kinda like…idk paywalled for lack of a better term behind the anime only/stuck in manga barrier I’m hoping we’ll get to see them in action from ep1!! Also yuki always almost seems like the third wheel to me LMAOA I think he’s just too dignified to stoop to their level of goofiness sometimes he’s just got that air to him….honestly I’m just excited to see all the new s2 characters in action with their dynamics and relations etc….im also kinda a nanase stan I can’t wait to see my headband boy in action…I think it’s funny how Isagi gets surrounded by people with accents and dialects I can fs see him being lost when they use region specific vocab LMAO

THANK YOUUU I know I just braindumped there so do take your time LMAO…I’m excited to read the karasu one shot and your other event works too!!! Will be back for commentary with each release o7

Also that shot of Karasu from s1 has me dying eightbit better give him compensation and do him justice s2 because that’s not Karasu that’s Kevin….like who is that man…..but no you’re blessing the Karasu tag never stop LMAOAO

-Karasu anon

i’m in pretty much the same boat!! i loveddd jjk and was p active in the fandom from like 2022-early 2024. my favs were megumi kashimo and yuta!! but i loved inumaki for a while hehe. i think some of my best fics are for jjk in terms of the kind of story i like to write 🤔 but i do agree that recently i’ve felt v lukewarm abt it

i feel like it’s a trend to hate on things that are popular which i don’t necessarily agree with but i just feel like i don’t really enjoy reading jjk anymore!! and i think a lot of its fans think popular = good which isn’t always the case. i also believe it gets a lot of praise which while some of it is merited (the things jjk does well it does VERY well) some it maybe not so much. for example i’ve seen a lot of people praising jjk for its female cast and honestly i don’t see the appeal. not a single female character is written as well as the male characters (including maki, who as much as i love her and as much as she is def above average for a shonen fc, is not really as well written as people make her out to be imo) and they all have dissatisfactory/vague endings (the way yuki tsukumo’s character was handled was a crime, same w tsumiki). i think a lot of fans think not sexualized automatically means good female character but that’s only one portion of it. jjk is kind of what i mean when i say i’m glad bllk has barely any female characters…i rather they don’t exist than get shelved for the plot/development of male characters/not even fully explored

also the way people were confused about whether nobara died for YEARS after it was shown in the manga and it was only cleared up in an interview is just. idk. i feel like i love what jjk could be (and again, i love a lot of things in it as well!! this is more me explaining why i’m not so into it anymore ig haha) and the things it set up to happen, but the execution isn’t really to my taste. different people will enjoy diff things but that’s just me 🤷🏻‍♀️ i keep up with it just because i feel like i have to?? i want to know how it all ends but i’m not emotionally invested like i used to be. also one thing i will say is i see a lot of analysis posts breaking down jjk and pointing out the different subtle details gege has put into it, and while i admire that level of attention i think those kinds of details should only serve to enhance a main story?? like the plot should be able to stand on its own without needing to have a very very deep understanding of many many nuanced topics. but again all of this is my personal opinion!! at the end of the day jjk is wildly popular and many people do enjoy it. gege isn’t perfect but no one is tbf so while i think criticism is good i would never bash on them for their ideas/work. at the end of the day it’s their story and the way they want to tell it is what they’re going to do!!

if soccer didn’t exist in an au they were put in the itoshi bros would simply invent it HAHAH omg i’m glad you liked cherry tree!! that’s like one of my least fav bllk fics i’ve written LMAO i feel like rin is so wiggly to write about (that makes no sense but basically he’s just hard to capture in my mind) that it was difficult despite being a relatively simple request 😫 yes i do think that sae’s tag is a bit more popular than rin’s!! maybe it’s because sae is being set up a bit like the gojo-type character who’s untouchably skilled 🤔 that kind of trope is always a winner w the fandoms i feel…i have to admire i think his haircut is weird asf 😔 i don’t think he’s UGLY but i also don’t know what everyone sees in him (i have to be careful though because the last two times I said this it was abt kaiser and otoya and. you saw how that turned out.)

PLSSS omg yes i sat there making sure white butterflies even exist in japan and everything 😭 there’s a line in hollyhock too where y/n compares reiji hiiragi to a hornet and originally the line referred to him as a vulture but apparently japan doesn’t have native vultures?? so it wouldn’t make sense coming from someone in the sengoku era to refer to a bird she would have had no chance at ever seeing. my philosophy is that it’s one of those things that people won’t care about if you forget (and sometimes artistic liberties can be taken) but the more careful you are to ensure you’re being as accurate as possible, the more the work really feels cohesive and believable ig?? 🤔 idk i think it just gives a more seamless vibe and you can def tell when an author is knowledgeable or at least did some research before writing abt a subject!! it always elevates a fic to me and i’d like to give that same experience to my own readers hehe plus i’m a bit of a perfectionist so i’d make myself do it anyways most likely

I AGREE i can sense them becoming popular they really are just fandom tropes as actual characters!! as long as their animation does them justices 😭 otoya and yuki looked okay in the last ep but karasu…they did my man a lil dirty icl 😔 omg that screenshot of him is so funny to me idek what it is he just looks so odd!! same in the epinagi movie though not to that extent 😔 i think part of it is that he’s drawn so sharply in the manga that in the anime he looks a little too soft?? for lack of a better word. also i got so used to him having black hair that i forgot his hair is technically purple-blue (karasu with black hair and purple eyes you will forever live in my heart). i was rewatching bllk a while ago and i saw him in that moment (he’s in the background i think he’s either judging shidou or judging raichi and gagamaru) and i had to rewind like HELP IS THAT KARASU?? but he’s kinda cute though…w his little 😒😕 expression…

also this is unrelated but idk how i just realized kurona was number 4 in second selection?? the way he beat literally every relevant character except rin is so funny (although tbf idrk how aryu and tokimitsu got 2nd and 3rd but then completely faded from relevancy after second selection)

yup..... yup i know how the shounen jumps go........ like two years ago i was already set on never touching the jujutsu kaisen because my initial pretentious "main character looks ugly -_-" aversion motive was firmly consolidated by the Rampant Misogyny so yeah i would never give in by this point anyway but seeing the gorgeous gifs and scrolling down to read jjk s2:ep1 is still always such a

[marleysfinest]
