Hang on he's just Todo now? What happened to his U's?

Also Megumi's dog barking along the nice pitches is funny as hell.

The manga's official translation always used Todo so it was weird that the anime used Toudou. I'm glad that that was changed.

Also "wants to punch a zebra someday" broke me and I have no idea why. The rest were also hilarious but that one was extreme.

Todou has powerful nen user energy. He fights by thinking really quickly about the specifics of his opponent's power, obviously. But the way his ability is so basic is used as a strength by saying how it works, that being a lie and bluffing over how he COULD use and and when he does what exactly he'll do is so fun for me to watch. He's the best.

I already liked Toudou when he was introduced and then by the end of his fight I was like this is the greatest anime character in the last 5 years

I hope they don't immediately forget about him after this arc

Should note this is a super impressive feat for Megumi, the number of Sorcerers that can do a domain expansion is in the single digits even for an incomplete one like his. Nanami an Impressive sorcerer himself states it’s the pinnacle of Jujutsu Sorcery that he could never obtain.

Also it's another pretty good demonstration that being a jujutsu sorcerer requires being cracked in the head to a degree- Megumi doesn't look like your typical shonen hero getting his powerup there.

I was wondering why Sukuna was so interested in Fushiguro way back when, but finding out he has 1) Some kind of ultimate suicide attack 2) Was bred as a bargaining piece for Jujutsu clan shenanigans 3) Was able to do that super hard thing that hardly anyone can do on his first try has gradually colored in his potential.

Granted that doesn't explain the nature of Sukuna's interest, unless he's just Cursed Goku, looking for a real strong guy to throw hands with

I don't think anything beats the "flighty but then eerie and heavily threatening" vibe this OST they used vs Hanami does.

Also really love the one on Nanami's first shown outing

Actually I just like our ex-Salaryman returnee, Kento Nanami, in general. Kenjiro Tsuda voicing him is the sort of thing that puts a skip in your (pissed-off) step.

Gotta say, Megumi's Domain Expansion felt like the sort of thing that in some other shonen shows might result in a couple of minutes of talking to the audience about what it does and what it means he can do now. Here, they just conveyed everything through pure bravura animation, and it was completely understandable.

Seriously, just imagine that fight scene in Bleach.

It also helps that we had an episode a while back where Gojou literally grabbed Yuji and said "hey, check this out!" and explained what a Domain was and why it is a huge deal. And twice in two succeeding story arcs we had the big "oh poo poo" moment being the major antagonist busting out a Domain Expansion.

And the show continued with that pattern, someone yelling "Domain Expansion" was a huge loving deal in this episode, to the point I actually did audibly go "holy poo poo!" even if the reason was completely different in this case.

The show is really good by the way.

Megumi's fight this episode was also basically the manga chapter to a T, but sickly animated. This studio is killing it.

Well Hanami was about to do that, but stopped cause Gojou showed up and Hanami knows better then to fight him.

Can someone explain what's going on re: the curses looking alike? I'm pretty sure they tried to explain it in the episode but I can't follow sentences with that many unspecified articles.

They're basically both custom made from one of Sukuna's fingers, basically, instead of being "natural" curses. At least, if I caught it right.

I was thinking that was an option, but why did Sukuna destroy the first one? Didn't like a lesser version of himself running around?

Is it a lesser version of himself? I thought curses were using Sukuna's finger to power themselves up.

Yeah, its them taking similar forms because his Fingers are what is evolving them.

Sukuna took the first one out because lol you tried to touch me, but he also wants all his fingers found (eventually). He intends to take over once there is enough of him in there.
