Those fights were so good. I can't remember another fight sequence that had me on the edge of my seat that much.

The Jiro fight (mustache dude) especially stood out. I enjoyed how they slowed down to show each move in detail.

But didn't someone say in the first season that sorcerers were getting more powerful? Wouldn't that imply that it's not just spirits getting more powerful as a result of his existence? That it literally is some sort of magic/balancing force/whatever?

ETA: Going back to the figure skating analogy, it's not that the skaters weren't trying until someone managed more rotations. It's that once one person has figured it out, everyone else has a model to work from, so of course it goes faster for everyone else. It would sort of work if Gojo was teaching them to hit that level of power, but it's pretty much said that it started as soon as he was born, and Yuta already had a terrifying amount of power before meeting Gojo.

I'd always assumed dragonball rules. You don't know something can be done, so no one gets even near that level. But once you know it is there, you can strive for it.

You see the same thing in even in contests where you can't directly copy someone else. The sheer dominance invites challenges.

I'm surprised at Nanami not double tapping, just leaving that dude embedded in a wall as is.

It's honestly pretty hysterical that Nanami seems to have a cursed tie. That thing is hideous.

I don't think he's making it out of this arc, he doesn't have a domain and that seems pretty important for these fights. :(

And somehow the other guy is alive? Nanami seemed to be carrying him to safety before going back in. Is the healer waiting for them?

Genuniely that hair pull scene is animated with more horny energy from MAPPA than even the most indulgent Makima scene in CSM.

It seemed something more like "I don't want my friend to lay down on the ground like an animal" rather than "let's bring him to safety the next wall over". He's dead

Edit: Also is it just me or, with the new Mappa team, certain characters got changed so much you almost wonder who the gently caress is talking? S1 Nanami was stout but certainly not "ripping yellow pages books as a hobby" bulked out.

tfw you're peeing next to someone in the lineup and they don't know
1) The flash step that Toji does to the grandma combined with Toji's Theme playing in the background is unbelievably fire and if they rewrite things to include him more, I'm all in.

Toji's whole gimmick that he's basically unbound by the chains of fate, a being of pure chaotic energy who changes the flow of the world based on his petty whims, is such a good gimmick. It's perfect for the story too because he doesn't give a poo poo; you can freely include him in the story, or leave him out, with no narrative issues at all.

2) Mappa is making some pretty interesting artistic choices and I really hope it means we get a refinement of the next major arc after Shibuya because that poo poo clunky af, don't worry no spoilers. I just hope that go partway anime original on a lot of stuff that could really be improved.

3) Stupid sexy Nanami owns

I didn't get "horny" from that scene at all. Nanami just looked like an angry badass and somehow people get horny vibes from it?

It doesn't take much to reinterpret a scene as horny.

I think it is definitely pulling the hair by the ponytail. If it had been done any different it wouldn't have come across so horny.

If you can only think of that in terms of pornogrpahy that's entirely on you my dude. My girl loves it when I pull her hair and believe it or not we are neither in a violent degrading relationship nor are we pornographic actors. It's one of the most common kinks there is.

In my most humble and completely objectively correct opinion, I think they intended for him to look like a barely contained force of fury and all the people getting horny from that is just a lucky coincidence

i think objectively twitter is extremely horny for that scene and i suspect the fujo crowd is too

i would be surprised if the animation director wasn't at least aware of this potential outcome when making these decisions, because it seems very predictable and it probably is not their first rodeo with this manner of social media engagement
