Not for nothing, but the gore in this episode was a lot for a shonen series. Particularly talking about the twisted and mangled bodies. :stare:

So from the PVs it looks to be (more) backstory for the teacher and the monk, do we actually go back to the present with the main cast in this season?

I mean, it's a mix of a bunch of things with Geto. Like, if the way his powers worked didn't leave him feeling disgusted and soiled to his core he'd probably have been a lot less likely to go off the deep end like that, even after his experience with the cult.

Goons just casually strolling into the room. Saying loudly to nobody in particular, "Yeah, I'm only into violent & degrading pornos. Real hosed up stuff!"

My girl loves when I cut her in half with a compressed blood laser.

They did a remarkably good job of making him an "oh poo poo" character in a very short amount of time.

Can't say I've seen a shonen where the protagonist unwillingly massacres countless innocents before :stare:

While I don't want to justify any of the arguably criminal* scheduling calls the jerks who call themselves production management at MAPPA get up to...

...I do feel people are a bit insane calling episodes like this bad looking. Like, compared to what? Film? 80s OVAs? I've been rewatching YYH back to back with new episodes of JJK, and I think people have developed ludicrous standards for TV animation. Granted, part of that is a self fulfilling prophecy: you get super ambitious with a project, you're gonna raise expectations, but even compared to the first season (which was a perfectly cromulent bit of TV animation)... crazy poo poo going on here. Yeah it doesn't look perfect, but bad???

*I was actually reminded that MAPPA's spawning grounds, Madhouse, got accused of labor code violations, which makes this current state of affairs all the more dunderheaded. I saw something about the JJK0 movie having been produced in about four months and speculation about that being a success gave the people drawing up the deadlines a lot of bad ideas about how fast they could expect the studio to turn things around.

Also find myself wondering if the fact that Chainsaw Man (like Kimetsu) being a largely joint project between MAPPA and Shueisha VS the usual roundup of production partners means that it had less ridiculous expectations compared to JJK.

Yeah I thought this last batch of eps has been some of the wildest thing I've seen on television, Dagon one aside.

So this was the episode, huh. I'm really looking forward to seeing the discussion once more people have seen it.

As a standalone episode it was a real, "oh drat" moment. Of course, knowing how things go nobody's dead unless you see a body/transfigured Nobara. She could just end up wearing a cool eyepatch for the rest of the show. Pretty bold if it sticks tho.
