That was really awesome to see Higuruma’s technique/shikigami and how he awakened his technique, It’s been a while since we last Domain Expansion in the anime. The whole law associated technique is really cool. It was interesting to learn how he awakened his Jujutsu Sorcery because I didn’t realise you could do it at a later stage in life especially with Jujutsu High School existing so I thought everyone awakens the sorcery around teenage years but it’s very interesting to see that it can also be awakened later in life because Higurama was 30.
Well, also now we know who was lying and Megumi was betrayed but then it’ll be interesting to see them battle and see what happens with the scorpion girl and chicken looking guy. I just know that next episode is going to be peak!
I’m relatively new to the fandom and just recently caught up to the show although it’s painful having to wait for the next episode to drop it’s well worth the wait!

Dude same. I was wondering this and if I missed something because I'm not good at noticing things lol. That's so cool.

summary of jjk fans' commentaries: “Did I really wait 2 weeks for this?” “Why are there no fights?” “I couldn't understand anything” “I'm gay” “Imma retake this when it ends” “I just want to see episodes that are like a tiktok edit of 20 minutes” “I'm gay” “I can't follow a sequence of dialogues, I need fights in between”

The rotoscopic animation was so fucking insane. I loved it.
@LyanHS "I'm gay." XD XD XD

Reading these reviews most people have clearly read the manga before, as someone who hasn't touched it at all this entire season has been somewhat disconnected mess, visually it is great and I don't feel like as anime it's doing anything wrong but the story as a newbie is just all over the place. Some say they expected things to happen or something was expected but for a first timer it doesn't hit even closet to that area, I rated this episode as OK and the start part about Higuruma whose name I had forgotten due to there having been a break between release of these episodes did nothing to me, moreso I was confused what all of this was about, was it going to build up into a new sorcerer being introduced? Sure that was correct assumption but as I had no idea where anything was going all this episode was an incredibly well animated episode with a short backstory and almost no actual plot movement.

Was expecting an action-filled episode, but this one was still enjoyable. Am glad the blonde guy was not lying to Yuji.

I was hoping to hear the real purpose behind the culling game at the end there. Unless that was all of it. If so, does that mean the real purpose is killing all sorcerers?

@giaa16 Yes this is the same with me, I feel like there's alot of information to the point where I miss some things but I think with regards to his technique and how it awakened apparently it might come in the next episode.

Higuruma is one of my favorite characters in the series. Honestly, the guy's backstory would be good enough to make a spin-off series detailing his past cases. Glad to see we're getting to the big confrontation between him and Yuji.

i think i'll be less critical about case decisions i actually know nothing about
i wasn't expecting such an insightful analysis on the judicial system from a manga author and i almost cried
the consistent failure to save his desparate clients seems to have pushed higuruma off the edge
really he is actually insane

also rin, what a guy, trying to teach a kid how to not get bullied, he's kind of funny

I see, so Higuruma was one of those lawyers that took on impossible cases for his conviction of not eyeing away from a hand in need and his face after that temporary innocent veredict shows the state of his mental health. No wonder after that trial is that he ended up lashing out and now has that many kills in the Culling game.

Meanwhile, it turns out the blonde dude wasn't lying, only that bitch was and I have no idea what the flasher's plan is with Fushiguro but it really sounds suspicious. A new battle episode approaches.

I was really looking forward to seeing the most hyped character of this season, and I wasn’t disappointed. Higuruma’s story feels somewhat similar to Geto’s, since both of them seem to have lost faith in humanity, at least on the surface.
As for Yuji being the one to fight him, I actually think he’s the perfect opponent. Higuruma’s technique is seems incredibly powerful it probably forces both sides into a “fair” judgment. And because of Yuji’s honest and straightforward nature, he might be the one most suited to overcoming it.
I seriously can’t wait to see how this fight unfolds

I could watch a full episode on Higuruma just being a judge within the legal system of Japan.
That first half of the episode was absolutely beautiful in animation and really engaging in terms of the Japanese legal system and make shift law plot.

Also, safe to say that Megumi is Toji's son with that stare...

Of course it was the baddie who was lying. Man, poor Megumi. Now he has to deal with a weird chicken-looking dude...

Cool introduction for Higuruma. I felt way more invested in his backstory than in anything else this arc has showed so far. Also Domain Expansion, huh? It sure has been a while since the last time I saw someone using one.

So... a bomb? Like... figuratively speaking you mean, right?

Usually I don't comment or review episodes, but this one was a really remarkable one. I didn't read the manga or knew the Higuruma character before, or even thought another one would give that character feeling I had with Nanami, but the character really overcame my expectations in various ways. What a story. Really amazing and deep developed, rarely made in such way. Loved. Jujutsu Kaisen os one of the best titles in the generation. 10/10. Just the best this season and one of the best of all times.

The first half of the episode, focusing on Higuruma, honestly felt like I had suddenly switched to a completely different show, but in a good way. Watching his frustration as a defence attorney, especially with how unfair and stacked the system felt, gave the episode a much more grounded and serious tone. It even reminded me a bit of Ace Attorney with the role of a defence attorney.

What really surprised me, though, is just how quickly Higuruma has grown in power. The fact that he already has a Domain Expansion despite awakening his cursed technique less than two weeks ago is insane.

I like this Higaruma guy, he seems really cool and his power is very interesting. Really love the visuals of the Shikigami and his Domain Expansion as well, shaping up to be a very interesting fight I think!!

Fushiguro has met this weird guy wearing toilet paper clothes. What's his deal?

Is Kenjaku really gonna nuke the colonies!??!?

Okay very interesting past/introduction for Higuma when he was a lawyer in this corrupted "justice", no wonder he got sickened by it, I just love how his domain expansion is a courtroom with the justice hammer, and now his confrontation with Yuji is already difficult, seems like we'll have a fight between them next episode. Megumi was also tricked as expect so he'll probably fight next ep too.
