I don’t get it, who or what is Kirara? Looks like a woman but called he, so he’s a man? Is there any explanation to this because I don’t know the source material and only an anime only. I guess ultimately doesn’t matter as they only seem like a temporary side character for this build up.

I can't lie, the informative segments this series have been highlights for me, they always come with a killer soundtrack and clean animation and the explanations during Kiara fight was no exception

Also this focus on red highlighting for some of the darker light scenes is hitting me different, the characters look so cool illuminated by it

How has it not even been a full month yet and we are already halfway through this season? Usually a 12 ep season takes 3 months. Double episode drop I get, but damn

Megumi and Panda vs Kirara was a really interesting fight. It taking the approach of each side trying to break the stalemate was a fun watch and we got to see Megumi use hi brain. I liked the interaction between Yuji and Hikari cause they are very similar its just that Yuji nuked Shibuya like a week prior to them meeting lol. Seeing Kashimo at the end was a nice treat

This felt like a Jojo's episode with figuring out/explaining Kirara's cursed technique just like a stand user.

I'm LOVING how they're directing this season. The interaction between the characters felt impactful, the fight was entertaining and every step Itadori made towards Hakari felt heavy and meaningful, almost as if I was there looking at them

@TrapsterJ As Panda mentioned in the previous episode, he remembers Kirara as a boy. Megumi too. In the manga photo, she looked like a boy in middle school. Now she's a cute girl with big breasts. The conclusion is quite simple. Do you know the model and actress Hunter Schufer? Imagine Kirara being Jjk Hunter Schufer XD Ah, and she may not have a biiiig role, but she is Hakari's girlfriend/partner/lover, so she will appear later.

WOW I love the care the animators put into the animation, I do hope they get to see their families though, unlike what we've been hearing.

The episode was pure cinema and it was really interesting to see Kirara's technique which was very interesting to see, they way Fushiguro broke it down made alot of sense to understand it. I hope we get a breakdown like that for Hakari's technique. As always I'm left wanting to see more its so good.

Good ep

Megumi and panda vs Kirara was fine, but still kinda boring like the manga. Tho, the Crux star theory was better told in the anime. Rim lights looked cool along with the animation.

Lol, Kirara's spooked face.

Itadori vs Hakari was as expected..

Nice to see Kashimo. Definitely wanted to see the manga intro, but it ain't that serious.

This ep adapted the rest of ch 154 and 155, 156-157, and sum of 158.

9/10

Man, Itadori is scary as fuck.

@Rexnihilo
Hakari's is like rough so it especially hurts when he hits you compared to a normal punch from someone else and STILL Yuji is taking those punches unguarded like a champ.


To quote best girl Nobara "If all you can bring is pain, Itadori Yuji cannot be stopped."

Kirara's powers are interesting but a bit confusing. Kirara Hoshi has star related techniques just as the name "hoshi" meaning star. Why did Gege made Kirara a guy. he's really pretty though?

Pretty good episode imo.

Kirara's reaction to Megumi's comments is so funny lmao. He's a interesting new side character. To be fair, except for the unnecessary rigid and lazy scene between Itadori and his senpai from the previous episode, this arc is the most tolerable so far.

An alright episode.. Direction keeps having their way instead of adapting the manga appropriately, which is disappointing, all though it's not as big of a deal as it may look. This episode was also dedicated to Kirara, so no surprise to the incoming tsunami influx of westerners who will claim he's trans or whatever associates with their views the most. Also Kashimo looks too wide in my opinion, so there's that.

@Achelexus No, she is clearly a trans woman. And Hakari only dates women as well. So put 1+1 together.

Plus she has grown boobs, so she's probably taking hormones as well

AHHHHH I'm so fucking sick of using plural pronouns to refer to singular persons, it makes subtitles so fucking hard to follow sometimes.
Does anyone know if they actually use "they/them" pronouns in the Japanese script or is it translators taking liberties again?

@Supercuecaaa The number of people who refuse to even acknowledge the possibility that Kirara is a trans woman is quite funny.As if it would hurt them. We literally have it implied in manga that Hakari isn't into guys and Kirara has big breasts. This is not a boy who dresses up as a woman because boys don't grow breasts like that.Kirara is probably on hormones and has had surgery, but people will still pretend that it's abnormal and makes no sense at all. XD

The fight with Kirara was pretty cool, the whole constellation thing was interesting and made the fight quite wacky and fun, I saw someone else mention this too but it was reminiscent of a Jojo fight. Fushiguro played it really smart too which led to Kirara’s swift defeat, but hey it was still a good showing for Kirara, who is still very hot lol. And things with Hakari ended up working out kinda easily, all Yuji had to do was take some punches and say he’s a cog in the machine, but I mean it worked so sure why not lol, Yuji still managed to be badass without really doing anything too which I appreciate.

And looks like we’ve already got a rule added to the Culling Game, so now everyone’s info is public, although they didn’t mention cursed techniques was one of the things you could see, I guess that’s a silver lining at least. And a new character was introduced at the very end, being Kashimo, I like his design and he seems to be someone that knows Sukuna from a long time ago, I’m excited to see him in action.

@nhiudv yeah you're right, the plot barely moved in this ep... While it was beautifully animated but the fight was way too long.
