Jujutsu Kaisen

Episode 16

---------------------


Goto probably said that because it was the best option for Itadori at the time.

But as Toudou said, pure strength is what'll help you defeat the strongest opponents. A strange attack will help you defeat middle tier opponents who are already susceptible to your weaker attacks more efficiently, but it's the strong attack that will win you a battle you'd otherwise lose.

This anime kicks ass. I like the fights, the art style and the characters in general are pleasant to watch. There's not a single character on screen that I wish never had any screen time.

That makes the most sense, but I found the timing a bit off. Usually, when shounen main character develops a new killer technique, it is useful at least during one fight or arc before the paradigm shift calls for a refinement. Yuji never even used it in a fight and it is already the old model? Just strikes me as odd...

Good fight for the panda, and I'm glad to know what he actually is, now. I typically wish for some form of power rankings in these battle scenarios- an old habit I've been trying to kick- but the ones in this show confuse me a bit at a glance. The grade is the level of cursed spirit that they can comfortably take on, so they are a bit stronger than those? I suppose that doesn't apply to how they should match up to each other (jujutsu sorcerers). What was the point of this event again, narratively?

For some reason, I thought this was going to be a tournament arc before last episode, but this show moves way too fast for that, I guess. I'll make an effort to enjoy this for what this is, instead of the older shows it sometimes reminds me of.

I thought the same, but I like this better... even though it's technically kinda of a tournament arc, but would've liked or would like to see more group battles instead of individual fights.

Didn't he use it to great effect against Mahito?

That's something that's been bothering me too, I seem to recall it was effective there as well. Maybe it was also because of the bad match-up he was for him, but it's something that isn't fitting for me in the narrative. Guess we'll see if it's elaborated further.
