big fan of the back to back crying thumbnails

henrique ferreira

droped in the perfect timing, I just sat down for lunch!

I laughed when you said a while back that you liked Mahito, or at least found him funny. I do too, but I was thinking, “She has no idea what’s coming.” LOL. Mahito is one of the greatest anime villains because he actually kills major characters. He doesn’t just come close—he causes real, lasting damage to characters you genuinely care about.

baileygobrr

oh god it was NOT good idea hahaha im so sorry

Cisco

It’s okay nothing else traumatizing happens in JJK after this

Jarucifer

Gege I’m tellin you, your days are numbered

Bits and bytes

Valid reaction, I also thought about quitting when I got here too, as if the last episode wasn’t enough. Yelling that Gege was a sick sick mf, to my sister’s amusement as a manga reader…. This was a tough back to back, stay strong soldier.

"i will never forgive this show if it gives me back to back deaths" gege said "challenge accepted" 😭 I don't think you're letting anyone down, I feel like a piece of media that can bring you a deep emotional reaction has done it's job well and you have connected with it greatly, and that in itself is rewarding (even if that means bawling your eyes out). Besides you can always re-analyze things later for futures discussions once you've had time to digest the events of the episode. I feel that's usually better, anyway.

Aki Himura

Imagine how I felt at this point on the show considering that Maki, Nobara and Nanami are my three favorite charaters 😭

Doğa Karaman

I cried with you. The most heartbreaking scene from the series. I feel like I lost my family again and again. Anyway love you lots 💗💗

Leah Henderson

I was bawling for my first watch, too (and maybe just now with you again...). Somehow, an even more impactful death than Nanami. T_T

PK

Stop it

PK

I don't blame you if you need to take a break from JJK for a while, it's okay

Jaega

I really hope you're able to overcome the trauma and keep watching. Great video, and a similar reaction to my own.

Junior

glad to see i am not alone in suffering

Grisak_

Yes, officer, it was him! *Points at Gege Akutami*😭

Marcos Roberto

I don't think you are letting anyonw down by feeling what you are watching. Of course we are here for your analisys as well, but we can understand what the moment is for you seeing how you feel too. Keep up the good work

If I try to think back on any villain that I really hated in all of anime deep down. Majito honestly is still up there. Its the combination of his shit talking AND actually being smart and powerful to back it up too and his care free attitude. This combo made me feel a level of hate for a character that I can't remember I felt in other animes. Yuji said it best back in season 1 "The next words that spilled from my lips came from so deep within my gut that it nearly made all the things I've ever said feel like a lie........I will kill you!" Anyways here's a hug Sophie 🫂

Yeah this is probably one of the most controversial deaths in all of JJK , many thought that Nobara's death felt cheap because she was still a character that had room to grow and could offer much to the story but it felt like she was just used as a plot device to give more trauma to Yuji and it is kinda dissapointing. Also the way that Mahito touched her is also kinda stupid since she just stood there in one place and basically allowed Mahito to touch.

sonny wojcik

I’m telling you, the rollercoaster is intentionally designed like this to be unpredictable. But the next string of episodes are the best of the season imo.

Episode 18&19 back to back is brutal.. I was crying with you while rewatching, Nobara's flashback is so touching which makes her fate even more upsetting and soul-crushing. I do think this episode and especially her scenes were done beautifully but Nobara is such a beloved character and she's one of the main trio characters, so you can imagine that this writing decision is quite conrtroversial in the fandom

Daniel

suffering like no other 😭 felt like i just watched erwin and armin die all over again. unkept promises, sacrificing dreams for humanity, all of it felt alike.

Dr Sophie Darling Reacts

I think it happened faster than she could react. We know Mahito is quick so I think our perception is somewhat warped by how it slows down.

Anonlou

Okay, I wasn't ready to see you not ready for this, and so I subsequently got all weepy.

Floyd Hampp

I think it is the tease at around 6:30 of your video, where you think "Oh yeah, they're going to take him down together!" because we've seen that happen so many times in other shonen anime. I didn't feel as "tricked" in 2x18 - you could kind of see that one coming. This one was truly a gut punch, and I remember sobbing so hard when I first watched it.

Jim Nasium

A majority of the thumbnails this season was mostly shocked face so of course it has to change up at some point 😂

JoshyBoi1912

funny thing is, Mahito is only a few months old at this point, can you imagine if they encountered him while he had been alive for a few years already? They'd be fuckedd

Amy

Going straight into 19 with the tears still drying from 18 is commendable, and quite amusing for those of us who've experienced the pain already and know what's coming. Time to relive it again :)

PrisonicFog

You'll probably get a lot of comments about how controversial a decision it was for Gege to do this to Nobara. I'll simply offer part of my own perspective that's not so negative. I find it interesting that the flashback comes from Fumi’s POV rather than Nobara’s. Most shows have the character looking back on their own life right before they pass, and there's nothing wrong with that, but by having a completely new side character do the reminiscing, it focuses more on her character independent of the jujutsu world. It cements how Nobara had a life completely outside of sorcery, and even outside her relationships with Yuji, Megumi, and her other sorcerer friends. On paper, having her look back and think about those relationships would tug at the heartstrings more since that's what we've seen so far, but this makes her loss mean more than just losing a sorcerer or a member of the trio. She'll leave a void for Fumi and, unknowingly, for Saori. There are complaints about "fridging" her for Yuji's trauma and not giving her more development, but I feel the way Gege went about it consciously considered that aspect. Could he have done it better? Probably. But I find Gege is extremely effective at these smaller stories or vignettes, and considering he does this in an environment as grueling as Shonen Jump weekly manga and still ties a lot of moving parts into the larger narrative, it makes me more open to forgiving him for not 100% sticking the landing, especially when I feel he still makes it feel distinct.

PrisonicFog

doesn't help in that they explicitly call back to Nobara and Yuji's fight against Eso and Kechizu by making you think the Mahitos are going to do the same back-to-back switch they did in that fight but of course they didn't haha. Funny how yuji and nobara both have a callback to that fight for scenes in which they explicitly lose.

Stes

Yeah, I see we came to similar hard criticisms of Episode 18 and 19. Not sure if Gege considered how hard it is to watch through all these fucking tears in my eyes. Great animation and all but how the fuck am I supposed to see it now. Kinda dumb actually You met the challenge well. Giving painfully insightful commentary while under the oppression of whatever the fuck is wrong with the creator of this series. Much, much better than me. I remember being dead silent during that entire flashback with my heart increasingly sinking the more it showed why Nobara would be missed, instead of some jujeutsu ex machina that could save her from the frankenstein-twink-demon-fuck that is Mahito. I think the only words I said out loud was a quiet whisper of "Please don't" in Saori's scene because I thought Gege was going to kill her too like a mafia hit.

Plunge

absolutely brutal episodes to watch back to back

domi

I think thats exaclty the point, if we think their deaths were too close to each other, one can only imagine how Itadori feels

domi

Nanamis death was horrible, dont get me wrong, but he a) is an adult and b) his internal moments had more to do with the jujutsu world, so its something outside our normal, as viewers, but Nobara... she was just a teenager, and since we see her past from someone outside the jujutsu world, we just see a normal kid :((( that could be any one of us or someone we know. Idk if theres an equivalent in eng, but in spanish we say "pueblo chico, infierno grande"->small town, big hell, basically. That moment with the rice was a great example.

rinnie

Me having seen this show and read the manga already and im still here bawling with you 😭

JVSkol

Sophie positive Nobara will die a the begining of the episode... Sophie optimistic Nobara will live haflway tru the episode... When I get my hands on you Gege Akutami

Brandon

There is something to be said about Nanami and Nobara dying in the same way around the same time. Nobara defies the idea of collectivism in society. The corporate life that Nanami struggled with is a direct byproduct of that same collectivism. So in my mind it’s fitting that they both die to Mahito, he basically represents collectivism in its most toxic form. If Nobara is meant to represent human individualism and identity, while Nanami represents purpose and meaning. Mahito is constantly defiling those things the moment he touches a human, turning them into tools with no will that only serve him. A Japanese saying directly relates to this idea and to Nobara’s technique: “A nail that sticks out gets hammered down”

Toamsz Kozak

I still call this a little bs, if that's what happened than I think it could have been directed better, like I said Nobara's death is still one of the most controversial decisions that the show made, I still love JJK but this is something that I (and a very large portion of the fandom) will never agree with

Toamsz Kozak

Well I would agree with that if we the stakes didn't already felt real , Gojo is sealed, Shibuya is completely destroyed, Nanami is dead, we don't know what happened to Maki and Naobito. The stakes never felt aby more real so don't see what Nobara's death i supposed to acomplish other than giving Yuji more trauma which is kinda dissapointing because I had high hopes for Gege's writting for female characters after that episode with Maki,Mai,Nobara and Momo. Especially since (manga spoilers below) We actually learn that Nobara is not dead so all of this was for nothing

Stes

Ah, my first paragraph was meant to be a joke that I played a bit too serious. I intended for the "hard criticism" to jokingly be "This story sucks because i literally cant see it through my tears why did the author not consider this" I actually love that JJk did that for the exact reason you said. Truly an immersive experience for us the audience lol. Some TV series sell merch. We get lore-accurate trauma AND merch yayy

Sonja Seren

This season was literally Gege taking his most problematic powersets and characters he liked the least (seriously, he didnt like how OP he himself made Gojo) off the table. Not all just for the story's sake but as if just to pile the trauma onto Yuji until he broke. My first thought at her death was "damn she got 'fridged'. (Like so many other supporting anime characters to the main character)" And i still feel that way to a point. That all her character development and clever power set and moment of being a subtle tool perfect to take out beings like Mahito (or any curse really) was all wiped just to give us one more spark for the inevitable shonen pyre that is Itadori's awakening. I had to take a break after this episode too. It was devastating.

fred from scoop doo haha epic

agreed i think mahito was just too dangerous for nobara to be fighting at her current level i think its believable he caught her off guard

domi

Truly our jujutsu kaisen

Kayla Unknown

They really, truly make you feel what Yuji's going through.

Fennec

Yo this is turning into some sort of incident

Violet

Realized I've been putting off watching this reaction b/c of what happened to my girl 🥺 I freaking love Kugisaki. Tore Mahito's ass up so bad, he had to run. Thought he had the upper hand and got jumped yet again 😤 (sorry to his fans; your man is the ultimate rage-baiter) Edit: Back-to-Back?!?! I really wish could have warned you 😭😭 But I appreciate the unfiltered, blind reaction, too lol

Jay Fischetti

JJK can take drastic and sudden turns with characters that you just don't expect. Nothing is off the table but it always manages to circle around into it feeling like the author did respect his characters and wants those who love them to know that too. Small heads up for next episode: They skip the ending animation but play the ending song over the last minute or so. Don't skip the credits!

Jack

Agreed. People tend to forget how fast some of the characters actually are, that combined with Nobara thinking she had Mahito on the ropes lead her to let her guard down a little. In the last episode we had Yuij and Mahito walking and running normally while the debris from their attacks was moving in slow-mo. By the time Nobara registered that Itadori was there are there were two Mahito it was already too late.

Chris

JJK is literally all about trauma. This is how curses are born after all..

Brandon the Cannibal

As much as I loved Nanami, at the end of the day he was an adult who always made it clear that he would put his life on the line to protect people, especially the kids of Jujitsu High. That's why this scene with Nobara hits especially hard, she is a Jujitsu Sorcerer but she is also still just a kid, and so is Yuji. And I don't know whether it's fortunate or unfortunate but the only thing that makes this feel even slightly better is that they weren't angry or distraught over this, they accepted their fates with open arms knowing they did all they could and their friends and loved ones will continue the fight for them.

eanna mcnamara

Toootally off topic but Saori at 15:16 looks just like you lol

Seryu Ubiquitous

knowing what was about to come it took me nearly a full month until i was able to watch this reaction. not that its the first or second time i saw it but it hurts so much especially when i watch it with you. idk why but if i see your reaction it hurts much more. i really liked nanami but nobara was my favorite character (maybe together with maki). i dont like those "feelgood" anime where you know from the start that the "heroparty" is never in real trouble but i also hate it when your beloved characters die. :(
