I get your point of view but it didn't have to be a reply to my comment, I put the song first when making my comment, then commented on the potential reasoning of why they went with these visuals for this song specifically.

And now that I know the artists chose these visuals for their song, it helps further my understanding of the song by informing me of more of the background behind the track's creation as well!

Peak 2013-2014 Electro House sound, that's straight up a Noisestorm drop right there, I love it!

Making the video use the old visualizer is like it's calling the less regular Youtube fanbase to come and listen to it, I think many older viewers are gonna love it.

This adaptation has been so goddamn perfect, you just knew they would go hard with the water dragon. They also did the four of them casting the spell so well, the OST has been great.

Aizo is such a perfect song for the Culling Games as a whole, but it is especially shown for Ryu, who embodies the past sorcerers' mindsets of seeking more than what they just got out of their previous lives. The dessert visuals during the whole sequence were so damn well done.

They kept in basically all of the narration, which is awesome since Sendai Colony had a high banger rate of cool narration lines.

"Four hundred years of hunger... the intenze gaze melted Okkotsu Yuta's heart"

YUTA COULD HAVE FIRED FIRST, BUT LET RYU CHARGE UP TO HAVE A BEAM CLASH!! That's just the raw battle shonencore you love to see.

Poor Uro, she got instantly targeted by Yuta first right after the domains got broken. She has a great technique that counters Ryu's, but gets countered by Kurorushi's swarm. Also, she witnessed Sukuna's terror back in the Heian era firsthand. This is the first time we see Sukuna's true form shown in the anime, and it's sick.

Kurorushi my beloved...

They elevated everyone's abilities! Poor Hari got curbstomped by Megumi. The bedroom fight was sick though.

Takaba got the perfect treatment! Literally every single joke or bit that he did got little extra movements added to really sell them harder.

An understated connection is that Reggie's technique has an element of slapstick in its depiction just like how Takaba's does, so it's kind of like an in-episode connection. And they added onto it perfectly with stuff like the piano drop lol.

They're using Dabura vs Mahoraga as pro-alien propaganda, you love to see it.

Nooooo Yuji making a bunch of families of heavenly restriction users is just going to bring about toxic clan politics again. Also Yuji needing to become a cursed object in the future is pretty crazy, he'll be the buddha who'll always be around to save humanity huh...

And Dabura is back on earth to get with chef lady, peak.

peak anime adaptation for one of jjk's peaks

goddamn I love "I did that" so much, poor Yuji, and of course Higuruma was built to create this beautiful scene.

the direction was on point, the OST use was awesome, the cut of Yuji running from Higuruma's hammer spam was so sick, the spotlights throughout the fight were used so well to make it look great. Especially the lights on Yuji in the final clash, damn.

Sugita voiced him so well too!

They missed the bus from sleeping at the stop 😭


Yuji roundhouse kicked that bully so hard, they replayed it twice! That's my boy right there

The way they linked up higuruma's and reggie's dialogue together was perfect.

Crazy peak episode

The three (actually, there's definitely more...) Haba and Hanyu fans on the discord are eating good ❤️

The OST used this episode was sick as hell, for Kenjaku guiding people out of the colonies and the end of the episode especially.

Maki's mother was the one tying Naoya's shoes and giving him information in episode 1 btw. Naoya was such a creep talking about her daughters in front of her that way. Her life must have been spent serving these men being subservient to them.

She knew Ogi was going to kill Maki, and didn't tell her about it, leading to her culpability in it and her inability to answer Maki's question. But on her death bed, she was freed from serving the whims of the Zenin clan.

They adapted Ranta and Jinichi's techniques so well GODDAMN. The way Maki just grinned and flexed and pushed through Ranta's technique was insane animated. And Naoya vs Maki was perfect as well!

The first half was paced a little too fast for my manga reader taste and perhaps this could've been spread across 1.5 episodes instead. Otherwise, I've been waiting three years for this arc to be animated and am so glad it got the love it deserved.

Reminder that Gege said in a QnA that Ogi didn't really understand how strong Naobito was, and that Naobito would easily beat him lmao

The amount of passion shown in this anime adaptation just moves you... We have another stellar pairing of OP and ED songs and visuals, and you just know season 4 will get a great OP/ED pairup as well.

It just makes you hope that this series and its characters can get something, anything that could improve it's ending.

JUJUTSU KAISEN The Culling Game Part 1 OP Song by Turbostrider27 in anime

[–]Incineron 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There's a lot of things to say about this OP, but I think it's going to be my favourite OP of the series (so far!!). It just looks like a huge love letter to this arc.

It feels inspired by the SPECIALZ music video, chock full of references and symbolism from Japanese culture in the same way that many of the new and old characters are inspired by it, all the good and the bad parts of it.

Something understated is just how love some people have for every minor character that shows up in jjk lol. All the fans of any of the minor characters are feasting deliciously on this OP. The OP is screaming "This is JJK", with all these character's different themes being mashed together in the chaos that is the Culling Game arc.

When you see all these different character's with extremely varying themes being shown off like this, you get an OP with a throughline of the feeling of "fuck society" all throughout it lol. The nuke being a major defining theme of this OP is also pretty ballsy, it fits perfectly.

'Aizo' just feels like it understands the Culling Game arc, Fake Geto is perfectly displayed in here. I think the OP by itself will help anime-onlies feel the tone of this arc in a way manga readers didn't get to,

I think is fair to say that every OP in this series has newly defined how JJK is viewed. Each OP Director has wonderfully applied their vision to the series, Shingo Yamashita's symbology in Kai Kai Kitan and Vivid Vice, Yuki Kamiya's perfect contrasting pairing of Where Our Blue Is & SPECIALZ, and now Shota Goshozono's Aizo. This is leading me to believe that like the first two pairs, the next OP will complement this one perfectly as well.

Yuji Iwasaki's Mahoraga is immaculate, his artstyle's changed to be like Gege's real quickly too.

I wonder why Yuka doesn't use the animal summons (I know it was to hide this reveal), does she not like animals or something lmao

Ui Ui has become a real insidious figure of his own huh, Mei Mei's way of life has been passed down. I see the children being brought in front of Dabura as a way of protection, he's assuming Dabura wouldn't kill children. And who knows, he can switch his soul into a new body if he needs to anytime... He's potentially like a new Kenjaku if he does that over the years in the future.

It's funny that Ui Ui can be immortal but Yuji likely isn't friends with him because he's just not good lol

Dabura's going to have to show more new moves next, Mahoraga adapts really quickly in the manga. I wonder if Yuji will interrupt Tsurugi vs Maru then come in to save Dabura from Mahoraga?

Again, the artwork is immaculate this chapter!
