My favorite thing about this arc is how they built up yuji's team to look like a bunch of misfit underdogs until the game starts and they start absolutely clapping cheeks.
The only one who looked like an underdog was Maki (not using cursed energy and Panda showing she's a 4th grade ) , Yuji , Megumi , and Inumaki were hyped up one way or another . The only one who was hyped up from the other school was Tudo
I hope Maki used the flat of the blade when whacking Miwa even with the cloth in the way, or she might have actual bleeding wounds in addition to ungodly bruises
@@idkidc7513 uhhh ya sure on that cause shes swinging round a big weapon known for being incredibly slow and kinda cumbersome like its a pse pipe of all things (those plastic pipes that can normaly be found at say lows or somthing like that)

I don't think Mai lied. I think she really underestimates her sister so much, that she has a rationalization hamster running in her head about it. She's only lying to herself, in the end.
She can create whatever she can think of, but she has limitations due to her lack of experience, refinement and/or amount of curse energy. Shooting bullets imbued with cursed energy isn't something unique to her. Imbuing normal weapons with cursed energy is a pretty common thing. Yuuji and Nanamin can do it too
@@enochlo9156 im pretty sure that you are thinking of "antimatter". Dark Matter is so non-reactive, we barely know anything about it with our modern understanding of physics due to us not having any efficient methods of measuring it's properties just because its THAT non-reactive.

@@shred0164 Yes. If the first quote was said by Maki, it would make sense for the second line to say "Also Maki:", but since the first line was said by someone else, the second line should just start "Maki:"

I love how you can feel the impact of every hit, every kick, every rough landing. The production team really brought out the physicality of combat in this scene (and in every other fight scene tbh).
That’s why she weak tho it’s cause she not crazy Everyone who is crazy, unhinge or have psychopath tendencies Are crazy strong She the only one who isn’t like that that’s why her and the witch girl are ybr weakest
@@lordofanime7540 to be fair, that doesn’t really apply to Maki anyways. The crazy ones are strongest because of how cursed energy works, but Maki has none - this allows her to be as cool and calm as a normal person while retaining insane physical strength. She’s still a first grade with Playful Cloud, which is… pretty amazing.
I love the idea of characters like Maki and Toji. In a world that’s filled with these dangerous and complex magical techniques, you’ve got a character that has none of that, and just shows a display of pure martial prowess and strength.
Hell, Toji was just about the most dangerous dude in the Jujutsu world. The Zenin clan is full of idiots if they think no Cursed Energy somehow = Useless considering one of their own without Cursed Energy almost killed the strongest Sorcerer alive.
I feel like we should appreciate the sound effects in this. The impact sound of Maki’s attacks just sound so hard and really highlights just how strong she is.
I really like that the female characters here are in a league of their own. Maki and Nobara are so badass, especially Maki is just wiping the floor with the other female cast.
"And how is she able to swing such a long sword in this forest with so much stuff in the way?!" this little details that shows how strong Maki can be is so awesome
Loved Maki from the start but man after watching the JJK movie I fell in love with her even more. She's easily becoming one of my favorite characters throughout the entire series.
Remenber one thing: curse energy can be used for enhace physical abilities and maki can fight people who can do this with just her natural strenght. If we consider this, it means maki is tecnically stronger than most special curses and sorcerers(with yuji being a exception)
Everytime I saw Maki fight I was waiting for more, she's just so efficient and her weapons are pretty stylish. Her backstory just makes it even better. Take note, western producers, because that's how you write a proper female character.
Plenty of terrible Japanese female characters to go along with the Western ones, unless you're a coomer I guess. Should Westerners also include things like Mei Mei and her brother?
It's so cool and refreshing to see female characters actually fighting and being strong in a shonen series instead of not doing anything and crying *cough* Naruto
the writer has done so well writing the female characters, its so rare to see such consistently good female characters in anime especially which aren't just liked for fan service
Only reason Maki is grade 4 is because the Zenin Clan held her back. The Zenin clan automatically despises anyone without cursed energy, like Toji for example. Maki is actually at least semi grade 1 here.
