Nanami :( He went out like a hero. Even after being burnt and exhausted, he kept fighting. I think it was suiting to be him, not only to trigger Yuuji off, but also to trigger all the viewers because everyone loved him. Mahito is probably more evil than Sukuna in some people's mind now XD. That fight/Beach sequence was ELITE!

No waayyyyy Carlie was spoiled on nanami😣 I’m so sorry

no i actually agree with Ange on that, for me it also felt kind of weird to immediately go into a fight. Or really, following up with a fight scene that was framed to be more "epic" after Nanami. Like, its a little tonally dissonant for me to hear crescending sad piano music, followed up by a more beat heavy action track When I read that scene (no worries, no spoilers) vs. watching that scene, I realized that because you read panel by panel, ANY panel can have the sensation of being "the end of the episode". I cried so hard I dry-heaved and I couldn't continue for days. So when I finally did, I felt I had time to grieve and then be ready for what came next. Bc of run time I guess? We just didn't get that time

extra note: I LIKE how jjk, specifically Gege, makes you feel the mortality of the characters and that any danger is real danger, BUT I don't think the argument of realism holds a lot of water on its own. Creators have to make the scenarios feel "real" but they also need to play the role of psychologist to see how their work will be understood

Healthy Truth

Best reaction of all time, true nanamin supporters. Ange killed it,also if carlie wasnt spoiled then this reaction wouldve went beyond, a perfect reaction to send off the great legend himself. Imo i feel some how he'll come full circle too

I don't think it was the author's fault. I didn't read the manga so I could just be wrong but I bet the timing was better there, like Nanami's death happened at the end of a volume and gave it more time to breathe or something and it was Mappa who got to that part at the middle of an episode and went "you know what, throw that fight in immediately after, we still have half an episode left to go". First time in anime history we could actually have used a little of filler xD. Plot-wise it makes sense that Yuji was raring to go after Mahito after watching that but I agree the timing wasn't great. Although I felt like Yuji could have done more about it TBH. He just let that happen in front of him after all he'd just watched before. Nanami was probably done for regardless once Mahito had put a hand on his back but Yuji didn't even try to stop him just in case and stood there listening to them chatting, when we know how fast he is. Ultimately it likely wouldn't have mattered but I'd have liked to at least see him try. They're being even more disrespectful to Maki though. If Nanami barely made it after Yogo, I'm 99% sure she's already dead and they didn't even show her to us...
