It basically means battle. Jujutsu Kaisen roughly translates to ‘Sorcery Battle’

From Japanese perspective, the word "kaizen" you mentioned (which means improving something), is a different word from "kaisen", which is a part of the title of this show. The word "kaisen" in the title of this show is not a familiar word to Japanese even, and I am not sure what it exactly means lol.

I disagree it's objectively bad. Especially compared to any good anime or aot which they just finished. I can use other verbiage such as immature, poorly planned, or uninspired but I went with the more cohesive 'bad' to spare time

Most people who speak English end up saying the names like that, but in Japanese the romanized 'u' in a word represents the sound 'う' which is an "oo" sound. The pronounciation is meant to be soo-koo-nah ☺️

Hey, Hey, Hey! Yeah. He was inspired by HxH but also Naruto. "In fact, creator Gege Akutami once disclosed that Naruto was one of the major inspirations in the creation of Jujutsu Kaisen. It was surprising when Akutami revealed that, instead of Kakashi Hatake (Naruto Uzumaki's mentor), it was Tonbo Tobitake, a minor character from Naruto, who provided inspiration for Gojo Satoru." Jujutsu Kaisen is a true successor to Naruto, building upon its ideas and tropes in unique and interesting ways. Jujutsu Kaisen subverts a major trope from Naruto by making the protagonist Yuji and his inner demon Sukuna enemies throughout the series, torturing Yuji more than Naruto had to suffer. "

i've seen sukuna pronounced two different ways:
soo-kuh-nuh
or
sah-koo-nah
i think both are acceptable pronunciations.

Sprinting to episode 2 💨

Starting with episode 3, there will be a small 30 sec- 1 min. Segment after the credits in every episode that will add some character building and worldbuilding, but is mostly humorous in nature
Also after season1, there is a movie that actually is part of the storyline and gives info that will be useful for season2.
Hope you guys love this, i just promoted my tier to otaku gold a couple weeks ago to see more reactions. Keep up the good work.
P.s. to answer when you asked about where your patrons are from/ what they do. I am from St. Charles, MO, and i am a welder. I mostly watch your videos during work when i get free time

2024-07-01 17:37:41 +0000 UTC
WE ARE IN IT YALL!! So, the title basically means "sorcery fight" and as you can see has a lot of supernatural horror elements. And yes, this show is very information heavy as you've begun to see so please do keep pausing as much as you need to! Once you start getting a good grip on all the information shoved at you, it'll be become easier to understand what's happening. Trust me, it gets very hectic!
Yuuji's physical abilities are insane from the get go. He has speed, strength, endurance, agility, etc which is why even without cursed energy, ya know before he ate the grimy finger and all, he was able to break through that window in time to save his friends. He's a wonderful character with incredible heart and I'm so glad you guys have finally met him.
I am also glad you guys watched the opening credits. It gives you a brief taste of what's to come and of the world you're about to step into. I hope you also watch the ending credits because they're so fun. Starting in episode 3 there are these short light hearted segments that cleanse the palette a little bit at the end of every episode in s1, they're called Juju Strolls, so I hope you guys consider watching those!
Quick little reference guide of terms mentioned in this episode:
- curse (also referred to as a cursed spirit): a malignant force or being that is born from the accumulation of negative human emotions
- cursed object: an item that has cursed energy as a result of it's malicious past, often is a physical remnant of a powerful individual
- jujutsu sorcerer: individuals who can see curses as well as control and release cursed energy within their own bodies to defend regular humans from curses

If you like this anime you'd also love Naruto. They are similar but Naruto is pretty old so the anime quality isn't as great. "In fact, creator Gege Akutami once disclosed that Naruto was one of the major inspirations in the creation of Jujutsu Kaisen. It was surprising when Akutami revealed that, instead of Kakashi Hatake (Naruto Uzumaki's mentor), it was Tonbo Tobitake, a minor character from Naruto, who provided inspiration for Gojo Satoru." Jujutsu Kaisen is a true successor to Naruto, building upon its ideas and tropes in unique and interesting ways.

When he jumps through the window, you asked "How he gets up there?" But in the future, you'll get more familiar with anime and when something similar happens you would say, "Well. That's anime"

I actually did find it more confusing than aot lol but maybe that's because I didn't read the manga for jjk before starting the anime.

I am happy to watch this with you 🥰 I actually think you will enjoy it even more *because* you haven't seen a lot of anime, so the concepts will all be new and shiney to you 🥳 I don't think it'll be that confusing, since you do pause and make sure you catch everything. AOT trained you well 🤣
Also you will learn characters super easy cuz they all have drastically different hair, thank goodness 😋😋😋

nah it’s best to watch from the order it got released. so watching the movie after season 1 idk kinda makes sense
carmen 🫧
2024-07-01 16:34:08 +0000 UTC
the movie is based on a prequel but it added original scenes that could spoil things in season 2 so, not recommended.
just watch chronologically how it was released.
even the author said it's better to read volume 0, the prequel, after reading the main story until a certain point.

I just checked MAL and it even says the movie 0 is the prequel to S1, even thought the movie came out after S1

I'm so excited to rewatch with you guys and i keep thinking about jjk ( Jeon Jungkook ) from BTS with the title and it would be a great idea to watch anime with your sister too it can be called the jjk anime trio, you can maybe brainstorm on the nickname, hehe, and i love the theme of this anime that you will learn more about as the series goes on, it gets deep and it teaches you things too. Going trough a bit of a rough time lately so being here with all of you is always nice.

Hello J&J, great reaction, this is actually the first show of those you have reacted to or are currently reacting to, that I have not watched, so I will be following the experience as a first time viewer with you guys!
By the way, I don't know if you noticed but at around 9:26 in your reaction you guys saw that the high school is in miyagi prefecture, same prefecture as karasuno high school from Haikyuu!!, just though it was very interesting and fun coincidence.
Thank you for always sharing your time and amazing personalities with us.
Love from Colombia!

Jjk can be a bit overwhelming with all the information it throws out but otherwise it's a great show, and knowing how you guys analyse and pay attention to most details, I'm sure you guys won't have that hard of a time understanding it! It's one of my favorite anime so I'm very excited to go on this journey with you guys❤️

I think it would work out quite nicely if the release schedule stay the same, 2 JJK per week and 6 HxH per week. At that rate, they should be acclimated with HxH enough when more complicated concepts get explored with JJK.

Thank you for the reaction!
This is the first time someone reacted and paused at hard ticks explanation 🤣
I was worried that JJK would be too difficult for anime newbie, but I think you guys will react to HxH soon, so that will be fine, lol.
JJK author, Gege Akutami, is heavily influenced by HxH author, Togashi. Along with other big shonen titles like Bleach, Naruto, and most of the battle shonen in Shonen Jump (the biggest Japanese magazine for the shonen genre manga), but mostly HxH. Even Bleach author, Kubo said to Gege when Gege said he was influenced by Bleach, Kubo said "No, it's Togashi, right?"
That's how obvious it is 😂
So, a lot of things in JJK will make sense when you've seen HxH, I hope you'll be patient even if you get confused for now. (and I hope nobody spoils anything by explaining too much without checking...this happens A LOT in the JJK community, they thought they were explaining things but ended up being spoilers)
I'm excited about your journey in both anime!
The animation by MAPPA is gorgeous in season 1, I hope you guys will like it.
EDIT: btw, I started reading JJK manga when it was released on Weekly Shonen Jump in 2018, so I'm kinda old fan of JJK, but I only started reading HxH recently, in 2023 when Togashi did an exhibition in Japan. I kinda regret that I didn't read HxH earlier, it makes so much sense after knowing HxH.
Also, JJK in earlier chapters explains things outside of the story, in Tankobon (a manga book that is released after a few chapters and collected from Weekly Shonen Jump Magazine), the author added character backgrounds and additional explanations there, in between chapters (like bonus pages). Other authors also do that but especially in JJK, it's too many lol. They also released an official guidebook (called JJK fanbook) that collects all of the explanations until tankobon vol. 8 (until season 2 in the anime), if you want to know better it is recommended to read it after you finish the show. I think in English it's available online for free, someone put it as JJK wiki. There's no way anyone can understand just by watching the anime, so, just take it easy and enjoy for now.
