What Happened in JJK Episode 44

In the aftermath of the most shocking moment of the Shibuya Incident in episode 19, episode 20 witnessed Yuji enduring a brutal beating from Mahito, who successfully executed a black flash. Fortunately, the timely intervention of Todo and Arata, a Kyoto school peer, rescued him. Arata conveyed the possibility that Nobara might still be alive, providing Yuji with a glimmer of hope. Todo offered a motivational speech, reminding Yuji that the sorcerers in Shibuya were well aware of the risks they faced. This revitalized Yuji, and together with Todo, they recommenced their intensified battle against Mahito. In a remarkable turn, Todo synchronized with Yuji and executed a black flash against Mahito, pushing each combatant to operate at 120% of their full potential as the episode concluded.

What To Expect From JJK Episode 45

Yuji’s enduring hardships in Shibuya lead to a climactic confrontation with Mahito, making their ultimate showdown both physically and emotionally impactful. Each strike that Yuji delivers to the curse carries a significant weight, creating a cathartic viewing experience. The possibility of Mei Mei’s off-screen resolution of the fight with Geto’s body suggests that this encounter might be the conclusive climax of the arc. If so, the animators at Studio MAPPA have the opportunity to make it one of the standout fights of the season, concluding the Shibuya Incident on a high note.

Despite production challenges faced by Studio MAPPA during the making of Jujutsu Kaisen, episode #20 showcases the animators’ exceptional work. While it remains uncertain if the remaining part of the fight will maintain the same level of animation quality, hopes are high for a continued impressive performance. If Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 episode #21 can match the established standards of the season, fans can anticipate an exhilarating conclusion to one of the best arcs in Shonen anime.
