Hello and welcome. You are listening to the After
Hours Arc. My name is Anti and I'm your host.
And with today's episode, I am using this as
a segment starter to recap this current season
of Jujutsu Kaisen. I've wanted to do that. I
just watched the last episode. It's extremely
fresh in my mind. I will say. It's Friday, and
in my pilot episode, I had just said how I get
to watch these before I go to work, but I was
so fucking tired. So I decided to sleep in. I
do not regret my decision. It was well worth
it. This was waiting for me when I got home.
So I watched it, and here I am. So this was episode
7, and I... had to google who this first person
i'm about to bring up is because i had no fucking
idea i couldn't tell if they were a boy or a
girl they had short medium dark hair you know
they're laying down on the ground they're covered
in a blanket and we have kenjaku standing above
them so like you don't have a good profile to
like go off of i mean i guess i guess i should
have noticed might have looked a little more
feminine but i mean I think Yuta looks a little
feminine. So that's a hard thing to just go based
off of like a face. And so I had to Google who
it was. And if you don't know, and this is your
first time finding out, or if you were like me
and Googled and found out and... I was so mad
because there was no way I was going to know
that this is who this was. I was expecting we
were going to be introduced to some new character.
So, I mean, I was paying really good attention.
At least I thought I was. And in my defense,
I think I was. I don't think it's my fault. And
I'll explain why. So, you know, Kenjaku is explaining
the situation. You know, the calling game is
about to happen. You know, you have one chance
because you're like innocently caught up in this.
You have one chance to go, but only one. Like
he was very, you know, very clear about that.
And, you know, as they're walking. The scene
does shift a little bit. We start to see some
curses in the background and a little bit of
a city skylight. And what I think is that's the
barrier. You know what I mean? They're in the
in -between. Outside the barrier, in the barrier,
and then the colony is what I'm assuming. I could
be completely wrong. So I'm sorry in advance
if that is the case. But before they depart,
Kenjaku makes, you know, like says, thank you,
by the way, for being friends with my son. And,
you know, this didn't spark anything for me.
I do remember, like, I remember us just watching
the, like, flashback memory scene of, like, Yuji's
dad and mom and grandpa, you know, grandpa. And
so I was like, okay, I wasn't surprised by that.
But I'm like, how is she his friend? I could
not place her. They end up showing her, you know,
outside of the barrier. And somebody else sees
her that, like, knows her. And is like, oh, you
know, a familiar face. And, you know, they recount
that they both had this, like, same dream. Like,
everybody's had this dream. So, Kenjaku has literally,
like, personally walked out each one of these
people caught up in the, you know, before the
start of this calling game. Which I think is
really considerate. Especially considering how
evil he is. But when I googled this person, it
turns out that their name is Sasaki. And they
were the fucking bitch from the occult club in
the high school. So at the first... like episode
and like in season one. So like, what was that?
Like five or six years ago, there was no way
from looking at that screen that I was going
to know who that was. And I mean, even now, maybe
it's because like, like she's not wearing glasses,
but I don't know. Like I, it made me mad. I'm
like, I'm like, is it really? But anyways, after
that, we go back to the aftermath of Karara and
Fushiguro and Panda's fight and Hakari and Yuji's
fight. And, you know, so they are basically,
you know, explaining to them how Gojo is sealed.
And, you know, Panda also adds that, you know,
the principal is dead. Like, just like nonchalantly.
And everybody's just kind of looking at him like,
and like, you know, Yuji's like, you good? Panda's
like, yeah, yeah, that's what I said. It's all
good. But after, you know, Hikari hears all the
circumstances. Especially those are two very
big circumstances. The president of Jujutsu High
and the principal, I'm sorry, not the president,
and Gojo are both out of commission. Or at least
one of them for now. And Hakari wants something
in return. He makes it very clear that he isn't
going to be doing this out of the goodness of
his heart. Because again, like fushiguro his
sister's involved and i am constantly forgetting
that like that's the whole reason he grabbed
yuji to go into the culling game it was like
the whole reason and i keep forgetting so like
obviously hakari doesn't have the same reasons
to go and do this you know and by the sounds
of it he's trying to make you know he's not this
just nice guy doing charity work and panda being
panda is like oh you probably want in on the
jiu -jitsu regulations because they're like most
likely going to get revised they note that like
you know the the curses are like public knowledge
now you know they're public to the world so you
know, that's going to change everything. And,
you know, Hakari definitely wants to get in with
his business, you know, his fight club. That's
what I think. And I think this is the perfect
time and opportunity for him. So, of course,
being like in this kind of shocked state, the
triple, the trifecta of this. news -shattering
development in Hikari's life is Fushiguro is
like, you know, and I'm the head of the Zenin
clan. And that is exactly what sealed the deal.
Because again, you know, to have one of the three
powerful families backing you, I mean, you would
be stupid not to go for it. I will say, his reaction
was super adorable. I think I'm really, really
going to like him as a character. He seems like
such a goofball. He, you know, he's processing
all this. And he's like, you know, what do you
call him? Like a sea urchin head or whatever.
And he's like, you know, my name is Fushiguru.
And he's like, Fushiguru. And he turns around
and he's got like these like puppy dog like eyes
and they're like melting. And he's like, can
we be friends? So, you know, but then of course
the screen says that like the next day or two
days later, the Zenon clan was massacred. So
we know what happened there. And I thought that
was really cool though, that the timeline is
different. So like what we saw, like what we
saw from Maki literally didn't happen. Like it
happened after what we're watching now. And that
was like a little trippy. And I really thought
that was a nice touch. So. After they like come
up with, you know, them, Hakari agreeing to help
out and, and all that, the Shikigami that we
saw in the last episode, like at the end of it,
that, um, Kashimo had, you know, made new rules
and this Shikigami appeared and had told them.
So it now happens at this point. Now we're picking
up kind of where we left off on the last episode.
And it explains that a player has added a new
rule to the game. And the rule is that players
can now view player names. They can view points.
The number of rules that they've added. like
most importantly like the colony they're in so
like that's pretty intense right off the rip
um so the shikigami's here and you know they
they're trying to see like who's on the list
and they want to find somebody who has a hundred
and point hundred points or more So Fushiguro
has a plan and this little Shiki got me. I think
they're going to be cute. I don't think they're
going to be annoying. I was afraid when I saw
it in the last episode that it was going to be
this obnoxious character that we're going to
be like stuck with. Because again, every player
is supposed to have one. And I forget the name
of them. It has a name. I think it begins with
like a K. So I'll have to find that out for the
next time. But the Shikigami is like, nah bro,
I'm like Yuji's. Which also kind of is confusing.
And it starts the discussion with them about,
you know, how are you Yuji's when he hasn't entered
the culling game yet? And, you know, the conclusion
is that... You know, Sukuna must have made a
pact with Kenjaku. And, you know, I think in
the process became the cursed object. I'm not
entirely positive. It's a little confusing. It
seems that he made pacts with a lot. So that's
kind of that's going to be kind of exciting and
interesting to see unfold. So the one thing that
we notice when they go through the list of players
is that that Kashimo, like blue haired, 400 year
old sorcerer, he's got like 40 kills already.
And that, you know, like they're able to see
the points and they look for people who have
100 points or more. And this guy's definitely
not going to be. like what they want so there's
definitely going to be a fight with this one
um but they're looking for people who have that
many who are not you know who aren't going to
be wanting to create new rules so that way you
know they can monopolize on these these players
and come up with two rules specifically The first
one was to be able to transfer your points or
like any of your points to another player. And
I think that is a fantastic rule. You know, I
don't know if it's gonna jive with the game master,
quote unquote. But at the same time, I do remember
Tengen saying how because there's already such
imposed restrictions and rules and consequences
and whatever, whatever, that chances are they
will allow it. I think within moderation. So,
you know, that's the first one because... I forgot
that your curse technique gets stripped if you
do not. I forgot how many days it is, but if
your points don't change in a certain amount
of days that you're you're you get stripped of
your cursed like energy. and like techniques
or whatever and which pretty much is death so
you don't want that and this rule would allow
you to loophole around that you know what i mean
um because again yuji is still really fucked
up about the sakuna takeover and i mean i don't
blame him i mean i feel i feel for him but like
at the same time you know what i mean like he
is taking like all this guilt and he doesn't
want to kill and i mean i think he's going to
be forced into some situations that really push
him for sure because i just i don't know um it's
i think it's going to be rough and if this rule
does not come into play like if they're not able
to do this then like Yuji's going to have to
earn points. And again, there's only one way
to do that. So I think that's a very good first
rule. Hopefully they will add it. The second
that they wanted to add, and this one I'm like,
eh, like they ain't gonna, is to make a rule
that like players could like spend their points
to leave the Cullen game. And I mean, even, even
Hakari is like, but you know, there's a rule,
um, you know, isn't there a rule that says like,
you can't make a rule that like interferes with
the game itself. And I, I forgot about that one
too. There's so many rules. Um, and I was like,
oh my God, but you know, Fushiguru has this solution.
He's like, you know, Because he did think about
that, and he thinks the same way, that right
off the rip, it would not get accepted. So he
thought about adding a condition, and the condition
being dragging a non -player into the game to
take that person's place. Which is, like, maniacal.
But again, it goes to show you, like, he's here
to save his sister. And again, like, I can see
it now. Like, now that we're getting into the
actual game itself, seven episodes in. So, you
know. I'm like, all right, let's go. So they
have a game plan. That's kind of what they're
going to go for. And through looking through
the Shikigami, they found the two players that
have 100 points or more. And there's two of them.
There's that Kashimo guy, the 400 -year sorcerer,
blue hair. I really, really like his character
design. I'm sure he's going to be a fucking dick.
But I really, I like it. So he and I think he's
in Colony 2 because that's where Hikari and Panda
are going to go because the angel sorcerer is
in Colony 2. Kashimo has to be in Colony 2. I
don't know if maybe they saw it on the list,
but they've got to be if they're both going.
Because Panda's going to go look for the angel,
which I think is a lot better choice than Hikari.
But Hikari's going to go fight Kashimo. And I
think because he's such a strong sorcerer. Kashimo,
I mean. That, like, this is the perfect, like,
um, setup. I might have missed something when
I watched the episode. Plus, I am a bit fucking
tired. So, um, I don't know. But, like, we know
he is foe because he's the one who created this
rule. And he has killed 40 people already. So,
I think that is probably why, um, Hikari is going
after him. And... Unfortunately, and I'm really
mad about this, Karara's not going. Karara's
staying, like, on the border. Because, and I
think, I'm pretty sure it was Hikari who brought
this up. Yuta's been in there, and I still don't
even know how he knew. Unless, you know, they
discussed it and it just wasn't shown. But, like,
Yuta apparently has been in the culling game.
Has not made contact. So, you know, there's most
likely no self -perception inside, like, the
barriers and in the, um, the colonies. So, you
know, their plan is to post Karara to keep tabs
on things. But, like, I don't really know how
Karara's supposed to... give that energy, um,
that information to them without entering the
culling game. It's, it's a little confusing,
but, but we'll see. After that, like we get to,
you know, so they're teaming up. So Panda and
Hakari are going to go do that deal. And then
Yuji and Fushiguro are about to go enter the,
uh, one of the colonies. And You know, Fushiguro
touches, like, the barrier and the Shikigami
of his own appears. And, again, they're sassy.
Like, they give you the spiel that they're supposed
to. Like, the rules, like, when Kashimo had added
that rule. Very, like, official and to the point
and explaining, like, what the player just did.
But I guess, you know, they describe themselves
as the player's liaison. So they kind of are
like a little bit of a free spirit. So, you know,
when he's like, oh, do you want me to tell you
the rules? Fushiguro's like, nah, I'm good. And
the face and the exasperation this little Shikigami
guy did was adorable. So, like, I'm really happy
they're not a, like, Tony Chopper kind of. situation
because I cannot especially if they're like you
know if they're going to be popping up all the
time I don't want to deal with that so when they
enter the colony they enter together however
they are immediately separated and you know we
we come to see Yuji just falling from the sky
by himself and Um, I think it's, I think Tengen's
the one like narrating, but they're explaining
that upon like entering, there's like a random
teleport, um, that sends you to one of like nine
locations. So, you know, Yuji's like falling
from the sky and they have this. like you see
this little like flashlight kind of like a like
an sos kind of marker and all of a sudden you
get an impact and ug has been impaled by like
this woman with and i didn't realize it like
at first um but she has like jetpack hair and
even though her hair is like the powerful element.
Um, she was taken down extremely easy. Like I
think he threw like a rock or something and I
think he might've just hit the hair. I'm not,
I'm not really sure, but her hubby or boyfriend
or whatever this dude is, he's like a little
helicopter man. Um, he's got like his hair turns
into like a helicopter. And again, these are
sharp. I mean, they, they can cause damage. He's
able to drill like into walls and through walls.
So, um, Yuji ends up, like, punching him in the
head. And it was a really cheap move. But to,
like, really put him out, he kicks him in the
nuts. And I was like, Yuji, really? Like, that's
what you did? It was not cool. And he ends up,
like... meeting somebody else who apparently
knows him. And I don't remember if I've seen
this guy. I believe he's just trying to trick
Yuji. But after those two are defeated, he was
like, you know, Itadori or whatever, and was
talking about, you know, being in school with
him. So, you know, he's trying to gain his trust.
And, you know, we cut to Fushiguro and he's fighting.
I think her name was Remy. Or was his or was
his name Remy? They were both with an R. I think
her name was Remy. And oh, and his name was Rin.
OK, yeah, that's right. So Remy, who knows what
she's got planned? We didn't really see much.
of anything. Um, I mean, from what we know, she
attacked Fushiguro, but, like, she's got a bruise
on her face, and even though she's the one that
started it, she's playing victim, and, you know,
they are looking for, um, oh, the other, the
other person with the hundred points, I think
his name is Hiromi? Um, Hiromi, Hiromi, and,
um, You know, he's got points, but he hasn't
added any rules. So I think he is their best
shot. And that is who Yuji and Fushiguro are
looking for. So sorry about that. I forgot to
say that before I went on. you know, they end
up walking and, you know, he's like, this is
who I'm looking for. And he was like, okay. So
they're both being led to go meet this person.
And, um, you know, Hiromi and, and this is where
it's like, they got to give you a fucking cliffhanger.
They show both of them at the same time, telling
them two different areas. I'm like, I'm like,
are you kidding me? Okay. So, and they both look
mischievous and evil. So chances are that they're
both traps. And like I said, the episode ended
there. So at least we are finally getting into
the Culling Games part of the Culling Games.
I think it has been long enough. Like I said,
there's a lot more characters I want to meet
that we aren't going to meet until this gets
going. So that is my recap and take on season
three, episode seven. So hopefully you enjoyed
and until next time, I'll see you then.
