00:00:04.679 --> 00:00:08.179
Hello and welcome. You are listening to the After

00:00:08.179 --> 00:00:12.960
Hours Arc, your new anime podcast. My name is

00:00:12.960 --> 00:00:17.260
Antai. I will be your host. And welcome back

00:00:17.260 --> 00:00:21.679
after a week -long hiatus from Jujutsu Kaisen.

00:00:22.059 --> 00:00:26.000
I am so happy to be back with another Season

00:00:26.000 --> 00:00:29.559
3 recap show. Today's episode is going to be

00:00:29.559 --> 00:00:33.509
about Episode 8. Tokyo Colony number one part

00:00:33.509 --> 00:00:37.270
two and I figure I'm just gonna jump right into

00:00:37.270 --> 00:00:39.929
it I'm gonna save any maintenance and shows I'm

00:00:39.929 --> 00:00:42.689
watching for the end so if you care for that

00:00:42.689 --> 00:00:45.929
hang out to the end of the video and see what

00:00:45.929 --> 00:00:49.329
I'm watching and what I'm into and what's gonna

00:00:49.329 --> 00:00:52.329
be coming next and if you just want this then

00:00:52.329 --> 00:00:58.380
let's do it so the scene starts with This guy

00:00:58.380 --> 00:01:01.880
speaking to the police, right? And, you know,

00:01:01.899 --> 00:01:05.000
the vibe I got was his biggest concern was his

00:01:05.000 --> 00:01:08.219
cat. I didn't really know what was going on at

00:01:08.219 --> 00:01:11.400
first. It was a little confusing. And again,

00:01:11.519 --> 00:01:15.219
I didn't watch episode seven and then this. Like,

00:01:15.239 --> 00:01:17.359
I literally haven't watched it the whole week.

00:01:17.459 --> 00:01:21.540
It hasn't been on. So I wasn't really sure what

00:01:21.540 --> 00:01:25.180
this was going to turn out to be. We cut to finding

00:01:25.180 --> 00:01:29.120
out that like two people, a young girl and her

00:01:29.120 --> 00:01:31.519
mother were found stabbed to death in their own

00:01:31.519 --> 00:01:35.280
home. And, you know, right away we are getting

00:01:35.280 --> 00:01:39.420
really dark in the first couple of minutes of

00:01:39.420 --> 00:01:43.299
the opening scene, you know, and this guy is

00:01:43.299 --> 00:01:46.480
getting charged with murder and robbery. I believe

00:01:46.480 --> 00:01:50.599
his name was Keita, I think. I'm not entirely

00:01:50.599 --> 00:01:55.140
sure, but. You know, he keeps denying it. And

00:01:55.140 --> 00:01:57.620
I mean, all the evidence is pointing to him.

00:01:57.680 --> 00:02:02.000
They found a weapon that had DNA. You know, again,

00:02:02.079 --> 00:02:04.840
we're going to cut back into the office where,

00:02:04.920 --> 00:02:09.280
you know, I think this guy is a lawyer and it's

00:02:09.280 --> 00:02:14.300
Higuruma. And he is going on about how Keita's

00:02:14.300 --> 00:02:18.800
job is, you know, he helps the elderly. And I

00:02:18.800 --> 00:02:21.599
guess they don't pay him and they barely supply

00:02:21.599 --> 00:02:24.740
him with like the bare minimum of like food.

00:02:25.419 --> 00:02:29.719
And on top of that, they also collect 50 ,000

00:02:29.719 --> 00:02:32.800
yen a month from him for rent. So I guess the

00:02:32.800 --> 00:02:35.500
place that he works at has some pretty insane

00:02:35.500 --> 00:02:39.400
rules. Like they said that you can't call cops

00:02:39.400 --> 00:02:44.319
or any ambulances. So that sort of explains why

00:02:44.319 --> 00:02:49.550
he's had those weapons still. I don't think he's

00:02:49.550 --> 00:02:52.569
the one who killed them. Again, it was a little

00:02:52.569 --> 00:02:55.789
confusing. But, you know, again, he was the subject.

00:02:56.169 --> 00:03:00.449
Higurama is the focus and the focal. So this

00:03:00.449 --> 00:03:05.210
is our backstory for Higurama. And, you know,

00:03:05.229 --> 00:03:07.870
again, he is like this lawyer. I think he's a

00:03:07.870 --> 00:03:10.030
defense attorney or something like that. Criminal

00:03:10.030 --> 00:03:13.870
justice. I'm not entirely sure which law. But,

00:03:13.909 --> 00:03:18.110
you know, he's got this crazy stare. You know,

00:03:18.110 --> 00:03:21.050
we go to him winning the first case and, you

00:03:21.050 --> 00:03:24.129
know, Keita is so appreciative. You know, it's

00:03:24.129 --> 00:03:28.270
a little emotional. He's thanking him for believing

00:03:28.270 --> 00:03:31.389
in him, you know, and then we get to the second

00:03:31.389 --> 00:03:36.069
trial or the appeal trial. And, you know, as

00:03:36.069 --> 00:03:40.969
we go on into these scenes, it seems that this

00:03:40.969 --> 00:03:43.969
whole trial was designed for a guilty verdict

00:03:43.969 --> 00:03:48.270
right from the start. But as we go on into the

00:03:48.270 --> 00:03:53.530
scenes, it seems that this whole trial was designed

00:03:53.530 --> 00:03:57.030
for a guilty verdict right from the start. And,

00:03:57.150 --> 00:03:59.610
you know, we cut to him being asked about his

00:03:59.610 --> 00:04:02.210
mental state by like one of his co -workers.

00:04:02.849 --> 00:04:06.030
And, you know, I don't remember her name, but,

00:04:06.030 --> 00:04:10.629
you know, he's explaining that he doesn't want

00:04:10.629 --> 00:04:13.509
to brush away the hands that are clinging to

00:04:13.509 --> 00:04:17.259
him for help. So, you know, he says that he wants

00:04:17.259 --> 00:04:21.040
to keep his eyes open at least. And, you know,

00:04:21.120 --> 00:04:25.399
Higuruma starts whacking this gavel off the table.

00:04:25.920 --> 00:04:29.819
And, you know, it created this creepy Kersh,

00:04:29.819 --> 00:04:33.819
Shikigami. I'm not really entirely sure exactly

00:04:33.819 --> 00:04:36.720
what it was. And I'm not even sure if he knows

00:04:36.720 --> 00:04:42.079
that he did it. I believe that he is just awoken

00:04:42.079 --> 00:04:48.250
as a sorcerer. So, you know, after this, we cut

00:04:48.250 --> 00:04:51.790
back to where we ended episode seven with, with,

00:04:51.790 --> 00:04:55.470
you know, Remy and Ren, each leading Yuji and

00:04:55.470 --> 00:05:01.470
Fushiguro to a different location. So we end

00:05:01.470 --> 00:05:04.569
up seeing this long haired, blonde, shirtless

00:05:04.569 --> 00:05:07.269
guy. And, you know, he's pretty much saying,

00:05:07.389 --> 00:05:09.550
where is this girl? You know, she's supposed

00:05:09.550 --> 00:05:14.160
to be bringing me my next victim. basically Fushiguro.

00:05:14.800 --> 00:05:19.680
And, you know, we cut back to Rin. And again,

00:05:19.839 --> 00:05:24.600
this episode was very back and forth. And I found

00:05:24.600 --> 00:05:29.720
it very entertaining. I didn't find my attention

00:05:29.720 --> 00:05:32.560
got lost. I was able to keep up pretty well.

00:05:32.740 --> 00:05:36.300
They did a really, really good job. And they're

00:05:36.300 --> 00:05:39.019
probably going to do a better job of cutting

00:05:39.019 --> 00:05:41.560
back and forth, then I'm going to be explaining

00:05:41.560 --> 00:05:45.480
it. So I do apologize for that. But we do cut

00:05:45.480 --> 00:05:50.199
back to Rin's flashback. And, you know, he and

00:05:50.199 --> 00:05:53.259
a group are jumping some kid. And, you know,

00:05:53.279 --> 00:05:54.839
I don't even know who the guy getting jumped

00:05:54.839 --> 00:05:58.519
is. I don't think it matters because we end up

00:05:58.519 --> 00:06:02.620
seeing Yuji show up in this flashback. And Yuji's

00:06:02.620 --> 00:06:04.899
from like his middle school era, apparently.

00:06:05.819 --> 00:06:09.620
And, you know, so that is how we know Ren. So,

00:06:09.639 --> 00:06:13.079
you know, I wasn't sure if he actually knew him

00:06:13.079 --> 00:06:17.560
or if it was just a trap. But, you know, it looks

00:06:17.560 --> 00:06:19.639
like it's going to be a little bit of both. So,

00:06:19.660 --> 00:06:23.339
you know, he at least he either grew up around

00:06:23.339 --> 00:06:27.000
him or at least went to school with him. Again,

00:06:27.259 --> 00:06:30.500
I don't actually know how much deeper the bonds

00:06:30.500 --> 00:06:34.470
could be. But. Anyways, getting away from that,

00:06:34.610 --> 00:06:38.329
we go back to Remy and Fushiguro. And, you know,

00:06:38.370 --> 00:06:41.870
they seem to be heading towards her base. And,

00:06:41.930 --> 00:06:44.509
you know, while they're on the way to that base,

00:06:44.810 --> 00:06:48.110
Yuji and Ren have appeared in front of a theater,

00:06:48.250 --> 00:06:53.069
which I guess is Higurama's base. And, of course,

00:06:53.129 --> 00:06:55.750
you know, Yuji's all, thanks for your help. You

00:06:55.750 --> 00:06:59.329
know, all buddy -buddy, not even realizing, like,

00:06:59.389 --> 00:07:03.519
how much of a setup this could be. It's so adorable

00:07:03.519 --> 00:07:07.839
how naive he can be. But we go back to Remy and

00:07:07.839 --> 00:07:12.399
Fushiguro and then we meet Reggie. And I don't

00:07:12.399 --> 00:07:14.639
even know what this dude is wearing. I think

00:07:14.639 --> 00:07:18.439
there's just all scraps of paper. I'm not entirely

00:07:18.439 --> 00:07:22.060
sure. But, you know, he says that Remy must have

00:07:22.060 --> 00:07:25.459
deceived him. And, you know, of course, Fushiguro

00:07:25.459 --> 00:07:29.290
shoots back these dagger eyes. And, you know,

00:07:29.310 --> 00:07:31.870
right away, I think he's going to fight Reggie.

00:07:32.449 --> 00:07:35.509
And again, they just keep going back and forth

00:07:35.509 --> 00:07:39.089
between the Yuji and Fushiguro scenes so smoothly.

00:07:39.329 --> 00:07:42.490
Because now we're back with Yuji and he's inside

00:07:42.490 --> 00:07:46.129
the theater and we see Higuruma and he's laying

00:07:46.129 --> 00:07:49.290
in a bathtub, fully clothed. And, you know, he's

00:07:49.290 --> 00:07:53.050
asking Yuji if he has ever taken a bath while

00:07:53.050 --> 00:07:56.329
in his clothes. And you know, of course, Yuji

00:07:56.329 --> 00:07:59.170
responds, never, because, I mean, who does this?

00:07:59.889 --> 00:08:03.310
And Higurama was saying that, you know, it feels

00:08:03.310 --> 00:08:06.910
better than he expected it to. I guess he's been

00:08:06.910 --> 00:08:10.170
challenging himself to try new things, or try

00:08:10.170 --> 00:08:13.470
things he assumed he shouldn't do. He's talking

00:08:13.470 --> 00:08:16.550
about how he's basically gone off the rails after

00:08:16.550 --> 00:08:20.639
hitting his mid -thirties, which, I mean... That

00:08:20.639 --> 00:08:22.860
is extremely fucking relatable. Me too, bro.

00:08:23.040 --> 00:08:27.439
Me too. But, you know, he's so funny because

00:08:27.439 --> 00:08:30.639
Yuji tells him that he wants to talk to him.

00:08:31.199 --> 00:08:33.799
And, you know, he tells Yuji that talking to

00:08:33.799 --> 00:08:38.259
him will cost him a consolation fee of 5 ,000

00:08:38.259 --> 00:08:41.539
yen every half an hour. You know, and of course

00:08:41.539 --> 00:08:44.139
he's kidding, but I thought it was kind of a

00:08:44.139 --> 00:08:48.759
funny joke. And, you know... He says he just

00:08:48.759 --> 00:08:51.720
wanted to try acting like a nasty lawyer for

00:08:51.720 --> 00:08:55.440
once and, you know, laughs about it. Again, I

00:08:55.440 --> 00:08:58.279
feel bad for him and his mental state right now.

00:08:59.340 --> 00:09:03.179
But, you know, we go back to Reggie, who wants

00:09:03.179 --> 00:09:07.559
to work with Fushiguro. And Remy is so confused

00:09:07.559 --> 00:09:12.860
and a little concerned because this was not part

00:09:12.860 --> 00:09:16.289
of the plan, I guess. At least that's not how

00:09:16.289 --> 00:09:19.570
it seems to her. Like, she is sweating. And,

00:09:19.669 --> 00:09:22.690
you know, Reggie asks him if he knows Kenjaku.

00:09:23.370 --> 00:09:28.909
And again, cut to Yuji. You know, Yuji is telling

00:09:28.909 --> 00:09:33.250
him that they want a 100 -point rule to try to

00:09:33.250 --> 00:09:36.269
negate some of the killing that's happening.

00:09:36.809 --> 00:09:41.950
And Higurama says that he refuses. So apparently...

00:09:42.960 --> 00:09:46.940
He senses potential in the culling game. And,

00:09:46.960 --> 00:09:49.919
you know, he's starting to talk about how sometimes

00:09:49.919 --> 00:09:53.960
the law is powerless. But, you know, what about

00:09:53.960 --> 00:09:56.799
the rules of the culling game? You know, if the

00:09:56.799 --> 00:10:01.080
power that he has been granted is real, then

00:10:01.080 --> 00:10:04.960
those rules must be too. And it really almost

00:10:04.960 --> 00:10:07.399
sounds like he's getting a little bit power hungry.

00:10:08.539 --> 00:10:12.529
And go back to Reggie. Who is talking about how

00:10:12.529 --> 00:10:16.309
Fushiguro, I guess, has just said something about

00:10:16.309 --> 00:10:20.809
players' cursed energy. But he thinks that that's

00:10:20.809 --> 00:10:25.230
probably a bluff. Or, like, more of a plan B.

00:10:25.450 --> 00:10:28.889
And he has three reasons for this. The first

00:10:28.889 --> 00:10:32.389
reason being the number of players. The second

00:10:32.389 --> 00:10:36.110
reason being the strength gap between the players.

00:10:37.000 --> 00:10:39.980
And then the third reason being the barrier rules.

00:10:40.419 --> 00:10:46.559
So he's explaining that if like a thousand people

00:10:46.559 --> 00:10:50.019
were split up evenly between the 10 colonies,

00:10:50.100 --> 00:10:53.740
that that would be like a hundred per colony.

00:10:53.840 --> 00:10:58.019
But among those players are sorcerers like Kashimo

00:10:58.019 --> 00:11:01.960
and Higuruma. So, you know, they are much stronger

00:11:01.960 --> 00:11:04.980
than the other players. And I mean, you know,

00:11:05.000 --> 00:11:08.179
I guess those two alone have already culled 60

00:11:08.179 --> 00:11:11.360
sorcerers. And I mean, there's probably someone

00:11:11.360 --> 00:11:15.220
like them in each colony. So, you know, basically

00:11:15.220 --> 00:11:19.259
the wheat get weeded out early on and the culling

00:11:19.259 --> 00:11:22.960
game will reach some sort of stalemate. So Reggie

00:11:22.960 --> 00:11:26.379
adds that if he really was trying to use the

00:11:26.379 --> 00:11:29.399
player's cursed energy, he would want the greatest

00:11:29.399 --> 00:11:32.500
number of sorcerers to fight for the longest

00:11:32.500 --> 00:11:38.460
time. So again, cut back to Yuji and Higurama,

00:11:38.559 --> 00:11:41.940
who it seems that, you know, he just wants to

00:11:41.940 --> 00:11:45.679
watch over the system. He says that he really

00:11:45.679 --> 00:11:48.600
wants to witness the stripping of a technique

00:11:48.600 --> 00:11:51.000
that, you know, is mentioned in rule number two

00:11:51.000 --> 00:11:54.039
and eight. And he wants to witness this at least

00:11:54.039 --> 00:11:57.059
once. And, you know, Yuji is trying to remind

00:11:57.059 --> 00:12:00.659
him that, you know, this is a ritual. And if

00:12:00.659 --> 00:12:03.500
they take too long, that every person in this

00:12:03.500 --> 00:12:08.120
nation is going to die. But Higurama disagrees.

00:12:08.120 --> 00:12:12.179
You know, he says that the calling game insists

00:12:12.179 --> 00:12:16.580
on its own performance. So, you know, now we're

00:12:16.580 --> 00:12:19.659
about to fight because Yuji wants those 100 points.

00:12:19.740 --> 00:12:23.480
And, you know, Higurama is clearly not getting

00:12:23.480 --> 00:12:28.039
this. So, you know, he ends up using a domain

00:12:28.039 --> 00:12:31.679
expansion. called Deadly Sentencing, like right

00:12:31.679 --> 00:12:35.039
off the rip. And before I could even get excited

00:12:35.039 --> 00:12:38.600
about it, we cut back to Reggie, Remy, and Fushiguro.

00:12:39.200 --> 00:12:42.299
And, you know, Reggie is saying how the rules

00:12:42.299 --> 00:12:47.059
idea of continuation is just a cover. You know,

00:12:47.059 --> 00:12:50.120
he thinks that the real plan is, you know, when

00:12:50.120 --> 00:12:53.860
only the strong remain, Kenjaku is going to drop

00:12:53.860 --> 00:12:58.440
some sort of bomb on the game. And then the calling

00:12:58.440 --> 00:13:02.860
game will fulfill its purpose. You know, so we

00:13:02.860 --> 00:13:06.200
then cut to Kenjaku, who is like meeting with

00:13:06.200 --> 00:13:09.539
some important people. And, you know, thanks.

00:13:09.720 --> 00:13:14.139
He thanks them for inviting him there. And, you

00:13:14.139 --> 00:13:17.740
know, the episode ends. So I really don't know

00:13:17.740 --> 00:13:20.259
what's going on there. Obviously, there's always

00:13:20.259 --> 00:13:23.200
somebody pulling strings. But like that was a

00:13:23.200 --> 00:13:27.039
pretty tense episode. for there being such minimal

00:13:27.039 --> 00:13:31.620
fighting. You know, I think the tone set really

00:13:31.620 --> 00:13:36.480
make you feel that the stakes are so high. And,

00:13:36.539 --> 00:13:40.659
you know, Higurama might be one of the most dangerous

00:13:40.659 --> 00:13:44.139
types of characters in this series that we're

00:13:44.139 --> 00:13:46.659
going to see, or at least in this season. And

00:13:46.659 --> 00:13:49.019
I think that's because, you know, of course he's

00:13:49.019 --> 00:13:52.679
intelligent, but like he's also a bit disillusioned

00:13:52.679 --> 00:13:57.210
right now. And he is newly empowered. You know,

00:13:57.230 --> 00:14:01.529
he wants to see what happens when rules are absolute.

00:14:01.730 --> 00:14:04.610
Because again, you know, when he was in his lawyer

00:14:04.610 --> 00:14:09.529
phase, the law meant nothing. So, you know, this

00:14:09.529 --> 00:14:12.289
is going to be very interesting to see. I am

00:14:12.289 --> 00:14:15.990
so excited to see what his domain expansion actually

00:14:15.990 --> 00:14:20.190
entails. I cannot wait for the next episode.

00:14:22.940 --> 00:14:27.379
That was episode eight of season three. I think

00:14:27.379 --> 00:14:32.220
that's all I have for this recap. Again, I record

00:14:32.220 --> 00:14:35.559
and upload recaps every Friday after the newest

00:14:35.559 --> 00:14:40.840
episodes on Thursday. Plus, I record maybe Monday

00:14:40.840 --> 00:14:44.559
or Tuesday. I don't have a definite second recording

00:14:44.559 --> 00:14:47.360
day just because we're this one so consistent.

00:14:47.879 --> 00:14:50.460
I'm not sure. When I get to it, we get to it.

00:14:50.480 --> 00:14:54.750
It's a bonus. But I did finish the Master of

00:14:54.750 --> 00:14:58.330
Diabolism. So I'll be done bringing that up until

00:14:58.330 --> 00:15:03.889
my BL episode. And I am watching the Wan version.

00:15:04.049 --> 00:15:07.070
I wish it was longer than five minute clips.

00:15:07.350 --> 00:15:11.750
It's really adorable. And I got into the Fate

00:15:11.750 --> 00:15:18.470
series. So I am almost done with Fate. Stay Night.

00:15:18.570 --> 00:15:22.860
The Unlimited Blades. So I've been putting together

00:15:22.860 --> 00:15:28.100
my review and take on that. So I did Google to

00:15:28.100 --> 00:15:31.039
make sure that I am watching it in the correct

00:15:31.039 --> 00:15:34.980
order because I do not want spoilers. I do not

00:15:34.980 --> 00:15:38.759
want to be confused. I want to try to have a

00:15:38.759 --> 00:15:41.700
better understanding of it as it's going. So

00:15:41.700 --> 00:15:45.320
unfortunately, this is probably one of the shortest

00:15:45.320 --> 00:15:48.899
episodes I am going to have. Again, we didn't

00:15:48.899 --> 00:15:51.879
have a lot of action. It was really a lot of

00:15:51.879 --> 00:15:56.279
the groundwork being laid down, I believe. And

00:15:56.279 --> 00:15:59.379
again, I think it's only a matter of time before

00:15:59.379 --> 00:16:04.840
the season really amps up. So I think it's a

00:16:04.840 --> 00:16:09.759
little strategic to give us some slower, easier

00:16:09.759 --> 00:16:13.360
to follow paced episodes, because again, it's

00:16:13.360 --> 00:16:17.259
about to get real. I am so excited for the Kashimo

00:16:17.259 --> 00:16:22.019
and Hikari fight. Like, I'm not sure if that'll

00:16:22.019 --> 00:16:24.460
be the next episode, maybe the episode after

00:16:24.460 --> 00:16:28.279
that. Now that we're back on schedule, I just

00:16:28.279 --> 00:16:31.740
can't wait. So that is what I have. Thank you

00:16:31.740 --> 00:16:35.080
for tuning in. Until next time, I'll see you

00:16:35.080 --> 00:16:35.240
then.
