You're listening to The After Hours Arc, your
new anime podcast. My name is Antai, and I'll
be your host. Join me as I review, recap, and
relive anime, one arc at a time. And as always,
these are all manga -free point of views. For
today's episode, welcome back to another Jujutsu
Kaisen Season 3 Recap. Today's episode is about
episode 10, Tokyo Colony number 1, part 4. And
I was really excited to get into this episode
because the last episode was so good. It had
my attention the whole episode. I loved that
it was Higuruma and Yuji and just them. So I
had a feeling we were going to be going back
to Fushiguro, Reggie, and Remy. And we pick up
where we were in episode 8's discussion. How
they were discussing the idea of continuation
being just a front. And it seemed like he was
trying to recruit Fushiguro. I still couldn't
figure out what that dude was wearing in the
beginning. I knew it had to do with his technique.
I just couldn't figure it out until it was literally
spelled out for me, which this episode does.
So there's that. We have Fushiguro asking Reggie
if him and his allies together have at least
100 points. And of course, Reggie says yes. Now
Fushiguro is ready to throw down. He started
to tell Reggie there's going to be a new rule
added soon that will let the players transfer
points. He tells Regi to hand over his points
and he's got Demon Dog out. We are ready to go.
I was so excited. I love all of his Shikigami.
Out of nowhere though, this dude with claws tries
to get Fushiguro. He's too slow though. Fushiguro
seems to vanish and was just lurking in the shadows.
He throws this dude off the balcony while he's
about to go after Regi. this glowing eyeball
of fire appears in the sky. Reggie and Remy knew
exactly what it was because they ducked down.
It caused this massive explosion and we meet
another character, Hazanoki, I believe his name
is. Fushigura runs into a room to try to protect
himself from the explosion. In the process, he
ended up saving Remy as well. He is trying to
break this naive bubble this girl is in. She
is absolutely crazy though. All she wants is
to be protected. That was the whole reason she
was working with Reggie in the first place. He
ends up shooting her this look. It was a straight
up Toji face. I was here for it. He starts to
say, sometimes you run into scumbags like you
who are all talk and no action. It was such an
intense scene. The dude he ended up throwing
off the balcony shows back up as he does that
Shikigami Kogami. He shows up and explains that
a new rule has been added. This is going to be
rule number 10. This rule allows players to be
able to transfer a number of points to a player
of their choosing. The other guys seem so confused
by that. But before I could think further, We
just have Fushiguro sword fighting out of nowhere.
I don't even know where he picked this up. He
also ends up using these like frog shikigami.
He throws this dude off the building. But this
time we see Fushiguro jump out after him and
he starts throwing down hard. He did end up killing
him and I believe he earned five points. He doesn't
have long to relax though. Reggie and that Hazanoki
dude are still here. I didn't see Remy though.
I have no idea where she went. Now, Fushiguro
is definitely hurting from that first explosion.
He's considering using his domain, but I guess
it's still incomplete. And this Hazanoki dude
spits a tooth -like bomb at Fushiguro. Before
it hits him, this random dude who looks like
he's dressing up like a superhero steps in and
takes it straight to the face. I had the same
reaction as everybody. They were all just like,
what? Like, what just happened? He is alive.
And while the dust is settling, he starts calling
them out for fighting two versus one. He's calling
them cowards. And I mean, he himself definitely
has a few screws loose. His name, I believe,
is Takaba. I'm not sure if I'm pronouncing that
correctly. He's saying that he has no damage.
And he's obviously hurt. He's standing up and
gushing blood from his head. Bushiguro's face
was so funny in this. He's just like, who is
this dude? And went from having this Toji death
stare to almost breaking character. It seemed
like he had to turn away. It was a really funny
scene for me. My first impression is this dude
is just going to be a huge form of comedic relief.
That's my first impression. We'll see as the
series goes on, but that was the vibe I got.
We have him just standing there gushing blood,
saying he's not hurt at all. It did get a little
awkward. There was a lot of silence in this scene.
So apparently this guy is 35 years old and is
going to help Fushiguro and keeps calling him
young man. He was just saved by him. So it seems
like we can trust this dude for now. We also
have Reggie and Hazanoki who clearly have not
seen this dude before. Hazanoki is asking him
what type he is. I was assuming grade in sorcerer.
He thinks he's asking him if he's funny or not,
and he cuts him off, but it sounded like he was
correcting himself and was going to ask him what
era he was from. The dude goes on about his costume
that is apparently modeled after the hero who
first made him laugh. He's definitely not super
funny with actual jokes, although he did do this
Wi -Fi joke. I didn't think it was too bad. I
did chuckle. Everyone is so confused by this
dude. I mean, I was a little bit too, I'm not
gonna lie. He gets so mad though, calling them
a shitty audience and everything. He does end
up kicking that Hazenoki dude right in the face
and sends him flying. Apparently, he is this
old school entertainer who is absolutely pro
-violence. He reminds me of Toto a lot. That
was the vibe I kept getting in this episode.
I definitely enjoyed it. Fushiguro comes up out
of nowhere from the shadows with that sword thing
again, and he goes for Reggie. Fushiguro tells
that Takaba guy to try to steal Hazenoki's points
and to take care of him. The scenes were definitely
not what I was expecting. I do not like Hazenoki's
technique. He's using his teeth and eyeballs.
as like bombs and it grossed me out a little
bit I'm not gonna lie but Takaba sneaks up behind
him and as far as I know shoved his finger up
this dude's ass then proceeded to kick him across
the screen it was a very weird scene it's kind
of setting the tone for this character I really
don't know how to feel about him we have Reggie
and Fushiguro about to throw down though now
Apparently, since Yuji made that rule, Fushiguro
is done with this colony and will be able to
fight Reggie without holding back. Reggie did
seem a little nervous by this, and I feel like
he should be. His weird paper gown has to do
with his technique when he uses one of those
papers. At first, I thought whatever he wrote
down will appear. It turns out they're receipts,
and I'll get more into that in a minute. Fushiguro
knows what's up, though. and he uses his elephant
Shikigami to try to flood Reggie out. But he
must have used one of those papers, because a
surfboard appears, and he's just riding the waves.
This dude seems to be having way too much fun
at this point. He ends up dropping a fucking
piano on Fushiguro. He ends up using his rabbits
and avoids that whole mishap. Now we end up getting
to a church scene, and in this scene, that is
where I found out that those scraps of paper?
are actually receipts and Reggie can manifest
whatever's on it but there is more to it. Reggie
explained it like it was more like reenacting
contracts but he also did this one which was
contractual recreation and that apparently when
he uses it acts as a spa package. He is basically
completely healed and he is also able to read
Fushiguro's Shikigami patterns at this point.
Fushiguro decides to just take off and he runs
away with his owl. Of course, Reggie is going
to go after him and he ends up at some community
gymnasium. Inside, we end up having him and Fushiguro.
I'm assuming Fushiguro was going to try his incomplete
domain, but just as I was thinking that, two
box trucks crash through the side of the building,
and we have Fushiguro sliding underneath and
dodging. It was really satisfying to watch. Reggie
ends up hitting him with some potted plants,
and then launches so many items at him. It was
not looking good. He even got stabbed through
his arm with a chef knife, like through his arm.
It was brutal. We end up finding out that the
things Reggie can create are just like Shikigami,
and he can give them simple commands, like making
the knife fly. He wants Fushiguro's points, and
he says he'll give him an easy death if he gives
them to him. But Reggie is definitely underestimating
Fushiguro. Because our man starts using the gymnasium
space to deploy his domain. I was so excited
to see it. Even if it's not complete, I love
domain expansions. This domain is called Chimera
Shadow Garden. It was so amazing to watch. I
was really happy that it formed for him. But
the scene ends. So that is where the episode
leaves us. Of course. All in all, there was so
much going on within this episode. And I liked
most of it. I enjoy that we're getting this ally
character, Takaba. Not really sure what the deal
will be with Reggie moving forward. I'm glad
that I know what his paper gown dress thing is.
That was driving me crazy. So I'm glad I have
closure and understanding on that. Still don't
know where Remy is. And this cliffhanger has
me so ready for episode 11. I want to see this
all go down. This was a fantastic episode. Even
if I wasn't a big fan of some of the side characters,
all in all, I enjoyed it a lot. But that is my
take on this week's episode of Jujutsu Kaisen
season 3. As always, every Friday, I will be
uploading recap videos for the rest of this co
-op. As soon as that stops, the Witch Hat Atelier,
that new anime, is starting up. So I will be
recapping that as well. I am still working on
a couple other reviews in the mix. And I want
to thank you for tuning in and checking out this
episode. Hopefully you enjoyed it. Until next
time, I will see you then.
