Jujutsu Kaisen<\/p>\n
Crunchyroll<\/p>\n
While Jujutsu Kaisen has been a hugely popular anime for years now<\/a>, this week, it just hit an all-time high-water mark for many fans, and has set a review score record on IMDB from viewership.<\/p>\n Jujutsu Kaisen season 3 episode 4, Perfect Preparation, currently has a 9.8\/10 on IMDB<\/a>, which makes it the highest-rated episode of the series, but also tied along with several others for the spot as the second-highest-rated anime episode of any show on the site.<\/p>\n Plenty of Jujutsu Kaisen episodes have scored well, with big improvements in season 2, especially. Eight out of 52 episodes have a 9.6\/10, but Perfect Preparation rises above the rest. In terms of the larger list, a host of Attack on Titan episodes also have 9.8\/10 scores, as in, more than half a dozen. There are only three anime episodes with a 9.9\/10 on IMDB:<\/p>\n Vinland Saga, End of the Prologue \u2013 9.9\/10Avatar: The Last Airbender, Sozin\u2019s Comet Part 4 \u2013 9.9\/10Hunter X Hunter, Anger x and x Light \u2013 9.9\/10<\/p>\n Further voting could propel the episode of Jujutsu Kaisen higher than that. Without going into true spoilers, a big moment for Maki, a Kill Bill homage, excellent fight scenes and more. Interestingly, there has been some pushback in Japan about the episode, as they\u2019re not quite as on board with Western viewers\u2019 perceptions.<\/p>\n It’s also notable that this is just episode 4 of season 3, and it should be split into two parts of about 12 or 13 episodes each in the Culling Game arc. So there are plenty more opportunities for the show to top itself, or at least match the hype of this episode.<\/p>\n If you don\u2019t know what any of this means but want to get on the Jujutsu Kaisen train by catching up on 52 episodes, here\u2019s what the entire premise of the series is about:<\/p>\n \u201cYuji Itadori is a teenage boy who becomes the vessel for Ryomen Sukuna, a legendary and immensely powerful Jujutsu Sorcerer, after consuming one of his preserved fingers. To prevent Sukuna’s full resurrection and protect humanity, Itadori allies with an organization of Jujutsu Sorcerers. These sorcerers combat monstrous manifestations of negative human emotion, known as Curses, using a parallel energy source called Cursed Energy. Itadori’s mission is to locate and consume Sukuna’s remaining fingers to ultimately execute the Curse and himself, thereby averting a catastrophic threat to the world.\u201d<\/p>\n Got all that? Give it a shot if you want, and it\u2019s only 52 episodes to see what the hype about Perfect Preparation is about.<\/p>\n Follow me on Twitter<\/a> and YouTube<\/a>.<\/a><\/p>\n Pick up my sci-fi novels the Herokiller series<\/a> and The Earthborn Trilogy<\/a>.<\/p>\n
