This was unexpectedly dark and violent! Titled “Hidden Inventory Part 3”, Jujutsu Kaisen episode 3 begins with a lot of tension – bounty hunters kidnap Kuroi, the woman close to Amanai (Star Plasma Vessel). So, Suguru Geto and Satoru Gojo fly to Okinawa along with the young girl, to save the only person she considers family.

There’s a literal break in the episode, which provides a surprising shift in tone for the animation. It’s sunny, colorful, and for a moment, I thought I was watching “One Piece” due to the beach, red shirt, and yellow hat in a scene. The sorcerers and their ward treat themselves to some touristy stuff after fighting malevolent forces in Okinawa. Trust the flamboyant blue-eyed boy, Satoru, to turn a dangerous mission into a fun little holiday. However, the light-hearted scenes lull the viewer into complacency, and suddenly, without warning, the episode turns crazy bloody.
Episode three is definitely the strongest edition of season two so far, it will have viewers biting their nails in the second-half. The devious contract killer Toji Fushiguro is hellbent on annihilating the ‘Star Plasma Vessel’, and has no qualms about finishing off anyone who stands in his way. With the kind of build-up his character receives, Toji turns out to be quite a formidable antagonist.
Can Suguru Geto and Satoru Gojo continue to protect Amanai from the man who is scarily confident of clearing his path to success? Episode three is a rollercoaster ride of funny, scary, bloody, and emotional moments.
