Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 Episode 17 Re-Release: What To Expect?
Episodes 17, 18, 19, and 20 of Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 will be played in theaters, with the promised extra cuts. Itsuki Tsuchigami, who worked on the animation for the Sukuna versus Mahoraga fight, has indicated that Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 Episode 17 would be a “step above” the fandom’s expectations! The animator has asked fans of Jujutsu Kaisen to purchase the Blu-ray edition to see the surprising modifications that were earlier deleted from the TV version.
While Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 Episode 17 garnered some harsh criticism, it remained one of the most popular episodes among fans. According to several fans, the animations were incomprehensible, and as a result, many of them found themselves unable to grasp what was happening during the Mahoraga versus Sukuna battle.
The fans have complained that they failed to understand how the domains were working while the fight was on and were quite disappointed with the animation style, even though some of the most talented animators worked on this particular episode. The animators have promised this fight will be extended and while the entire episode may not be fixable, the fans have been promised that the required corrections will be made.
Final Thoughts:
Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 Episode 17 drew mixed reactions when it was released. While the animators worked relentlessly on the episode, some fans felt that they failed to convey their complete thought process into the animation, which the animators agreed to later on! Mappa Animations got several condemns for how they treated its animators which also resulted in a drop in the quality of the episodes. Now that the animators can finally pour their feelings into Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 Episode 17, which also brings out their joy, it shows how dedicated they are to their profession!
