Little correction 51:12. That sequence wasnt directed by bahi. Soty was AD here and the baords where drawn by maenami. Julian is a fantastic animator, looking forward what he'll do in the future

[@TheSiZaGaming]

hi goat_bm

[@-MankoMan]

Thanks for the correction! So I'm guessing Bahi's segment in the B part ends right after his wall running cut? I thought he boarded the few cuts afterwards as well, including your scene. That's exceptional work by Maenami, especially for his debut. If possible, could you let us know which cuts were Julian's exactly? I've always been curious about his cuts for this ep and Tanaka's CSM ep.

[@alibabarouge]

[@Papameme-rg3ig]

19:53 is peak animation analysis

[@ric12]

I cracked up to that part😂

[@lebyandsmartiel318]

The curious side of my brain will always wonder what even an average schedule would've done for this ep... It's gotta be one of the biggest what-ifs in my brain animation catalogue. It's strange, but also sad, what kind of results a desperate schedule can bring. To think a lot of these animators/staff just wouldn't have been here if not for the dire conditions that needed emergency assistance. Like you said with Go's appearance, we could've straight up not gotten Vincent in this ep... Great vid!

[@casmachinaa5223]

I think the floating buildings are actually just falling buildings, but because Sukuna and Mahoraga are fast mfs and it's from their pov, it makes the buildings seem like they are falling in slow motion (I think, this wasn't in the manga)

[@Mr.Q753]

90% of the stuff in this fight in the anime is not in the manga, the manga was like less then 10 pages

[@purple.hour.0]

I never imagined such a long video could be so entertaining. The amount of effort by all of the animators is just crazy work. My eyes are salivating by the sight of Shibuya as drawn and animated in most every scene. It's so insanely cool to see the step by step and every style used by all of the animators. Even switching between animators and their different animating styles is just so perfect and mesmerizing. Such an amazing fight!

[@first7120]

To answer your building question: They aren't floating, they're falling. Sukuna and mahoraga are ping ponging all throughout shibuya, leaving destruction behind them. What you're seeing is them having moved so fast that the aftermath of the earlier scenes, which had building being sliced into pieces and flung in the air, still happening even though they're in a completely different area already.

[@IInferno]

The ep 17 corrections make it essentially an extra episode, which is an incredible display of the animators talents and tenacity to complete their vision, it was incredible. I look forward to seeing them cook for S3.

[@johns407]

Bro i just noticed that detail rn, at 48:42 you Can literally see Mahoraga's face screaming in the smoke, Vincent IS him frrrrr

[@Venky19]

This is not a video i usually watch because I basically still don't get half of what he said in the video(my bad), but I could feel the love and respect you have for every single one of the animators on the episode and I just wanted to say - "Yeah that was probably an all-time episode"

[@-MankoMan]

Whatever it is that you didn't understand, feel free to ask!

[@exodus6273]

This is so crazy to see both as an animation and jjk fan, feel so blessed that such talented and passionate minds are working on this project

[@GabrielGarcia-mp3rf]

38:56 The floating buildings at the background shows how fast this whole fight really happening on real time.

[@kalabbishop7585]

I think the buildings floating in the air are the artists way of depicting just how fast these two are engaging.

[@anaalonso2760]

What a piece of art and what a video: "What I'm calling negative shadows: where the shadows are basically one with the background ","there is a limit to how good animation can be, breaking past that ceiling solely depends on how strong your imagination is"... You are making animation analysis an art in itself. Thank you very, very much for the video.❤

[@Saucenoat]

While weilin's sequence is bonkers,the animator who impressed me the most is julian bentley, the background animation in his cuts is geniunely ejaculation worthy

[@NotDIO123]

My personal favorite was Rui's cut

[@Saucenoat]

​@@NotDIO123 I loved his sukuna drawings

[@Washekk2712]

I love the amount of passion the animators had for this season, going back and adding scenes or correcting scene just show it

[@dhruvaggarwal9492]

I've been waiting on this video man. I wrote a comment on your reaction video for this episode basically begging for an analysis- you did not disappoint. 10/10 work mate. I wish more jjk content was coming out, but there is only so much I can wish for.

[@cineglasses]

A JJK video with an ONGBAL reference. W

[@RandomObsession]

Also another cool thing to note was how well Weilin's sequence conveys Sukuna as a character. Sukuna is delighted at the end when Mahorage finally learns how to feint because he has taught the "Divine General" a "lie" through making him feint.

[@Dephlazgmatus]

This was an episode for the ages, so obviously it deserves an analysis for the ages from Mankoman!

[@spookytown7963]

Does bro NEVER miss with the music choice? Manko legit just only likes fire songs so consistently, I'm hard

agreed, i'm always like how do you even find this stuff. he has great taste for sure.

[@masonfason8925]

58:24 idk why im only now putting these two pieces of info together but i actually went to the same highschool as curie lu. there was some sort of talent show going on and her presantation table had a big projector that cycled thru a bunch of her very early animation pieces, some of which i dont think she even put into her portfolio. her animation to the song Flowers by In Love With a Ghost really stuck out to me. i even left a comment on the video 5 years ago bragging that i knew her.

[@MindsEye]

A new mankoman video means another great day for info dump. Always appreciate the work you do man, even if you made the 9999th JJK analysis video 😜 20:53 Also the fact that Weilin Zhang is the equivalent of 13 animators is absolutely insane...

[@themightyjagrafess8596]

Amazing stuff as always, and the ADR walkthrough of zhang’s storyboard was a really good addition. Committed to putting out only the highest quality of breakdown

[@itsyaboyb9839]

27:04 What’s really charismatic about Sukuna’s CD, to me, is an allusion to Spider-Man’s suit’s eye proportions/styling

[@JLA_TM]

Yes! Something to watch while I animate!

[@bluevortexpng1211]

weilin's cut at 35:20 where sukuna dances around mahoraga reminded me a lot of his cut in the hades animated trailer where zagreus dodges and weaves as he fights against the bone hydra. just the perspective and the fluidity in the animation, it's so impressive

[@Malik19Rencher]

With what I'm hearing of how last minute and urgent this episode was, imagine how fire season 3 would be with a good schedule

[@semekiizuio]

I pray 🙏 corporate won't f up again. This is making them huge money already but they are so f greedy they'll probably make it much worse for their employees 😭 please give animators time to make Season 3 amazing Mappa please 🙏

According to news a Juju fest is going to happen on 25th August and some sources are saying we can get the release date so the Seshimo team is in hell 💀

Hands down the best animated fight of this decade yet.

[@GerardoRodriguez-dn3zn]

Thank you so much for doing all this MankoMan. I’ve learned a lot from this

[@Jokin_Jake]

38:23 I think the reason why they kept the floating buildings is to show how fast they are moving. The fight is moving so fast that the buildings haven't even had time to fall back down after Sukuna sliced them.

[@sahilbankar99]

1 hour 5 minutes 31 seconds well spent one shot. Always a beautiful day when beautiful mankoman appears.

[@NotDIO123]

It's here 🎉. Thank you Mankoman , I know you're working hard behind the scenes irl and it means a lot that you take time out of day(s) to make content for us.

[@alvaromunozestrada1643]

Glad to see you back Manko Man!

[@violenced6710]

My personal theory for floating buildings is that they’re both just so incredibly fast that the buildings look almost still.

[@tamatebako_yt]

yeah my best guess as well. we can see at the end of the episode when Sukuna drops off Megumi with Ieri and Yaga he's moving so fast it looks like he's teleporting (as far as we know the only character who can actually teleport is Gojo). but it's still confusing bc during the fight they affect the environment in real time so idk the physics of this lol.

[@suyash4583]

I didn't notice the transparent shadows before this video. It looks so cool!!

[@dansaavedra3808]

Hi, excellent video, but one small detail is that you forgot to mention the Sou Miyazaki cuts in the Weilin segment

[@Situpx]

Goes to show how rigged the industry is.

[@simeonish]

Bro congrats aon 10k🎉

[@kapilpal4864]

How episode 16 and 17 were made can be compared to Captain america vs thanos being episode 16 with Miso being Captain america and Thanos being Otsuka having his weapon of deadline and getting his ass beaten by Miso and then he's extremely tired and then portal scene happens which is episode 17. Miso standing alone and hakuyu go appears to help him and then evryone comes one after the another. (Vincent chansard is the 60ft tall ant man) 😂😂😂😂

I just had a thought: What if studios now after seeing the success of the jjk blu-ray make animators add extra scenes to other blu rays? Will this ever happen? Probably not but hey, chances aren't zero.

[@nuggyfresh6430]

It's strange what brings out human greatness. I couldn't tell you the secret sauce, but I can say that we've gone VERY far away from it, conceptually, as a species. But occasionally, human greatness is achieved due to nothing more than the endless effort of a handful of people. It's too bad we can't get too much of that on a more grand human scale, but I'll take what we can get. Beautiful stuff. Regardless, a fragment of that truth is discovered by understanding the chaos of chance. I am fairly convinced that this would NOT have happened if they had more time. It's really when human ingenuity is taken to its logical extremes, that you can get this kind of thing, like a flower sprouting in a sidewalk against all odds. It's somewhat dizzying to consider, that these moments are created from whole cloth and not planned. But I'm glad they happen. In a way, it proves that all we can do is throw ourselves to chance and hope.

[@Byakkoya11037]

This episode blew me away the first time I saw it, then sucked me back in with the blu-ray. This episode made me want to learn how to animate. Damn near masterpiece :D

[@holloify_tensa_zangetsu]

BLU-Ray of TYBW was the same. They team was having fun and animators werent fixing things that were good...but they themselves felt unsure. So I LOVE that TLC iam musician i had a audition the day AFTER i was asked. 4 songs in less then 24 hrs. They were blown away by it...hell i wass to. But if i could i redo untill i love it

[@DeltaPiss]

Not sure if you script your videos, but you've gotten really good with segways and setting up and connecting various topics together

[@-MankoMan]

Just gotten better at recording videos hopefully. That's also partly the reason it takes me so much longer to make these. But yes, I do make basic outlines of what I want to say but without the specifics cause I don't want to sound robotic, plus I need to look at the camera and not the screen.

I thoroughly believe that if this episode was given ample time and a better schedule, it would have shook the entire world of the entertainment industry on a global scale. It would be hailed by all as the most royally unparalleled piece of media in the current 21st century, with no exaggeration in the slightest.

[@kubikim]

PLEASE I swear to god I pray to thge GODS for season 3 to be given more care to the staff, because, I know this is a very low possibility, but if this kind of episode happens ever again in jjk, then mappa MUST give them the freedom and time to make what they want to make, because I genuinely believe that if this kind of episode ever occurs again in the future and the people behind it are given the treatment they deserve, it will mark itself in the memories of the denizens of the world as the GREATEST PIECE OF ENTERTAINMENT OF ALL TIME, and change 2d animation FOREVER!!! I KNOW IT WILL!!!!

[@mahim1875]

I was watching like 20 mins in. I noticed THE BACKGROUND

[@meatmantheartguy618]

at 27:37 I think it's more likely that Maho was trying to throw his hand when Sukuna cuts it, as mentioned in the Weilin storyboard (and repeated two other times in the fight). It wasn't very clearly shown, but it is possible bc u can see Sukuna getting punched in the face when you go frame by frame. And coincidentally the next time Maho does the arm swing Sukuna cuts his head instead of arm.

[@TopShonenRanks]

20:49 I saw this on Twitter and was like damn what is Weilin cooking? Lmaooo

[@blank4592]

5:47 brother wtf is that background i love it

[@antont4974]

There are 2 more fixes that were really bad in TV version. Before they show us that Mahoraga has been tied to cars, he doesn't clear the smoke with his attack like in Blu-Ray, but instead smoke disappers and Raga just teleports infront of Sukuna, plus Mahoraga has been redrawn Cut where girl's hand gets decimated, we can see two phones 1 of them gets destroyed TWICE, it just simply reappers. Plus some other background Art changes later. They fixed like 3-4 continuity errors and improved the flow a lot, I'd be angry showing the episode in that state.
