Breaking news: Jujutsu Kaisen nears perfection: Maki's episode achieves a 9.8 on IMDb

Following the criticism of the previous episode, the series rebounds with a near-perfect rating of 9.8.

From complaints to standing ovations. The Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 and Maki Zenin arc has delivered one of the most brutal comebacks in recent anime history. After a previous episode ("About the Culling Game") that left some fans feeling a bit overwhelmed by the over-exposition, this new installment has shaken the industry with a near-perfect 9.8/10 rating on IMDb.

At this moment Maki broke the internet

The "perfect" episode: Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 and Maki Zenin break IMDb records

The narrative focused entirely on Maki Zenin and her bloody conflict against her own family. A far cry from last week's static dialogue, MAPPA delivered an art direction and emotional intensity that many are already calling "cinematic." The community has praised how Maki's pain, anger, and transformation were portrayed as she seeks revenge for her sister and collects cursed tools.

Twitter was wrong (again).

Interestingly, hours before and during the premiere, a vocal minority on Twitter tried to label the episode "disappointing" or "slow." However, the numbers don't lie. The overwhelmingly positive reviews on specialized sites demonstrate that the general public was impressed by the quality of the adaptation.

This episode not only "saves" the season's pacing but also raises the stakes for the Culling Game, solidifying Maki as one of the best protagonists in modern shonen.

Do you think this was Maki's best episode in the entire series?
