going off of Maka's comment, the information the jujutsu world has regarding geto is currently: gojo killed geto back in tokyo. geto is fully pronounced dead.
information we the audience has regarding geto is currently: gojo killed geto back in tokyo. geto is now in action with stitches on his forehead. the jujustu world is not aware that he is in action and geto wishes to keep it that way for reasons we do not currently know. his M.O. has also changed: friendly reminder that geto HATES curses and wants to eradicate them from the world. presently we see him working together with said curses(/cursed spirits) whose goals are a world ruled by curses.
all just food for thought, i hope laying out the facts on their own without too much interference helps move your thoughts forward regarding geto and what he has going on. the only hint i want to give (if the moderator will allow it) is that you could stand to be a bitttt suspicious
anyway i canโt overstate how excited i am for the rest of this season!!! the tension/apprehension/atmosphere feels so tangible, this season truly outdoes itself

just some random details about this episode :)
it kept flashing to miwa during mechamaru vs mahito because she is a user of the new shadow style, aka simple domain. he learned it from watching her, and heโs maybe in love with her so heโs constantly thinking about wanting to be with her in his real body. finally i know it isnโt clear but mahito killed mechamaru, thatโs why him and geto were casually walking away from the fight and we see his ultimate mechamaru out of commission.
the teams of people outside the veil might seem random, but itโs because of what todo and mei did last episode. recommending the tokyo jujutsu high students to become first grade sorcerers mean they have to do missions accompanied by a first grade sorcerer, hence why everyone is split up with all these newer characters. ino has appeared before briefly, in season 1 during the first mahito fight he was in the sewers with nanami, and he was in the movie for a bit fighting the curses geto released. naobito zenin weโve also seen once in a maki flashback, heโs the head of the zenin clan.
the veils are going to be really complicated and iโm not going to lie the season is packed with information, but itโs ok to be confused even after rewatching this many times i still have to pause and think about how everything is working, the time stamps are sort of important but i think itโs fine to not pay that much attention to them because most of the action is happening at the same time just in different places with the various teams
sorry for the long comment, excited for the upcoming eps!!

I'm happy that you were blown away by the animation in this episode, and animators should receive all the ovations for their work! However, there were a lot of controversies because of extremely tight deadlines and work poor compensation, especially during season 2 airing. As an example - you mentioned that you wouldn't be surprised if this 30 sec fight scene with Mahito would have taken 6 months to animate. Unfortunately, for a reference, for JJK 0 animators were given just 4 months to finish the full 1.5 hours movie requiring the best quality of course.
And when it comes to the season 2, I remember that the animator community was very loud, especially during the second part of the season, when they even said that they are not sure, if they will be able to finish this season. For some episodes they managed to make only 30% of the vision they had because of the deadlines. You can notice it in the later episodes by the increased number of still shots, when nothing much happens on the screen and there is just a narration. But even with that - animation is still amazing, and so are the animators. And unfortunately it's not just MAPPA but the whole industry.
P.S. watching these episodes while staying in my hotel in Shibuya, while I'm traveling in Japan is some kind of inception) And there is a huge banner outside of the station entrance saying "No events for Halloween on Shibuya streets" :)

Fun fact: The animators of this episode paid homage to several classic Mecha animes by directly recreating scenes from them during the ultimate mechamaru fight. I know for sure thereโs some Gurren Lagann and Gundam shots, and I believe some Evangelion shots as well. Iโm honestly not a huge Mecha anime fan myself other than Eighty Six, but I think itโs really cool that the artists made so many callbacks to these older, foundational animes.

As to what's going down here - reaching way back to season 1, in the diner scene where we first met Geto and the special-grade curses, as well as later in their little beach hangout:
Geto and the curses have been preparing and planning for this day. October 31st in Shibuya.
And like Geto told Jogo, none of them are powerful enough to kill Gojo, so Geto's plan is to use a cursed object called the Prison Realm to attempt to "seal" Gojo away.
The events unfolding at the end of this episode are what Geto has been yapping for since the first scene we met him ๐

If you thought your mind was blown from the fights and animation in this episode. Its about to be this way for every episode going forward. Except even more every new episode.

I love the new intro when it shows Mahito skipping through the train, reminds us that he's really just a man child in the end
Also can we appreciate the fact Mecha finger blasted Mahitos soul....๐๐ฅด

I didn't realize this, but I may have to invest in it now for myself, I did notice that some of it felt incomplete

I've seen both seasons 3 times, 4th time through with J&J, and I still can't explain half the shit in the magic system haha

sometimes i wanna explain something but i don't have enough confidence in my knowledge to really explain it well, so i hope someone else comments on the use of veils and why they cannot see the people inside from the outside lol

I donโt know if anyone has mentioned it before but are you guys watching Season 2 of JJK on Blue-ray? Bc if you arenโt I highly recommend, if you can, to do so. The animation on the Blue-ray is much better bc sadly, towards the end, when the episodes were first released some of the animation was incomplete. But they were able to finish it and the finished version is on Blue-ray. So if you can, I highly recommend you get that to have a better experience.
