Jujutsu Kaisen’s highest-rated episode scores 9.8 and divides global fans

The latest episode of Jujutsu Kaisen, which focused on Maki Zenin, instantly became the highest-rated episode of the series, scoring a 9.8 on IMDb with over 8,000 reviews. However, despite the critical acclaim season 3, episode 4 has received globally, the fans over in Japan don’t feel the same. “Perfect Preparation” adapted chapters 148-153 of the manga into a compact 28-minute episode, taking artistic liberties to convey both the story and the action. However, some manga purists have taken umbrage at the small differences between the anime and manga, leading to arguments that JuJutsu Kaisen is attempting to appeal too much to American sensibilities with the anime’s emphasis on fights.
