The trial has begun! In this episode of Weekend Weebs, Alonzo and Jason dive deep into Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3, Episode 8, and the tragic, gavel-smashing introduction of Hiromi Higuruma.
Is Higuruma just a "Nanami 2.0," or does he bring something entirely new to the Culling Game? We break down his atmospheric backstory, his "99% conviction rate" trauma, and the philosophical question: Was Higuruma actually justified in his courtroom outburst against the judge and prosecutor?

In this episode, we discuss:
⚖️ The "Nanami Vibe": Comparing the strength and "weary professional" energy of Higuruma and Nanami Kento.
🎬 The Rotoscoping Controversy: Why did this episode feel so "real"? We debate MAPPA’s heavy use of rotoscoping (or "hard references") and whether it takes away from the exaggerated, cartoon element of animation.
🐌 Pacing or "Slice of Life"? We address the anime-only complaints about waiting two weeks for a courtroom drama. Is the show spending too much time on characters "about to get clapped by Yuji"?
💪 The "Broly" Yuji Flashback: Reacting to the hilarious moment Yuji lifted a student by his face—and why no one in high school realized he was "special grade" back then.
🧾 Future Hype: A quick look ahead at Megumi vs. Reggie Star and the "Max Elephant" remix we can't wait to see animated.
📉 The "Expedited" Problem: Is Gege Akutami rushing the story? We look back at Season 1 and discuss how the "20 fingers" plot could have made JJK as long as Naruto or Dragon Ball.
