Whats more to say? It adds more to the mugen train arc, shows more of the lovely Flame Hashira, and has no signs of half assed low budget filler animation. I hope they do this more in the future.

How to do a filler episode right
sorrynoob15 October 2021
Amazing way to start a season

One of the best filler episode in anime overall.
nahusosa23 October 2021
For years, filler in anime tv series, as well as outside of anime, has been widely criticized for its unnecessary and boring plots, with a poor script and both a lack of narrative impact and character development. Naruto, especially Shippuden is the example, all his filler arcs did not concentrate due to his repetitive plots, characters for the most part not very charismatic, his humor, although he contributed something to the secondary characters to increase the emotional weight.
In My hero Academia most of the filler episodes used unnecessary and unfunny fan service with poorly written plots. With all that they are not going to create the best tv series in the world.
Instead this episode shows us how to make a filler chapter; an interesting plot, good character development and a good impact and narrative setting. The writers did very well, hopefully in the future of anime, especially Jujutsu Kaisen, it will have this level of writing in its possible filler episodes.

The virtues of being a top demon slayer

This episode really encapsulates the honor and politeness of the fire hashira Rengoku. He is kind, witty and has a deep urge to help others without the need for anything in return (maybe something to eat). It is a well-paced first episode that gives the viewer everything to get started on the Mugen train arc. Enjoy the watch!
Stop expecting this to be what it isn't

I wasn't expecting much from this episode, but they delivered
Bryparker125 October 2021
When I first heard they would be adding original content, and using the movie to fill in the first 3rd of the 2nd season, I was not happy with the decision. I felt that they should've either made the movie longer with this extra content, or they should've just skipped the movie altogether and just ran directly into the second season with this content. I'm still not happy that they are using the movie to fill in a good portion of this season. It's obvious that they are adding this original content for fan service since everyone fell in love with Rengoku. And I suppose they're also doing it to catch the people up with the story who didn't get a chance to see the movie. I'm just not a fan of this model. It seems like a cop-out/cash grab on the heels of a highly successful movie. With all that said, I was pleasantly surprised with the first episode. They did well with the time that they had. At this point I feel like they should've made the first two episodes out of original content. I know that the story is going to get back on track after the Mugen train arc is over. Once the entertainment district begins, the show will be back to what we all expect and love.
Even though it barely features the main trio, this episode still works

This is a good development episode for Rengoku. I'm glad he is the focus of the Mugen train arc, because I personally find him more interesting than the main trio. Rengoku is a funny and charming character who is entertaining to watch.
This episode is just setup for the mugen train, but it still has lots of action. Rengoku vs the slasher was very fun to watch. I also loved the part where Rengoku says he wants to be like his father.
(Spoilers for the movie) I'm really sad that Rengoku dies at the end of this arc and I feel like his character had more potential. That's why I'm glad they're developing him a lot during this arc.

best filler episode in world

Many anime series have filler episodes without having any goal behind it but this episode explains that what was happening befor mugen train and who is flame hashira or what kind of personality he has. As i said this is the best filler episode I've ever watched at the very least.
Masterpiece in telling a story

The origin of mugen train story is clear now .this was an epic episode seeing how it all started. I loved how the dots are now connected, everything is falling into natural order from. The beginning of the story I really look forward to see if the story get new twists or plot.
Good animation but tedious content
aalokpattnaik13 October 2021
Movie got famous, doesnt mean that on a single word "delicious" you will make an episode. The series and movie were great, please dont ruin/make it boring with filler episodes. This episode content not even part of manga.
