I will be rating the arcs seperately.
Hidden Inventory: 8/10
Had amazing character writing. The plot was intersting. Geto's development is some of the best in Shonen history. If had topoint out something to criticise, I would say Gojo's win didn’t feel deserved especially because Toji was flawless in both planning and execution.
Shibuya: 4/10
Shibuya was a big downgrade for me. Mechamaru's fight was good but Mahito winning felt unnatural. Felt like we were robbed of a character with incredible story and in-world potential just to set up an antagonist that'd die this arc.
Most of the other fights in Shibuya didn’t feel like it had any story. Toji vs Dagon was the biggest offender. Dagon was one of the disaster curses. Getting beaten by someone he(and most of the other characters) never met felt off. Sukuna vs Mahoraga was more of a Mahoraga advertisement than a well written fight. Those are just the most jarring ones. Yuji vs the bug, Mei Mei vs the pox curse, Yuji and Megumi vs the guy who took more damage from less effective strikes etc. were also such nothing fights and it’s not like they were particularly clever fights either.
