A key animator for the recent episode revealed in a tweet that they could only incorporate 30% of what they actually intended to and aired the episode in an incomplete state.

In the tweet below, we can clearly see the keyframes from the sequences that appear to be demonstrating the battle with Sukuna from Mahoraga’s perspective. As the work condition at MAPPA is terrible and staff are being burdened under tight deadlines and with little to no support, this is quite unfortunate that fans missed watching something interesting.
