Jujutsu Kaisen anime just began with the Shibuya Incident arc. It is just the tip of the iceberg. While the anime began with excavating the tip, the manga has already taken a huge chunk out of it. Gege Akutami is slowly digging up the whole thing in a way that has brought the fans on the edge of their seats thinking about how they will overcome the roller-coaster of emotions.
The Shibuya Incident arc is the first part of the Culling Game. The Culling Game has seen many strong Jujutsu sorcerers lose their lives while others have gained massive power-ups. Jujutsu Kaisen is slowly entering its final stage, and there are many characters left who might die before Gege Akutami wraps up the story. So, here are the major characters who might face the inevitable in the Culling Game arc.
5. Kinji Hakari
Kinji Hakari is one of the strongest Jujutsu sorcerers and a former third-year student of Tokyo Jujutsu High. Gojo Satoru identified him as one of the few people who had the potential to surpass him. Kinji Hakari is a master at hand-to-hand combat and has unique abilities. His Cursed Techniques depend on the “Luck” factor. A lottery takes place, and every time he hits a jackpot, he gains unlimited Cursed Energy for 4 minutes and 11 seconds.
During this time, he gains regenerative powers and becomes next to unbeatable. Kinji Hakari has one of the highest chances of meeting his end in the Culling Games. The “Luck” factor may have proven to be quite helpful for him, but he might not always be this lucky. At some point, his luck may run out, and he may end up losing his life.
4. Hiromi Higuruma
Hiromi Higuruma was a normal human but later manifested Cursed Energy with Kenjaku’s help. Higuruma was a defense attorney before becoming a sorcerer. After manifesting a massive amount of Cursed Energy he became a powerful sorcerer. His Domain Expansion resembles a court, and those who are proven guilty are punished heavily. At the end of Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 238, Hiromi Higuruma and Yuji Itadori are seen to attack Sukuna.
The battle will most likely continue in chapter 244, and Higuruma might die in the battle. Yuji, being the protagonist, will live. Hiromi Higuruma’s death might come as a shock to both Yuji and the fans.
3. Megumi Fushiguro
Megumi Fushiguro is one of the strongest Jujutsu sorcerers and has the potential to be the strongest. He is the son of Toji Fushiguro and has inherited the Ten Shadows technique, which is said to rival the Gojo clan’s Six Eyes and Limitless in Jujutsu Kaisen. From the beginning, Ryomen Sukuna had taken a liking for him. A few chapters back, he tricked Yuji Itadori and possessed Megumi Fushiguro to inherit the Ten Shadows technique.
Sukuna is purposely doing things that will cause harm to Megumi’s soul. He killed his sensei and then killed her sister. Megumi’s soul is slowly going into despair, and it might ultimately kill him.
2. Kenjaku
Kenjaku is the mastermind of the Culling Games. He is known as the most evil sorcerer in history. To live longer, he takes over other people’s minds. His recent body is that of Suguru Geto, who Satoru Gojo’s best friend was. Kenjaku used that body to trap Satoru Gojo. He has killed several important characters in the anime and is one of the main antagonists of the anime along with Ryomen Sukuna.
In the latest chapter, pseudo-Suguru Geto was slashed from the shoulder above by Yuta Okkotsu. It has made the body unable to be used by Kenjaku. So, Kenjaku will need to find a new body soon. This is his most vulnerable state, and he might be killed soon to bring justice to the world.
1. Yuta Okkotsu
Yuta Okkotsu is one of the strongest sorcerers in Jujutsu Kaisen and has the potential to surpass Satoru Gojo. He has a massive storage of Cursed Energy and can use Reversed Cursed Technique. Along with that, he can control a Special Grade Cursed Spirit, Rika Orimoto. Yuta Okkotsu is one such side character who holds more power than the protagonist.
He is the one who slashed Kenjaku. Kenjaku, being an evil mastermind will not let him go free. Those two are most likely to face each other. Yuta might take down Kenjaku while laying down his life. Another possibility is that he might be killed at the hands of Ryomen Sukuna since he is the only sorcerer alive who can hold his ground against him in Jujutsu Kaisen.
