With the release of the season finale, Jujutsu Kaisen’s second season, one of the most-watched anime series of the year has finally come to an end after a journey filled with twists, turns, and epic battles. But as the second season of the show comes to an end, the team has formally revealed Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 with the release of a special teaser video.
Season 3 of Jujutsu Kaisen’s premiere date is still pending and will be disclosed later. A video posted on the official series website revealed that the upcoming third season of the show will be adapting the “Culling Game” arc of Gege Akutami’s manga.
However, it may not be entirely good news for the Jujutsu Kaisen fans, as the Culling Game arc is said to be more violent than the Shibuya Incident arc. The Culling Game arc has the deaths of some of the most important characters of the entire series.
1. Gojo Satoru
Gojo Satoru is probably the most popular character in the entire Jujutsu Kaisen series and one of the most popular characters in the entire anime world. He is known as the Honored one among all heaven and earth. He is also known as the strongest jujutsu sorcerer in the Jujutsu Kaisen world. During the Culling games arc, he faces the King of the Curses Sukuna.
During the initial chapters of the fight, he is shown dominating the fight against Sukuna and is even seen winning against the character. However, the story was turned when he was seen lying on the ground sliced off in half. This fight lived up to the fans’ expectations and was unquestionably the best they had seen in all of Jujutsu Kaisen.
2. Yuki Tsukumo
Only four characters, including Yuki Tsukumo, are considered special-grade jujutsu sorcerers; however, she has no desire to be associated with Jujutsu High. Yuki Tsukumo and Choso are tasked with defending Tengen during the Culling Game Arc, but sadly, Kenjaku assaults them while they are doing so.
Even though she controlled the fight for the greater part of it, she was ultimately vanquished and killed. Yuki gives her life to create a black hole that she believes will defeat Kenjaku in a desperate attempt to save Tengen. Nonetheless, in the end, this endeavor is unsuccessful and she dies at the hands of Kenjaku.
3. Tsumiki Fushiguro
Tsumiki Fushiguro is the older step-sister of Megumi Fushiguro. Additionally, Tsumiki was unintentionally selected by Kenjaku to take part in the Culling Game and transformed into Yorozu, a jujutsu sorcerer with a thousand-year obsession with Sukuna. Within the Culling Game arc, Tsumiki Fushiguro held a significant role.
After assuming control of Megumi’s body, Sukuna used Megumi’s body and the Cursed Technique to attack Tsumiki, crushing his spirit and plunging him into a state of despair to seize total control of his body. Having taken control of Tsumiki’s body, Yorozu chose to battle Sukuna, but in the end, was defeated and killed.
4. Hiromi Higuruma
Considered an up-and-coming figure in the realm of Jujutsu Sorcery, Hiromi Higuruma left his mark in battle, even impressing Sukuna. As a defense lawyer, Higuruma frequently took on cases that seemed too difficult to win to defend the unfairly accused. Higuruma was praised highly by both Kenjaku and Sukuna, who even compared him to Gojo Satoru.
Fans witnessed a legitimate battle between Higuruma and Sukuna in Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 247. Higuruma was able to use a cursed energy level during the battle that was comparable to Sukuna’s, but fans were faced with yet another shocking choice when Sukuna killed him too.
5. Kenjaku
One of the main adversaries in the Jujutsu Kaisen series is Kenjaku. He is an old curse user who has been using his natural method for over a millennium. For countless years, fans have witnessed him wielding influence from the background. As the mastermind behind the Culling Game arc, Kenjaku is also undoubtedly responsible for all of the significant deaths that have occurred thus far in the narrative.
In the course of the Culling Games arc, Kenjaku engaged Takaba in one of his most captivating battles. Just as Takaba and Kenjaku’s comedic skit is coming to an end, Yuta ambushes Kenjaku during their fight and slices him. Kenjaku’s death came as a shock to fans, however, it has not been confirmed if he is surely dead or not.
