Jujutsu Kaisen Culling Game Kicks Off in Season 3: Kenjaku's Plan for Human Evolution Detailed

With Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 launching this month, fans are now bracing for the anime debut of the Culling Game arc. This storyline immediately follows the devastating Shibuya Incident and centers on Kenjaku’s brutal scheme to force human evolution through mass slaughter.

The arc begins with the appearance of ten barrier colonies established across Japan. Anyone without inherent cursed energy who awakens it is automatically forced into the game, where the mandate is simple: fight or die. Players gain points by eliminating others, though the points reset every 19 days, ensuring constant conflict and participation.

Kenjaku, currently operating under the guise of Geto Suguru while inhabiting Noritoshi Kamo’s body, is enforcing binding vows to maintain the deadly structure of the game. His ultimate goal involves harvesting the massive amounts of cursed energy generated by these battles to prepare the world for a merger with Master Tengen. This ritual aims to fuse all remaining humans with Tengen, creating a new, evolved species entirely under Kenjaku’s control.

In the immediate fray, the stakes are high for the main cast. Yuji Itadori finds himself targeted for execution by Yuta Okkotsu. Simultaneously, Megumi Fushiguro is stepping into his new role as the head of the Zenin clan, a position that immediately draws dangerous rivals into his orbit.

The rules of the Culling Game are not static; players can negotiate additions to the game master, Kenjaku. One major objective confirmed for the arc is the development of a technique capable of nullifying cursed powers, which would allow the players to free Gojo Satoru from the Prison Realm. Wild cards like Hakari’s unique domain ability continue to destabilize colonies, including Tokyo No. 1.

The official synopsis for Season 3’s Culling Game (Part 1) confirms the anime will start immediately after the Execution phase. Viewers should anticipate Yuji evading Yuta, Megumi dealing with clan politics, and the colonies descending further into cursed mayhem as Kenjaku’s deadly evolutionary push reaches its climax.
