Fans will just have to wait for the anime or catch up on the manga to see more of the blue-eyed prodigy in action.

The Culling Game is Jujutsu Kaisen’s deadliest arc yet

Many new characters are introduced

The Knockdown Game Bow is the ninth bow of Jujutsu Kaisenspanning approximately 63 chapters of the story. Given that the manga will consist of 271 chapters, this arc will take up almost a quarter of the entire story. The main action takes place with Yuji Itadori and Megumi Fushiguro and their allies entering the Culling Game to save Tsumiki Fushiguro. The arc also explores the methods to help Satoru Gojo escape the prison realm and the danger that comes with it. when he will be released.

The Culling Game is orchestrated by the villain Kenjaku as a way to help humanity evolve and optimize cursed energy, or at least that’s how he explains it. The game is a deadly battle royale with strict rules where participants kill each other using their jujutsu. The arc sees tense and highly skilled fights between some of the most elite and skilled fighters in the series, meaning the anime adaptation is sure to be full of non-stop action. Unfortunately, there will also be some rather sad moments.

Who will participate in the showdown game?

Every Jujutsu sorcerer has the ability

The Culling game will see some of the Jujutsu KaisenThe game’s strongest characters are forced to participate in deadly games, with players divided into four different colonies. These colonies are spread across Japan, but two of them are located within the Tokyo city limits.

In addition to fan-favorite characters like Yuta Okkotsu making an appearance in the death game, many new characters will also be introduced as participants, some of them being wizards and others being simple civilians. Each colony and its respective participants are mentioned below, along with new characters shown in bold.

Tokyo Colony No. 1 covers a large part of the city and all of Ikebukuro and Shinjuku.

Tokyo Colony No. 2 borders Tokyo Bay and the shipyards

The Sendai settlement includes the city of Sendai, the capital of Miyagi Prefecture.

The settlement of Sakurajima is centered around the active Sakurajima volcano in Kagoshima

The game of slaughter has very complicated rules.

It is officially recognized as the worst act of jujutsu terrorism in history.

Kenjaku has very dark motives behind starting the Culling game, and he is able to disguise his true intentions for the games by enacting a long list of very complicated rules. The original rules of the game make it appear to be a cruel arena full of blood, but Kenjaku also allows players to negotiate and add additional rules to complicate things even further.Breaking a rule, however, falls into the category of non-negotiable things.

The original rules of the showdown game:

1. After awakening a cursed technique, wizards must announce their intention to participate within a pre-chosen barrier within 19 days.
2. Players who fail to follow the first rule are punished by having their cursed technique removed.
3. Non-players who cross the barriers are considered players upon entry and are assumed to have announced their intention to participate.
4. Players earn points by killing other participants.
5. The game master determines the players’ point value. In general, wizards and cursed spirits count for 5 points, while killing a non-wizard only earns 1 point.
6. Players may spend 100 points, not including their own values, to negotiate new rules with the game master. Rules can only be added, not subtracted.
7. The Game Master will accept new rules unless they have a lasting impact on the game.
8. A player whose score does not change for 19 days will be punished by having the cursed technique removed.

Taking advantage of the fact that players can add new rules to the game, the wizards of Jujutsu High must work together across their various colonies to stop the bloodshed and end the games. The new rules come at a price, and many battles are still played out in the end. Some of these new rules include the ability to transfer points and leave the game by spending a hundred points, as well as bringing in a replacement player. There are also barrier rules in place, presumably controlled by Kogane, the Shikigami interface, between each player and the Culling Game.
