Jujutsu Kaisen: The Culling Game Part 1

Synopsis

Continues the story of Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2

In 2006, Tokyo Prefectural Jujutsu High School buzzes with the constant bickering and intense debates of two inseparable friends, Satoru Gojou and Suguru Getou. Confident in their prowess as young, powerful Special Grade sorcerers, they are tasked with ensuring the safe transport of the composed Riko Amanai to the entity holding the essence of the jujutsu world. Yet, this mission thrusts them into a morally complex dilemma that threatens the delicate equilibrium between sorcerers and ordinary humans. Twelve years later, students and sorcerers stand as the primary defenders against a surging tide of high-level curses born from human negativity. As these curses grow stronger, they develop greater self-awareness and ambition, uniting under the guidance of a dangerous ancient cursed spirit. Their shared objective is to wipe out humanity and forge a world exclusively for those who wield cursed energy. To eliminate their greatest obstacle—the most powerful sorcerer, Gojou—they orchestrate an attack on Shibuya Station during Halloween. The sorcerers divide into groups, prepared to fight to the end to protect both innocent civilians and their own kind.

In this installment

In "Jujutsu Kaisen: The Culling Game Part 1," Kenjaku, having possessed the bodies of Noritoshi Kamo and subsequently Suguru Getou, pushes forward with the next stage of a centuries-old scheme designed to evolve humanity and eradicate ordinary people. Following Satoru Gojou's imprisonment after the Shibuya incident, the top leaders of the jujutsu world mandate the resumption of the execution order for the fifteen-year-old Yuuji Itadori. Unaware of this directive, Yuuji roams the empty streets of Tokyo alongside Chousou, exorcising cursed spirits as they travel. Meanwhile, Megumi Fushiguro's appointment as the new head of the Zenin Clan provokes deep anger in the bigoted and arrogant Naoya Zenin. Driven by a desire to kill Megumi, Naoya sets his sights on Yuuji, though Yuuta Okkotsu remains determined to be the one who carries out Yuuji's execution. The Culling Game, a brutal battle royale spanning Japan where jujutsu users are forced to fight to the death, commences. The young sorcerers enter this conflict to settle old scores, free Gojou, and protect their world from Kenjaku's threat.
