Culling Game Arc
-Heavy Spoilers ahead-
The Culling Game stands as the most unparalleled display of jujutsu extremism to date. Arising directly in the aftermath of the Shibuya Incident, it is masterminded by Kenjaku, aiming to advance humanity by refining cursed energy. This event operates as a deadly battle royale, where participants eliminate each other using jujutsu techniques. Contestants are obliged to follow the precise regulations of the game and engage in combat across ten barrier colonies that span the length of Japan.
Moreover, the students will be engaged in a fierce battle to rescue Gojo from the prison realm which is in possession of Kenjaku. However, many questions arise as no one has ever dealt with such a cursed object before. They have to find a way to not only get the object from Kenjaku’s possession but also find a way to open it so that Gojo can be free once again. The task is not easy to carry out and will need a lot of planning from the sorcerers.
On the other hand, the imminent threat, Sukuna, is awaiting the right time to cause havoc again. With him still being inside Yuji is a cause of concern for everyone as the jujutsu superiors have now announced his immediate execution. Moreover, Tsumuki Fushiguro will also be in grave danger and Megumi, including other sorcerers, will conduct a rescue mission to save his sister.
The upcoming arc promises to be a highly engaging experience, captivating audiences as not only does the narrative delve into deeper complexities, but also a plethora of new characters emerge, injecting substantial depth into the evolving plot. Observing the intricate layers unfold, it will be fascinating to witness the twists and turns that shape the course of the story.
