The episode also scored a rating of over 9 on IMDb, making it one of the highest-rated anime episodes ever. However, Japanese fans were not impressed with the episode and called it mediocre. Needless to say, Maki's episode was one that polarized the audience.

In Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 Episode 4, Maki was freed of all cursed energy, which allowed her to maximize the Heavenly Restriction. As a result, her body became stronger. Maki's strength increased along with her stamina and speed. This became evident as she defeated her father and several other top fighters of the Zenin clan.

Towards the end of the episode, Maki faced off against Naoya Zenin, who was confident that he would obliterate her. Initially, he had some success landing blows on Maki because of his cursed technique. However, it soon became apparent that Maki had lured Naoya to land a critical hit on him.

So, she wrapped up the fight with a single well-placed strike. Ultimately, she took Mai's body and gave it to Momo before wiping out the remaining Zenin clan members who were involved in the plot to murder the two sisters. With her newly acquired strength, Maki can take down much stronger enemies.

  • JJK S3 Episode 5 will release on January 29
  • JJK S3 Episode 5 will focus on Kinji Hakari

Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 Episode 5 will be released on January 29th, 2026. The episode is titled "Fever." It will focus on Itadori Yuji and Megumi Fushiguro as they attempt to recruit Kinji Hakari, a third-year student at Jujutsu High, who was suspended due to his rebellious nature. Following his suspension, Kinji Hakari dedicated his time and effort to running the fight club. Not much is known about Kinji Hakari, but the fact that Yuta called him stronger is a big statement, and it has certainly excited fans.

Yuta is arguably the strongest sorcerer in the world right now, so recruiting someone with similar strength will be a massive help for the heroes. With Kinji Hakari's help, Yuji and the rest of the gang will be able to free Gojo Satoru and save Tsukimi from harm. However, it won't be so easy to recruit someone of Hakari's caliber, so Yuji and Megumi will definitely have to work for it.

JJK Season 3 Episode 5 might also reveal new information about the other participants who will be involved in the Culling Game. After all, it would be a good idea to show the audience what kind of characters they can expect to see in what is the biggest competition to date.

From the preview, it's quite obvious that the upcoming episode will reveal the strength of Kinji Hakari. Ever since Yuta spoke about Hakari, fans have been curious to see just how powerful he really is. Considering Hakari operates a fight club, it's highly likely that he specializes in close-range combat. Naturally, he would use cursed energy to bolster the power of his attacks. Since his fighting style involves getting close to an enemy, it's highly probable that his physical abilities are of the highest order.
