Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 is not a mere continuation but the moment when the series takes a very different form. The Culling Game arc takes the story into more morally sinister territory, reveals some of the most dangerous new elements in the show, and compels familiar characters to engage with violence, identity, and survival, in a way permanently redefining them. Readers of manga have long been aware that this is where JJK ceases to feel like a classic battle shōnen and starts to feel much more ruthless.
It is not only power building or fights that make JJK Season 3 such an anticipated one, but rather the revelation. Domains are increasingly twisted, fights are increasingly ideological, characters become more brutal and memorable in ways that fans will never forget. These are not hype to hype moments but to twist the plot and to redefine the characters themselves. At the time of writing, these are the moments that fans are the most excited about being animated in season 3 of the series, according to manga.
Jujutsu Kaisen: Toji vs Maki - Who Is Stronger?
Maki Zenin and Toji Fushiguro, the black sheep of the Zenin clan, sure know how to make a mess, but which of them is stronger?
Higuruma's Domain Expansion: Deadly Sentencing
Hiromi Higuruma does not come into the picture as a typical sorcerer but rather as a disappointed defense lawyer devastated by the unfairness of the modern world. His cursed technique "Deadly Sentencing", a domain expansion that deprives brutality of every possible feature and in its place introduces brute force of the laws, judgment, and consequences. Within the domain, violence is not allowed, and the verdicts are solely based on legal arguments, evidence and verdicts.
The reason this moment is so predicted is due to how radically different it is compared to anything JJK has done previously. The Domain expansion of Higuruma does not only punish those who oppose him, it reveals them. The concept of a Domain Expansion capturing curse energy or providing execution on the grounds of moral guilt was an instant attraction to the manga readers. Fans cannot wait to watch this animated fight scene where the courtroom has taken the place of fists and cursed energy. It is no doubt one of the most spine-chilling and thought-provoking scenes of Season 3.
Maki vs. Naoya Zenin
Naoya Zenin clearly represents and is the pure embodiment of everything that’s wrong with the clan and how rotten it is to its core. He hates women, his siblings and anyone weaker than him, thinks he deserves the best of things as that is his birth right, and is obsessed with getting power that he didn't earn.
At this point in the story, Maki is no longer trying to show that she is strong. Her Heavenly Restriction has turned her into a monster almost as strong as Toji, which Naoya still hates to admit. Naoya's speed and arrogance finally meet someone who isn't afraid of him or respects him. Fans still talk about this fight because it makes Maki look like something the old jujutsu world can't handle. This fight will be brutal, quick, and has one of the most satisfying endings to it in the series.
Yuta Okkotsu Vs. Uro Takako Vs. Ryu Ishigori
Yuta coming back during the Culling Game is one of the best parts of the story. His three-way fight and triple domain expansion with Ryu and Uro is a great example of how to fight with cursed energy at the highest level. Yuta can't just use brute force to win; he has to be creative because this time around his opponents aren't the ones he can overpower with just his cursed energy, as Ryu also has a lot of cursed energy and Uro can bend space.
Every Main Jujutsu Kaisen Character's Age, Height, And Birthday
Jujutsu Kaisen is among the biggest ongoing anime. Here are a few basic details fans should know about the main characters as they join the adventure.
A lot of fans are excited about this fight because it shows how much Yuta has changed since Jujutsu Kaisen 0. He stays calm and thinks things through, and he can change his mind quickly. He can use Rika, the Reverse Cursed Technique, and his copied powers all at once. Many manga fans say that this fight proves that Yuta is one of the strongest in the JJK world. The size and choreography of the animated fight are two of the most exciting things about Season 3.
Maki vs The Zenin Clan
This is the moment Maki ceases being a victim in the modern Jujutsu world and becomes an equal to one of the strongest characters in the series. Maki returns to the Zenin clan when she is pushed to the limit and brutally, but rightfully so, murders the clan that abused, neglected, and attempted to murder her. No question, no speeches, just pure determination to avenge her sister and finish that clan that gave her nothing but pain all those years. Funny how it turned out for the clan, as the two people considered the weakest members of the clan became the strongest, one that massacred the clan, the other was the one who allowed it to live in the first place.
This is a real and honest moment that is eagerly awaited by the fans. The slaughter is not presented as either heroic or mournful; it is merely going to take place as it's necessary. Maki is a force of nature who carries on the legacy of Toji but with a greater emotional touch. This scene might be one of the most chilling moments of JJK, given that it is animated properly, to alter the meaning of the word liberation in this world.
Jujutsu Kaisen: 23 Powerful Quotes By Yuji Itadori
Yuji Itadori is the source of many inspirational and thought-provoking quotes in Jujutsu Kaisen. Here are some of his best.
Kinji Hakari vs. Hajime Kashimo
The battle between Kinji Hakari and Hajime Kashimo is the sheer spectacle of anarchy. Kashimo is an ancient sorcerer, considered the strongest of his time, who only finds meaning in fighting. Hakari, however, is pure unpredictability cranked up to the max. He is a sorcerer whose Domain Expansion turns fighting into a game of high stakes where those caught within have to play to win and to lose by the fate as the domain can grant Haraki near immorality if luck aligns with him.
The Idle Death Gamble by Hakari is among the strangest Domain Expansions of the series, yet one of the strongest and most interesting domains, filled with pachinko machines as well as a dance that accompanies it, which fans are most excited about and dearly wish has their favorite phonk music played during it. It is of particular interest to manga fans that the anime will address the music, images and pace. This is supposed to be the best fight of the season, not only because of the hype for Haraki, but also because fans know how strong Kashimo is, his desire to continue even after Hakari gains 4 minutes and 11 seconds of immortality, shows how long he waited to get back into fighting.
Nah, I'd Win
The thought that Gojo Satoru can be unsealed is the most significant aspect that may occur in JJK Season 3. His prison time has taken a toll on all the key conflicts since Shibuya, and the desperation of each character demonstrates how the world suffers with Gojo being gone and how his students miss him too. It is a hope of fans that he is unsealed at the end of Season 3 even though not all is guaranteed that this will happen. Nothing would hit harder.
It is not just confidence, but when Gojo says "Nah, I’d win", he changes the balance of the entire series. The last line would be the ideal cliffhanger to finish the season. This would imply that the most powerful sorcerer has returned, and the actual storm is about to begin. It would not only be the most thrilling cliffhanger of the third season, but among the best cliffhangers in recent anime history.
