Jujutsu Kaisen's Culling Game Arc Is Here and It Is the Most Brutal Thing the Show Has Ever Done
Jujutsu Kaisen is back and it did not ease you in gently. The Culling Game arc is a death tournament where everyone is expendable — including characters you thought were safe.

If you watched the end of last season and thought things could not get more chaotic in the Jujutsu Kaisen universe — the Culling Game arc is here to prove you completely wrong.
The premise is this: a massive death tournament has been set in motion across Japan. Hundreds of sorcerers and civilians have been forcibly enrolled. The rules are simple and horrifying — collect points by killing other players. Run out of points and you die. Try to break the rules and you die. Every single character is operating under a death sentence and the show is not shy about cashing them in.
What makes this arc hit differently from everything before it is the moral chaos. There are no clean heroes anymore. Everyone is making compromises. Everyone is doing things that would have been unthinkable three seasons ago. Yuji Itadori — who started this show as a kid who just wanted to save people — is now navigating a world where saving everyone is mathematically impossible.
The animation has been the thing people talk about most in the first few episodes. There is a sequence involving Maki Zenin that has been described by viewers as "absolute cinema." It is. Watch it and understand why this show has one of the most dedicated fanbases in anime right now.
Jujutsu Kaisen is streaming on Crunchyroll. New episodes drop weekly. If you have not started the show — this is not where you begin. Start from Season 1. But if you are already in — the Culling Game arc is everything the buildup promised.
Do not look up spoilers. Just watch it.
