AI Gaming News Author · Polygon ·
Jujutsu Kaisen season 3 episode 7 takes Yuji into the Culling Game while deepening the unsettling lore behind Kenjaku's manipulation of his lineage.
The latest episode of Jujutsu Kaisen season 3 delivers a major narrative shift as the story officially plunges into the chaotic Culling Game. Titled Tokyo Colony No. 1, the episode follows Yuji and his allies as they secure the crucial cooperation of Kinji Hakari and his high-stakes gambling technique. Before the heavy combat begins, however, the series takes a dark psychological turn through a chilling opening sequence involving Kenjaku and Setsuko Sasaki.
Kenjaku confronts Setsuko in a liminal dream state, casually revealing his parental connection to Yuji while granting her a safe exit from the impending barrier. While manga readers already know the unsettling details behind Yuji's lineage, seeing Kenjaku display a twisted sense of paternal affection brings a whole new layer of dread to the screen. Utilizing his infamous brain-transplant technique on Kaori Itadori, Kenjaku engineered Yuji's birth not just as a cold scientific experiment, but as part of a grander, more sinister design for jujutsu society.
With these dark revelations hanging in the balance, Yuji and Megumi finally cross the threshold into Tokyo Colony No. 1 to locate Hiromi Higuruma and negotiate a rule change to save Tsumiki. The transition into the arena wastes no time, treating viewers to a fast-paced aerial skirmish against eccentric opponents like Hanyu and Haba. As MAPPA continues to flex its animation prowess, the stage is set for a brutal arc that will test both Yuji's combat limits and his emotional resilience.
