Jujutsu Kaisen Drops Fast-Paced Chibi Recap of Culling Game Rules
Jujutsu Kaisen’s latest season delivers a bite-sized, chibi-style video that breaks down the Culling Game’s tangled rules in under three minutes, making the arc’s chaos easier for fans to follow.
Trying to make sense of the Culling Game’s labyrinthine rules in Jujutsu Kaisen? You’re not alone. The third season’s recent episode left many viewers scratching their heads after a whirlwind of charts, regulations, and unclear motives. In response, the anime rolled out a chibi-style summary that distills the arc’s essentials into a quick, easy-to-digest explainer.
Rather than having Tengen drone on about the endless regulations, this recap video takes a visual novel approach, trimming the excess and focusing on the core points. It ’s a refreshing change of pace for anyone who felt overwhelmed by the original episode’s information overload.
Breaking Down the Culling Game
At the heart of the story, the villainous Kenjaku orchestrates a deadly contest, forcing sorcerers to battle within set zones—called barriers—across Japan. His twisted goal? To generate massive amounts of cursed energy and fuse the entire country, even transforming regular people into sorcerers to serve his dark ambitions.
To escape this nightmare, the main crew must track down a mysterious sorcerer known as Angel. Only Angel’s unique Cursed Technique can unlock the Prison Realm, where Gojo is trapped. If they succeed, Gojo might finally put an end to Kenjaku’s plans and the chaos of the Culling Game.
The High Stakes and Complicated Rules
Of course, nothing is ever simple. The Culling Game’s rules are as arbitrary as they are brutal. Sorcerers need to rack up 100 points to introduce a new rule, which is the only way to use Angel’s power to break open the Prison Realm and free Gojo. But earning points isn’t easy—you get five for defeating another sorcerer, and just one for taking out a non-sorcerer.
This setup forces the characters into impossible choices, as they navigate a system that rewards violence and punishes hesitation. The stakes couldn’t be higher, and every decision could tip the balance between survival and disaster.
Making Sense of the Mayhem
If you’re still feeling lost, you’re not alone. The Culling Game stands out as one of the most complex storylines in recent anime memory. Thankfully, this new chibi recap offers a handy reference point for fans who find themselves confused as the season barrels forward. With so many moving parts, it’s a welcome tool for anyone trying to keep up with the action.
