Few recent anime series have become as popular as Jujutsu Kaisen.

Both the anime and manga versions have been widely praised for their quality.

Season 3 of the anime will cover the highly anticipated Culling Game arc, promising a thrilling and unforgettable storyline. This arc introduces a host of new characters while giving some familiar faces a chance to take center stage. Here’s a look at 5 characters who are expected to be particularly impactful in the upcoming season of Jujutsu Kaisen.

Yuta Okkotsu Shows Exactly Why He Is A Special Grade Sorcerer

One of the World’s Strongest Sorcerers

Story Arc Cursed Child Arc
  • The Cursed Child

From the beginning, Yuta has been recognized as an incredibly talented sorcerer in Jujutsu Kaisen, possessing a massive amount of Cursed Energy and the ability to channel the powerful spirit, Rika. Now, during the Culling Game arc, he’s finally demonstrating why he’s considered one of the series’ strongest characters, with impressive battles against formidable and ancient sorcerers, including intense Domain Clashes.

Yuta’s fight against Uro and Ryu in the Culling Game is considered one of the best battles in all of Jujutsu Kaisen. The three incredibly powerful sorcerers pushed their abilities to the maximum, culminating in an unforgettable clash of Domain Expansions.

Maki Finally Becomes The Ghost Of The Zenin Clan

Her Full Power Is Realized

  • The Ghost of the Zenin

Maki always struggled with her limited cursed energy, a result of being a twin. But during the Culling Game, this changed completely. Losing the last of her cursed energy unlocked her full potential, granting her incredible physical strength – surpassing even that of Toji. This transformation turned her into a devastatingly powerful fighter.

During the Culling Game storyline, Maki is unique as the only character with a Heavenly Restriction who quickly rises to become one of the most powerful jujutsu sorcerers. A key moment showcasing her strength is when she fully unlocks her potential and decisively defeats the Zenin clan.

Hakari Is Destined To Become A Fan Favorite Because Of His Personality

Jujutsu Kaisen’s Most Fun Character

Story Arc Fearsome Womb Arc
  • The Restless Gambler

Fans of the Jujutsu Kaisen manga have been especially excited to see Kinji Hakari animated. He’s known for his funny and original fighting style and powers, but he’s also a genuinely awesome and strong character – even Satoru Gojo recognizes that! When his Domain Expansion, Idle Death Gamble, is finally animated, it’s expected to be one of the most memorable action sequences in the series.

Hakari consistently steals the show whenever he appears, but his fight against Hajime Kashimo is truly his peak moment. Many fans consider it the best fight in all of Jujutsu Kaisen and a major highlight of the Culling Game arc. Adding to his appeal, he’s voiced by the incredibly talented Kazuya Nakai, which only makes the character even better.

Higuruma Is A Talent On The Same Tier As Gojo And Sukuna

A Prodigious Sorcerer

First Appearance Jujutsu Kaisen, Chapter 143, “One More Time”
Story Arc Culling Game Arc
  • The Most Talented Sorcerer

Higuruma might not be as visually impressive as Hakari or as fierce as Maki, but he’s a powerful sorcerer who stands out during the Culling Game. He began as a major force in the game, posing a serious threat to Yuji – their fight nearly ended in Yuji’s defeat thanks to Higuruma’s incredibly strong Cursed Technique, Deadly Sentencing. Ultimately, though, Higuruma ended up fighting alongside the heroes.

Higuruma proved to be a powerful opponent during the Culling Game, and later became a valuable ally. Remarkably, he quickly grasped the complexities of Cursed Energy, despite only using it for a brief period, with his full potential becoming clear during the Shinjuku Showdown.

Hajime Kashimo Was The Culling Game’s Fiercest Combatant

The Strongest Of The Edo Period

First Appearance Jujutsu Kaisen, Chapter 158, “Kogane”
Story Arc Culling Game
  • The God of Lightning

I’m absolutely fascinated by the Culling Game – it was basically set up to force sorcerers to fight to the death, and Hajime Kashimo was a total master of it! Like Gojo and Sukuna, he was considered the strongest sorcerer back in the Edo period, but he always craved a truly equal opponent. That’s why he purposefully reincarnated – he was determined to finally get the fight he always wanted, against Sukuna!

Kashimo was responsible for defeating more opponents than anyone else in the event, leading many to consider him the most dangerous fighter. He’s incredibly skilled with Cursed Energy and possesses immense strength. His fight against Hakari was a highlight, proving that both sorcerers deserve their Special Grade ranking.

Jujutsu Kaisen can be streamed on Crunchyroll.
