This post contains spoilers for Jujutsu Kaisen.

The Culling Game is the main focus of Jujutsu Kaisen. For years, fans have been waiting to see if MAPPA would really do justice to the manga, and after seeing the recent episodes, it's safe to say that the studio has delivered on all fronts. In addition to the stellar animation, JJK Season 3 is going to have an amazing story, and at the center of it will be Kenjaku.

When Choso was spent, she stepped in to defeat Kenjaku. This is the brutal story of one of Jujutsu Kaisen's most pivotal fights.

In the third season, Tengen has revealed several important details about Kenjaku, including what the latter is trying to accomplish with the Culling Game. Kenjaku has been a constant threat to humanity for centuries, and after sealing Gojo Satoru, he is one step closer to his plan.

  • He is one step closer to accomplishing his goal

In the latest episode, Tengen revealed that Kenjaku has been planning to evolve the people throughout Japan for centuries. It was also confirmed that Tengen, Six Eyes, and the Star Plasma Vessel were connected by fate. That's why it's hardly shocking that Kenjaku was stopped twice by individuals who possess Six Eyes.

After being foiled, Kenjaku decided to eliminate the next user of the technique, as well as the Star Plasma Vessel. Following their extermination, Kenjaku was certain that he could set his plan into motion. Unfortunately for him, fate was at play, and on the day of Tengen's assimilation, Six Eyes and the Star Plasma Vessel appeared again.

Despite his failure, Kenjaku didn't give up and decided to alter his strategy again. Instead of killing the next user of Six Eyes, Kenjaku decided to seal him away, which is why he began pursuing the Prison Realm. In addition to acquiring the object, Kenjaku got a massive boost when Toji Fushiguro killed the Star Plasma Vessel, breaking the chains of fate that tied it to Tengen and Six Eyes. The interference of an outsider proved to be highly beneficial to Kenjaku's plan, helping him to get closer to his goal.

Good things kept happening to him as he also found Suguru Geto, a sorcerer with the ability to manipulate curses. When Geto was killed, Kenjaku took the opportunity with both hands and took over the sorcerer's body. The next step in his plan was to seal Gojo Satoru, which is why he orchestrated the Shibuya Incident. Fortunately for him, everything played out how he wanted, and Gojo Satoru was sealed in the Prison Realm.

As the person responsible for the Culling Game, it's quite obvious that Kenjaku is the primary antagonist of Jujutsu Kaisen's third season. Since Yuji and his allies have already been briefed by Tengen about Kenjaku's goals, they must try to stop him at all costs. Tsukumo and Choso decided to stay behind to protect Tengen in case Kenjaku decided to strike. Meanwhile, Megumi and Maki are heading to the Zenin clan treasury to look for some tools. This leaves Yuji and Yuta, and they have been tasked with recruiting Hakari, a third-year student at Jujutsu High who has been suspended. With everyone's role decided, fans can expect the next few episodes of Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 to be full of action and drama.

How is Jujutsu Kaisen aiming to go bigger than the Shibuya Incident? Only a huge battle royale set across the country, of course.

In addition to stopping Kenjaku, Yuji and his friends also have to save Gojo Satoru from the Prison Realm. Tengen has already stated that a sorcerer named Angel can erase Cursed Techniques, so she could potentially free Gojo. Normally, they could have used the Inverted Spear of Heaven or Black Rope, but both of them have been destroyed.

In any other situation, the heroes could have delayed Gojo Satoru's rescue, but since humanity's fate hangs in the balance, it would be foolish to do so. Therefore, it is imperative that Gojo Satoru is saved because he is the one person who is so powerful that he can take down any enemy. Without him, humanity runs the risk of being exterminated and becoming something else completely. Hopefully, JJK Season 3 will reveal more details about Gojo Satoru's rescue and his role in the upcoming arcs.
