This post contains spoilers for Jujutsu Kaisen.

Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 is slowly setting up the stage for the Culling Game arc, but before the anime shifts attention to the competition, it has to cover the Perfect Preparation arc. In JJK Season 3 Episode 5, Itadori and Megumi went to the Gachinko Fight Club to meet with Kinji Hakari, their senior from Jujutsu High.

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

Additionally, the episode also revealed how Masamichi Yaga met his end. The segment wasn't too long, but it was enough to bring tears to the eyes of anyone watching. There was also a scene involving Panda, who came rushing to hug the body of his late father. While Masamichi Yaga's end was tear-jerking, most members of the audience were excited about seeing Kinji Hakari.

In the latest episode, Megumi and Itadori learned that in order to get close to Kinji Hakari, one of them needed to participate in the fights held at the club. Megumi warned Itadori not to give any clues to Kinji Hakari. Otherwise, they would never reach him. Itadori understood the stakes and competed in his fight, which was against Panda.

Yuji and Panda knew they had to put on a show for the audience, and that's exactly what they did. The two kept entertaining the audience, causing Kinji Hakari to take note. After Itadori won, he was sent to meet his senior. As he entered the room, Hakari began lecturing him about various principles of entertainment. Hakari asked him questions, and Itadori did his best to play coy.

Unfortunately, Itadori took things too far and decided to play coy when asked about Gojo Satoru. This confirmed Kinji Hakari's suspicions, and shortly afterward, he attacked Itadori. Before either of them could let loose, the episode ended.

  • JJK Season 3 Episode 6 releases on February 5th
  • The episode will showcase Kinji Hakari and Kirara's powers

Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 Episode 6 will be released on February 5th, 2026. The episode is titled "Cog." With Kinji Hakari learning the truth about Itadori, the latter is in big trouble. Itadori is a powerful fighter in his own right, but he cannot compete against Kinji Hakari, who is on a different level altogether. In fact, Yuta Okkotsu went as far as to call Kinji stronger than him, although he was rebuked by Maki for it. Itadori struggled against Yuta, and everything points to a repeat of the same in the upcoming episode. Kinji Hakari may give Itadori one chance to explain everything, but there's no guarantee of the former agreeing to go along. So, Itadori will have to protect himself from his senior at all costs.

Since a fight between them is inevitable, it's safe to say that the audience will finally get to see the abilities of Kinji Hakari. Considering he runs a fight club and adores gambling, it is highly possible that his cursed technique is related to one of the two. Even if Kinji decides to hold back, fans should still get a decent idea of his strength and what he is truly capable of.

Aside from Kinji, the new episode will also reveal the truth behind Kirara's technique. According to Panda, her ability stops anyone from reaching Kinji's room. It seems to be a defensive technique, as those who approach the room are not hurt in any way.

Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 Episode 6 Might Reveal Other Culling Game Participants

As previously stated, JJK Season 3 is meant to be focused on the Culling Game. With every passing episode, the arc inches closer. Currently, there is limited information available about the participants, but this may change in the sixth episode. Kinji vs. Itadori is unlikely to take up the entire episode, leaving enough time to cover the other competitors who will be a part of the Culling Game.
