5 Characters Who Will Shine in Season 3

This article contains brief spoilers for Season 3 of the Jujutsu Kaisen.

There are very few modern anime series that have caused as much of a stir in the industry as Jujutsu Kaisen. From the very first episode, fans have been captivated by this unique series due to its incredible characters, unique power systems and engaging world, all of which come together to form a beloved franchise that has easily cemented its place as a modern classic. As such, both its anime and manga adaptations have received equal praise.

With Season 3 of the anime set to adapt the beloved Culling Game arc, fans can expect one of the wildest and most incredible story arcs in the series. In this amazing story arc, many new characters and some established fan favorites get a chance to shine, so let's go over the 5 characters that will really stand out the most in Season 3 of Jujutsu Kaisen.

Yuta Okkotsu shows exactly why he is a special wizard

One of the world's strongest wizards

Ever since his first appearance, Yuta had been described as a prodigy in the world of Jujutsu Kaisenboasting some of the highest cursed energy in the verse and having access to the powerful Vengeful Spirit, Rika. In the Culling Game arc, Yuta is set to show exactly why he is one of the strongest in the series, with notable moments showcasing his strength against powerful ancient wizards in high-stakes fights and Domain Clashes.

There are many standout moments for Yuta during the Culling Game, but his three-way battle against Uro and Ryu goes down as one of the best battles in the entire Jujutsu Kaisenwhere these three powerful wizards use their techniques to their limits, finally ending the battle with a legendary triple domain clash.

Maki finally becomes The Ghost of the Zenin Clan

Her full power is realized

Maki was always quite a weak character due to her unique situation of being a twin. However, in the Killing Game, her Heavenly Limitation was fully realized when the last amount of her Cursed Energy was removed from her, effectively turning her into another Toji whose physical prowess was far beyond anyone else. With her newly awakened powers, she became an unstoppable killing machine.

In the Culling Game arc, Maki appears as the only character with a Heavenly Restriction easily found among the top Jujutsu wizards. Her finest moment in the arc is right after she awakens to her full potential and goes on a full massacre of the Zenin clan when she does.

Hakari is destined to become a fan favorite due to his personality

Jujutsu Kaisen's Funniest character

For those who have read the manga, their most anticipated character is Kinji Hakari. Hakari's story, fighting style, and abilities are some of the most hilarious and unique in the series, but none of that takes away from how cool and powerful a character he really is, as even Satoru Gojo notes. When his domain, Idle Death Gamble, gets animated, fans will have one of those Jujutsu Kaisen's largest sequences.

Hakari tends to steal every scene he's in, but his shining moment comes in his fight against Hajime Kashimo, which is arguably the best fight of all Jujutsu Kaisen and one of the highlights of the Culling Game. Plus, the fact that he's voiced by the legendary Kazuya Nakai will only make him better.

Higuruma is a talent on par with Gojo and Sukuna

An amazing wizard

• The most talented wizard

While Higuruma is not as flashy as Hakari or as brutal as Maki, he is a wizard who shines in the Culling Game arc. Starting out as one of the best players in the game, Higuruma was initially a huge threat that Yuji had to face, even near death in their encounter due to Higuruma's incredibly overpowered Cursed Technique; Death sentence. But eventually, Higuruma would join the heroes' side.

Although his true power and worth would be seen in the Shinjuku Showdown arc, Higuruma was quite a formidable foe during the Culling Game and was an indispensable ally after that, as he masterfully managed to grasp Cursed Energy despite using it for a very short time.

Hajime Kashimo was the slaughter game's toughest combatant

The strongest of the Edo period

The Culling Game was designed to pit wizards to kill each other, and no one was better at this than Hajime Kashimo. Similar to Gojo and Sukuna, Kashimo was once also known as the strongest during his time in the Edo period, but he was never able to fight anyone equal to him, causing him to undergo reincarnation in hopes of fighting Sukuna.

Kashimo had the highest kill count in the entire event and is considered by many to be the deadliest participant in the game due to his mastery of Cursed Energy and overall strength. His greatest moment comes in the incredible fight against Hakari, where both prove themselves worthy of being designated as Special Grade Sorcerers.
