Jujutsu Kaisen's Season 3 has been going strong, and it's no surprise as the series continues to deliver one amazing episode after another. With the Culling Games now in full action, we're starting to meet new characters that have been teased for a long time but have never been in the spotlight until now.
Fans of Jujutsu Kaisen know that the Jujutsu world is a complicated place where power is not always enough. The combat system in the series is a combination of the Binding Vows, Cursed Energy properties, and the pinnacle of sorcery: the domain expansion. The pursuit of most wizards is a “guaranteed hit” that kills the enemy instantly, yet Gege Akutami introduced a character whose existence does not follow the usual norms. Kinji Hakari is a great contrast to the world of strong fighters and ancient curses, yet a high-stakes player who regards the battlefield as a playing field, proving that luck is the most lethal weapon in the hands of a professional.
Each main Jujutsu Kaisen character's age, height and birthday
Jujutsu Kaisen is among the biggest ongoing anime. Here are some basic details fans should know about the main characters as they join the adventure.
Who is Kinji Hakari?
The third year wizard that even Gojo respected
Kinji Hakari is a third year (high school) student suspended from Tokyo Jujutsu High. His fame is not so much about school work as it is about his rough character and his underground fight club. His suspension was a result of a confrontation with the higher-ups regarding the modernity of his technology. Despite this, he is recognized as one of the most powerful wizards in existence. Even Satoru Gojo has mentioned Hakari with Yuta Okkotsu as one of his students who will one day be able to compete with his strength. Hakari thrives on the thrill of high-stakes gaming, and his fighting style is a perfect representation of that addiction.
Pure Love Train: Romance Tropes As A Weapon
Visualizing a Shōnen Romance Manga into mortal reality, love hurts as they say
Hakari possesses a special cursed energy trait before he can expand his domain. The power of Hakari is unlike that of Yuji, who uses his power bluntly, or Gojo, who uses his energy with perfect precision. Hakari's cursed technique hits are considered rough or jagged, like sandpaper or barbed wire to his enemies. His natural style, Private Pure Love Train, is based on a fictional romance manga. He can manifest elements from the story, such as “shutter doors” to crush his opponents or “ball effects” to disrupt their movements. All of these are components of the pachinko machine that serve as previews of his true power.
Idle Death Gamble: The most complex domain in history
Spam the house until the jackpot hits
Hakari's domain expansion, “Idle Death Gamble” (Zasatsu Bakuto), is a technical masterpiece when you think about it, a domain so unique yet so clever. It's a non-lethal exchange where a guaranteed kill is exchanged for a guaranteed info hit. The complex rules are immediately hammered into the opponent's mind when it is opened. The domain resembles a pachinko game where Hakari must match three similar symbols to win.
He uses visual cues, such as the change in the background color or the appearance of characters, and the successive effects to increase his chances. In case of failure, he can recreate the results and the domain continues to run until he lands on the prize. Since the domain itself is non-lethal and the rules are its sure strike, the activation speed is incredibly high, and it can scare even the most experienced wizards. Think of his domain as a kind of gacha game where every time you lose a jackpot, the odds of the next try increase until you hit sin, and it's a guaranteed jackpot.

The four minutes and eleven seconds of immortality
When Hakari finally hits the jackpot, the real “fever” begins. To be precise, Hakari achieves unlimited Cursed Energy during the 4 minutes and 11 seconds of the theme song playing in his romance manga, *Admiring You. This is so huge that, in response, his body automatically uses the Reverse Cursed Technique (RCT) to avoid taking lethal damage.
In this state, Hakari is basically immortal. He can regenerate limbs, organs, even his brain in place. He doesn't need to consider healing, his body does it as a reflex due to the infinite cursed energy flowing through him. This turns him into the invincible tank of the series, capable of taking enemy blows that would literally have killed any other wizard, with the sole exception of Satoru Gojo, of course.

A suspended player and a reincarnated “god” enter a shipyard. It's either the start of a joke or a Jujutsu Kaisen fight.
Hakari vs. Kashimo: A duel of infinite stakes
Peak Fiction fans can't wait
The battle with Hajime Kashimo at the Culling Games is widely regarded as one of the greatest battles in the Jujutsu Kaisen. Kashimo, an ancient lightning-wielding sorcerer who lived 400 years ago, was the ideal opposite of Hakari, as both never knew when to back down and thirsted for battle. The 4 minute 11 second fight scene showed Kashimo trying to determine when Hakari would run out of immortality so he could make a fatal strike.
Turn up the volume!! Because this is a funeral for the living!! – Hajime Kashimo
Kashimo even went as far as trying to blow Hakari's head off with a discharge of lighting to ward off the RCT at its source, but Hakari was lucky and was able to dissipate the cursed energy through his nose, healing himself at the same time. It was an awesome, awesome game of chess that showed that Hakari isn't just a fighter who isn't just lucky, he's a genius who knows how to make everything work to his advantage.
Player Error: Does Hakari have a weakness?
Relies entirely on a streak that must eventually end
Despite his immortality, Hakari's biggest weakness is the “starting phase”. Before he hits a jackpot, he's “just” a high-level wizard with gross Cursed Energy, but not someone who can't be killed if caught off guard. If an opponent can kill him in the domain before the symbols match, it's game over for him. Also, his immortality is so closely related to the timer.

Jujutsu Kaisen has taken the anime community by storm thanks to its amazing cast and engaging premise. Fans should watch these amazing anime.
When the music stops, he has a small window where he has to restart his domain to restart the process. Hakari's only natural enemy is a smart opponent who can withstand the attack for 4 minutes and then hit Hakari during that time, but that's just how losers would think.
