Kinji Hakari vs. Itadori Yuji, explained

Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 just keeps getting better and better. So far, the anime has covered the Itadori Extermination and Perfect Preparation arcs, both of which have some excellent moments. The Perfect Preparation arc in particular is filled with some phenomenal sequences. Of course, manga readers were already aware of what the arc would be like, but anime viewers went in without any information. However, it seems that both sections of the fanbase are happy with the adaptation so far.

Jujutsu Kaisen: Why Season 3 Will Have the Biggest Fights Yet

How does Jujutsu Kaisen aim to be bigger than the Shibuya incident? Just a huge battle royale that takes place across the country, of course.

JJK Season 3 recently released its sixth episode, and it featured an intense showdown between Itadori Yuji and Kinji Hakari. As fans will recall, Yuji went to the Gachinko Fight Club to try to persuade Kinji Hakari to join his group. Before Yuji had even entered, Megumi warned him of Kinji Hakari's disdain for Jujutsu High. He told Yuji to be careful, but Kinji still found out. While the two were still inside the room, Megumi and Panda had teamed up to subdue Kirara. They knew that Kirara was the key to reaching Hakari.

But her cursed technology made it extremely difficult to do so. Megumi and Panda had to lose their brains and coordinate with each other to learn how Kirara's cursed technique worked. After struggling a lot, Megumi finally found the weakness and subsequently defeated her. He then convinced her that they were not with Jujutsu High and only wanted Hakari's help to free Gojo Satoru and to save Tsukimi.

When Kinji Hakari found out about Itadori Yuji's affiliation with Jujutsu High, Kinji Hakari wasted no time in overthrowing him. He was in no mood to listen as he thought Yuji was working for Jujutsu High. Despite being hit several times, Yuji did not defend himself as he wanted to show his determination. Unfortunately, Kinji Hakari was not impressed by Yuji's behavior, and continued to attack. Thankfully, Kirara spoke up, causing Hakari to realize that Yuji had made him upset.

Hakari also understood that Yuji had no great ambitions, but he wanted to play his part in exterminating cursed spirits so that people throughout Japan could live in peace. With Hakari convinced, things were finally looking good for the heroes. The episode didn't end there though, as Kogane appeared.

Hajime Kashimo is an extremely strong wizard

Hajime Kashimo will soon reveal his strength

• Kashimo has added a new rule to the Culling Game

• He is a dangerously powerful wizard

Just as Hakari finished fighting, Kogane came in nearby and announced that a new rule had been added to the Culling Game. It was later revealed that a wizard named Hajime Kashimo had accumulated 200 points in the Culling Game. The wizard seemed to be looking for Sukuna, but kept running into weak opponents. Kashimo also said that things were better 400 years ago, suggesting that he has lived for centuries or has been brought back by Kenjaku.

Since Kashimo had more than 200 points, he decided to add a new rule to Culling. According to the rule, a player can see the name, score, number of rules added and the colony of other players. The whole reason Hajime Kashimo chose the rule was to locate strong opponents so he wouldn't have to go after weaklings.

Considering that Hajime Kashimo has already accumulated 200 points, it is safe to say that he is an extremely strong wizard. Not only are his physical abilities impressive, but it seems he has plenty of experience in fighting. Although it is unclear how Kashimo was brought back, it is safe to assume that he has retained his memories and experiences. This makes Hajime Kashimo a dangerous opponent, as he can rely on his battle experience to secure victory over his enemies. As the story progresses, fans will get to see Hajime Kashimo's cursed technique and his fighting prowess. Until then, they have to be patient and let everything play out.

The Culling Game will be a great challenge for Itadori Yuji

As previously mentioned, Hajime Kashimo is a participant in the Culling Game, and he has already started hunting down other competitors, likely to test his strength. After adding a ninth rule, things have become even more interesting. Kashimo added the rule because he wanted to find interesting targets that would pose a threat to him. Meanwhile, the other Culling Game participants also have access to the ability, allowing them to make wise choices. Those who are weak will stay away from the stronger ones to avoid being killed. At the same time, the rule will make it easier for powerful fighters like Kashimo to track competitors with a lot of points. It is likely that everyone participating in the Culling Game has been informed by Kagone of the new rule.

The rule can also become extremely beneficial for Itadori Yuji, as he must also find a way to save Tsukimi from a tragic end. But to reach the goals, Yuji and his friends must collect points quickly, because if Tsukimi ends up in the Culling Game, her fate is sealed. Thankfully, Itadori Yuji and his group have some excellent fighters, so they shouldn't have too many problems.

In addition to saving Tsukimi, Yuji must also free Gojo Satoru from the prison realm. The latter was sealed by Kenjaku during the Shibuya Incident, which robbed humanity of its greatest weapon. Itadori and his allies know they must save Gojo at all costs.

Itadori must save Gojo Satoru at any cost

Without him, humanity's chances of winning the battle against curses would be greatly reduced. Thankfully, Tengen gave Itadori a big lead. He told the wizard to seek out a wizard named Angel, as she has the power to erase all cursed techniques. If Itadori succeeds in convincing her, Gojo Satoru will be free again, and humanity can breathe a sigh of relief.

By sealing Gojo Satoru, Kenjaku came one step closer to his plan to evolve humans. According to Tengen, the ancient wizard had been failing for centuries, but now he was getting closer to his goal. Since the Culling Game has already started, Kenjaku will plan to target Tengen as he is needed to complete the process. But Kenjaku has to fight against Choso and Tsukumo, who are both elite fighters. Kenjaku will be wary of their strength, but at the same time he knows his own power.
