Jujutsu Kaisen Drops Hilarious Chibi Recap of Culling Game

If you’ve been left scratching your head after the latest Jujutsu Kaisen episodes, you’re not alone. The third season’s recent outing copped a fair bit of flak for its tangled web of rules, flow charts, and motives that left even the keenest fans a bit lost. But the anime’s creators have come up with a clever fix—a chibi-style explainer that cuts through the confusion in under three minutes.

Rather than another round of Tengen rattling off regulations, this new video takes a different tack. It’s more like a visual novel, trimming away the excess and getting straight to the heart of the Culling Game arc. The result? A breezy, easy-to-digest summary that’s a far cry from the usual info overload.

Breaking Down the Culling Game

At the centre of the chaos is Kenjaku, a villainous sorcerer with a plan to pit other sorcerers against each other in set zones—called ‘barriers’—all across Japan. His goal? To whip up cursed energy and fuse the entire country, even roping in regular folks and turning them into sorcerers for his own dodgy purposes.

The Jujutsu crew, stuck in a seemingly impossible spot, need to track down a sorcerer known as Angel. She’s the key to cracking open the Prison Realm, where Gojo’s been locked away. If they can pull it off, Gojo might just be able to put a stop to Kenjaku’s twisted game once and for all.

Points, Perils, and Prison Realms

Of course, nothing’s ever that simple. The Culling Game’s rules are as arbitrary as they come. To change the game, a sorcerer has to rack up 100 points, which lets them add a new rule. The plan? Use Angel’s Cursed Technique to break the Prison Realm and free Gojo. But there’s a catch—you only earn points by taking out other sorcerers (five points a pop) or non-sorcerers (just one point each). It’s a brutal system that forces everyone’s hand.

So, that’s the lay of the land. The group’s stuck in a deadly contest, trying to bend the rules in their favour while dodging Kenjaku’s schemes. It’s a lot to take in, and even the most diehard fans have found themselves reaching for a notepad.

Chibi Recap to the Rescue

If you’re still feeling a bit muddled, you’re not alone. The Culling Game arc is easily one of the most complicated setups in recent anime memory. Thankfully, this new chibi recap is here to help. It’s a handy reference for when the plot starts to twist itself into knots, and a welcome bit of comic relief in a season that’s been anything but straightforward.
