This article contains brief spoilers for season 3 of Jujutsu Kaisen.
The Culling Game arc has been described within the world of Jujutsu Kaisen as the most prolific incidence of Jujutsu-related terrorism in history, mostly because the event saw the reincarnation of some of the most powerful and dangerous sorcerers of all time. Because of this, the world’s power hierarchy changed dramatically.
With Gojo being sealed for the entirety of this arc, and probably for the entire duration of Jujutsu Kaisen’s third season, the Culling Game will see many powerful characters vying for the spot of the strongest in the series. So, in this article, let’s break down the who these characters could be in season 3 of Jujutsu Kaisen.
Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo Chapter 17 Brings Back A Fan Favorite Character
The action continues in Chapter 17 of Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo with the return of a fan favorite character.
Yorozu Is A Powerful Sorcerer From Sukuna’s Time
A Master From The Heian Era
- Cursed Technique: Construction
Yorozu was an incredibly powerful sorcerer from the Heian Era, which means that she was active around the same time as Sukuna himself. During the Culling Game, she gets reincarnated within a modern body and shows an incredible mastery over her Construction Cursed Technique, which allows her to fight Sukuna for a time. Though her technique is the same as Mai’s, Yorozu is far better with it due to her immense Cursed Energy.
Uraume Has A Very Brief Showing During This Arc
Sukuna’s Greatest Ally
- Cursed Technique: Ice Formation
Although Uraume’s time in the Culling Game arc is incredibly brief, they do show tremendous power due to their incredible Ice Formation Cursed Technique. Although they undoubtedly shine much more in the subsequent Shinjuku Showdown arc, the small showcase of their power in season 3 is quite interesting.
Kashimo Was The Leader Of The Culling Game
The Strongest of the Edo Period
- Cursed Technique: Mythical Beast Amber
Though a controversial pick, Hajime Kashimo is placed here for a reason. Due to him saving his one-time-use Cursed Technique for Sukuna, Kashimo restricted himself greatly during the Culling Game to only using his incredible Cursed Energy, which is the main reason he lost against Hakari in their legendary fight. Despite this, Kashimo was such a powerhouse that his Cursed Energy manipulation alone made him the fiercest combatant with the highest points in the entire event.
Hakari Showed Exactly Why Gojo Placed So Much Faith In Him
The Restless Gambler
- Cursed Technique: Private Pure Love Train
One of the stand-out characters of season 3, Hakari is set to completely change the landscape once he makes his anime debut. Not only is his personality infectious, he is also incredibly powerful, with his Cursed Technique allowing him to open rapid Domain Expansions. The fight between him and Kashimo, which Hakari wins, is arguably the best in the entire series.

How is Jujutsu Kaisen aiming to go bigger than the Shibuya Incident? Only a huge battle royale set across the country, of course.
Maki Realizes Her Full Potential In The First Half Of Season 3
The One Who Left It All Behind
Due to her unique situation as a twin with an incomplete Heavenly Restriction, Maki was notoriously weak for the initial parts of Jujutsu Kaisen. However, in season 3, she will fully realize the true extent of her power as she sheds off the last of her Cursed Energy, becoming the next Toji with the most powerful body in the entire setting. As a bonus, she is also outside the confines of Cursed Energy, meaning the rules of the world and Domains don’t apply to her the same way, making her very overpowered.
Yuki Tsukumo Shows Why She Is A Special Grade Sorcerer
An Incredible Fighter
- Cursed Technique: Star Rage
Being one of the only four Special Grade Sorcerers, Yuki is one of the strongest characters in Jujutsu Kaisen. Due to her incredible Cursed Technique allowing her to grant mass to herself, Kenjaku even stated that she is the heaviest hitter in the entire series, with her physical attacks being even stronger than those of Sukuna and Gojo. Yuki has one major fight in season 3 which perfectly shows how powerful she really is.

Yuta Finally Realizes His Cursed Technique And Uses Rika’s Power
The Cursed Child
Fans had been waiting to see Yuta Okkotsu back in action for quite some time, and season 3 will not only reintroduce him, but will finally give a look at his incredible technique and powers. Yuta’s time in the Culling Game is packed with incredible fights and amazing moments where he comes out on top, which is the reason he was able to get the second-highest points in the entire event.
Kenjaku Shows That His Strength Is Just As Great As His Mind
The Mastermind of the Culling Game
- Cursed Technique: Brain Transplant
Everyone came to know Kenjaku as the mastermind behind the Culling Game, but very few could have expected his strength to be on par with his intelligence. Though he really only has one major conflict in season 3, he ends up coming out on top due to his mastery of multiple Cursed Techniques and his insanely powerful Open Domain, which makes him and Sukuna the only ones in the series capable of doing so.
Regret, huh? I’ve forgotten what that feels like.
Sukuna Retains His Position As The Strongest Character In The Series
The King of Curses
- Cursed Technique: Cleave and Dismantle
Coming as no surprise to anyone, the man who has always been known as the strongest in history will retain the title even in season 3. Without spoiling too much, Sukuna manages to realize a devastating power that makes him stronger than he has ever been before, despite not even having all of his fingers at the time. Though his showings aren’t substantial, he still effortlessly defeats some powerful main characters and sets the stage for the greatest battle of his entire life.
Jujutsu Kaisen can be streamed on Crunchyroll and Netflix.
