Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 Episode 3 is making the fan community more "mind-boggled" than ever due to the huge amount of information and dense specialized terminology. If you feel the plot is starting to get tangled with concepts of assimilation, barriers, or the Culling Game, don't worry, you're not alone! Let Hobiverse help you break down the most important details in JJK S3 Episode 3 in the most concise and easy-to-understand way.
Objectives to achieve before the Culling Game
To be honest, after a few episodes full of dialogue, many people might find Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 Episode 3 a bit boring due to the lack of action. However, this is a crucial stepping stone to outline the plan to save the world. Currently, the protagonists are facing a stack of "deadlines":
Rescue Gojo: This is the top priority, but to do so, they need to find a mysterious character named Angel, who possesses a cursed technique that can remove all seals.
Participate in the Culling Game: Yuji's group must venture into this death game to earn points, thereby adding new rules to prevent murder and save Tsumiki (Megumi's sister).
Protect Tengen: Yuki and Choso are tasked with guarding this entity, because if Kenjaku captures Tengen, humanity will face the risk of being completely "reset."

The Culling Game and its "vicious" rules
To understand Jujutsu Kaisen S3 Episode 3, you must grasp Kenjaku's rules. Essentially, this is a spiritual version of a brutal survival game:
Participate or die: Those marked by Kenjaku with a cursed technique must enter a barrier within 19 days, or their cursed technique will be stripped and they will die.
Kill for points: 1 point for a normal person and 5 points for a sorcerer. You need 100 points to gain the right to add a new rule to the game.
Maintain score: If a player's score doesn't change for 19 days, they will also be eliminated (die).
Additionally, each player will have a supporting mascot named Kogane, used to update information and scores throughout Jujutsu Kaisen S3 Episode 3.
The problem is that rules can be added by anyone. What if someone else adds rules before Yuji's group and makes the situation worse? This is what makes everyone so uneasy. No one truly controls the game.
Why did everything get so bad?
Many of you might wonder why an entity as strong as Tengen is so vulnerable. The answer lies in "karma." In the past, the Six Eyes, Star Plasma Vessel, and Tengen were always bound together to ensure successful assimilation.
And 12 years ago, Toji defeated Satoru Gojo (Six Eyes) and murdered Riko (Star Plasma Vessel) right before the assimilation ceremony. Because Riko died and there was no replacement vessel, Tengen could not assimilate and gradually lost his physical form, becoming a purely spiritual existence and easily manipulated by Cursed Spirit Manipulation.
Seizing the opportunity, Kenjaku possessed Suguru Geto's body to acquire the Cursed Spirit Manipulation technique, and also devoured Mahito to gain Idle Transfiguration. Now, he has all the cards in his hand to turn all of Japan into a gigantic cursed energy furnace.
It can be said that if not for Toji's interference, Kenjaku's Culling Game plan would have remained just an idea on paper forever.
Unforeseeable variables
Despite dividing the tasks, the journey in Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 Episode 3 is still full of risks. We still don't know what Sukuna is scheming, or how the intervention from the Zenin clan and the higher-ups of the jujutsu society will change the situation. Especially, seeking help from Kinji Hakari (third-year) and Maki's plan to retrieve weapons from the Zenin clan will be explosive upcoming developments.
In summary, this is an episode that explains and sets the stage for the long battle ahead. We hope this article from Hobiverse has helped you grasp Yuji's group's objectives, the rules of the Culling Game, and Kenjaku's sinister plot to be ready for the next fiery battles!
How do you feel about Kenjaku's plan in Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 Episode 3? Will Yuji's group be able to save Gojo before it's too late? Stay tuned for upcoming articles for updates!
