Jujutsu Kaisen: The Culling Game Part 1

A nation‑wide sorcerer death‑match erupts as a hidden mastermind seeks humanity's end.

When the enigmatic sorcerer Kenjaku—now masquerading as Suguru Geto—unleashes the final phase of his millennia‑long scheme, the fragile balance of the jujutsu world shatters. With Satoru Gojo rendered helpless by Kenjaku’s machinations, the Jujutsu Higher Council resurrects the death sentence on 15‑year‑old Yuji Itadori, a move that forces him into a grim vigil over the desolate streets of Tokyo. Alongside the stoic cursed spirit Choso, Yuji hunts down rogue curses, unaware that his every step is being watched by forces intent on his downfall. Meanwhile, the Zenin clan’s internal power struggle erupts as the haughty Naoya Zenin watches his lineage crumble when Megumi Fushiguro is named heir. Determined to eliminate the threat, Naoya targets Yuji, while the vengeful spirit Yuuta Okkotsu steps forward as the very executioner the council has appointed. All the while, Kenjaku ignites the "Culling Game," a nationwide deathmatch that pits sorcerers against each other in a deadly contest for survival and supremacy. As the young exorcists are drawn into the chaotic arena, they must confront personal vendettas, rescue Gojo, and thwart Kenjaku’s vision of humanity’s eradication before the entire nation is consumed by cursed bloodshed.
