Jujutsu Kaisen Creator Outs Their Biggest Culling Game Regret

As a dedicated fan and avid follower of Jujutsu Kaisen, I have been eagerly anticipating each new development in this captivating series. The recent conclusion of the second season left me stunned and craving for more. However, upon reading the latest interview with creator Gege Akutami, I couldn’t help but reflect on his revelation about regretting the execution of the Culling Game arc.


The second part of Jujutsu Kaisen’s second season concluded with the Shibuya Incident Arc causing chaos in the Jujutsu Tech universe. Following Suguru Geto’s well-executed scheme, Gojo was imprisoned in the Prison Realm, several heroes met their demise, and the Culling Game was initiated. The upcoming third season of MAPPA’s acclaimed supernatural series will focus on the Culling Game, but the arc has already reached its end in the manga. In a recent interview, Gege Akutami, the creator of Jujutsu Kaisen, shared one major disappointment he experienced while developing the Culling Game.

If you’re not entirely up-to-speed with the Culling Game, here’s a simplified explanation: Geto sets off a chain reaction that summons an enormous number of cursed energy users who then fight each other to prove their dominance. Following the Shibuya Incident, Yuji Itadori is hunted by both good and bad forces due to the devastation caused by Sukuna’s rampage. Jujutsu Tech has consequently placed a price on Yuji’s head. Unluckily for Yuji, his pursuer is none other than Yuta Okkotsu from “Jujutsu Kaisen 0”.

Jujutsu Kaisen: The Culling Game’s Regret

Akutami expressed regret in a recent interview over not transforming the Culling Game into a tournament format during its creation. By doing so, he aimed to build anticipation for newly introduced characters by sharing their backstories before their appearance and creating intrigue around their potential encounters, such as “When will they join the fray? What will transpire if they clash?” and “What an opportune moment for this character’s arrival!”

Manga fans are unsure how many more installments “Jujutsu Kaisen” may have, but creator Akutami has confirmed that the ongoing arc will mark its conclusion. The tension in the final battle has reached an all-time high, making it doubtful that any of the anime’s protagonists will emerge unscathed from this climactic encounter. (Paraphrased version)
