Jujutsu Kaisen Shocks Fans With Maki Zenin’s “Musou-Style” Battle Scene “It’s like Kill Bill” and “She’s wiping out enemies like a Musou game,” fans react

The fourth episode of Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3, Culling Game: Part 1 (Episode 51 overall), titled “Sedge Grass”, aired on the 23rd and quickly ignited buzz online—thanks in large part to Maki Zenin’s overwhelming combat sequence.

In the episode, the characters begin moving into action to bring the deadly Culling Game to an end. Seeking to strengthen her combat capabilities before entering the game, Maki heads to the Zenin clan estate to recover cursed tools. Ignoring the verbal abuse hurled at her by Naoya Zenin and her mother’s desperate attempts to stop her, Maki presses on toward the clan’s forbidden armory.

When she opens the door, she is met not with cursed tools, but with a blood-soaked scene: her sister Mai lying gravely wounded, and her father, Ogi Zenin, standing before her. From that moment, Maki’s story takes a decisive—and brutal—turn.

Introduction

October 31, 2018.

As Halloween festivities fill the area around Shibuya Station, a mysterious “veil” suddenly descends, trapping countless civilians inside.

Entering the scene alone is Satoru Gojo, the strongest jujutsu sorcerer of the modern era. However, curse users and cursed spirits plotting to seal Gojo are lying in wait. Yuji Itadori and many other jujutsu sorcerers gather in Shibuya, and an unprecedented large-scale clash of curses, the “Shibuya Incident,” begins.

The battle then leads into the deadly killing game known as the “Culling Game,” orchestrated by the worst sorcerer in history, Kenjaku (Noritoshi Kamo). After the Shibuya Incident, ten barriers across Japan turn into demon-infested colonies.

Amid this overwhelming chaos, special grade sorcerer Yuta Okkotsu stands in Yuji’s path as the appointed executioner of his death sentence. Even in despair, Yuji continues to fight on, while Okkotsu mercilessly turns his blade toward him. The chaos of curses accelerates.

Yuji and Yuta, two sorcerers who share the same teacher, are drawn into a fierce battle to the death——.
