Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 is currently streaming, and the Culling Game arc from Gege Akutami’s manga has finally arrived. It swings on a heavy pendulum between drawn-out battles and complex world rules. However, Studio MAPPA once again asserts its excellent vision in adapting this material into a visual masterpiece in the first two episodes.

A Haunting Start After the Shibuya Incident

Right off the bat in the first episode "Execution", the show resets its dark tone following the bloodbath of Season 2's Shibuya Incident. We see Yuji Itadori, still traumatized by the devastation Sukuna caused, living in isolation, surviving on energy bars and hunting cursed spirits overruning the city.

The true cinematic highlight arrives with Yuta Okkotsu (watch Jujutsu Kaisen 0 if you need a refresher on his power). The wide shot of Yuta pinning Yuji down is breathtaking, combined with gleaming lighting effects to create a visual that is both tense and artistic.

Peak Action: JJK's Bread and Butter

If there's one thing that makes fans gasp, it's the combat sequences – the franchise's bread and butter. Unlike the back half of the Shibuya arc, these fights are meticulously executed and unrushed, set to that distinctive synth battle score.
