Hajime Kashimo

First Appearance: Chapter #158

Like Yorozu, Hajime Kashimo is a reincarnated sorcerer pulled from the past—reborn from 400 years ago through a binding pact with Kenjaku. But where others seek survival or ideology, Kashimo wants only one thing: a true fight. His participation in the Culling Game is driven by a singular obsession—the chance to finally stand before Ryomen Sukuna and test his strength against the strongest being to ever exist.

Whether that long-awaited clash lives up to his expectations is another story entirely. What’s undeniable, however, is the sheer spectacle Kashimo brings to the battlefield. His lightning-based cursed energy crackles with violence, turning every encounter into a storm waiting to explode. There’s a raw, almost primal intensity to the way he fights—direct, merciless, and electrifying in every sense of the word.

Kashimo’s Cursed Technique, Mythical Beast Amber, announces its presence early on during his brutal confrontation with Kinji Hakari. The fight doesn’t just showcase Kashimo’s overwhelming power—it establishes him as a force that refuses to be ignored. Though he begins the arc as an adversary, shifting circumstances eventually push him to switch sides, proving that his allegiance lies not with factions, but with the pursuit of combat itself.

That relentless hunger for action—the need to feel alive through battle—is what makes Kashimo so compelling. He isn’t chasing victory or justice; he’s chasing meaning through violence. And when he finally makes his anime debut in Season 3, that storm of ambition and electricity may very well earn him a devoted fanbase of his own.

Fumihiko Takaba

First Appearance: Chapter #146

Among the chaos, cruelty, and relentless despair of Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3, Fumihiko Takaba arrives as something utterly unexpected: levity with teeth. A newly awakened sorcerer and a failed stand-up comedian, Takaba isn’t just comic relief—he’s the embodiment of absurdity weaponized.

True to his profession, Takaba’s Cursed Technique, Comedian, bends reality itself around his sense of humor. Anything he genuinely finds funny can become real, turning life-or-death battles into surreal performances filled with bizarre, laugh-inducing twists. Mid-fight punchlines, visual gags, and tonal whiplash aren’t accidents—they’re his greatest weapons.

But beneath the silliness lies something terrifyingly powerful. Despite its ridiculous premise, Comedian is one of the most broken abilities in the series, operating on a logic that completely ignores conventional rules of combat. As long as Takaba is laughing, reality has no choice but to follow suit.

And that’s what makes him so dangerous. What begins as a joke slowly escalates into something monumental, as Takaba unexpectedly finds himself playing a pivotal role against one of the series’ final antagonists. In a world drowning in tragedy, Fumihiko Takaba proves that sometimes the strongest curse of all… is laughter.

Hana Kurusu / Angel

First Appearance: Chapter #145

With Satoru Gojo sealed away inside the Prison Realm during the Shibuya Incident, the balance of the jujutsu world collapses overnight. In the aftermath, one name rises above all others as a beacon of desperate hope: Hana Kurusu—or rather, the ancient sorcerer residing within her, known as Angel.

Going into the Culling Game Arc, Angel may very well be the single most important character in the entire series. The reason is simple and terrifyingly absolute: she is the only known being capable of breaking the Prison Realm’s seal and freeing Gojo. As a result, locating Angel becomes one of the central objectives of the arc, turning Hana into a walking miracle—and a massive target.

Yet Hana is far more than just a plot device. Beneath her gentle demeanor lies a complicated past, shaped by survival, faith, and possession. Her story is intricately tied to Megumi Fushiguro, hinting at emotional threads that run far deeper than chance encounters. This connection adds a quiet, human vulnerability to a character carrying the weight of the world on her shoulders.

And then there’s Angel herself—an entity driven by a singular, ominous mission and an intense hatred for a mysterious figure referred to only as the “Fallen One.” What that relationship truly entails, and how it reshapes the fate of everyone involved, is a revelation fans will have to wait for Season 3 to fully uncover. In a game defined by violence and betrayal, Hana Kurusu stands at the crossroads of salvation and judgment.

Hiromi Higuruma

First Appearance: Chapter #158

Among the many combatants introduced during the Culling Game Arc, Hiromi Higuruma stands apart as one of Jujutsu Kaisen’s most intellectually and morally compelling characters. Where most sorcerers wield brute force or raw cursed energy, Higuruma fights with judgment itself—a reflection of the life he once lived before curses ever entered it.

Before awakening as a sorcerer, Higuruma was a defense attorney, crushed by a justice system that punished the innocent and protected the guilty. That disillusionment bleeds directly into his Cursed Technique, Judgeman, and his Domain Expansion, Deadly Sentencing. Inside his domain, violence gives way to a twisted courtroom, where sins are weighed, verdicts are passed, and punishment is absolute. There is no dodging the law here—only facing it.

What makes Higuruma so fascinating isn’t just the creativity of his abilities, but the philosophy behind them. His battles aren’t simple clashes of power; they’re moral trials, forcing his opponents to confront guilt, responsibility, and the consequences of their actions.

Season 3 is expected to adapt his unforgettable confrontation with Yuji Itadori, a fight that transcends physical combat and becomes a clash of ideals, trauma, and justice. Between Higuruma’s tragic worldview and his terrifyingly fair Domain, this battle—and the man behind it—will be one of the most essential moments to watch when Jujutsu Kaisen returns.
