Jujutsu Kaisen season 3 is about the Culling Game Arc and will introduce a lot of awesome characters. In the manga, it spans from chapter 143 to 271. From deadly fighters to total wild cards, Jujutsu Kaisen season 3 is about to shake things up in a big way. Let’s take a look at seven characters who could easily become the next fan favorites.


List of the Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 characters

1. Kashimo Hajime

Debut: Chapter 158

Kashimo Hajime is one of the most hyped additions to Jujutsu Kaisen season 3. He’s a sorcerer pulled from the past into the present during the Culling Game. Like a lot of beloved characters from other anime, his cursed energy is all about lightning. His whole fighting style feels like a storm ready to strike. It is fast, sharp, and destructive. With his deadly aura and strong love for fighting, Kashimo is hard to ignore.

One of his biggest highlights in Jujutsu Kaisen season 3 is his insane fight with Kinji Hakari. Right after taking Panda down, Hakari spawns in form behind, and they square up. Even though Hakari basically can’t stay dead, Kashimo keeps hammering away, showing off how relentless he is. Even without pulling out any cursed technique, Kashimo pushed Hakari to the edge. This fight is sure to be a highlight in the new season.


2. Hakari Kinji

Debut: Chapter 153

Hakari Kinji brings pure swagger into Jujutsu Kaisen season 3. A suspended third-year from Jujutsu High, Hakari’s cursed technique works like a pachinko machine. When he hits a jackpot, he becomes invincible and cannot be killed. His body will automatically perform the Reverse Cursed Technique to heal him, and he can simply return again and again. His attitude and fighting style make him a character you can’t ignore.

His battle with Kashimo during Jujutsu Kaisen season 3 is where he truly stands out. Watching Hakari walk into deadly hits only to revive again and again is both wild and hilarious. Making gambles with his abilities and Domain Expansion really showed a different way to use cursed energy to fight. And while he might seem like a bad guy, standing up for Panda gives him a more human side.


3. Ryu Ishigori

Debut: Chapter 173

Just like some others on this list, Ishigori Ryu was a jujutsu sorcerer from the past. He was incarnated by Kenjaku to be a player in the Culling Game. If Jujutsu Kaisen season 3 had a character who lives for the thrill of battle, it’s Ryu. He’s a powerhouse cursed user with so much cursed energy that he can fire massive blasts from his pompadour like it’s nothing. Ryu is all about chasing that “full stomach” feeling in a fight, and his cocky attitude makes him stand out.

His clash with Yuta Okkotsu in Jujutsu Kaisen season 3 is a highlight worth remembering. Ryu blasts away like a cannon, interrupting Yuta’s fight with Takako Uro. He felt intrigued by Yuta and was hoping to fill his stomach with him. And Yuta delivered. His 400-year-long desire for a challenge to test his limits was fulfilled. Even though he lost, his personality and strength made the fight one to remember. He's someone you definitely won't forget.


4. Takako Uro

Debut: Chapter 173

Uro Takako is one of the most mysterious new faces in Jujutsu Kaisen season 3. She was the former captain of the Sun, Moon, and Stars Squad, an assassin squad. Her cursed technique lets her bend space itself, most notably, the sky. She can twist reality in terrifying ways, making her unpredictable. Uro is usually calm and calculating, but she can get angry without warning. She has no problem with violence and has no problem with murder.

In Jujutsu Kaisen season 3, Uro’s fight with Yuta and Ryu shows just how creative and deadly her abilities can be. As an assassin, she is a great fighter. Add that to her bizarre, cursed technique, and she is a powerful warrior. She turns the battlefield into a nightmare with warped attacks that no one sees coming. It was very confusing for Yuta to keep up with the waves of blows she was throwing at him. Ultimately, it was Ryu’s Granite Blast that put her out of the fight.


5. Higuruma Hiromi

Debut: Chapter 158

Higuruma Hiromi might just be the most fascinating character in Jujutsu Kaisen season 3. On the surface, he looks calm and a little apathetic, but that’s not the whole story. Hiromi is an excellent lawyer who works only for the truth. He is governed by the principle of keeping his eyes open, of not going blind to injustice, however ugly that injustice may be. His conviction and his Judgeman technique make him one of the most interesting new characters this season.

In Jujutsu Kaisen season 3, he fights Yuji Itadori. Hiromi puts Yuji on trial, stripping away his cursed energy and nearly finishing him with his gavel. But when Yuji confesses to something he didn’t do, Hiromi remembers why he became a lawyer in the first place. Instead of ignoring his instincts, he chooses to help Yuji and even gives him his points. It’s a turning point that shows Hiromi in a new light.


6. Takaba Fumihiko

Debut: Chapter 146

Jujutsu Kaisen season 3 brings in Takaba Fumihiko, and he’s unlike anyone else in the series. He’s a failed comedian whose jokes land with zero laughs, yet he never stops cracking them. His cursed technique, Comedian, is as ridiculous as it sounds. It makes anything he thinks is funny come true. The catch? He has to really believe it’s funny. It may sound silly, but it’s terrifying once you see how limitless it is.

One of his best moments in Jujutsu Kaisen season 3 is his fight with Hazenoki. Instead of treating it seriously, he spends the entire battle throwing out bad jokes like the wi-fi joke. Somehow, that nonsense throws his opponent off and gives him the upper hand. Takaba proves that being underestimated is his biggest weapon. And in every fight that he took part in, that, plus his “funny” jokes, made every fight memorable.


7. Hana Kurusu

Debut: Chapter 145

Jujutsu Kaisen season 3 introduces Hana Kurusu, a kind but determined sorcerer who shares her body with Angel. She is gentle yet also brave and loyal. Her cursed technique comes from the angel that dwells within her. It gives her the ability to eliminate any cursed technique, no matter how powerful. With her glowing wings and her ability, Jacob’s Ladder, she can even break through barriers that trap others.

One of Hana’s best moments in Jujutsu Kaisen season 3 is when she almost defeated Sukuna with Jacob’s Ladder. For a moment, it looked like she might kill the King of Curses, but her feelings toward Megumi betrayed her. And Sukuna exploited that. Despite being badly injured, he still helped save Gojo from the Prison Domain. Hana’s warmth makes her the kind of girl one does not forget. Plus, in a world of curses, who can forget a literal angel?


Conclusion

Each character on this list has a moment to shine, whether through power, technique, or personality. Nanami will always be a legend, but these seven might just carve out their own spot in fans’ hearts. Jujutsu Kaisen season 3 is shaping up to be unforgettable. The trailer for the new season has been released, and now, we wait for the series to reach our screens.
