Less than a month before its premiere, Jujutsu Kaisen<\/a> season 3 has finally released a new trailer. The new trailer gives fans the best look at season 3 to date, and when combined with the early preview attached to the season 2 compilation film, it\u2019s already poised to be the best season of the anime, by far.<\/p>\n

The new trailer for Jujutsu Kaisen season 3 was everything a fan could hope for, and that, of course, includes the extensive look at the major players in part 1. Some are old faces for the anime, and others are new additions showing up for the first time, but regardless, every major character for part 1 is worth breaking down.<\/p>\n

13) Yuji Itadori<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Yuji Itadori is, of course, the main character of Jujutsu Kaisen. At the end of season 2, Yuji was traumatized by Sukuna killing hundreds of people and Mahito killing Nanami and\u2014seemingly\u2014Nobara, and with him also failing to save Gojo, Yuji ends season 2 as a broken shell of himself.<\/p>\n

In Jujutsu Kaisen season 3<\/a>, Yuji is far from over everything that happened in Shibuya, and if anything, he only falls deeper into a new, destructive ideology he developed to cope with everything. Nevertheless, Yuji puts his issues aside to help dismantle the Culling Games and put an end to Kenjaku\u2019s plot, no matter the cost to himself.<\/p>\n

12) Megumi Fushiguro<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Megumi Fushiguro is the deuteragonist of Jujutsu Kaisen\u2019s story. In season 2, Megumi was left unaccounted for after the battle between Sukuna and Mahoraga, but promotional material for season 3 makes it clear that Megumi escaped the Shibuya Incident relatively unscathed.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, with the advent of the Culling Games, Megumi\u2019s sister, who was turned into a sorcerer by Kenjaku\u2019s Idle Transfiguration, now has to either compete or die, so Megumi needs to get Yuji and others to help him free his sister from the Culling Games while also uncovering Kenjaku\u2019s plot and whatever Sukuna has planned for him, personally.<\/p>\n

11) Yuta Okkotsu<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Yuta Okkotsu is the protagonist of Jujutsu Kaisen\u2019s prequel, Jujutsu Kaisen 0. While absent for a large portion of the story, Yuta formally joins the story in season 3 when he\u2019s tasked with killing Yuji, a mission he\u2019s more than happy to fulfill after Sukuna crippled Inumaki.<\/p>\n

That, however, was nothing more than a lie; Yuta pretended to be Yuji\u2019s enemy to get him off of Jujutsu society\u2019s radar, and after that, he joined Yuji and Megumi\u2019s team to help dismantle the Culling Games and defeat Kenjaku, the latter being Yuta\u2019s main goal so Gojo won\u2019t have to kill Geto again.<\/p>\n

10) Maki Zenin<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Maki Zenin is one of Yuji\u2019s upperclassmen and a major character in the series. Maki was one of the sorcerers assigned to the Shibuya operation, and after a tough battle with Dagon, which she only escaped thanks to a reanimated Toji Fushiguro, Maki was seemingly burned alive by Jogo.<\/p>\n

Fortunately, Maki survived Jogo\u2019s assault, albeit not without heavy burn scars, and she\u2019s now part of Yuji\u2019s team to dismantle the Culling Games. To that end, Maki\u2019s plan is to gather cursed tools for everyone to fight with, and doing so puts her in direct conflict with her hated family of the Zenin clan.<\/p>\n

9) Choso<\/p>\n

\"Choso<\/p>\n

Choso is a Cursed Womb: Death Painting, a special being that exists as a hybrid of a human and a cursed spirit. While Choso was once on Kenjaku\u2019s side, after realizing that Yuji was his brother, Choso became Yuji\u2019s ally to fulfill his duty as an elder brother, although Yuji doesn\u2019t fully understand what he\u2019s talking about.<\/p>\n

Choso stuck by Yuji following the Shibuya Incident, and he\u2019s even there for Yuji\u2019s big fight with Naoya and Yuta at the beginning of season 3. Choso won\u2019t do much else in part 1 after that, but anyone who\u2019s read the manga will know that he\u2019s still set to be a major player in season 3\u2019s story as a whole.<\/p>\n

8) Tengen<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Tengen is the nigh-immortal sorcerer who maintains the barrier controlling Japan\u2019s cursed energy. Tengen was first mentioned in season 2\u2019s Hidden Inventory arc, and season 3 sees her finally make her proper appearance as an ally to Yuji and his friends.<\/p>\n

Tengen doesn\u2019t know everything about Kenjaku\u2019s plans for the Culling Games, but she does know that a major part of his plan is to use Cursed Spirit Manipulation to take control of Tengen, who\u2019s more like a curse than a human, to gain control of Tengen\u2019s power, and preventing that becomes a major priority for the heroes.<\/p>\n

7) Kinji Hakari<\/p>\n

\"Jujutsu<\/p>\n

Kinji Hakari is a former student of Jujutsu High; in season 1, Hakari was mentioned as not being allowed on campus due to causing trouble, and he, along with Yuji and Yuta, was one of the students Gojo believed had the most potential of the new generation of sorcerers.<\/p>\n

In season 3, Yuji and Megumi go searching for Hakari to boost their forces in the Culling Games, and while it proves to be a far more complicated ordeal than either of them was expecting, Hakari ultimately joins the group and easily becomes one of their strongest allies.<\/p>\n

6) Hana Kurusu<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Hana Kurusu is initially believed to be an incarnated sorcerer, a sorcerer from ancient times Kenjaku helped possess someone to compete in the Culling Games. As it turns out, though, Hana and Angel, the sorcerer possessing her, have a friendly relationship that\u2019s allowed Hana to maintain her free will, making it a more positive take on Yuji and Sukuna\u2019s dynamic.<\/p>\n

Hana, through Angel\u2019s cursed technique, can negate any other cursed technique, so Yuji and Megumi try to get her to free Gojo from the Prison Realm in the absence of other options. Hana is another character who won\u2019t do much until part 2, but her presence will be an undeniable focal point of part 1\u2019s story.<\/p>\n

5) Hiromi Higuruma<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Hiromi Higuruma is another person forcibly turned into a sorcerer by Kenjaku. Higuruma was a defense attorney tired of how rigged the Japanese legal system was, and after awakening to his powers, he joined the Culling Games by killing two of his associates he couldn\u2019t stand.<\/p>\n

Higuruma is one of Yuji\u2019s first opponents in the Culling Games, but they quickly bury the hatchet, and Higuruma ultimately becomes an ally to Yuji in a similar vein to Nanami. Higuruma is even noted to be a prodigy akin to Gojo, so his presence is nothing but a plus for Yuji and his friends.<\/p>\n

4) Fumihiko Takaba<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Fumihiko Takaba was also turned into a sorcerer by Kenjaku\u2019s Idle Transfiguration. Takaba is a failing comedian who spontaneously joined the Culling Games after awakening to his powers, and despite no one knowing what to make of him, he ends up becoming another new ally to Yuji and his friends.<\/p>\n

Despite his goofy character, Takaba is an incredibly powerful sorcerer who can make anything happen as long as he thinks it\u2019s funny, with even Gojo susceptible to his power. Takaba probably won\u2019t get to do much in season 3, but he\u2019s a character everyone should keep a close eye on.<\/p>\n

3) Reggie Star<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Reggie Star is an incarnated sorcerer who appears early on in the Culling Games arc<\/a>. As implied by his name, Reggie\u2019s cursed technique can materialize anything written on a receipt, even if it\u2019s something abstract, like the relaxing effect of a day at the spa.<\/p>\n

While Reggie doesn\u2019t do that much, not only does he give Megumi his final big fight in the story, but he\u2019s the one to make Megumi realize that the Culling Game was just the first step to Kenjaku\u2019s master plan, even if Reggie himself didn\u2019t know all the details, so his importance to the narrative cannot be denied.<\/p>\n

2) Naoya Zenin<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Naoya Zenin<\/a> is Maki\u2019s older cousin from the Zenin clan. Among the people who bullied and abused Maki, Naoya was the worst for not only being physically abusive, but also for being a raging sexist who never hides his disdain for women, and he\u2019s even heavily implied to have sexually assaulted Maki\u2019s sister, Mai, at one point.<\/p>\n

Naoya is first introduced trying to kill Megumi to gain control of the Zenin clan, and when Maki goes to confront the Zenin clan, Naoya becomes the biggest target of her rage. It\u2019s through fighting Naoya that Maki\u2019s character arc comes together, and hopefully, it will be even better to watch it play out in animation.<\/p>\n

1) Kenjaku<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Kenjaku is the main antagonist of Jujutsu Kaisen. After releasing countless curses into Tokyo, Kenjaku sent all of Japan into a state of chaos, all of which was a precursor to the next stage of his mysterious plan: the Culling Games.<\/p>\n

By initiating the Culling Games, Kenjaku wants to raise the collective cursed energy of Japan while also working to steal Tengen\u2019s powers for himself. The true depth of Kenjaku\u2019s plans won\u2019t be revealed until after Jujutsu Kaisen season 3, part 1, but when they come out, it will become all too clear just how diabolical a villain he truly is.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Less than a month before its premiere, Jujutsu Kaisen season 3 has finally released a new trailer.
