Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 is coming out really soon, and every fan is excited to see the next chapter of Yuji’s journey. Of course, Gojo will be dearly missed in the third season; however, most main characters will return in the new episodes. On top of that, the third season will also feature several new characters from the manga series. Here are all the new characters who will appear in JJK Season 3.
Kinji Hakari
Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 is expected to see some of the most exciting debuts, and Kinji Hakari is one of the top contenders. His arrival is crucial for the story arcs going forward. Gojo Satoru has been sealed, and the Jujutsu Kaisen anime is on the lookout for raw power, endurance, and unpredictability, and Hakari brings all these elements to the table.
Kinji Hakari is a suspended third-year student at Tokyo Jujutsu High, known for his love of gambling and physical prowess. He is one such character in Jujutsu Kaisen, whom Gojo believed had the potential to fight him. Now that the previous season left off, creating a power vacuum, let’s be prepared to see characters like Hakari step forward to lead Jujutsu Kaisen through its darkest era.
Yorozu
Yorozu is another intriguing entry in the Jujutsu Kaisen story. She is a sorceress from the Heien era who participates in the Culling Game by possessing Tsumiki Fushiguro. She is also the one to push the story into one of its emotional turns. Yorozu has been obsessed with Sukuna for a long period, and her debut in Season 3 is something that no one is ready for.
Moreover, Yorozu will transform the Culling Game into a personal thing for Megumi Fushiguro by taking his sister as a vessel. So, basically, Megumi Fushiguro’s fans should be prepared to see their beloved character confront one of the emotionally draining situations yet.
Hajime Kashimo
Hajime Kashimo is another character who adds to the power scale of Jujutsu Kaisen. He is a reincarnated sorcerer from 400 years ago, who has zero interest in alliances; all that matters to him is fighting the strongest opponent. That was indeed the sole reason for him to participate in the Culling Game. In fact, he also decided to join the heroes to fight Sukuna.
Those who have read the manga know that Kashimo’s presence in Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 will raise the stakes by giving a legendary fight that will become one of the defining moments and the most talked-about events for sure.
Naoya Zenin
In the manga, Naoya Zenin was initially killed by Maki’s mother just after the Shibuya Incident Arc. However, he returns in the form of a vengeful spirit to hunt Maki. Well, he will appear as one of the ruthless antagonists in Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3. As a human, Naoya Zenin harbored every worst trait, including arrogance and a misogynistic mindset. He believed that anyone from a powerful lineage has the right to acquire certain powers. To be precise, he was the embodiment of the corrupt old Jujutsu hierarchy.
In Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3, Naoya’s involvement is crucial for understanding what happens when a person holds pride even on his deathbed. He also contributes heavily to Maki Zenin’s arc, giving her a powerful storyline.
Fumihiko Takaba
Fumihiko Takaba is a failed comedian-turned-sorcerer who has a strange, cursed technique called Comedian. This allows him to turn anything he finds funny into reality. Unlike the other characters who believe that a battle can be won through strategic planning, Takaba stands out. He is one of those who doesn’t plan anything before jumping into the battlefield; his strength comes from randomness.
His entry in Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 is an absolute necessity, as while almost every sorcerer will showcase cruelty as their weapon in the Culling Game, Takaba will be the only one to introduce humor as the only lethal weapon he has.
Hiromi Higuruma
Hiromi Higuruma is a former defense attorney who participates in the Culling Game after completely losing faith in the justice system. He initially is seen going against the good guys, but eventually sides with them to fight Sukuna. His unique ability, called Deadly Sentencing, turns the surroundings into a courtroom where the opponents are put on trial.
Like Takaba, Higuruma also brings freshness to the brutal plot of the Culling Game arc. While the others rely heavily on physical strength and violence, Higuruma slows down the story and makes the players bear the consequences of their past actions.
Hana Kurusu
Hana Kurusu is one of the central figures in Jujutsu Kaisen’s Culling Game arc. She has an ability called Jacob’s Ladder that can eliminate any other cursed techniques. So, basically, she is someone who can be a threat to the possible threats. In the past, Megumi once saved her from a monstrous, cursed spirit, using his Divine Dog Shikigami. So, she arrives to help Megumi and his allies in the Culling Game, also with the intention to free Gojo from the Prison Realm.
Sometime prior to the Culling Game arc, an ancient sorceress named Angel takes over Hana as a vessel. However, she never suppresses Hana’s consciousness and decides to co-exist in her body. The duo wishes to end the story for the disgraced opponents, specifically Sukuna. So, Hana Kurusu/Angel will emerge as the top player of the Culling Game.
So, this is the list of JJK Season 3 characters who will make a debut in the upcoming season. Which is your favorite character from the list?
