In the aftermath, Yuji and Megumi team up with second-year student Yuta Okkotsu and experienced sorcerer Yuki Tsukumo, with both being special grade Jujutsu Sorcerers, along with Choso and second-year student Maki Zen'in to meet with Master Tengen, an immortal, part-Curse part-human Jujutsu Sorcerer. Tengen reveals Kenjaku's plan to merge the former's consciousness with Japan's human population. The Culling Game, Kenjaku's all-out war between the sorcerers and Curse users of Japan, then begins. Maki goes to the Zen'in compound to collect Cursed Tools she needs, but is forced to kill her entire clan when they lay a trap for her. Meanwhile, Yuji, Yuta, Megumi, second-year student Panda, and third-year student Kinji Hakari, seek out a mysterious woman named "Angel" who can free Gojo from the Prison Realm, as well as also find a way to rescue Megumi's step-sister, Tsumiki, from participating in the Games.

Akutami stated that Neon Genesis Evangelion influenced the mythological aspects of the series, [8] being also influenced by horror and found footage films. [9] Akutami is particularly a fan of Yoshihiro Togashi, author of YuYu Hakusho and Hunter × Hunter, [9] [10] expressing intentions to have an art style as close as possible to his. [8] The author is also a fan of Tite Kubo, author of Bleach, and discussed in an interview with him the similarities between their works. [11] [12] Other manga artists who influenced Akutami include Masashi Kishimoto ( Naruto) and Yusuke Murata ( Eyeshield 21 and One-Punch Man illustrator). [8] The magic system of Jujutsu Kaisen is largely based on Hunter × Hunter, whose fights, in Akutami's words, "rejects emotional arguments", stating, however, that like Daisuke Ashihara [ ja], World Trigger 's author, whose magic system is also similar to Togashi's series, Akutami is trying to find and develop their own style. [9] In particular, Akutami believes the first chapter was a mix of Bleach and Naruto. Akutami regrets some elements of the first chapter, due to the short appearance of Yuji's grandfather within the story. [13] Pineda, Rafael (November 1, 2023).
