⚔️ JUJUTSU KAISEN · CHAPTER 148
The Culling Game begins — rules, alliances, and the cost of survival.
📖 Synopsis — The Game Board is Set
Chapter 148 throws us into the terrifying opening of Kenjaku's Culling Game. After the Shibuya Incident, the ancient sorcerer enacts his grand plan: a deadly battle royale across Japan. Players are forced into colonies, each with unique rules and a point system.
We follow Yuji Itadori, Megumi Fushiguro, and newly awakened Angel as they attempt to navigate the chaos. The chapter focuses on establishing the game’s terrifying mechanics and the moral dilemmas of killing other players.
No major battles explode here — instead, Gege Akutami builds dread through exposition and tense character interactions. The calm before the storm is razor-sharp.
🧩 Key Events & Turning Points
- Kenjaku's broadcast — The rules of the Culling Game are announced worldwide. Players must collect 100 points to “add a new rule” or leave their colony.
- Yuji & Megumi reunite with Angel (the mysterious figure from the tomb). Angel reveals their goal: kill Kenjaku and free Gojo Satoru.
- First colony incursion — Yuji and Megumi enter a Tokyo colony, immediately confronted by the reality of cursed users and reincarnated sorcerers.
- The "Kogane" introduction — small, bird-like creatures that act as referees. They explain the point system and allow rule modifications.
- Moral weight — Yuji hesitates to kill players, but Megumi reminds him that in the Culling Game, hesitation means death.

⚡ Thematic Analysis — Rules as Weapons
Chapter 148 is a masterclass in systemic horror. Kenjaku doesn't need to fight; he builds a cage where sorcerers devour each other. The point system transforms allies into potential enemies — trust becomes a liability.
Gege uses the Kogane to mirror real-world bureaucracy: cold, indifferent, and absolute. The “add a rule” mechanic gives players false agency, but the only way to change the game is to kill.
Yuji’s internal conflict echoes the series’ core theme: can you save people without becoming a monster? The chapter refuses easy answers.
❓ FAQ — Chapter 148
A deadly battle royale created by Kenjaku. Sorcerers are placed into colonies and must earn 100 points by killing other players. Points can be used to add new rules or exit the colony.
Angel is an ancient sorcerer reincarnated during the Culling Game. They possess a cursed technique capable of extinguishing other techniques. Angel’s main goal is to kill Kenjaku and free Gojo Satoru from the Prison Realm.
After the trauma of Shibuya (where he lost control and caused mass casualties), Yuji is terrified of becoming a killer. Megumi forces him to confront that the game leaves no room for pacifism.
A small, flying creature that acts as a game official. Kogane explain rules, track points, and allow players to propose new rules. They are neutral but unsettlingly cheerful.
No. It’s a setup chapter — world-building, rule exposition, and character positioning. The tension is psychological rather than physical.
🔮 Final Thoughts — A Blueprint for Chaos
Chapter 148 is the calm, calculated overture to the Culling Game arc. It sacrifices action for atmosphere and ideological weight. Every panel drips with impending violence.
Gege Akutami proves that the most terrifying battles aren’t always fought with fists — sometimes they’re fought against a system designed to break your soul. This chapter redefines Jujutsu Kaisen’s stakes.
