What may we anticipate from Chapter 196?
Since Noritoshi had reached his limit in chapter 194, it is probable that the fight between Maki, Daidou, and Miyo will take centre stage in chapter 196 of Jujutsu Kaisen. It’s unclear if the match will utilise traditional wrestling or Miyo’s cursed style, which makes use of sumo’s rules and tactics. But the most recent chapter has already shown Maki that she must become as powerful as Toji; she must go beyond her existing boundaries in her struggle against Daidou and Miyo and become a genuine “monster,” as Momo Nishimiya characterised her at the end of the Sendai Colony arc of the manga. Miyo and Daidou don’t seem to have any ill will against each other. The opposite is true; they are fervent fans of sword fights and wrestling, and they respect the abilities of their opponents. Noritoshi and she may receive two new pals if Maki suffers a significant power boost and impresses any of them.
Gege Akutami, the mangaka of Jujutsu Kaisen, introduced two new participants to the Culling Game in an exciting and dramatic chapter 195. So far, both characters have shown themselves to be quite odd, to the point that some of their antics have seemed comical. But they’re hardly your typical comedic relief, especially not katana-obsessed Daidou Hagane.

Review of chapter 195 of Jujutsu Kaisen
Daidou Hagane and Miyo Rokujushi, two new contestants in the Culling Game, were introduced at the beginning of Chapter 195. Within three minutes instead of five, the chapter had returned to a zone of severe warfare after the early moments of comedic relief.
Daidou’s amazing talents and his ability to chop down Naoya on instinct alone astonished her. Miyo cast a basic domain as the chapter concluded, probably to start the next battle.
