The advent of Tsumiki to the Tokyo No. 1 colony, as foreshadowed in Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 211, proved to be a literal game-changer. The leaks indicate that according to Kenjaku’s plan, all of the colonies were able to achieve the cursed energy level necessary to perform the ritual prior to Tengen’s merging. Tsumiki was one of several cursed persons invited to participate in the Culling Game, and Yuji, Megumi, Yuta, Maki, and Hakari amassed enough points to ensure his survival. The sorcerers’ preparations are disrupted, and the players are set up for a far larger danger, but spoilers for chapter 211 suggest that the eldest Fushiguro brother makes a surprise move utilising the accumulated. In this post, we’ll look at every player-added rule in Jujutsu Kaisen to see how the inclusion of Tsumiki will change the dynamic of the Culling Game.
Knowledge of Jujutsu kaisen’s “Culling Game” regulations
At the outset of the Culling Game in Jujutsu Kaisen, the Kogane issued a set of nine unique regulations. Those that Kenjaku awakened at the beginning of the game were given 19 days to join a colony of their choosing, or face Cursed Technique Removal. Shoko Ieri speculated that whatever the method required would result in the death of the player, but she did not elaborate. While non-players who voluntarily enter a colony will be considered participants, civilians will be provided at least one safe escape opportunity. For foreign troops stationed in the colonies, this was the situation.
Although it is known that those without cursed methods are immune to Cursed Technique Removal, whether or whether they are also able to go freely is unclear. Players get points by murdering others, with each sorcerer or cursed spirit worth five points. Each non-life sorcerer is worth one point, and the cursed technique of any player whose points have been constant for 19 days will be eliminated. Moreover, for an additional 100 points, participants can propose a new rule, but they cannot propose a rule removal.
Players have modified the rules
Hajime Kashimo introduced the first of many new rules that were disclosed in Jujutsu Kaisen. With his initial 200 points, Kashimo created a rule that revealed player information such as name, current colony, total rules, and rules contributed by other players. A transfer of points between players was the second rule added to the Culling Game. Hiromi Higuruma did this after his confidence in mankind was restored by seeing Yuji’s sincerity and unwarranted guilt in chapter 165 of Jujutsu Kaisen. Higuruma gave Yuji one point after enforcing the new rule so that he wouldn’t have to murder anyone or else he’d be killed in 19 days if he didn’t. In addition, under the same regulation, Yuta was able to acquire all of Ishigori’s and Takako’s points in Sendai, and Reggie was able to transfer his points to Megumi in the Tokyo No. 1 colony. The latest leak for Jujutsu Kaisen reveals how Tsumiki introduces a new rule to the Culling Game by requesting that the Kogane allow players unfettered access to all of the colonies.
To what extent does Tsumiki’s new regulation endanger players?
It might be argued that Tsumiki’s choice to establish a new rule that would enable participants to exit the game freely in chapter 211 of Jujutsu Kaisen is the solution to ending the Culling Game. The regulation, however, does not ensure that they will no longer take part. If players start slaughtering non-sorcerers without discrimination because they can’t tell them apart from players, the violence might spread beyond the colonies. Since players would be free to leave colonies that have reached a standstill and migrate to other regions, the regulation would also guarantee that the culling of players continues.
Finally, the surprising move hints that the player could be Kenjaku’s co-conspirator, heightening the threat that Tsumiki is the vessel for a reborn sorcerer. If the new law were put into effect, the “Tsumiki” might freely travel between colonies, creating havoc and furthering Kenjaku’s goals.
