5 Insane Twists from Jujutsu Kaisen’s Latest Episode That Change Everything

The world of Jujutsu Kaisen hasn’t caught its breath since Shibuya—and now it has been flipped upside down again.

As Yuji Itadori and his allies finally meet Master Tengen, the truth behind the Culling Game, Kenjaku’s endgame, and even Gojo‘s sealing comes crashing down at once. Here are five jaw-dropping twists that completely redefine what comes next.

Master Tengen Is Breaking Down—And That Changes Everything

The first shock hits immediately: Master Tengen isn’t ageless, only immortal. Missing a merger with a Star Plasma Vessel years ago caused Tengen’s evolution to spiral. Their mind is slowly fading, and their body is becoming more curse than human.

That evolution turns Tengen into a terrifying liability. Because of it, Kenjaku can now potentially absorb Tengen using Cursed Spirit Manipulation. If that happens, the barrier system protecting Japan collapses. This is why Tengen insists on having Yuki Tsukumo and Choso stay behind as guards—the fate of the entire jujutsu world depends on it.

Kenjaku’s Goal Is a Nationwide Forced Evolution

Kenjaku‘s true plan is finally revealed—and it’s horrifying. He wants to merge Tengen with every human in Japan. This isn’t about creating sorcerers. It’s about forcing humanity into a single, unstable evolved existence.

After centuries of failure against Six Eyes users, Kenjaku shifted strategies—from killing to sealing—leading to the Prison Realm. The end result? A world flooded with cursed energy and stripped of individuality. Even Tengen admits something chilling: they don’t understand Kenjaku’s true motivation. That unknown makes him less of a villain and more of a walking apocalypse.

The Culling Game Is a Ritual, Not Just a Death Match

The Culling Game isn’t chaos for chaos’s sake. It’s a massive ritual designed to power the merger. The colonies act like batteries, storing cursed energy generated by the players’ lives—and deaths.

Worse, the game is self-sustaining. Even if Kenjaku dies, it continues. The only exits are death or cursed technique removal, which is also fatal. That puts Megumi’s sister Tsumiki on a brutal countdown. The team has just over ten days to find a loophole before she’s forced into the game.

Gojo Accidentally Ruined His Own Rescue

This twist hurts the most. Two cursed tools once existed that could neutralize the Prison Realm: the Inverted Spear of Heaven and the Black Rope. Both were destroyed by Satoru Gojo himself.

At the time, it made sense—Gojo was unstoppable. Now, that confidence has become his prison. It’s a brutal, ironic reminder that even the strongest can be undone by their own past decisions.

Hope Rests on an “Angel” and a Delinquent

With the obvious solutions gone, one last option remains: Hana Kurusu, also known as the “Angel,” a sorcerer from a thousand years ago whose technique can extinguish any cursed technique, even the Prison Realm.

To reach her, the team needs power—and that leads them to Kinji Hakari, a suspended Jujutsu High student with dangerous potential. Yuta Okkotsu’s verdict says it all: when Hakari gets serious, he might be stronger than Yuta himself. Risky? Absolutely. Necessary? Completely.

Final Thoughts: The Board Is Set

The story has shifted from survival to preventing the end of reality itself. Time is running out, Gojo is sealed by his own past, and humanity’s future hinges on finding an Angel and trusting a wildcard. Jujutsu Kaisen isn’t just raising stakes—it’s rewriting the rules.
