Plot Recap: The Culling Game Starts Rolling Up Its Sleeves
Episode 7 is a plunge into the thick of the Culling Game for our heroes. And after weeks of buildup, Yuji Itadori and Megumi Fushiguro enter Tokyo No. 1 Colony, a battlefield where cursed energy, survival instinct and the unknown all hold sway.
The story kicks off with a creepy save-and-exit move: Kenjaku mysteriously guides Yuji’s former classmate out of the barrier before shit really hits the fan. This bizarre moment feels unreal for viewers, but there’s a sense of deeper layers to Kenjaku’s intentions just under the surface.
Then after getting themselves THROUGH the colony gates, Yuji and Megumi find treacherous players, broken alliances and deadly misinformation. The standout in this episode is the way that uncertainty becomes a weapon —that not even your allies may be trustworthy.
Visuals & Direction: MAPPA
Doing good work Again, I’d like to remind everyone that the first (and second) episode evolved to a lot of confused and angry people who ended up eating their words at some point when the team handled it well.
One aspect fans couldn’t stop raving about was the animation quality. MAPPA’s direction mixes dramatic tension with blazing imagery, from sweeping city backdrops to storied facial angles and detail.
Many of these sequences — such as Yuji racing over rooftops or the drawn-out looks as the barrier approaches — demonstrate how mood can be communicated by visuals nearly as much as by dialogue. Subtle camera angles and moody lighting elevate the stakes without requiring constant combat.
Characters: Tension, Humor and Emotional Beats
Though it’s heavier on action than set-up, this episode still has its share of character moments:
Yuji & Megumi have continued to maintain a healthy chemistry as they argue, plan and face danger together.
Hakari Kinji brings the much-needed comic relief, proving why JJK manages to maintain a tonal balance of horror with humor.
New and returning players in the Culling Game add a blend of humor, threat and unpredictability.
A common theme? Trust is in short supply beyond the barrier, and anything one does can spell doom or alliance.
Fan Reactions & Ratings
Here are reactions to Episode 7, most of them mixed and strongly held:
🔥 Tokyo No. 1 Colony, Part 1 is for a bunch of people still one of the most intriguing titles yet because it’s so successful at that tension vs chunklet comic relief thing.
🤔 Some say it was too early for this kind of climax, and that not enough has changed in terms of the series’s big mysteries. They point out that compared with other top battles from past seasons the pace felt slower, and insist that suspense outweighed payoff.
Crucially review scores regularly fall in the positive range, as reviewers appreciate the set up, whilst accepting its more gateway fare than climatic encounter.
What This Means for Season 3
Episode 7 is not only about entertainment — it establishes significant plot points in the Culling Game, and introduces battles, characters and high-stakes confrontations to come. Given a potential hiatus immediately after this episode, fans are eager to see what happens next.
