Warning: Spoilers Ahead for Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3, Episode #4!
One of the most cinematic episodes in the anime, Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3, Episode 4, covered chapters #148 to #152 of the manga. While Maki's whirlwind of emotions may seem hard to top, there are some things to look forward to in Jujutsu Kaisen's next episode, as the Zenin weren't the only ones affected by the current state of Jujutsu society.
Following one of the most intense battles to date in Jujutsu Kaisen, showcasing the fall of the Zenin clan and the long-awaited awakening of Maki's Heavenly Restriction, the anime returns with Yuji and Megumi's next challenge. With eight more episodes to go, here's everything viewers need to know to watch Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3, Episode 5, as it comes out.
What to Expect in Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3, Episode 5
Although things took a dark turn in episode 4 of Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3, Maki Zenin obtained a cursed tool before participating in the Culling Game with a copy of the Split Soul Katana made by her sister Mai. Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3, Episode 5, will shift the focus to Yuji and Megumi, who will recruit suspended third-year students of Tokyo Jujutsu High.
According to Yuta Okkotsu, Hakari could be even stronger than him depending on the situation, meaning it won't be so easy for Yuji and Megumi to face him. Fans' excitement is rising as Yuji and Megumi prepare to meet one of Jujutsu Kaisen's most hyped characters.
Also, viewers should be prepared, as Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3's new episode will take a step back to cover chapter #147 of the manga, which features one of the saddest moments in the series.
