Jujutsu Kaisen, Chapter 153

Chapter 153 Summary (Jujutsu Kaisen)

In Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 153, the focus stays on the briefing with Master Tengen as the rules of the Culling Game are laid out in detail. The game is built on barrier colonies across Japan, each acting as a separate battlefield where players must earn points by eliminating others.

Kenjaku designed the system so that both jujutsu sorcerers and newly awakened players are forced into participation. Non-sorcerers with potential have been turned into players through cursed energy activation, while existing sorcerers are pulled in through binding conditions tied to the barriers.

The group, including Yuji Itadori and Megumi Fushiguro, learns that players can add rules by spending points. This becomes important, as it gives them a way to change the system from inside.

Tengen also explains the connection between the game and his own existence. As a key barrier user, his evolution is tied to Kenjaku’s plan, making him central to what comes next.

The chapter feels more like a setup, but every detail adds pressure, making it clear that once the game begins, there will be no safe way out.
