Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 Episode 10 Review: The tenth episode of Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 is here, and I liked this one as well. Let us find out how the episode really went.
Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 Episode 9 Recap
This episode features a confrontation between Yuji Itadori and Hiromi Higuruma during the Culling Game. The episode primarily unfolds inside Higuruma’s Domain Expansion, Deadly Sentencing, which transforms the battlefield into a courtroom. Instead of relying on physical combat, the domain forces Yuji to stand trial before the shikigami judge, Judgeman, who determines guilt and punishment based on evidence presented during the proceedings.
Judgeman accuses Yuji of mass murder related to the devastating events of the Shibuya Incident, when Ryomen Sukuna temporarily took control of Yuji’s body and slaughtered countless civilians. Although Yuji technically wasn’t in control at the time, the courtroom trial forces him to confront the consequences of those events. Rather than denying responsibility or attempting to shift the blame onto Sukuna, Yuji makes the decision to admit guilt. He accepts the moral burden of the killing, believing that the deaths still connect to him because Sukuna exists within his body.
Yuji’s honesty agitates Higuruma. As a former defense attorney who became disillusioned with the real-world legal system, Higuruma initially views the courtroom domain as a way to impose harsh justice. However, Yuji’s willingness to accept punishment challenges his rigidity.
Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 Episode 10 Review
This episode begins with the strange sorcerer, Reggie, telling Megumi that Kenjaku will drop a bomb once only the strongest remains alive. Here, he tries to take out Megumi, but he is quick to retaliate and is frankly too strong for everyone else. But when their conflict heats up, an explosion happens out of nowhere. Following this, Megumi sustains some grave injuries on his face, and he literally takes on all the sorcerers on his own.
Megumi becomes absolutely ruthless in this segment, and his Zenin nature truly shone here. But just when Megumi was about to face his enemies again, a strange character came in between them. This new character is Takaba, and he is an aspiring comedian who dresses comically and speaks in a manner that hardly makes sense. However, he is insanely strong and manages to overcome the very opponents against whom Megumi struggles at first.
Mid-fight, Megumi gets the prompt that Yuji has managed to achieve what he wanted, and decides he can happily fight however he wants. He even lets his enemy know about it. And things truly get serious. Here, we get to understand Reggie’s powers, which are honestly very creative. However, he also does not have a very powerful finishing move, just like Megumi, who admits to being weaker than Reggie.
The way Megumi decides to fight him was pretty interesting. The end definitely became better thanks to Megumi’s quick wit. But we could not really see his finishing move as the episode ended before that.
Verdict
I like today’s episode as it focused more on Megumi, who usually gets sidelined thanks to other important characters. He has also gathered a possible ally who will most likely be of great help later.
This episode was once again gorgeous and very cinematic in its animation. All the different techniques and camera angles really do make this season more special.
