Season 3 of Jujutsu Kaisen has officially wrapped up, leaving a powerful impression on fans with unforgettable clashes. From intense ideological struggles to bloody life-or-death battles in the Culling Game arc, this season delivered explosive action.
Let’s take a look at the top 5 standout fights that prove why this series is one of the leading Shonen titles today!
5. Naoya vs Choso
This fight erupted after the higher-ups ordered Yuji’s execution. Naoya Zenin, the arrogant member of the Zenin clan, planned to use Yuji as bait to trap Megumi. However, he didn’t expect Yuji to have a fiercely protective “older brother” in Choso.
Naoya dominated with his Projection Sorcery, moving at a terrifying 24 frames per second, leaving Choso struggling to keep up. Yet Choso’s intelligence and the unique bloodline of a Cursed Womb: Death Paint user helped close the gap.
By covering the battlefield with his blood and activating Supernova, Choso poisoned Naoya, forcing him to fall. It was a convincing but bittersweet victory, as Choso was soon defeated by Yuta due to exhaustion.
4. Maki vs Naoya
Set against the backdrop of the Zenin clan massacre, this iconic rematch showcased two extremes. Naoya relied on his coffin-speed to overwhelm, while Maki, now awakened to the full power of the Heavenly Restriction, chose an active defensive approach.
The climax came when Maki anticipated Naoya’s 24 frames per second speed and landed a crushing punch just as he charged at full speed. It was deeply satisfying to see Maki shatter the arrogance of someone who once looked down on her. Ironically, Naoya didn’t die by Maki’s hand but later met his end at the hands of his own mother.
3. Yuji vs Higuruma
This battle was unusual because it didn’t start with a punch but with the law. Higuruma activated Expansion Domain, trapping Yuji in a mock trial that stripped him of control over his cursed energy.
Yuji had to fight one-on-one against a sorcerer who could manipulate the size of his hammer at will. The tension peaked when Judgeman sentenced Yuji to death for the Shibuya massacre. Despite facing the “Death Sword,” Yuji’s sincerity and guilt moved Higuruma. Recognizing the boy’s kindness, Higuruma voluntarily withdrew his technique, accepted defeat, and helped Yuji change the rules of the Culling Game.
2. Megumi vs Reggie Star
This fight proved that in Jujutsu Kaisen, IQ matters just as much as cursed energy. Megumi faced Reggie, who possessed the annoying ability to recreate objects from receipts.
The thrilling chase moved from outdoors into an arena. Megumi was forced to activate an incomplete Expansion Domain to cope. Reggie tried to crush Megumi’s shadow with heavy objects, but both ended up falling into a pool and had to rely on physical combat. In the decisive moment, Megumi unleashed his hidden trump card, Divine Dog: Totality, to finish Reggie, earning valuable points and a final curse from his opponent.
1. Yuta vs Ishigori vs Uro
This was undoubtedly the most spectacular battle of season 3. Yuta Okkotsu single-handedly took on two masters from the past: Ishigori with his cursed energy cannon and Uro with his space manipulation abilities.
Cornered, Yuta summoned the full power of Rika using the binding ring. Fans witnessed a masterclass in sorcery copying techniques like Cursed Speech and Dhruv’s Familiar. The moment all three unleashed their Expansion Domains simultaneously shattered the space around them.
In the end, Yuta’s cleverness allowed him to use Ishigori’s own attack to defeat him, scoring a record 190 points and cementing his status as a special-grade sorcerer.
