Episode 8, titled “Tokyo No. 1 Colony, Part 2,” is already being described as the best entry of Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 so far.

Instead, the barrier split them at entry, which appears to suit Kenjaku’s design for the game. Kenjaku seems to want fighters constantly pressured, without strong teams controlling events. That setup keeps both sides desperate and attacking without restraint, which matches how the Culling Game has played out so far across the colonies.
Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 Episode 8: What To Expect?
By the time Episode 8 begins, both sorcerers will be following different information about Higuruma’s location. Itadori will head toward Ikebukuro, while Megumi will move toward Shinjuku. Their separate routes make a quick reunion unlikely, which increases the danger because they cannot rely on each other if Higuruma appears suddenly.
Preview material suggests Higuruma will stand at the centre of Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 Episode 8. Until now, fans only know that Higuruma is one of two players who have already collected 100 points in the Culling Game, proving a very high combat level. The anime has yet to show Higuruma fighting, but that is expected to change soon.
Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 Episode 7 Recap
Episode 7 previously showed Itadori Yuji and Megumi Fushiguro stepping through the barrier into Tokyo Colony 1. Their initial idea was simple: stay together, find allies or information, and handle strong enemies as a team. The barrier’s rules ruined that approach immediately, sending them to separate locations inside the colony.
Megumi encountered a woman named Remi soon after arrival and defeated her without much difficulty. Instead of leaving, Megumi used the opportunity to seek information, demanding guidance to Higuruma. Remi answered that Higuruma was currently in Shinjuku, giving Megumi a clear destination but raising questions about her reliability.
Itadori’s path through Tokyo Colony 1 was far more violent. Itadori ran into two newly awakened sorcerers who, like many other participants, tried to earn points by killing opponents and later change the rules for personal benefit. They misjudged Itadori’s strength, which resulted in both being overwhelmed and beaten decisively.
After that clash, Itadori met a seemingly “friendly” guy, Amai, who recognised Itadori from their shared hometown. Seeking Higuruma, Itadori asked Amai for directions. The reply was simple and direct: “Ikebukuro.” This conflicted with Remi’s earlier claim to Megumi that Higuruma was based in Shinjuku.
Before the fights intensified, Episode 7 also paused for a strange scene involving Kenjaku and Sasaki. While escorting Sasaki out of the colony barrier, Kenjaku unexpectedly expressed gratitude. Kenjaku thanked Sasaki for being friends with Kenjaku’s son, a remark that left Sasaki puzzled in the moment.
Later, after waking and reuniting with others outside, Sasaki understood that Kenjaku had been referring to Itadori Yuji. The comment stands out because Kenjaku is portrayed as ruthless and ambitious, focused on evolving humanity through extreme measures. There was no clear reason to thank Sasaki, as Kenjaku could have simply removed Sasaki and proceeded with the next phase.
The anime has yet to examine that line further, so Kenjaku’s real feelings about Itadori remain unclear. The scene has raised discussion about whether Kenjaku may hold faint parental instincts, or whether the words were part of a wider manipulation. For now, viewers must wait for later episodes for any direct clarification.
Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 Episode 8: Higuruma’s advantage and likely confrontations
Given the conflicting directions, Itadori and Megumi will probably spend Episode 8 moving separately through different Tokyo districts. Because Higuruma is operating within the same colony, there is a strong chance that Higuruma will locate one of them before they reach any meeting point. That scenario would hand Higuruma the initiative.
If Higuruma reaches either Itadori or Megumi first, the encounter will favour Higuruma tactically. The two friends remain apart, so Higuruma will not be outnumbered and can attack with surprise. Everything points toward Higuruma finally revealing strength and cursed techniques in Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 Episode 8, which many viewers have been waiting to see.
