Jujutsu Kaisen season 3 reveals Kenjaku’s Evangelion-like evil plan

For a show where most of the lore gets trickled out to the viewer through offhand comments and quick explanations, Jujutsu Kaisen shifts gears in the third episode of season 3 with one long exposition dump in “About the Culling Game.” On paper, it’s kind of an awkward episode of television. Yuki, Yuji, Megumi, Maki, Yuta, and Choso arrived at Master Tengen’s shrine within the Tombs of the Star Corridor at the end of episode 2. Jujutsu Kaisen then spends this entire episode just having characters talk about Kenjaku’s evil plan and how the Culling Game fits into it — and it sounds a lot like the end of Neon Genesis Evangelion.
