⚔️ Shinjuku Showdown Arc: When Gojo’s Era Ends and Yuji’s Truly Begins Hey JJK readers — this is the arc where everything the story has been building toward finally collides in one place.

What starts as “let’s enter this game and bend the rules in our favor” quickly becomes “we’re running out of time while a centuries-old brain is speedrunning the end of the world.” Kenjaku’s Killing Game: How the Culling Game Actually Works The setup is brutal but simple. Kenjaku uses binding vows and Tengen’s barrier manipulation to carve J...
