KEY POINTS

  • A key player is set to play the culling game
  • Tengen needs two bodyguards to protect as the culling game begins
  • "Jujutsu Kaisen" Chapter 145 is hitting the stands this Sunday

After a one-week break, the manga returns as Yuji Itadori, Choso, Yuki Okkotsu, and Yuti finally meet Tengen. The latest leaks and spoilers for "Jujutsu Kaisen" Chapter 145 are available online, teasing the arrival of a new player who joins the deadly game in the upcoming chapter reportedly titled "The Rear Side."

Twitter user Ducky shared the detailed summary of "Jujutsu Kaisen" Chapter 145. The beginning of the chapter shows Tengen’s current form as a cursed spirit. The leak revealed his appearance is due to his inability to find a vessel after Riko Amanai’s demise. Riko was the Star Plasma Vessel for Tengen but was shot and killed.

Tengen tells Itadori and the others about how Brain could never turn everyone in Japan into a sorcerer. He reveals Brain lacked the amount of cursed energy for this to happen.

In "Jujutsu Kaisen" Chapter 145, before Tengen explains the plan, he announces he needs two bodyguards. Later, he reveals Brain plans to merge humanity with him.

Once Tengen evolves, it becomes possible for him to merge with people apart from the Star Vessel. Since Tengen’s soul exists everywhere, he is capable of merging with several people in one go. People who merge with him go beyond just being sorcerers.

However, Tengen fears if anything evil merges with him, that would be the end of the world. Itadori asks Tengen if he can refuse to merge. The latter reveals he is closer to becoming a cursed spirit making him a target to curse manipulation.

Tengen states this is the primary reason he needs bodyguards. He also notes Brain is the best barrier user after Tengen, so he will likely eventually get through his barrier.

In "Jujutsu Kaisen" Chapter 145, Tengen also informs the importance of the culling game. He points that merging with him has a low success rate and the culling game will produce people with more cursed energy who can later be used to merge with him.

Meanwhile, Choso and Yuki decide to stay with Tengen. Later, Tengen pulls out a cube from the rear of the prison realm. But they need to find a way to open it. The only method to open the cube is a technique known to a person named Kurus Hana and she is the new player in the culling game.

"Jujutsu Kaisen" Chapter 145 is releasing this Sunday. Fans can read the digital version of the chapter on Viz and Manga Plus.
