With each chapter, fans are getting to know the players of the Culling Game and their background stories. "Jujutsu Kaisen" Chapter 147 is set to share more details about a player who also happens to be a standup comedian.

Twitter user Ducky shared a brief synopsis for "Jujutsu Kaisen" Chapter 147, hinting at a player who is unable to separate his feelings.

"While everyone moves to end the culling game, there's a player who can't separate his feelings," read the preview for "Jujutsu Kaisen" Chapter 147.

Toward the end of "Jujutsu Kaisen" Chapter 146, fans meet Fumihiko Takaba, a struggling standup comic who is shown performing in front of an unimpressed and dull crowd.

After the show, an executive asks him to quit as he is not funny enough to survive the Tokyo comedy scene.

Later, he meets his friend Ken who tells him there are two types of comedians that will always be in demand – comics who are funny and comics who think they are funny. Takaba remains confused about who he is as a comic, giving the reader a glimpse of his indecisiveness.

It will be interesting to see Takaba adding a bit of humor in the intense Culling Game.

In "Jujutsu Kaisen" Chapter 146, Tengen talks about another player, named the Angel, who can extinguish cursed techniques.

Tengen reveals the Angel has the ability to open the back of the Prison Realm. Megumi Fushiguro asks Tengen if he knows about her location. He brings out a map and shares that Angel is in the colony east of Tokyo.

He explains about the ten colonies around Japan and how they are connected by barriers. Maki notes Hokkaido is not included as a colony and she wonders if it is because of the Jujutsu Society's barrier.

Tengen says Hokkaido has been declared a sacred area. Later, Tengen and the others delve deeper into the rules for the Culling Game.

The first rule states that after awakening a cursed technique, the players need to declare their participation in the Culling Game within 19 days. Fushiguro says Tsumiki has ten and 15 days to announce her participation.

"Jujutsu Kaisen" Chapter 147 is releasing this Sunday. The chapter will be out on Manga Plus and Viz.
