New Sendai Colony PV Debuts During Special "Culling Game Part 1" Pre-Finale Event
On Sunday, March 22, the Sendai Colony PV made its grand debut during a special program leading up to the climax of "Culling Game Arc – Part 1."
The PV kicks off with a heavy-hitting line from Yuta Okkotsu: "I won’t let Sensei kill his best friend a second time." From there, the trailer introduces us to a wave of formidable new faces: reincarnated sorcerers from the past like Ryu Ishigori and Takako Uro, as well as the terrifying Cockroach Cursed Spirit, Kurourushi—a creature Kenjaku released from the control of his Cursed Spirit Manipulation.
Fans are treated to a glimpse of the high-stakes brawl between Yuta and Ryu, Uro’s dizzying spatial manipulation techniques, and the breathtaking moment Yuta summons Rika back to his side with the ring. The hype for the Sendai Colony showdown in the upcoming finale is officially off the charts!

Meet the New Players: Jujutsu Kaisen Debuts Visuals and Cast for the Sendai Colony
Stepping into the brutal "Culling Game" as players locked in a four-way deadlock within the Sendai Colony, we have Hiroki Tochi as Ryu Ishigori, Nana Mizuki as Takako Uro, and Yukihiro Nozuyama as Kurourushi.
Ryu Ishigori (CV: Hiroki Tochi)
Comment from Hiroki Tochi
"I’m Hiroki Tochi, and I’ll be taking on the role of Ryu Ishigori. I’m incredibly happy to be part of a series as immensely popular as Jujutsu Kaisen. As some of you might already know from the manga, Ryu’s pompadour isn’t just your average hairstyle—it’s an extraordinary one. I hope you look forward to seeing the 'dessert' that Ryu is searching for in his life. Please enjoy the broadcast!"
Takako Uro (CV: Nana Mizuki)
Comment from Nana Mizuki
"I had the pleasure of playing Takako Uro—a character who leaves quite an impact! She’s practically wearing nothing while possessing a powerful Innate Technique that allows her to manipulate the sky and distort space at will. She carries a deep-seated hatred from a brutal past. While she is incredibly strong, she’s also a character with a wide emotional range who expresses everything directly, so I poured all my raw energy into her! There were actually some scenes where I got so fired up and my voice got so gravelly that the director had to tell me, 'Make her sound a little younger...' (laughs). I’ve let all her years of built-up emotions explode in this performance, so I truly hope everyone enjoys it!"
Kurourushi (CV: Yukihiro Nozuyama)
Comment from Yukihiro Nozuyama
"I’m Yukihiro Nozuyama, voicing Kurourushi. Surprised? Yep, that’s me! Usually, people recognize my voice right away, but this time I’m thinking—or at least hoping as I write this—that I might have actually flown under the radar. Since Kurourushi’s motif is a creature that loves the dark and hiding in the shadows, it makes sense. It’s starting to get warmer outside, so please be careful, everyone... or a swarm of Kurourushi might just show up at your house too. Please keep enjoying Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3, 'Culling Game Arc – Part 1'!"
Check Out the New Duo of Character Posters for the Sendai Colony Arc
