Jujutsu Kaisen’s Culling Game Shows an Intriguing Foil Between Fushiguro and Hiromi Higuruma
Hiromi Higuruma’s passionate moral high ground in Jujutsu Kaisen’s Culling Game could be illuminating Megumi Fushiguro’s downward spiral.
The Culling Game is taking a toll on its victims as the protagonists of Jujutsu Kaisen struggle for their lives in the midst of it. Megumi Fushiguro and Yuji Itadori were separated after entering Tokyo Colony 1 and were attacked right away. Both easily defeated their opponents and kept on interrogating them about where their objective was, but although Itadori was directed to Hiromi Higuruma, Fushiguro stepped right into a trap.
Fushiguro was in a head-to-head struggle with Reggie Star and his many friends as the latter fought the defence attorney to persuade him to turn over the points he had accumulated. The different approaches used by Megumi and Higuruma throughout the course of these two distinct confrontations brought to light some of young Fushiguro’s developing weaknesses.
Fushiguro and Higuruma Try to Uphold Justice in Different Ways
Higuruma and Fushiguro serve as amusing counterbalances to one another as they each work to uphold greater standards of justice in order to make Jujutsu Kaisen’s world a more equitable one. However, their approaches to weakness greatly diverge. In addition to not wanting to appear weak, Fushiguro also does so because he was trained to look down on weak people. The young sorcerer has been advised by Satoru Gojo that in order to fully control his life, he must develop to the maximum extent of his sorcery. He won’t again experience the oppressive conditions of his youth again if he takes this action.
Despite the fact that panicking is a natural and human emotion when facing death or peril, Fushiguro despises individuals like Remi who exhibit it. Instead of encouraging her to be stronger than these feelings, he views her as weak and thinks she should be punished. When someone crosses a line, Fushiguro operates like a prosecutor looking to punish them and improve the world.
Higuruma, on the other hand, bases his strategy on the law, ensuring that it is applied appropriately and representing people who have been unfairly condemned. This approach toward making the world more equitable makes sense coming from a defence lawyer, but he also incorporates this notion into his Jujutsu. Because he thinks that this is what makes humans human, Higuruma wants to witness the same frailty and ugliness that Fushiguro is so opposed to. Every character has a flaw; even the most powerful sorcerer was stuck in the Prison Realm; this is perfectly normal. Higuruma recognises it as being a part of human nature, but Fushiguro views it as an oddity to be despised.
Higuruma’s Speech Contrasts Fushiguro’s Senseless Murder
The primary difference between Higuruma and Fushiguro is how they handle murder. Higuruma lost control in court before the Culling Game and killed a judge and prosecutor who were unfairly influencing a case. Even though he believed their killings were necessary since they were breaking the law, he was still very guilty. The lawyer admitted to Itadori that he felt terrible after murdering someone.
Higuruma’s own opinions and views on what constitutes a crime had no bearing on his culpability for taking appropriate action. Even though he continues to think that murdering the judge and prosecutor was justified since they were corrupt and responsible for locking up an innocent man, he still feels awful about what he did. On the opposite side of the colony, Fushiguro was about to take a step that directly contradicted Higuruma’s laudable position while this understanding was taking place.
Iori Hazenoki and Chizuru Hari assaulted Fushiguro after Remi led him to the Reggie Stars headquarters. Up to the announcement of the regulation allowing point transfers between players, he battled the group. In response, Fushiguro singled out Chizuru, shoved him outside the structure, and then assaulted the sorcerer while flying through the air. Up until this moment, his actions had been justifiable, but when the two of them landed, Chizuru was unconscious and helpless. Fushiguro delivered an unneeded finishing blow rather than leaving to make his getaway.
The problem is not that the sorcerer committed a murder; rather, it is his reaction to the crime that causes concern. Due to the rule Itadori set, Fushiguro was no longer had to kill opponents in order to get points. As a result, he could have either threatened or ignored the wounded opponent. Instead, Fushiguro violently executed Chizuru when he was already dead, all the while explaining that he was only getting rid of roadblocks. He was literally simply murdering for the purpose of it and had no remorse. Fushiguro’s mindless murder demonstrates the detrimental effect Jujutsu Kaisen’s Culling Game has had on him, as opposed to Higuruma, who justifiedly murdered someone but is still plagued by remorse.
