Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 195 was simultaneously chaotic and intense, with mangaka Gege Akutami introducing two new Culling Game players. Both characters have proven to be extremely eccentric until now, with some of their actions appearing downright hilarious. But they are far from simple comic characters, with the katana-enthusiast Daidou Hagane already proving himself to be a terrifying opponent in battle.

A brief summary of Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 195
Chapter 195 opened with an introduction to the two new Culling Game players, Daidou Hagane and Miyo Rokujushi. After the initial moments of comic relief, the chapter quickly became a zone of fierce battle, with Maki returning to the brawl within three minutes instead of the original five.
She was shocked by Daidou’s incredible skills and his ability to cut down Naoya based on instinct alone, despite being unable to see him. The chapter ended with Miyo casting a simple domain and presumably beginning the next fight.
What to expect in chapter 196?
Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 196 will likely focus on the fight between Maki, Daidou, and Miyo since Noritoshi had already reached his limit in chapter 194. Whether the fight will consist of actual wrestling or will involve Miyo’s cursed technique, which incorporates the techniques and rules of sumo, remains to be seen.
But the latest chapter has already made Maki realize that she needs to become as strong as Toji, so she has to push beyond her current limits in her fight against Daidou and Miyo and become a true “monster,” as Momo Nishimiya described her at the end of the Sendai Colony arc of the manga.
Neither Daidou nor Miyo seem particularly hostile. Instead, they are excessively passionate about sword fighting and wrestling and seem to appreciate their opponent’s skill. If Maki undergoes a drastic power-up and manages to impress any or both of them, Noritoshi and she might gain two new allies.
