'Jujutsu Kaisen' Season 3 Episode 10 Explained: Who Is Fumihiko Takaba & How Is He Connected to 'Naruto'?

The tenth episode of the third season of Jujutsu Kaisen keeps viewers on the edge of their seats once again. While Yuji resolves an issue with lawyer Higuruma, Megumi faces off against several sorcerers alone.

Two of them are passable opponents, but Reggie Star and Iori Hazenoki are formidable. The episode's biggest surprise, however, is the appearance of a new character whose memorable image has been featured in the opening theme since the first episode.

Here's what made the episode so memorable, and here's who this eccentric sorcerer is.

Who Are Reggie Star And Iori Hazenoki & What Are Their Techniques?

Reggie Star and Iori Hazenoki have entered into a contract with Kenjaku and are participating in the Culling Game. Reggie's technique involves paper receipts.

By burning a receipt, he can summon any product or service listed on it. These include a grand piano, a pile of pillows, and the ability to instantly restore strength by burning a receipt for a week's stay at a spa.

Hazenoki, on the other hand, uses the Explosive Flesh technique in combination with the Reverse Cursed technique. He can explode parts of his body and throw them at his opponent, then, he can immediately regrow new ones.

Who Is Fumihiko Takaba & What Is His Technique?

Fumihiko Takaba is a sorcerer who calls himself a comedian. His appearance raises one question: how does that suit stay on? But behind this absurd appearance lies a dangerous technique.

Takaba's strength lies in his conviction that his jokes and antics are amusing. As long as he believes this, he can perform any move or action he desires.

In Episode 10, he uses a technique that instantly evokes nostalgia among Naruto fans. The move, called One Thousand Years of Pain, references the legendary scene in which Kakashi punishes Naruto for his pranks.

What Was 'Jujutsu Kaisen' Season 3 Episode 10 About?

The episode was action-packed: Megumi deployed all her shikigami, fought hand-to-hand, dodged fire, and even managed to lecture the careless beauty who had led her into a trap.

At one point, he gets burned on half of his face, making him look like Shoto Todoroki or Prince Zuko.

The animation is top-notch once again: scenes of glass breaking in slow motion and dodging flying trucks look stunning.

By the end of the episode, Megumi uses his Chimera Shadow Garden domain expansion against Reggie Star. The battle is in full swing, and the best is yet to come.
