Talk:Culling Game Arc

One Arc
All current arc pages after the Perfect Preparation Arc (ch. 144-158) will be reorganized and merged into one Culling Game Arc page. This will include the colony mini-arc pages (ch. 159-199) and the Current Arc (ch. 199-221).

With Gojo's return in Chapter 221, everything set up during or before the Culling Game Arc has been resolved. The Culling Game Arc is made up of several different events or mini-arcs that have been misinterpreted on the wiki as independent from each other. The idea is to resolve this by combining all of them into one page. Here is some information from the story linking the different events to one another in one long arc that revolves around the Culling Game and the character's reasons for participating in it.

The meeting with Tengen and Kenjaku's first conversation with Tsukumo established the character's goals and motivations for the Culling Game. The protagonist's three main goals were to rescue Tsumiki, protect Tengen, and free Gojo. Saving Tsumiki went wrong with the Yorozu situation, which ties into the Bath mini-arc where Megumi loses his body. Kenjaku defeated Tsumuko, Choso, and Tengen during the Stars and Blood mini-arc. Freeing Gojo in chapter 221 rounds out the last major goal.

The antagonist's goals were to capture Tengen and use the Culling Game as a ritual to merge them with humanity. Using the fighting during the colony mini-arcs and his affairs during the military sections, Kenjaku advanced the Culling Game to its ladder stages and completed the preliminary stages of the ritual.

The story arc merger will take place upon the completion of the Sakurajima Colony Arc page, which is being constructed now. The release of Chapter 222 will also help confirm whether or not a new arc has started.

Volume Naming Error.
Found on this page: "Vol. 21: Sendai Colony: Great Luck". What I saw to be correct on the Volume page: "Tokyo No. 2 Colony ーGreat Luckー"

Shimetsu Kaiyu literal translation
Thought it should be added that the japanese literal translation is "Death migration (of fish)" Lightning and J-san explain it nicely here. Or perhaps something to be added as trivia? 09:04, 19 July 2023 (UTC)
