The Culling Game arc in Jujutsu Kaisen introduced fans to a wave of deadly new characters, all ancient sorcerers brought back to life by the villain Kenjaku. Among these dangerous players, one name stands out as a major hurdle for Megumi Fushiguro: Reggie Star. For readers following the manga or anime-only watchers curious about what happens next, understanding who Reggie is and how he fits into the story is key to appreciating one of the series’ most strategic battles.
Reggie Star serves as the main antagonist of the Tokyo No. 1 Colony segment within the Culling Game. He is an ancient jujutsu sorcerer who was incarnated into the modern era on the night of October 31, 2018, by Kenjaku to participate in the deadly tournament . Unlike some of the more chaotic fighters in the game, Reggie operates with a clear head and a long-term plan.
Reggie Star’s Role in the Culling Game
Reggie quickly established himself as a leader in the Tokyo No. 1 Colony. He formed his own group of powerful sorcerers, which included Iori Hazenoki, Chizuru Hari, and a young woman named Remi . While others were simply fighting for points, Reggie was playing chess. He personally amassed 41 points but was more focused on building a team .
Operating out of a hotel in Shinjuku, Reggie used a clever trap to find strong allies. He had Remi, an attractive girl, lure unsuspecting players back to their base. Once there, Reggie would assess them. If he found them weak, he would kill them for their points. If he saw potential, he would try to recruit them . This strategy showed that Reggie was not just a brute; he was an intelligent strategist who understood that survival in the Culling Game required more than just individual strength .
Reggie Star’s Cursed Technique: Contractual Re-Creation
What makes Reggie such a memorable opponent for Megumi is his unique and highly versatile cursed technique called Contractual Re-Creation. This ability allows Reggie to manifest into reality anything that is written on a contract or receipt . Since he lives in the modern era, he primarily uses receipts that are attached all over his body, forming a kind of paper armor .
The possibilities of this technique are nearly endless and incredibly creative. Reggie can burn a receipt with cursed energy to recreate physical objects like kitchen knives, machetes, or even massive trucks . He can also summon more complex items like drones to track an enemy or a scooter for transportation . Perhaps most impressively, the technique is not limited to objects. Reggio can burn a receipt for a service, such as a day at a five-star hot spring inn, to instantly refresh his stamina and heal his fatigue during battle .
This makes him a formidable opponent who can adapt to any situation. He can fight at range by sending flying objects, engage in close combat with summoned weapons, or outlast his enemies by recovering mid-fight. His command over the technique is so refined that he can even give the re-created items simple commands, making them act like shikigami .
The Battle Between Megumi Fushiguro and Reggie Star
The conflict begins when Megumi enters the Tokyo No. 1 Colony and meets Remi. Desperate to find the 100-point player Hiromi Higuruma, Megumi agrees to let Remi guide him in exchange for being her protector. She leads him to a hotel in Shinjuku, claiming it’s on the way, but it is actually a trap set by Reggie .
When Megumi realizes he has been tricked, he is furious. Reggie appears and immediately recognizes Megumi’s strength after seeing him summon Divine Dog: Totality. Instead of fighting to the death, Reggie tries to recruit Megumi, revealing his theory about the Culling Game. Reggie believes that Kenjaku has a hidden goal beyond merging humanity with Tengen, and that this true purpose will only be revealed when only the strongest players remain. To prepare, Reggie wants to gather powerful allies and stockpile points .
Megumi, however, refuses to join and demands that Reggie hand over his group’s 100 points. This leads to a breakdown in negotiations and an all-out battle between Megumi and Reggie’s entire group .
The fight is long and brutal. Megumi manages to kill Chizuru Hari, but is left exhausted and faces Reggie and Iori Hazenoki alone. The fight is interrupted by the eccentric Fumihiko Takaba, who takes on Hazenoki, leaving Megumi to face Reggie one-on-one .
A Battle of Wits
The duel between Megumi and Reggie is not just about power; it is a battle of deception. Reggie constantly analyzes Megumi’s Ten Shadows Technique, trying to figure out its limits. He tricks Megumi by claiming neither of them has strong offensive moves, only to immediately summon two massive trucks to crash into the gymnasium where they are fighting .
Reggie’s tactical intellect pushes Megumi to his absolute limit. He deduces that Megumi’s incomplete Domain Expansion, Chimera Shadow Garden, forces Megumi to physically bear the weight of anything stored in his shadows. Reggie exploits this by summoning cars and dropping them into the shadow, weighing Megumi down with over two tons .
Even when trapped in the domain, Reggie remains calm and uses Hollow Wicker Basket, an anti-domain technique, to protect himself from the sure-hit effect . He comes close to winning by summoning his ace card: a massive two-floor wooden house weighing at least 30 tons, intending to crush Megumi .
However, Megumi proves to be the smarter con artist. He uses the environment to his advantage, eventually dropping Reggie into a swimming pool. This is Reggie’s fatal weakness: if his receipts get wet, he cannot burn them to activate his technique . With his powers neutralized, Reggie is forced into a physical fistfight with Megumi.

In their final exchange, Reggie is convinced Megumi will summon a weaker shikigami. He fails to account for Megumi hiding the fact that Divine Dog: Totality was still combat-ready. The shikigami rushes forward and delivers a fatal blow, tearing through Reggie’s shoulder .
Reggie Star’s Death and Legacy
As he lay dying, Reggie showed a surprising level of respect for his opponent. He admitted he was ashamed to have been outsmarted by a young sorcerer of the modern age . Before taking his last breath, Reggie asked his Kogane to transfer all of his remaining points to Megumi. He believed that something more interesting would happen if Megumi had more points .
His final words were a curse, telling Megumi to let fate toy with him and die like a fool . Despite this bitter end, Reggie’s death provided Megumi with the points he needed to move forward in the Culling Game.
Reggie Star remains a fan-favorite antagonist because of his intelligence, his playful yet deadly attitude, and his unique cursed technique. He embodied Reggie’s own philosophy that sorcerers are nothing but con artists . In the end, he was simply out-conned by a better trickster.
