The Hakari Update in Jujutsu Zero is one of the larger updates the game has received recently. Instead of introducing a single feature, it brings several new systems that affect builds, farming routes, and long-term progression.
The update introduces a new Special Grade cursed technique, a secret rarity clan, a dungeon-style game mode, a new boss, new gear sets, new materials, and multiple quality-of-life improvements. Because there are so many changes at once, knowing what to focus on first can save a lot of time.
This guide explains everything added in the update and what actually matters for progression.
New Special Grade Technique – Love Train
The biggest highlight of the update is the addition of Hakari’s cursed technique, Love Train.
In Jujutsu Zero, Special Grade techniques are usually some of the most powerful abilities available. They often change how players approach combat, farming, and overall build strength.
Love Train includes several abilities:
- Lucky Smash
- Fever Rush
- Shutter Doors
- Maximum Volume
- Idle Death Gamble
However, one important detail is that Idle Death Gamble is currently disabled temporarily, meaning the technique is not yet fully complete in the current version of the update.
Even without the final move available, Love Train is already an important addition because players will begin testing builds and comparing its performance with other techniques.
Secret Rarity Clan – Hakari
Alongside the new technique, the update also introduces the Hakari Clan.
This clan belongs to the Secret rarity tier, which means it has extremely low roll chances compared to normal clans. Because of that, it quickly becomes one of the most desirable clans in the game.
Players who enjoy rolling for rare clans will likely spend a large number of rolls trying to obtain it.
The main reason it is so valuable is potential synergy with the Love Train technique. If the two systems work well together, this combination could become one of the strongest setups in the game.
Investigation Mode (Dungeon System)
One of the most important systems introduced in this update is Investigation Mode.
This is a completely new dungeon-style gameplay mode where players progress through multiple rooms before reaching a final boss.
The structure works like this:
- Enter investigation
- Clear enemies room by room
- Continue progressing through the dungeon
- Fight the final boss at the end
This is different from the usual gameplay loop where players fight a single boss repeatedly.
Because of this system, speed, survivability, and resource management become more important during runs.
Edo Period Investigation
The first version of the new game mode is called Edo Period Investigation.
At the end of this dungeon run, players face the boss:
Awakened Kashimo
This version of Kashimo has a new boss skill set, meaning it isn’t just a reused fight from earlier parts of the game. The developers designed this encounter specifically for the new mode.
The developers also mentioned that investigations still require polishing, so the system may change or improve in future updates.
New Currency – Cursed Crystal
One of the most important additions for long-term progression is the Cursed Crystal currency.
Cursed Crystals can be obtained through:
- Investigation runs
- AFK rewards
Because it can be earned both actively and passively, this currency will likely become part of the daily progression loop.
Cursed Crystals are used in the High Tier Exchange Shop, which unlocks several useful upgrades.
High Tier Exchange Shop Rewards
The exchange shop introduces some major quality-of-life improvements.
Two of the most important unlocks are:
Clan Filter
This feature allows players to set which rarity triggers a confirmation prompt when rolling clans. It helps prevent accidentally skipping rare pulls and makes rolling more efficient.
100 Crate Open
Instead of opening crates one by one, players can now open 100 crates at once, which significantly speeds up farming sessions.
The shop also includes:
- Edo crates
- Event exchanges
- Future update items
Because of this, collecting Cursed Crystals early is highly recommended.
Edo Gear Set
The update also introduces the Edo Gear Set, which drops from Edo Investigation.
Whenever a new game mode introduces its own gear set, it usually means that mode will become an important farming route.
Even though the exact stats are still being tested by players, the structure of the update suggests that investigation runs will be necessary to obtain these items consistently.
Tier 5 Vows
Another important change is the addition of Tier 5 Vows.
Vows are already a major factor in build optimization, affecting things like:
- Damage output
- Farming efficiency
- Overall build performance
Adding higher tiers means players now have another level of progression available for optimizing their builds.
These vows can be obtained through exchanges.
Material Conversion System
One underrated but very useful change in the update is material conversion.
Players can now convert lower-tier materials into higher-tier ones.
This helps solve a common problem where players accumulate large amounts of low-level materials that become useless later in the game.
With this system, older resources remain valuable even during late-game progression.
Leaderboards
The update also introduces leaderboards.
While they may not directly affect progression, leaderboards add competitive motivation for players who want to test their builds against others.
They provide an additional goal beyond simple farming.
New Code
The update also includes a redeemable code.
Code:
Hakari
Rewards:
- 4,000 Lumens
- 50 Clan Rolls
Because the update introduces a new clan, these rolls can be extremely useful for players attempting to obtain the Hakari clan.
The Hakari Update is significant because it introduces both high-impact combat content and long-term progression systems at the same time.
The flashy additions like Love Train and the Hakari clan attract attention first, but the real progression value likely comes from the new dungeon system and the Cursed Crystal economy.
Between the new technique, the investigation dungeon, Awakened Kashimo, Edo gear sets, Tier 5 vows, and multiple quality-of-life improvements, this update adds several systems that will likely continue expanding in future patches.
