The wait is finally over! After the explosive events of the Shibuya Incident Arc, the world of Jujutsu Kaisen is returning stronger, darker, and more intense than ever. The highly anticipated Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 is officially on its way, and fans are already hyped to dive into the next major chapter — The Culling Game Arc.
From its confirmed release window and new trailer to what we can expect from the storyline, here’s everything you need to know about Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3.
🗓️ Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 Release Date
The sorcerers are back in action! Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 is set to premiere in January 2026, as part of the Winter 2026 anime lineup. While the exact date hasn’t been revealed, fans can expect it to debut in early January.
Before that, there’s something special in store — a compilation film titled Jujutsu Kaisen: Execution – Shibuya Incident x The Culling Game Begins will hit Japanese theatres on December 5, 2025. This movie will recap Season 2’s finale and feature an early preview of the first two episodes of Season 3.
So, if you can’t wait for January, December might just give you an early taste of the chaos to come.
⚔️ Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 Story: What to Expect
Season 3 will continue right after the events of the Shibuya Incident, where Gojo Satoru was sealed away, leaving the Jujutsu world in turmoil. With Tokyo in ruins and curses rising in power, a new deadly event begins — The Culling Game.
This next arc will adapt Chapters 159–221 of Gege Akutami’s manga and follows Yuji Itadori, Megumi Fushiguro, and their allies as they join a large-scale death tournament created by Kenjaku (the sorcerer inside Geto’s body). Their mission? To save Megumi’s sister, Tsumiki, and survive the brutal chaos that follows.
Before diving into the Culling Game, the anime will briefly explore Itadori’s Extermination Arc and Perfect Preparation Arc, which set the stage for Yuji’s death sentence and introduce returning hero Yuta Okkotsu as his supposed executioner.
Expect emotional confrontations, shocking revelations, and jaw-dropping action scenes — Jujutsu Kaisen is about to get even wilder
