The wait is finally over. Jujutsu Kaisen has officially confirmed Season 3, titled Culling Games, and fans are more excited than ever. After the huge success of Season 2, the story is moving into one of the most intense arcs of the manga. Here’s a full breakdown of what you can expect, from the release date to the special movie event.
Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 Release Date
Fans have been asking the same question: When is Season 3 coming out?
The answer is clear now. MAPPA has announced that Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 will premiere in January 2026.
This means there will be a gap of two years since Season 2 ended in 2023. While the wait feels long, the studio has made it clear that they want to focus on delivering the best possible animation and story quality, just like they did with the Shibuya Arc.
Season 3 will dive straight into the Culling Games arc, where the stakes are higher than ever. This time, the spotlight will be on Yuta Okkotsu and his shocking mission: to kill Yuji Itadori. Fans are already buzzing with theories about what this means for Yuji, Gojo, and the future of the sorcerers.
Theatrical Movie Release
Jujutsu Kaisen is not just returning to TV screens it’s also hitting theaters. The makers have announced a worldwide theatrical release on November 7, 2025.
But here’s the twist: the movie will not cover the entire third season. Instead, it will be a re-edited version of the Shibuya Arc from Season 2, followed by the first two episodes of Season 3 as a special preview.
This approach has become popular in anime. Shows like Demon Slayer have done the same, giving fans a cinematic experience before a new season begins.
What to Expect in the Culling Games Arc
The Culling Games arc is one of the most thrilling parts of the Jujutsu Kaisen manga. Expect brutal battles, shocking twists, and high-stakes survival. Characters like Yuta, Yuji, and Megumi will face their toughest challenges yet. And, of course, all eyes are on whether Satoru Gojo will finally escape the Prison Realm.
The storyline will test friendships, rivalries, and the very limits of cursed energy. If the anime stays faithful to the manga, fans are in for an emotional rollercoaster filled with action and drama.
