Jujutsu Kaisen season 3 has been officially confirmed, signalling the continuation of the narrative following the Shibuya Incident arc. The aftermath of the Shibuya Incident, characterized by the aftermath of deaths, destruction, and an intriguing cliffhanger, will find resolution in the upcoming Culling Games arc.
Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 Release Date and More
The announcement of Jujutsu Kaisen season 3 followed the conclusion of Jujutsu Kaisen season 2, which covered the Shibuya Incident arc from July 2023 to December 2023. Given the expansive nature of the upcoming story arc, viewers can anticipate a season of similar length and unfortunately, a comparable wait duration, akin to the gap observed between seasons one and two, which was around two years.
The initial teaser, featuring early sketch work, has been unveiled, though a specific release window is yet to be announced. Typically, the absence of a release window early in the teaser stage suggests a potential release in 2025 at the earliest, with the ongoing involvement of MAPPA in the Chainsaw Man movie potentially extending the timeline to 2026.
Jujutsu Kaisen season 3’s narrative will pick up from the events of the Shibuya Incident, where ‘Geto’ and Mahito aimed to seal away Gojo permanently. However, their plans did not unfold as intended, and a veil descended upon Shibuya, with characters like Yuji and Megumi contributing to a reversal against the villains. The aftermath included casualties, such as Nanami’s death at the hands of Mahito and Nobara’s serious injury, leading to her presumed demise.
The conclusion of the Shibuya Arc witnessed ‘Geto’/Kenjaku awakening non-sorcerers as part of a plan to instigate conflict between sorcerers and non-sorcerers. Gojo faced exile from Jujutsu society, and Yuji received a death sentence, with swordsman Yuta designated as his executioner.
In terms of storyline progression, Jujutsu Kaisen season 3 is set to adapt the Culling Games arc of the manga, spanning chapters 159 to 221. However, before delving into this significant arc, the narrative will likely cover briefer story arcs such as “Itadori’s Extermination” (chapters 137-143) and the “Perfect Preparation” arc (chapters 144-158). The latter will involve the preparation of sorcerers for the Culling Games, a tournament-style arc serving as a colossal Jujutsu battle royale.
With Jujutsu Kaisen season 2 covering approximately 70 chapters, season 3 aims to encompass 80 or more chapters, suggesting potential truncation for a 23 or 24-episode season. The brief first trailer, spanning only 20 seconds, announces the adaptation of the Culling Games arc and showcases key characters, including ‘Geto’ and Yuji, in sketch form.
