After season 2 ended, it was announced that Jujutsu Kaisen would have a season 3 in production, adapting the Culling Game plot from the manga. It has been a great year for Jujutsu Kaisen and is poised for future success.
The year 2023 was the first year that Jujutsu Kaisen season 2 managed to surpass the first season thanks to its excellent direction and story. With exciting developments in the manga, this year has been the biggest yet for Jujutsu Kaisen. Although information about the production of season 3 is still limited, there is still a lot we can discuss from the previous two seasons.
Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 Latest News
After season 2 ended, a short trailer for Jujutsu Kaisen season 3 was released, announcing the development of the series. While the trailer doesn’t show many details, only giving a basic overview of the plot of the Culling Game with some animated manga images, it is expected that there will be more complete trailers as production progresses.
Jujutsu Kaisen season 3 has officially gotten the green light after season 2 ended. This season will adapt the Culling Game from the manga. At the moment, information is limited, but more details will emerge as the release date approaches.
As fans eagerly await the MAPPA adaptation of the Culling Game arc, the franchise announced that it plans to make the wait a little easier by launching a new Jujutsu Kaisen movie.
A re-edited compilation of the Hidden Inventory arc will be released in theaters around 2025. Fans can enjoy young Gojo and Geto fighting Toji on the big screen with other fans. There are no further details yet, but expect this release to be similar to Demon Slayer in that it will include new content.
Jujutsu Kaisen season 3 will be produced by Studio MAPPA, despite the controversy in season 2. However, due to staff changes between seasons 1 and 2, it is uncertain whether Shota Goshozono, Sayaka Koiso, and Yoshimasa Terui will return to direct, design characters, and compose in season 3.
When will Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 be released?
As of now, there is no firm release date for the 3rd season of Jujutsu Kaisen, which has been almost half a year since the 2nd season ended. Studio MAPPA is busy working on several projects, including Lazarus, the original anime series Zenshu, the second season of Hell’s Paradise, and the remake of Ranma 1/2. This is a huge workload for any studio.
The Jujutsu Kaisen (JJK) anime production team is busy working on several movies, including an adaptation of the Reze storyline from Chainsaw Man and the Jujutsu Kaisen Hidden Inventory movie releasing in 2025. Although the Hidden Inventory movie is a re-edit of a season two episode, these projects will likely come before the third season of JJK. So, fans need not expect the third season to be coming soon.
Jujutsu Kaisen season 3 is expected to premiere between mid-to-late 2025, taking into account the two-year gap between seasons 1 and 2. While it’s quite a long time, especially since the manga ends in September 2024, hopefully the quality of season 3 is worth the time fans have to wait.
Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 Story Details
Jujutsu Kaisen season 3 will adapt the plot of the Culling Game from the manga. After the Shibuya Incident, Kenjaku, the wizard who stole Geto’s body, triggers a deadly battle across Japan to raise cursed energy. This plot introduces new characters and interesting story developments, and viewers will definitely enjoy seeing it in animation.
The Culling Game plot in Jujutsu Kaisen is likely to be a season 3 adaptation with reference to the previous pattern, where the first two seasons adapted around eight to nine manga volumes.
With season 2 ending at volume #16, it can be expected that season 3 will reach volume #25 and feature the return of Satoru Gojo. Additionally, the season 3 finale is expected to be an exciting cliffhanger to get viewers excited for the fourth season.
