In addition, there is also a dramatic confrontation between the new character, Naoya Zenin, and Choso. Several fan-favorite characters, such as Megumi Fushiguro and Maki Zenin, also make brief appearances in this preview video.
Jujutsu Kaisen season 3 will premiere in January 2026. For fans who can’t wait until 2026, a special compilation film titled Jujutsu Kaisen: Execution will be released.
