Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 Set to Cover the Culling Games Arc: What We Know So Far
Jujutsu Kaisen has captivated audiences worldwide with its stunning animation and gripping storyline. The manga, created by Gege Akutami, made its debut in Weekly Shonen Jump in 2018 and quickly became a global sensation. Its success led to the creation of an anime adaptation by studio MAPPA, which premiered in October 2020 and concluded its first season in March 2021.
Following the overwhelming success of the first season, fans eagerly awaited the announcement of a second season. However, it wasn't until 2023 that Season 2 finally premiered, consisting of 23 episodes compared to the first season's 24. Shortly after the conclusion of Season 2, TOHO Animation confirmed that Season 3 was in development, with early sketches already underway.
When Can We Expect Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3?
Given the high-quality animation that the series is known for, it's expected that the production of Season 3 will take some time. Based on the release pattern of the previous seasons, it's likely that Season 3 will follow a similar timeline. With Season 2 airing in July 2023, fans can expect Season 3 to premiere in mid to late 2025. However, official confirmation is still pending, and potential delays could occur due to MAPPA's involvement in a possible Chainsaw Man movie.
What to Look Forward to in Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3?
Season 3 of Jujutsu Kaisen will delve into the Culling Games Arc from the manga series. Following the conclusion of the Shibuya Incident Arc in Season 2, the new season will introduce viewers to new characters and even greater threats. The story will continue from where Season 2 left off, with Gojo's exile and Yuji's death sentence, and will follow Yuta as he prepares to carry out the execution.
In addition to the Culling Games Arc, Season 3 will also cover the Perfect Preparation Arc, where sorcerers gear up for the challenges ahead. The season promises to be filled with intense battles and emotional moments as the characters face their toughest challenges yet.
How Many Episodes Will Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 Have?
While the exact number of episodes for Season 3 has not been confirmed, it's likely to follow the pattern of Season 2, which had 23 episodes. The third season is expected to cover chapters 159 to 221 of the manga, similar to how Season 2 adapted the Shibuya Arc. Fans can look forward to another thrilling season packed with action, suspense, and surprises.
