The acclaimed anime *Jujutsu Kaisen* is returning, with a fresh trailer hinting at the forthcoming significant arc and its release timeframe. Adapted from the well-regarded manga, *Jujutsu Kaisen* follows high schooler Yuji Itadori, who becomes the vessel for the formidable curse Ryomen Sukuna and joins a clandestine group of sorcerers determined to vanquish him. Season 3 picks up immediately after season 2, delving into the repercussions of the dramatic Shibuya Incident arc.
With season 2 wrapping up in December 2023, enthusiasts have anticipated for over three years to reunite with Yuji and his companions. The upcoming plot centers on The Culling Games, a treacherous battle royale characterized as “the most extraordinary instance of jujutsu terrorism ever committed.”
The new season is slated to premiere in January 2026, but audiences won’t have to wait that long for a sneak peek. In December, *Jujutsu Kaisen: Execution* will hit theaters, presenting a unique compilation of the Shibuya Incident arc into a single film while showcasing the first two episodes of season 3. This approach mirrors other anime compilation films, such as *Demon Slayer: To the Swordsmith Village.*
The theatrical premiere is scheduled for December 5.
