‘Jujutsu Kaisen’ Season 3 Confirmed: The Culling Game Arc Arrives in 2026!

Fans of the dark fantasy hit Jujutsu Kaisen have a lot to look forward to, as it’s been officially
confirmed that Season 3 is well into production and will adapt the highly anticipated “Culling
Game” arc. The announcement came from the recent Anime Expo in Los Angeles, where voice

actors for the series provided exciting updates. While a concrete release date hasn’t been set,
the production team has indicated that we won’t see Season 3 in 2025. Instead, a 2026 release
is widely expected, likely in the spring or summer.

The “Culling Game” is a pivotal and brutal arc in Gege Akutami’s original manga, picking up
directly after the devastating events of the Shibuya Incident. With Gojo Satoru sealed away and
the Jujutsu world in chaos, a new, deadly battle royale orchestrated by Kenjaku begins. This
game forces Jujutsu Sorcerers into a desperate fight for survival, accumulating points by
eliminating opponents, with grave consequences for those who fail to comply with Kenjaku’s
sinister rules.

Enoki hinted at significant developments for Yuji’s character, noting that he will enter battles in
Season 3 with a clearer sense of purpose and determination, shaped by the aftermath of
Season 2. The panel even teased a specific clash that manga readers have been eagerly
awaiting: the Choso and Yuji vs. Yuta battle. The “Culling Game” arc will introduce a host of new
and powerful characters from the manga, including the highly anticipated anime debut of Kinji
Hakari. This arc is known for its high stakes, strategic alliances, betrayals, and significant
character growth.

While the wait for Season 3 continues, the confirmation of the “Culling Game” adaptation and
the promising production updates are enough to keep fans buzzing with excitement for what’s to
come.
