Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 is making headlines
That being said, Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 airs in January 2026 and has been in the news for all the right reasons. The animation quality is top notch and the story is just as good if not better. The plot of the new season was particularly praised, which is not surprising since it adapts the Culling Game arc.
For the uninitiated, the Culling Game is a form of jujutsu terrorism that Kenjaku uses to forcibly evolve people. So Itadori Yuji and his friends must band together to stop the wizard. However, it won't be that easy, especially when there are several other wizards and cursed spirits involved in the Culling Game. They all have their own personal goals, so they have no reason to make things easy for Yuji.
The heroes also have to find a way to find Angel, who is a competitor because she has the power to erase any cursed technique. With his power, Yuji can free Gojo Satoru from the prison realm. In addition, they will have to find a way to save Tsukimi from a terrible fate.
