Release Date Speculation: Waiting Game Begins
The announcement of Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 came on the heels of Season 2’s Shibuya Incident arc, which aired from July 2023 to December 2023. While the first teaser offers a glimpse into the sketch work, a release window is yet to be unveiled.
Brace yourselves for a potential wait similar to the gap between the first two seasons, with 2025 being the earliest possibility. Considering MAPPA’s involvement in the Chainsaw Man movie, a more realistic estimate might even extend to 2026.
Story Unveiled: The Post-Shibuya Incident Unraveled
Season 3 will pick up from the aftermath of the Shibuya Incident, where ‘Geto’ and Mahito’s attempt to seal away Gojo faced unexpected challenges. As Shibuya is veiled in chaos, characters like Yuji and Megumi strive to turn the tide against the villains. The arc introduces new challenges, casualties, and a plan to instigate sorcerers and non-sorcerers to turn against each other.
Adaptation Journey: Manga Chapters and Story Arcs
Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 is set to adapt the Culling Games arc (chapters 159-221). Before diving into this, it will likely cover the Itadori’s Extermination arc (chapters 137-143) and the Perfect Preparation arc (chapters 144-158). The latter sets the stage for the Culling Games, a mega Jujutsu battle royale that promises intense encounters and strategic warfare.
The initial teaser, though short at 20 seconds, announces the adaptation of the Culling Games arc. Sketches of key characters, including ‘Geto’ and Yuji, tantalize fans with a glimpse into the impending chaos.
Casting Speculations: Familiar Faces and Potential Returns
While there is no official confirmation, it’s expected that main characters like Yuji (Junya Enoki), Megumi (Yuma Uchida), and Gojo (Yuichi Nakamura) will make a return. Takahiro Sakurai is likely to reprise his role as ‘Geto’/’Kenjaku’, with additional contributions from Yuta (Megumi Ogata) and Tsumiki (Saori Hayami). Nobara and Nanami may appear in flashbacks, given their fates in the Shibuya Incident.
Where to Catch the Action: Streaming Platforms
For those looking to catch up on the series, all episodes from the first two seasons of Jujutsu Kaisen are available on Crunchyroll. Dive into the world of curses, battles, and sorcery as the anticipation for Season 3 builds.
