Third season of Jujutsu Kaisen

Season of television series

The third season of the Jujutsu Kaisen anime television series is based on the manga series Jujutsu Kaisen by Gege Akutami. An animated adaptation of the manga was originally announced in the 52nd issue of Weekly Shōnen Jump, which was published in November 2019.[1]

Following the conclusion of the second season, an unspecified anime sequel covering the “Culling Game” story arc from the manga was announced.[2][3] In August 2025, it was announced that the sequel would be the series’ third season, currently titled The Culling Game: Part 1 (死滅回游 前編, Shimetsu Kaiyū: Zenpen), which premiered with a one-hour special featuring the first two episodes of the season on January 9, 2026. Shōta Goshozono returns from the previous season to direct, with Hiroshi Seko and Yoshimasa Terui [ja] respectively returning as series composition writer and music composer.[4][5][6][a]

The season is adapting the manga’s “Itadori’s Extermination”, “Perfect Preparation”, and “Culling Game” story arcs.[7][2] The plot follows the Jujutsu Sorcerers entering the Culling Game,[8][9] with the main objective of fighting off Kenjaku[10] and freeing Satoru Gojo from the Prison Realm.[11] A compilation film of Shibuya Incident, which also featured the first two episodes of The Culling Game: Part 1, premiered in Japanese theaters on November 7, 2025.[4]

The season is licensed by Crunchyroll for streaming outside of Asia.[4]

For the first part of the season’s “Culling Game” arc, the opening theme song is “Aizo”, performed by King Gnu,[6] while the ending theme song is “Yoake no Uta” (よあけのうた; lit. ‘Song of Dawn‘), performed by Jo0ji [ja].[15]
