Crunchyroll will stream the new season exclusively worldwide, excluding Asia, with episodes dropping weekly on the same day as their Japanese broadcast. The upcoming season, also referred to as “Jujutsu Kaisen The Culling Game,” will adapt the manga arc of the same name.


The first teaser trailer throws viewers straight into the chaos, with protagonist Yuji Itadori consumed by guilt and despair after believing he caused countless deaths during the “Shibuya Incident.” The preview teases a high-stakes clash between Yuji and Yuta Okkotsu—the central figure of the prequel film Jujutsu Kaisen 0—as well as a fiery confrontation between newcomer Naoya Zen’in and Choso. Fans also get quick glimpses of Megumi Fushiguro, Yuki Tsukumo, and Maki Zen’in. MAPPA is once again behind the animation, with Shota Goshozono directing, Hiroshi Seko handling the scripts and series composition, and Yosuke Yajima alongside Hiromi Niwa designing the characters.

The Japanese voice cast returns with Junya Enoki as Yuji Itadori, Yuma Uchida as Megumi Fushiguro, Daisuke Namikawa as Choso, and Megumi Ogata stepping in as Yuta Okkotsu.
