What to expect from Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3

Adaptation of the third season illustrates events that happen right after the Shibuya Incident and bring the story into the game of death called Culling, which is very high-stakes. The plot shows Yuji Itadori and other sorcerers who are consequently involved in a murderous war, where the victor will determine the jujustu world.

MAPPA Studio brings back the previous creative team with only a few additional changes. The season is directed by Shota Goshozono, while Hiroshi Seko handles the composition of the entire series. Yosuke Yajima and Hiromi Niwa do the character designs together with Yoshimasa Terui, who reappears as the music composer.

Count of episodes and cour structure

Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 is not only a matter of being a two-cour format but also the largest season so far, with predictions from the industry suggesting up to 24 to 26 episodes. The official confirmation of the total episode count by MAPPA remains uncertain, though.

The first few episodes are thought to portray the events of Itadori's Extermination and Perfect Preparation arcs, which will end the Culling Game saga. Moreover, Season 3 will enthrall viewers with the premiere of two episodes available to watch at once on day one.
