We last left the heroes of Jujutsu Kaisen in a pretty dire situation, and that was in late 2023. The moment of resolution is almost here, though…Crunchyroll announced today it will be the exclusive home of the anime’s third season, starting January 2026.
Jujutsu Kaisen is about Yuji Itadori, a high school student who excels in athletic activities and is otherwise normal….at first. But one day he finds himself catapulted into the world of the supernatural when he has to save his friend from a deadly curse. The only way to cure the boy is to eat a cursed object called “Sukuna’s Finger,” which just means that HE gets a curse instead. He’s now got a powerful spirit sharing his body, and though that means he gets to access the spirit’s powers, it also means he’s going to have to leave his place of education and instead hit the books at Tokyo Metropolitan Curse Technical School, which specializes in training folks under a situation like his.
Season 2 was the “Shibuya Incident” arc, and the incident it refers to is Sukuna taking over Yuji’s body with the intent of killing a lot of people in Shibuya. Now Yoji has been essentially framed, the elders have sentenced him to death, and they’ve ordered Yuta Okkotsu (star of the feature Jujutsu Kaisen 0) to perform the deed. Worse yet, Yoji’s mentor Gojo has been sealed away in the Prison Realm. When the series comes back, the first task will be finding a way to undo all this!
Before Season 3 begins there will be a compilation film, Jujutsu Kaisen: Execution, which will recap the Shibuya Incident arc and include the debut of the first two episodes beyond that. It will open in Japan on November 7 and on December 5 in the US. Tickets are not on sale yet but will be soon.
All current seasons of Jujutsu Kaisen, along with the movie Jujutsu Kaisen 0, are bingeable on Crunchyroll.
