Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 Will Kick Off A Bloody Tournament Arc

Earlier this week marked the end of a rather dismal season. It shouldn’t come as a shock to hear that another season is already being prepared, once again, under the banner of . Post the season two climax, MAPPA released a teaser hinting at a face-off between series protagonist Yuji Itadori and Yuta Okkotsu. Fans may recognize Yuta as the primary character from last year’s memorable movie, . A refresher on the former could be useful, but in essence, Yuta is a distant kin of Gojo who possesses the ability to mimic other Sorcerers' techniques, earning him a respectable status as a powerful Sorcerer. Season three will mostly be a continuum of the previous season, with Yuta—returning to Japan after an extended stay overseas—being assigned the task of eliminating Yuji after Sukuna’s rampage during the Shibuya Incident. However, it won't be long before Yuta and the rest of the survivors from the last season get embroiled in the Culling Game, a fight-to-the-death match that awards points to players for killing their opponents using jujutsu sorcery. This happens to be the series' take on a tournament arc, promising a mix of new characters each equipped with their own unique powers. The Culling Game, being the lengthiest manga to date with 63 chapters, is likely going to be the focus of season three, which is also expected to incorporate the prior arcs related to Itadori’s targeted killing and readiness for the initiation of the Culling Game. As it stands, the release window for the third season has not been disclosed. The complete first two seasons are presently available on Crunchyroll.
