A trailer for the upcoming Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3: The Culling Game Part 1 has been released. The nearly two-minute-long preview shows off more of Yuji, Choso, and Maki’s respective battles against Yuta, Naoya, and the Zenin Clan, while also teasing characters like Kinji Hakari, comedian Fumihiko Takaba, and lawyer Hiromi Higuruma.
There’s also an updated teaser visual and multiple cast announcements:
• Kazuya Nakai as Kinji Hakari
• Yuki Sakakihara as Kirara Hoshi
• Yutaka Aoyama as Reggie Star
• Neeko as Kogane
• Tomokazu Sugita as Hiromi Higurama
• Satoshi Tsuruoka as Fumihiko Takaba
Additionally, it was announced that the first two episodes will drop on the same day, resulting in a one-hour premiere.
Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3: The Culling Game Part 1 will begin its broadcast on January 8 (effectively January 9 at 12:26 AM JST). Crunchyroll will stream it worldwide outside of Asia. The new Jujutsu Kaisen season will see our protagonists facing a post-Shibuya Incident world and the start of the dangerous Culling Game.
Jujutsu Kaisen is based on the supernatural action manga by Gege Akutami, where Jujutsu Sorcerers battle Cursed Spirits in modern-day Japan. The manga began serialization in Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump in 2018 and ended in 2024. A sequel titled Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo started this year.
The first season of the anime ran from late 2020 to early 2021 with 24 episodes and was followed by December 2021’s Jujutsu Kaisen 0 prequel movie (based on the manga’s four-chapter predecessor). Season 2 aired from July to December 2023, with the latter “Shibuya Incident Arc” started a few weeks after the initial “Hidden Inventory Arc.
This year’s Jujutsu Kaisen: Execution compilation film included the first two episodes of Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3: The Culling Game Part 1.
