Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 Episode 5 hits today, January 29, 2026, and things are heating up fast in the Culling Game buildup. After that brutal Zenin family fallout last time, the spotlight swings to Yuji and Megumi chasing down some serious backup. Here’s the quick rundown on catching it, plus a spoiler-light look at the vibes ahead.
Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 Episode 5 Release Time & Schedule (Episode 5 – Today!)

- Pacific Time (PT): 8:30 AM or 9:00 AM (varies by source, but it’s already passed for most)

Where to Stream Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 Episode 5
Crunchyroll is the main spot—Japanese audio + subs in a bunch of languages. Premium gets you the episode the second it drops, no waiting.
What’s Coming in Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 Episode 5
Title is “Fever” (or “Passion” / “Heat” depending who you ask—official previews lean “Fever”).
Story jumps to recruitment vibes. Yuji Itadori and Megumi Fushiguro go after Kinji Hakari, that suspended third-year beast from Tokyo Jujutsu High. Dude’s so strong even Yuta gives him props. He’s holed up running this sketchy underground fight club/gambling spot packed with cursed energy clashes and high-roller bets.
Expect:
- Sneaking into that chaotic scene
- Hakari’s debut + Hoshi Kirara showing up
- Panda getting some surprisingly heavy emotional beats
- First real taste of Hakari’s wild cursed technique style
Animation stays stupid good—fluid fights, killer cursed energy visuals. After last week’s gut punches, this feels like momentum building toward the real Culling Game madness. Alliances, bets, brutal power reveals—it’s ramping hard.
