Jujutsu Kaisen season 3 keeps ramping up the tension with the Culling Game arc in full swing. Episode 4 drops soon, and fans are buzzing about what’s coming next after the intense setup in the early episodes. Here’s a breakdown of everything known so far about Jujutsu Kaisen season 3 episode 4, including the release date, time, where to watch, and some hints at the story without heavy spoilers.
Release Date and Time for Episode 4
Episode 4 of Jujutsu Kaisen season 3 airs on Thursday, January 22, 2026. The global simulcast hits Crunchyroll at 9:00 AM Pacific Time (PT), which lines up as:
- 12:00 PM Eastern Time (ET)
- 5:00 PM Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) / 10:30 PM IST (for viewers in India)
- And adjusted times for other regions accordingly.
This follows the weekly Thursday schedule that kicked off after the double-episode premiere on January 8, 2026 (with episodes 1 and 2 dropping together as a one-hour special). Episode 3 landed on January 15, so the pattern holds steady—no breaks announced yet.
Crunchyroll handles the official streaming outside Asia with subtitles, and some regions might get dubs later. Japan airs it late Thursday night (technically early Friday at around 12:26 AM JST on MBS), but the international drop stays at that 9 AM PT slot for consistency.
Episodes usually run about 23 minutes long, matching the standard format seen in the first three episodes of the season.
What to Expect in Episode 4
Titled “Perfect Preparation”, this one picks up right where the previous episode left off. The preview teases more focus on Maki heading back to confront the Zen’in clan—the family that always looked down on her. Expect some heavy family drama mixed with action, as old grudges boil over.
There’s also buzz around potential appearances or developments involving characters like Masamichi Yaga, who’s facing serious consequences from the higher-ups after everything that went down in Shibuya. The broader Culling Game rules and strategies keep unfolding, with sorcerers gearing up for brutal colony battles. Kenjaku’s long game gets more layers revealed too, tying into the chaos.
The season adapts the “Perfect Preparation” and early Culling Game arcs from the manga, building toward massive showdowns. No exact episode count for the full season has been confirmed, but it seems split into parts (this is “The Culling Game: Part 1”), likely landing around 12-13 episodes for the first cour, similar to past seasons.
