As of now, there is no credible confirmation or validity to the recent rumors circulating about a third season for “Jujutsu Kaisen.”
The series, created by Gege Akutami in 2018 as a shonen manga published by Shueisha, gained immense popularity upon its anime debut in 2020. It follows Yuji Itadori as he trains to combat cursed spirits and demons in the Tokyo Prefectural Jujutsu High School.
The buzz about a potential third season sparked from a tweet supposedly made by Gege Akutami, accompanied by what appeared to be a poster for season 3. However, it was soon revealed that this tweet and poster were fabricated by an impostor account on social media, mimicking Akutami’s identity. This fake account managed to attract attention by posting edits and art from the series, gathering followers who believed it to be the actual creator.
Sharp-eyed fans of “Jujutsu Kaisen” promptly debunked the hoax, clarifying the situation and highlighting that Akutami, known for their secrecy, has no public social media presence and prefers to remain anonymous.
Despite these rumors, the series’ immense popularity does make a renewal plausible. However, potential hindrances might arise from reports regarding less-than-ideal working conditions at MAPPA Studios, the production company behind “Jujutsu Kaisen.” MAPPA has faced allegations of fostering a toxic work environment and implementing a culture of crunch among its animators. Whether these allegations will impact future seasons of shows like “Jujutsu Kaisen” remains uncertain.
Currently, “Jujutsu Kaisen” is in its Shibuya Incident arc as the second season concludes. Viewers can catch the anime on streaming platforms such as Netflix, Ani-One Asia, or Crunchyroll. Despite the absence of concrete evidence regarding a third season, fans can anticipate further developments in the series based on its ongoing success and popularity.
