With the anticipation high for Season 3 of the much-loved anime series Jujutsu Kaisen, viewers have bested their stay thus far in waiting for more of Yuji Itadori and his friends to be thrown into deadly colonies as they navigate their way through a series of complex and potentially deadly sins orchestrated by Kenjaku, who is the head evil behind all Jujutsu. However, they can expect more brutal fights, escalating cursed techniques, shocking surprises and deeper truths to be revealed in Season 3 – Part 2, which has already begun airing on Crunchyroll and is expected to be shown until the end of March 2026. However, there are reports of possibility of being delayed during the hectic broadcast time cycle.
Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 Part 2: Release date speculation
The Culling Game arc will include two parts: Part One will consist of 12 episodes airing from January 8, 2026, to March 26/27, 2026, with an extra-long 27-minute episode as the finale of Part One; while Part Two is still unknown when it will air (most likely at least January 2027). It may be delayed, based on recent report trends & speculation. The earliest likely time to see Part Two would be Winter 2027 (January 2027) since production teams have reported several staff changes at MAPPA along with other recent updates about the future of the Culling Game arc, and no confirmation on the continuation in 2026. Further reading on this topic can be found in articles & forums dedicated to anime.
Additionally, the series is being produced by MAPPA, which has a partnership with Crunchyroll for streaming services (weekly subbed episodes released every Thursday at about 9:00 a.m. PT, with English dubbed episodes beginning late January 2026)

Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 Part 2: Plot Details
The third season is based on the Shibuya Incident, where the world of jujutsu sorcery has been turned upside down. The primary plot of the season revolves around the Culling Game (Shimetsu Kaiyū), a deadly game that has been created by the main villain, Kenjaku, that entails:
All jujutsu sorcerers and awakened participants will be forced to compete against one another within huge colonies (or barriers) that are set up throughout Japan, participating in high-risk matches to acquire points.
Jujutsu sorcerers Yuji Itadori, Megumi Fushiguro, and their fellow allies will enter the Culling Game to rescue people such as Tsumiki Fushiguro, to fend off Kenjaku’s soldiers, and to free Satoru Gojo from the Prison Realm.
Main sub-plots include “Itadori’s Extermination“, “Perfect Preparation“, and the wars within each colony (e.g., Tokyo No. 1 Colony, Sendai Colony), introducing a lot of highly intense battles, new cursed techniques, and increasingly dangerous threats to the progress of Tengen merging all human beings.
This storyline increases in scope with numerous simultaneous conflicts, many of which will feature new and powerful players, and provide substantial backstories related to curses and the evolution of sorcery.
As of March 21, 2026, Part 1 of the season is nearing its final chapter, so please pay close attention to official places (such as the official Twitter account for Jujutsu Kaisen Anime X or Crunchyroll) for any Part 2 announcements that will likely happen after Part 1 concludes.
