It was expected that Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 will release in 2025, but it seems like things are not moving forward as wished.
Reports are coming out that hints that the third season for the Culling Game arc launch might not be able in 2025, but in 2026.
Production News on Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3
MAPPA revealed Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 after the Season 2 finale, according to GamesRadar.
It will adapt the manga’s over-the-top Culling Game arc. A 20-second teaser and key visual with Yuji Itadori fell at Jump Festa 2025, but no release date was announced.
Voice actors were recorded doing lines, which indicates ongoing production, according to ScreenRant. But the busy 2025 schedule of MAPPA including – Chainsaw Man: The Movie and Dorohedoro Season 2 – has slowed the progress.
Why it Might not Release in 2025
If we look back then we can know that the time gap between Season 1 and 2 was more than two years. The Season 2 concluded in December 2023, which makes the release date of Season 3 in 2025.
IndiaTimes reported that the absence of any update from production program and Anime Expo 2025 drive expectations by 2026.
A Jujutsu Kaisen film, Hidden Inventory/Premature Death, hits Japan in May 2025, according to ONE Esports.
This probably redirects resources, further postponing the series. X fans shared this view, with most anticipating a spring 2026 release.
What to Watch for in the Culling Game Arc
The Culling Game arc comes after the Shibuya Incident. Yuji, Megumi, and friends are subjected to a merciless battle royale by Kenjaku.
New characters such as Kinji Hakari have made a debut, together with fierce battles. The arc consists of 63 chapters, which may need more than one season.
The Times of India emphasized its dark, intricate story, raising the bar for MAPPA’s adaptation.
Fan Hopes and Sentiment
Fans are disappointed but keeping their patience under control. Anime Japan 2025 provided no release update, upsetting many, according to ComicBook.com. However, the anticipation remains for the arc’s over-the-top action.
Fans can currently stream Seasons 1, 2, and Jujutsu Kaisen 0 on Crunchyroll or Netflix in the meantime.
Looking Forward
A 2025 release for Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 is not possible. MAPPA’s attention to detail and other projects indicate 2026 release. Fans wait for Aniplex Online Fest or Jump Festa 2025 for updates. The wait will be worth it for the Culling Game epic fights.
