When it was released in 2020, Jujutsu Kaisen had a massive impact on the anime community. Fans were fascinated by and couldn’t get enough of Yuji Itadori and the other Jujutsu Sorcerers. Since the release of Jujutsu Kaisen season 2 in 2023, fans have just one question: is Jujutsu Kaisen season 3 on the cards? And, the answer is yes!

For the uninitiated, the popular anime‘s story revolves around Yuji Itadori, a high school student with exceptional physical abilities, who becomes involved in the supernatural world of curses. After consuming a powerful object, Yuji becomes the host of Sukuna, a legendary curse known as Ryomen Sukuna. He then joins the Tokyo Metropolitan Jujutsu Technical High School and starts training to become a jujutsu sorcerer.
Alongside his classmates and mentors, Yuji faces dangerous curses, uncovers dark secrets and fights to protect innocent lives while battling his inner struggles.
What could be the plot of ‘Jujutsu Kaisen’ season 3?
The second season of Jujutsu Kaisen focussed on Gojo, a jujutsu sorcerer with the ‘Shibuya Incident arc’. Known for his exceptional skills, intelligence and charismatic personality, he served as a mentor and teacher to Yuji Itadori and other students at Tokyo Metropolitan Jujutsu Technical High School. Gojo possesses immense power and is regarded as one of the strongest jujutsu sorcerers in the series. Season 3 will take the story ahead from there.
Right after the finale of season 2, the makers released an official announcement stating the story will continue by adapting the manga’s ‘Cullling Game arc’. The story from here on focuses on the immediate aftermath of Shibuya and witnesses the return of Yukka Okkotsu. It follows Yuji Itadori, Megumi Fushiguro, and their supporters as they enter the Culling Game to rescue Tsumiki Fushiguro and free Satoru Gojo from the Prison Realm.

Who could comprise the cast of season 3?
The Jujutsu Kaisen season 3 voice cast is likely to largely stay the same with Junya Enoki voicing Yuji Itadori, Yuma Uchida playing Megumi Fushiguro and Asami Seto voicing Nobara Kugisaki.
As the spotlight shifted to Gojo (Yuichi Nakamura) in season 2, some changes were made to the supporting cast compared to Itadori’s group in season 1. Several new characters have been added to the cast, including Kento Nanami (voiced by Kenjiro Tsuda), Yu Haibara (voiced by Gakuto Kajiwara), Mei Mei (voiced by Kotono Mitsuishi) and Misato Kuroi (voiced by Risa Shimizu).
When could season 3 potentially release?
There was more than a two-year gap between the end of season 1 (March 2021) and the beginning of season 2 (July 2023). With the second season of the show ending on 28 December 2023, we might be quite some way off before the new season arrives if MAPPA follows the previous release pattern. So, at the very least, we don’t expect Jujutsu Kaisen to return any earlier than 2025.
But for the time being, season 2 is available for streaming exclusively on Crunchyroll.
