Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 Trailer Has Bad News for Gojo Fans

by

A sneak peek at the eagerly awaited Season 3 of “Jujutsu Kaisen” has arrived, hinting at the continuation after the tumultuous Shibuya Incident Arc. The preceding arc, beautifully adapted in Season 2, took the original manga to unprecedented heights. The Shibuya Incident was a relentless onslaught of devastation that took the lives of many, including the heart-wrenching demise of one of the series’ dearest characters, Kento Nanami, in his fateful clash with Mahito, the arc’s menacing villain.

The sequence of disasters might be described as having started when Gojo Satoru was imprisoned within the Realm of Prisons. With the most powerful sorcerer absent, the scales of power noticeably favored the antagonists, leading to numerous catastrophic incidents. As Suguru Geto was unmasked as Kenjaku, an ancient sorcerer now commanding the Realm of Prisons, viewers became increasingly concerned about Gojo’s welfare. Unfortunately, the latest preview suggests that Gojo’s role in the forthcoming season may not be favorable, and his situation appears grim.

Jujustu Kaisen Season 3 Hints at Gojo’s Delayed Return

In the approximately two-minute sneak peek for Season 3 of Jujutsu Kaisen, various characters expected to have prominent roles in the upcoming storyline are introduced, yet notably absent is Gojo, a crucial figure in the series. Since Gojo is highly adored by fans, his absence in this trailer hints that they might not witness the powerful sorcerer at all. The only implication of Gojo’s presence comes from Yuta Okkotsu’s dialogue without explicitly disclosing Gojo’s location. Interestingly, the sorcerers depicted in the trailer don’t seem to be planning any rescue mission for him at this moment.

The trailer primarily highlights Yuji Itadori’s actions post the Shibuya Incident, along with Yuta’s persistent intention to eliminate Yuji, driven by his commitment to a vow made to the Jujutsu authorities. This suggests that Satoru Gojo might not feature prominently in Season 3, Part 1, slated for winter 2026, which is expected to consist of 12 episodes in its initial run.

In essence, the trailer suggests that Yuki Tsukumo might take charge in Gojo’s absence, with the initial portion potentially focusing on resolving Yuji and Yuta’s issues. This resolution could pave the way for a significant plot shift in Part 2, where the sorcerers may plan a rescue mission for Gojo, making him the central focus. It’s worth mentioning that the absence of Gojo doesn’t diminish the excitement for the season; instead, it offers a chance for other characters, notably Yuji and Yuta, who are frequently viewed as joint main characters by fans, to take center stage in the narrative.
