Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 Prepares a Big Surprise for Fans With Its Next Episode

Season 3 of Jujutsu Kaisen is currently airing and is a standout anime this season, and possibly the year. This season adapts the ‘Culling Game’ arc from the manga, which signals the beginning of the end for the series. We’ll see the characters reach their full potential as they gear up to face the biggest threats. The most recent episode was exceptionally detailed, carefully setting up the next steps for the Jujutsu Sorcerers. Although their main goal is to find Angel to help free Gojo, each character is taking their own path to prepare for the challenges ahead.

The next episode of Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 will center around Maki’s journey to the Zenin clan to find cursed tools and become more powerful. Episode 4, titled “Perfect Preparation,” will cover Maki’s story in full and will be longer than usual—28 minutes instead of the typical 24. This extended runtime demonstrates MAPPA’s commitment to delivering a high-quality adaptation this season.

Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3’s Next Episode Will Be Longer Than Its Usual Runtime

The next episode is going to be longer than usual, and a trusted source online has confirmed it will cover five chapters of the story, specifically focusing on Maki’s time with the Zenin Clan. Some viewers might be concerned that fitting so much into one episode, even a longer one, could feel rushed. However, this section of the story is action-packed, and the extra time suggests the studio wants to do it justice and avoid cutting important details. The longer runtime is a good sign they’re prioritizing a well-developed adaptation.

The upcoming episode of Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 will likely be a pivotal moment for Maki, and previews indicate her visit to the Zenin Clan won’t be easy. She’ll face opposition from Naoya, a newly introduced clan member, and will also have to confront her sister, Mai, which adds significant emotional stakes. Fans of Maki can expect a standout episode that further develops her story.
