Jujutsu Kaisen is back for a third season, and it’s incredibly popular! It’s actually become the most-watched anime series globally, surpassing even long-running hits like One Piece and Attack on Titan, according to Guinness World Records.
This anime is based on the hit manga series by Gege Akutami and follows a world where jujutsu sorcery—a dangerous and supernatural art—is used to combat powerful curses born from negative human emotions.
Jujutsu Kaisen is set in a world of hidden sorcerers and dangerous curses. The story follows Yuji Itadori, a high school student who develops amazing abilities after swallowing a cursed object to protect his friend.
After this, he enrolls at Tokyo Jujutsu High School, a place dedicated to battling curses. There, he discovers how to harness his abilities, masters the techniques of jujutsu sorcery, and confronts dangerous cursed spirits.
The second season finished with the aftermath of the Shibuya Incident. This attack, planned by the powerful and ancient curse user Kenjaku, resulted in Satoru Gojo, the world’s strongest sorcerer, being trapped in the Prison Realm.
If you’re still getting caught up on seasons one and two, plus the prequel movie, here’s a rundown of what to expect in Jujutsu Kaisen’s third season.

What’s the plot of Jujutsu Kaisen?
This fantasy series is set in a world filled with magic, where hidden sorcerers fight intense battles against powerful, cursed spirits.
After swallowing a cursed object, high school student Yuji Itadori becomes host to the incredibly powerful demon Sukuna. He then joins Jujutsu High School to learn how to control his new abilities and become a Jujutsu Sorcerer.
During his first year, he fights challenging curses like Cursed Wombs, learning from his teacher, Satoru Gojo, and teaming up with Megumi Fushiguro and Nobara Kugisaki. The second season concluded with the end of the Death Painting Arc.
The season ended with the shocking Shibuya Incident, a chaotic and destructive arc where Yuji Itadori was left heartbroken and believing he had caused the deaths of many people during the intense fighting in Tokyo.
Season three will cover the intense Culling Game storyline, promising a fierce, battle royale-like competition. This dangerous event is being controlled by Kenjaku, a powerful and manipulative cursed spirit.
Jujutsu Kaisen season 3 will be available to watch on Crunchyroll from 8th January 2026.
