There is no greater blessing for a successful anime than having enough original content to be able to continue a season immediately after the recently aired one. This is not normal. Normal is having to wait several years to have enough original content to do so. But if the demon works fast, Gege Akutami works even faster, and that’s not a problem that Jujutsu Kaisen is going to have.
Last Thursday ended the devastating second season of Jujutsu Kaisen, closing with a tone that can only be described as catastrophic. Much darker, harsher, and more virulent, the series has ended at a point where everything is going downhill for its protagonists with no brakes. Many fans may be pulling their hair out after the Shibuya Incident arc, thinking about how long they will have to wait to continue watching its continuation, but we have good news. It won’t be long.
With a video shared on the official anime website, the studio has announced that the third season will adapt the following arc of the manga: Culling Game. And also, we won’t have to wait several years to see it. Because it will arrive at some point in the second half of 2024.
What can we expect from this new arc? Well, if you’re familiar with what happens in the second season, you can already imagine it. Itadori, Fushiguro, and Okkotsu will have to join forces again against Kenjaku, but this time with fewer resources and in a much more brutal and desperate context. And you better be prepared. Because this arc is full of action, powers, and crazy twists like we haven’t seen in the anime so far, if they respect what has happened in the manga up to now.
But while we won’t have to wait long, we’ll still have to wait a little. In the meantime, you can always catch up by watching the first two seasons of the series on Crunchyroll if you haven’t already. And if you have, why not watch them again in preparation for this third season?
