Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 Teaser: Crunchyroll Release in January 2026
Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3: The Culling is premiering exclusively on Crunchyroll in January 2026, and we've got a look at the official teaser.
During the live-streamed Jujutsu Kaisen 5th Anniversary Special, the first teaser trailer for Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 was shared, which also announced that it will air in January 2026. Also referred to as Jujutsu Kaisen: The Culling Game, it has been decided that Crunchyroll will stream the third season of the hit anime series exclusively worldwide, excluding Asia, with new episodes premiering weekly, same-day as Japan.
In Jujutsu Kaisen, Yuji Itadori is a boy with tremendous physical strength, though he lives a completely ordinary high school life. One day, to save a classmate who had been attacked by curses, he ate the finger of Ryomen Sukuna, taking the curse into his own soul. From then on, he shares one body with Ryomen Sukuna. Guided by the most powerful of sorcerers, Satoru Gojo, Itadori is admitted to Tokyo Jujutsu High School. This organization fights the curses… and thus begins the heroic tale of a boy who became a curse to exorcise a curse, a life from which he could never turn back.
Based on the best-selling manga of the same title written and illustrated by Gege Akutami, the anime series is produced by TOHO Animation and animated by MAPPA (Chainsaw Man; Attack on Titan Final Season; Hell's Paradise). With over 100 million copies currently in circulation, the manga was serialized in Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump until the series ended in September 2024. In the US, the manga is published by VIZ Media.
The teaser trailer shows Yuji Itadori in conflict and despair after believing he has killed many people from the "Shibuya Incident." It also shows a fierce battle between Yuji and Yuta Okkotsu, the main protagonist from the film Jujutsu Kaisen 0. The preview also features a heated exchange between new character Naoya Zen'in and Choso.
