Since the premier has created a hype in the fandom, viewers are now looking forward to watching Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 Episode 3. The first two episodes were released at the same time, and fans got to witness back-to-back moments that were emotionally brutal. Now that the story is getting closer to the Culling Games, the narrative is openly tightening its grip. The premiere itself was worth waiting for those who had not watched the Jujutsu Kaisen: Execution movie.
It is clear that in Season 3 that from the outset that there is no reset button after Shibuya; all actions will end up only with consequences, guilt, and escalation. According to official sources, it is confirmed that Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 Episode 3 is going to be released on January 15, 2026. Because of the popularity of this series, fans have multiple options to stream this show on various streaming platforms like Crunchyroll, Netflix, Amazon Prime, and Disney Hotstar.
Recap of Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 premiere

As the first two episodes of Season 3 were released simultaneously and the story was a bridge between Shibuya and also built up on the chaos that is yet to come. Meanwhile, Itadori Yuji is still haunted by all the lives that were lost when Sukuna had taken over his body. Now he is hunted by people of the Jujutsu world as they feel he is a threat that needs to be eliminated, and there is no Gojo to come in between to save Itadori.
This task is given to Yuta, who is also an extremely powerful character, and it just goes to show how much the higher authorities in the Jujutsu world would go to stop Itadori from living. Which is understandable because Sukuna is not someone anyone would take lightly.
Meanwhile, the Zen’in clan collapsed under internal conflict. Naobito Zen’in’s death triggered a power struggle, with Naoya Zen’in targeting both Megumi Fushiguro and Yuji. Choso’s brutal clash with Naoya further reinforced that family, legacy, and resentment are driving just as much bloodshed as curses themselves.
By the end of Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 Episode 2, we see that all of the group reunited at the Jujutsu High and started walking towards Master Tengen's domain. They want answers about all the mysteries surrounding Kenjaku's plan, the prison realm, and even try to uncover the true motive behind the Culling Games.
What to expect from Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 Episode 3? (Speculative)

With Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 Episode 3, fans should expect it to mark the true start of the Culling Game arc rather than just its ominous introduction. Some possible plotlines that could be covered in the coming installment are:
- With Tengen finally appearing, viewers can anticipate clearer explanations of the game’s structure, its colonies, and the rules binding every participating sorcerer.
- This episode is also likely to deepen Kenjaku’s presence. While he has remained mostly off-screen so far, the game itself is his masterpiece, and Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 Episode 3 should begin revealing how calculated and irreversible his plan truly is.
- Yuji’s mental state will remain a central focus. His condition for joining the fight, that Yuta kill him if Sukuna resurfaces, hangs over every decision he makes. Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 Episode 3 may start testing that resolve as the reality of the game’s violence becomes unavoidable.
In the end, one thing is clear: the stakes are higher than ever, and no character can take a break even for a second because no one is safe. For now, Episode is ready to redefine the pacing of the story, and everyone will witness the brutality of this season entirely.
