Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 is already one of the most anticipated anime, and now the fandom is in a frenzy because of the latest reveal that happened at the Jump Festa 202. We finally have a final trailer that showcases the fine animation by MAPPA, which in turn has taken the expectations of fans to a whole new level. We also have a major cast announcement of who will be introduced in this upcoming installment, and the production team can confidently claim that the line-up of voice actors is stacked.
It is only going to elevate the viewing experience because getting a perfect voice behind a character can make or break a series. Moreover, according to the official announcements in Jump Festa 2026, Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 will start airing from January 8, 2026. This is additional great news for fans because the Execution movie was recently released in theaters, and that has kept the hype around this franchise alive.
The long-awaited adaptation of the “Culling Game” arc is shaping up to be the most intense chapter of the anime yet. Those who watched the newly released footage, it makes things clear that Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 is escalating both the scale and brutality of the series. MAPPA Studio has incorporated faster cuts, heavier shadows, and relentless action dominate the trailer, reinforcing that the safety net established in earlier arcs is completely gone. This is Jujutsu Kaisen at its most unforgiving.
The Culling Game arc pushes Jujutsu Kaisen into deadlier territory
Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 is going to adapt the Culling Game arc. It is undoubtedly one of the most beloved and brutal storylines in Gege Akutami’s manga. Set in the aftermath of the devastating Shibuya Incident, the arc introduces a deadly, battle royale–style competition orchestrated by Kenjaku. For those who have read the manga know that this is where the story is going to have stakes higher than ever.
With no more Gojo to keep the world in balance, everyone has to give their best. But one thing is for sure, that this upcoming arc is going to be battle intense, and looking at the key visual, it confirms the fact that the story will maintain a serious tone. Characters will be pushed into dangerous situations where they will have to fight against some difficult opponents.
Rise of new faces in Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3
The Jump Festa 2026 reveal also confirmed a powerful lineup of new voice cast members:
- Kazuya Nakai joins as Kinji Hakari
- Yuki Sakakihara as Kirara Hoshi
- Tomokazu Sugita as Hiromi Higuruma
- Satoshi Tsuruoka as Fumihiko Takaba
- Minoru Aoyama as Reggie Star
- Niko as Kogane
Together, they form the backbone of the Culling Game’s morally complex roster.

As we know that the first two episodes of Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 were part of the Execution movie, and fans who watched this film are already aware of how quickly things are going to change in the narrative. With the manga officially concluded, the anime now carries the weight of adapting its most ruthless and transformative arcs.
Things are going to get intense before anyone has a chance to register the events happening around them, but for fans, this just means that they will be sitting on the edge of their seats. As January 8 approaches, one thing is certain: the Culling Game will change Jujutsu Kaisen forever.
