As fans eagerly waiting for the anime Jujutsu Kaisen’s Season 3, there’s a lot to look forward to. Following the intense Shibuya Incident Arc, the upcoming season is expected to dive into two significant arcs from the manga: the Perfect Preparation Arc and the Culling Game Arc. These arcs bring deeper character development, shocking plot twists, and some of the most intense battles yet.
1. Perfect Preparation Arc
The Perfect Preparation Arc serves as a bridge between the Shibuya Incident and the Culling Game, addressing the aftermath of the chaos and setting the stage for the next big conflict.
Yuta Okkotsu’s Return
Yuta Okkotsu, a key character from the “Jujutsu Kaisen 0” prequel, returns to the main storyline in a big way. Initially sent on a mission to execute Yuji Itadori (under orders from higher-ups who consider Yuji too dangerous due to Sukuna), Yuta reveals his true intentions later in the arc. Showcasing his incredible strength and curse manipulation abilities. His return adds a new dynamic to the story and reinforces the theme of loyalty among jujutsu sorcerers.
Yuji and Choso’s Alliance
After the Shibuya Incident, Yuji Itadori is dealing with the heavy burden of the deaths caused by Sukuna’s rampage. He teams up with Choso, the Death Painting Womb who believes Yuji is his brother. Choso’s emotional bond with Yuji leads to a surprising but compelling partnership. Together, they face off against formidable enemies, including members of the Zenin Clan.
Naoya Zenin, a major antagonist in this arc, is a dangerous and arrogant member of the corrupt Zenin Clan. His sadism exposes deep issues in the jujutsu world, especially regarding clan politics and bloodlines. Confrontations with him highlight the growing strength of Yuji and Choso.
Maki Zenin’s Transformation
Maki Zenin undergoes a significant transformation in this arc. After a brutal clash with her own family, she gains immense power, surpassing her previous limits. Her journey highlights the oppressive nature of the Zenin Clan, as she aims to break down the structures that rejected her. Maki’s transformation, both physical and emotional, makes her one of the most compelling characters in this arc.
2. The Culling Game Arc
The Culling Game Arc is one of the most ambitious and complex parts of Jujutsu Kaisen, introducing a deadly competition that forces both sorcerers and civilians to fight for survival. This arc is expected to dominate Season 3, introducing a mix of new and returning characters, intricate strategies, and high-stakes battles.
The Culling Game: A Deadly Competition

Using Suguru Geto’s body, Kenjaku creates a deadly competition that forces participants into life-and-death battles across various colonies.

Megumi Fushiguro’s Mission

This mission pushes Megumi to expand his abilities and reveals more about his cursed technique. His role is vital as he navigates the dangers of the game while protecting those he cares about.
Yuji Itadori’s Struggles
Yuji Itadori remains central to the conflict in the Culling Game, facing tougher opponents that push his physical and mental limits. The burden of Sukuna’s presence intensifies, causing internal strife and existential dread. Yuji’s journey is about more than survival; it’s about grappling with his role as both a hero and a potential threat.
Kenjaku’s Master Plan
As the Culling Game progresses, Kenjaku reveals his plan to merge humanity with cursed energy on a massive scale. This scheme could drastically reshape the world, putting both sorcerers and ordinary people at risk. The stakes are high: sorcerers must survive the game and stop Kenjaku before it’s too late.
