Forget Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3, This Is Going To Be The Biggest Anime Of 2026

This post contains spoilers for Jujutsu Kaisen.

Jujutsu Kaisen quickly rose to become a globally popular series. Its popularity significantly increased after the first season of the anime, and the second season further boosted its success.

Since its release, the *Jujutsu Kaisen* manga has become incredibly popular, selling over 100 million copies and ranking among the best-selling manga ever. With the manga finishing in 2024, fans were very excited for the third season of the anime adaptation.

Kagurbachi Anime Might Be Released In 2026

Kagurabachi Domain Was Recently Registered

The third season of Jujutsu Kaisen is scheduled to premiere in January 2026. It will adapt the highly anticipated Culling Games arc, promising plenty of action. After a long wait, fans are finally getting the new season, but first, a special movie will be released in November. This movie will recap season two and include some early content from season three. The studio, MAPPA, is effectively building excitement and knows these types of movies help reach a wider audience. While Jujutsu Kaisen season 3 is expected to be excellent, it might not be the biggest anime release of 2026.

A website address (domain) for the series Kagurabachi was recently registered. This often happens right before an anime announcement is made – for example, the same thing occurred with Sekiro before its anime was revealed. Based on this pattern, we can expect an official announcement about a Kagurabachi anime in the next few weeks.

Kagurabachi is a currently running manga in Weekly Shonen Jump that started as a bit of a surprise hit. While initially dismissed by some, it quickly gained a following thanks to its strong story and exciting action. Though a few fans find the characters somewhat lacking, it’s still considered better than many other manga series. If an anime adaptation is made, it’s expected to premiere around 2026, potentially competing with the third season of Jujutsu Kaisen.

High-quality animation could be a huge advantage for Kagurabachi. We’ve seen how great adaptations can dramatically increase an anime’s popularity, and *Solo Leveling* is a perfect example. It went from being fairly well-known to becoming one of the most popular anime series globally, and Kagurabachi is hoping to achieve similar success.

Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 Is Facing Tough Competition

2026 Is Filled With Phenomenal Anime

Now that we know when Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 will air, it’s clear the anime will face strong competition. Even if Kagurabachi isn’t released until 2026, several other shows could steal the spotlight. Notably, Season 2 of Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End is coming out at the same time. As the sequel to the top-rated anime on MyAnimeList, and with Madhouse producing it, it’s sure to be a visually stunning series.

Fans of Hell’s Paradise can look forward to Season 2 in January 2026, continuing the story from the popular manga. The first season was highly acclaimed for its unique visuals and storytelling. MAPPA is animating the new season. Also in January, the final part of Fire Force will be released, bringing the exciting and action-packed story to a close. Fire Force is created by David Production, the studio known for JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure.

David Production is planning to release the Steel Ball Run anime in 2026. While an exact date hasn’t been announced, strong rumors point to a 2026 launch. The anime will be a Netflix exclusive, which has some fans concerned, as Netflix previously released the Stone Ocean anime in batches, diminishing excitement. Hopefully, the release of Steel Ball Run will be handled differently. Regardless, 2026 promises to be a significant year for anime fans.
