This post contains spoilers for Jujutsu Kaisen.

Jujutsu Kaisen is a massive anime hit, and it’s become incredibly popular very quickly. Those who are familiar with the series – whether through the manga or the anime – agree that all the praise it receives is well-deserved.

Gege Akutami was key to the success of Jujutsu Kaisen, as they both wrote and illustrated the original manga. The animation studio MAPPA also deserves praise for creating a fantastic anime adaptation that brought the series to a wider audience. Since its debut, Jujutsu Kaisen has become recognized as one of the greatest action anime ever made, and fans are excited for the upcoming third season—though the story’s tone may shift dramatically soon.

Sentenced To Be A Hero Might Overshadow Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3

  • Sentenced To Be A Hero has a great story
  • The series also has excellent animation

The anime Sentenced To Be A Hero, published by Kadokawa, began airing on January 1, 2025. Before the first episode, many people predicted it wouldn’t be very popular and would quickly fade into obscurity, as it hadn’t generated much excitement. However, they were proven wrong. After its release, viewers were surprised and captivated by the show’s high quality.

The first episode of Sentenced To Be A Hero was excellent, lasting almost an hour without feeling too long. The pacing and action were particularly impressive, and it was clear that Studio Kai put a lot of passion and effort into making it. The animation was also top-notch.

The first episode of ‘Sentenced To Be A Hero’ is a promising start, and if the rest of the series maintains this quality, it could be even better than ‘Jujutsu Kaisen’ Season 3. A lot depends on Studio KAI and whether they continue to put the same amount of work into each episode. With only one episode out of twelve released so far, it’s still early to say for sure, but fans should have a clearer idea after a few more episodes air.

Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 Will Be The Best One Yet

It’s still uncertain if “Sentenced To Be A Hero” will surpass Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3, but Season 3 is shaping up to be the series’ best yet. This season will adapt the highly anticipated Culling Game arc from the manga, known for its intense battles, and MAPPA studio is committed to delivering spectacular fight animation.

Season three will introduce a lot of new characters who will play important roles in the story. Here are a few you can expect to see featured:

  • Naoya Zenin
  • Kinji Hakari
  • Hajime Kashimo
  • Hiromi Higuruma

Besides the characters already announced, new faces will appear in the third season. We’re keeping their identities a secret for now to build excitement.

Jujutsu Kaisen’s Third Season Will Showcase An Epic Battle Between Yuta And Yuji

One of the most anticipated parts of the new season will be the intense fight between Itadori Yuji and Yuta Okkotsu. Fans were excited to see Yuta—the main character from the JJK 0 prequel—in action at the end of season 2, when he rescued a child. However, that excitement quickly turned to shock when he announced his mission: to eliminate Itadori. Had Gojo Satoru not been sealed, the leaders of Jujutsu High would never have dared to order Itadori’s death.

Honestly, it was a really tough situation. Once Kenjaku sealed away the most powerful sorcerer ever, the leaders at Jujutsu High suddenly had a lot more freedom to do what they wanted. They’d never been fans of Yuji Itadori becoming Sukuna’s vessel, and this felt like their chance to finally deal with him.
