This article contains spoilers from the JJK series.

Though the Jujutsu Kaisen manga concluded in 2024, fans are thrilled to have the series back this year with Season 3! The new season has begun airing and is immediately full of intense action. Fans have been eagerly waiting to see the Culling Game arc adapted, and so far, it’s been a fantastic adaptation. The Culling Game has started strong and promises to get even better.

The first three episodes of Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 were amazing, filled with incredible fights and important story details. But fans are predicting the next episode will be even better! Episode 4 is generating a huge amount of excitement and is being called the best episode of the series so far – some even believe it will top the epic battle between Sukuna and Mahoraga from Season 2. Many are already saying it could be the best anime episode of 2026, which is a really bold claim! With the episode releasing soon, Jujutsu Kaisen fans are eagerly counting down the hours.

Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 Episode 4 Is The Biggest Anime Episode Of The Year So Far

  • JJK Season 3 Episode 4 features some big animators
  • New Episode set to cover Maki vs Zenin Clan

Many people involved in creating Jujutsu Kaisen, including director Shota Goshozono, are truly passionate about the series. This enthusiasm has attracted talented animators who are eager to contribute to its stunning visuals. Plus, the production of Season 3 appears to have been smoother than Season 2, which faced some scheduling challenges. Recent reports suggest that Season 3 is either finished or very close to completion, indicating a well-managed production process.

It’s common for anime with consistent production to have a few standout episodes, and this show is no different. While all the episodes were good, the first two episodes of Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 were exceptionally impressive. The third season wasn’t the most visually striking, but it provided a lot of important backstory and world-building.

The next episode of Jujutsu Kaisen (JJK) Season 3 is shaping up to be incredible! It will adapt a particularly thrilling part of the manga and is expected to be a standout episode that fans will remember for a long time.

JJK Season 3 Episode 4 Will Cover Maki’s Battle Against The Zenin Clan

For those familiar with the Jujutsu Kaisen manga, the next anime episode will depict events surrounding Maki’s return to the Zenin Clan. As hinted at previously, she’s going home now that Megumi has become the new head of the clan. However, her visit won’t go as expected, and it will significantly change her character’s story.

Returning to the place and people she hates most, Maki is pushed to change completely. This episode marks a turning point where Maki decisively defeats the Zenin Clan. As she does so, her Heavenly Restriction fully activates, draining her of all cursed energy. This transformation turns Maki into a powerful demon, capable of destroying an entire clan on her own, making this episode a crucial one for the animators to focus on.
