That’s not something you see every day, even in this industry.

Over the past few days, fans of Jujutsu Kaisen have found themselves quite occupied, as they’ve had to catch up with numerous announcements concerning the franchise. The franchise has been thriving, and it offered several updates during Jump Festa 2025.

On the inaugural day of Jump Festa 2025, it was Jujutsu Kaisen that stole the show. Exciting news about the series was unveiled, including an announcement for a new compilation film, focusing on the Hidden Inventory arc. This highly anticipated movie is set to hit theaters on May 30, 2025. To further build anticipation, a captivating visual for the series was released, showcasing Geto and Satoru.

Jujutsu Kaisen recently unveiled a fresh key image for its upcoming third season in anime. The news about the third season came soon after wrapping up the Shibuya Incident storyline. Fans were eagerly waiting for some release details, but instead, they’ve received a new visual to tide them over.

The third major update unveiled is the publication of a 16-page supplementary chapter focusing on Urame, Panda, Nobara, and Ozawa. Within this supplement, creator Gege Akutami intends to tie up any lingering plot threads and provide these characters with fitting conclusions.

Jujutsu Kaisen’s Popularity Is On The Rise

  • Manga has been selling like hot cakes
  • Anime adaptation has received critical acclaim

The manga Jujutsu Kaisen started publishing in Weekly Shonen Jump magazine back in March 2018. Gege Akutami concluded the series a total of six years later, in September 2024. Some fans expressed dissatisfaction with the ending because they believed it was wrapped up too quickly. Despite this somewhat contentious finale, the popularity of Jujutsu Kaisen remains undiminished. It continues to be one of the most beloved anime series globally.

The animated adaptation of Jujutsu Kaisen debuted in October 2020, garnering favorable reviews, particularly among viewers captivated by its dynamic action sequences. MAPPA launched the second season in July 2023, spanning a total of 23 episodes.

Apart from the anime series “Jujutsu Kaisen”, there are also two video games associated with it. One of them, titled “Jujutsu Kaisen: Cursed Clash”, was launched on all significant consoles and PC in February 2024. The other game is called “Jujutsu Kaisen: Phantom Parade”. This game can be played on smartphones running Android or iOS operating systems.

I’m absolutely thrilled to share that the captivating world of Jujutsu Kaisen expanded further with two engaging light novels! Penned by the talented Ballad Kitaguni, these stories delved deeper into this enchanting universe. The first novel was unveiled in 2019, followed closely by the second one in 2020. Each page turned felt like a new adventure unfolding before my eyes!
