Jujutsu Kaisen: MAPPA Just Killed The Anime’s Hype With One Decision

by

This post contains spoilers for Jujutsu Kaisen.

Following years of anticipation, MAPPA officially revealed that the third season of “Jujutsu Kaisen” will be out in early 2026, much to the delight of fans. However, the enthusiasm took a hit when the studio unveiled a surprising detail about the new season.

Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 Will Be Split Into Different Parts

JJK Season 3 Will Be Divided

  • JJK Season 3 is coming out in January 2026
  • Jujutsu Kaisen’s new season will be divided into two

The official account of what was previously known as Twitter announced news about the third season of Jujutsu Kaisen. It appears that only Part 1 of Season 3 will premiere in January 2026, with the remaining episodes set to follow at a later date. This decision to divide the new season into multiple parts has left fans disappointed and feeling let down, as they’ve been waiting quite some time for an update on the anime produced by MAPPA.

MAPPA might have its justifications, but splitting Season 3 isn’t an astute move. Although fans are eager for new content after a long wait, they could endure slightly longer if it meant getting the whole season at once. MAPPA could’ve postponed the anime by several more months and presented the entire season in one go instead. If the initial part of Season 3 is longer, it’s feasible that the remaining episodes may not be released until late 2026 or even 2027.

Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 Will Be The Best One Yet

Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 Will Surpass All Previous Ones

It’s undeniable that fans have expressed their dissatisfaction with MAPPA’s decision to divide the third season, but there are numerous reasons to stay optimistic. To begin, JJK Season 3 is anticipated to surpass all previous seasons in quality. MAPPA has a proven track record of enhancing aspects as time progresses. The initial season of Jujutsu Kaisen was outstanding, yet the second season showcased even more improvement. Following this pattern, the third season is expected to reach new heights entirely. Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 will most likely cover these story arcs:

  • Itadori’s Extermination Arc
  • Perfect Preparation Arc
  • Culling Game Arc

In simpler terms, for the initial segment of Season 3, we can anticipate the narrative to encompass Itadori’s Extermination Arc, the Perfect Preparation Arc, and potentially half of the Culling Game Arc, given its extended length compared to the other arcs. The production studio has confirmed that the third season will delve into the Culling Game Arc, which seems to be a major attraction for fans. Therefore, it’s reasonable to expect that some part of the Culling Game Arc will be shown in the initial episodes of the new season.

Fans across the board think that the Culling Game storyline is the most thrilling part of the manga, and they can’t wait to see it unfold in the anime. This arc features more battles than even the Shibuya Incident, so expect an abundance of action in Season 3 that surpasses anything fans saw during the second season.

Jujutsu Kaisen Will Be A Strong Contender For Anime Of The Year

The third season of Jujutsu Kaisen hasn’t been released yet, but fans anticipate it as a strong contender for Anime of the Year. Each year, the title “Anime of the Year” is given to the best anime. Currently, Solo Leveling holds this honor, but there’s a good chance Jujutsu Kaisen will take it next.

In addition to Jujutsu Kaisen, a number of other highly anticipated anime series are set to premiere in January 2026. These include the second season of Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End, the return of Hell’s Paradise for its second season, and the final season of Fire Force.

It’s clear that JJK faces stiff competition, making it challenging to surpass them. Among the competitors, Frieren stands out as a significant challenge given its status as the highest-rated anime series on MyAnimeList. Viewers have praised it as the epitome of anime, and with a second season on the horizon, expectations are high for its continued success. Notably, “Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End Season 2” is being developed by Madhouse, a renowned studio, ensuring that the quality will likely match or even surpass the first season.
