After a three-year wait, Jujutsu Kaisen has finally returned. Season 3 is now rolling out, and fans can stream the new episodes online without delay.
The anime’s comeback follows the December 2025 theatrical release, which hinted at darker events ahead. Season 3 now continues the main storyline on streaming platforms, picking up immediately after the devastating Shibuya Incident arc.
The new season opens in a broken Tokyo. The fallout from Shibuya continues to haunt the city. Yuji Itadori is hunted, blamed, and officially sentenced to death. That grim reality sets the tone from the very first scene.

How Season 3 Begins
Season 3 moves fast and pulls no punches. Satoru Gojo remains sealed. Authorities label Yuji a criminal. His suspended execution is reinstated without hesitation.
The order to kill Yuji falls to Yuta Okkotsu, the special-grade sorcerer and lead of Jujutsu Kaisen 0. Their encounter anchors episodes 1 and 2 and adapts Itadori’s Extermination arc from the manga.
Meanwhile, power struggles spread across the jujutsu world. The Zenin clan begins to collapse. Naoya Zenin enters with dangerous intent. Choso steps forward at a critical moment, adding emotional weight to the conflict.
What to Expect Next
Season 3 lays the groundwork for what comes after. The Culling Game has not yet begun, but the story clearly builds toward it. The atmosphere feels heavier. The risks feel higher. Tokyo now resembles a city on the edge of collapse.
With its darker tone and intense character clashes, Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 signals a major turning point for the series, and it starts with no mercy.
