Jujutsu Kaisen season 3 wrapped up the first half of the Culling Game storyline with an epic battle between Yuta Okkotsu and Ryu Ishigori.
The third season of the popular anime, based on Gege Akutami’s best-selling manga, premiered earlier this year. It follows Yuji Itadori and his fellow sorcerers as they face greater dangers following the Shibuya Incident.
Highlights
- Season 3 ends with Yuta vs Ryu as the Culling Game hits a major turning point.
- As the anime goes on hiatus, fans can continue the story in Gege Akutami’s manga.
- Although a fourth season is confirmed, past seasons suggest fans will have to wait a long time for new episodes to drop.
After episode 12, the anime has gone on hiatus, and it remains unclear when new episodes will premiere. However, fans eager for more action and drama featuring Yuji, Yuta, and Gojo can turn to the manga.
