Jujutsu Kaisen is hot off some big wins at this year’s Crunchyroll Anime Awards, taking home the crown as “Best Anime Series” among other category victories. Thanks to the popularity of the Hidden Inventory Arc and the Shibuya Incident Arc that made up season two, a third season was quickly confirmed for Jujutsu Tech’s future. It should come as no surprise that Jujutsu Kaisen’s influence grows, as it will have a role at this year’s Anime Expo.

Jujutsu Kaisen’s second season threw some major curveballs at Yuji Itadori and his friends, with the nefarious plan of Suguru Geto and Mahito coming to fruition. Locking away Gojo inside of the Prison Realm, the world has fundamentally changed as the third season will focus on the Culling Game. It might be some time before we see MAPPA unleash the third season, but rest assured, it will be an arc that will shake the foundation of Jujutsu Tech to its core.
