Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 Premiere: Highlights of Episodes 48 and 49

Season 3 dives directly into the "Culling Game Arc," with the first two episodes titled:

• Episode 48 (Season 3, Episode 1): "Execution"
• Episode 49 (Season 3, Episode 2): "Once More"

The titles reflect key turning points from the original manga—the revocation of Yuji Itadori's death sentence reprieve and the moment he reaffirms his convictions.

Plot Summary: Chaos and Purge After the Shibuya Incident

Tokyo Transforms into a Demon's Den: Yuji and Choso's Lonely Hunt

After the "Shibuya Incident," Tokyo has become a demon's den overrun by cursed spirits. Yuji Itadori and Choso hunt cursed spirits amidst the ruins, trying to maintain what little order remains.

New Power in the Zenin Clan: Zenin Naoya's Ambition

A major upheaval occurs within the Zenin Clan, one of the Three Great Families. Zenin Naoya, who aims to seize the position of clan head, targets the next heir, Megumi Fushiguro, to eliminate obstacles. He attacks Yuji and Choso to probe for Megumi's whereabouts.

Special Grade Sorcerer Yuta Okkotsu Appears as the Death Sentence Executor

During the battle, Yuji learns from Naoya that his "death sentence reprieve" has been revoked. Immediately after, the one assigned as the executioner is none other than the Special Grade Sorcerer, Yuta Okkotsu.

Yuta displays overwhelming cursed energy, pushing Yuji to the brink. Faced with the incredibly fast Zenin Naoya and the unfathomable Yuta Okkotsu, how will Yuji and Choso confront this seemingly hopeless situation?

Key Characters and Voice Cast

In the preview images, Yuji Itadori's eyes appear more determined and cold. Two key characters take the spotlight:

• Yuta Okkotsu: Making a powerful return to the main story after "Jujutsu Kaisen 0," the preview images showcase his chilling aura, a stark contrast to his previous gentle image.
• Zenin Naoya: An important antagonist in the new arc, his arrogant demeanor is unmistakable. The animation of his "Projection Sorcery" technique will be a major highlight.

Conclusion

"Jujutsu Kaisen" Season 3's Culling Game Arc will begin with exceptionally high-quality animation and a fast-paced narrative. Can Yuji Itadori survive under Yuta Okkotsu's blade? What fate awaits Megumi Fushiguro? This 1-hour visual feast is a must-watch for all anime fans as we kick off 2026.
