Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 is in the news
As mentioned earlier, Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 is airing on January 2026, and it's in the news for all the right reasons. The quality of the animation is class, and the story is good, if not great. The plot of the new season has been particularly praised, which is not surprising since it is adapting the Calling Game arc.
For the uninitiated, the calling game jujutsu is a form of terrorism used by Kenzaku to forcibly evolve humans. So Itadori Yuji and his friends must band together to stop the sorcerer. However, it won't be that easy, especially with so many other wizards and cursed spirits participating in the calling game. They all have their own personal goals, so they have no reason to make things easy for Yugi.
The heroes must also find a way to find Angel, who is a competitor, as she has the power to erase any cursed technology. With his power, Yuji can free Gojo Satoru from the prison area. Additionally, they must find a way to save Tsukimi from a terrible fate.
