Unfortunately, we still have no news of when Season 3 Part 2 of the Jujutsu Kaisen anime might come out. However, since the first part is ending, it’s likely that the sequel will also be announced soon.

Yosuke Yajima and Hiromi Niwa design the characters while Hiroshi Seko writes the series composition and scripts. Junichi Higashi is the art director while Yoshimasa Terui composes the music.

The anime is based on Gege Akutami’s manga of the same name which began publishing in Shueisha’s Weekly Shōnen Jump magazine in March 2018 and ended in September 2024. A sequel manga series titled Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo, illustrated by Yūji Iwasaki, was published in the same magazine from September 2025 to March 2026.
