List of Jujutsu Kaisen episodes
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jujutsu Kaisen is an anime television series based on the manga series Jujutsu Kaisen by Gege Akutami. The anime series was announced in the 52nd issue of Weekly Shōnen Jump published in November 2019.[1] The story follows high school student Yuji Itadori as he joins a secret organization of Jujutsu Sorcerers in order to kill a powerful Curse named Ryomen Sukuna, to which Yuji becomes host.
The first season was produced by MAPPA and directed by Sunghoo Park. Hiroshi Seko wrote the scripts, Tadashi Hiramatsu designed the characters, and Hiroaki Tsutsumi, Yoshimasa Terui, and Alisa Okehazama composed the music. While the anime had an advanced streaming debut on September 19, 2020,[2] it officially aired on MBS and TBS's Super Animeism programming block from October 3, 2020, to March 27, 2021.[3][4][5][a] The season ran for 24 episodes.[6]
The anime is licensed by Crunchyroll for streaming outside of Asia.[7] Crunchyroll has released language dubs for the series in English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, and Italian, in addition to a Russian voice-over stream that premiered on November 20, 2020.[8][9] In Southeast Asia, Medialink licensed the series and streamed it on iQIYI.[10][11] The first Japanese home media volume was released on January 20, 2021.[12]
On February 12, 2022, a second season was announced.[13] Shōta Goshozono replaced Sunghoo Park as series director, with Sayaka Koiso and Hiramatsu designing the characters and Terui returning as the sole composer.[14] The season aired from July 6 to December 28, 2023.[15] It ran for two continuous cours and adapted the manga's "Hidden Inventory / Premature Death" and "Shibuya Incident" story arcs.[16]
After the second season's finale, a sequel covering the manga's "Culling Game" story arc was announced.[17] In August 2025, it was revealed that the sequel would be the third season. It premiered with a one-hour special featuring the first two episodes on January 9, 2026.[18][19][20][b] The third season concluded with an extended 27-minute episode on March 27, 2026.[21][c] Immediately following its broadcast, a fourth season which is expected to adapt the remaining half of the "Culling Game" was announced.[23]
