This post contains spoilers for Jujutsu Kaisen.
Jujutsu Kaisen has become one of the most popular series in the world in next to no time. The series' fame increased tenfold after the first season of the anime. The second season of the anime only added to the popularity of Jujutsu Kaisen.
Since it began serialization, the Jujutsu Kaisen manga has sold more than 100 million copies, making it one of the best-selling manga of all time. With the manga concluding in 2024, fans were eagerly waiting for the third season of the anime.
Jujutsu Kaisen Animator Reveals A Major Detail About Season 3
Jujutsu Kaisen animator has confirmed that the anime was in the works for quite some time.
Kagurbachi Anime Might Be Released In 2026
Kagurabachi Domain Was Recently Registered
- Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 is releasing in January 2026
- Kagurabachi anime could be announced soon
Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 is set to be released in January 2026. The anime will cover the Culling Games arc, which is packed with action. As previously stated, fans have been waiting for years to watch the new season, and now their patience has paid off. Before the third season hits the streaming platforms, a recompilation movie will be released in November, which will cover the second season and a couple of episodes from the third. MAPPA clearly knows how to generate hype, and it knows that such movies help to spread the word. There is no denying that Jujutsu Kaisen 3 will be phenomenal, but there is a chance that it won't be the biggest release of 2026.
Recently, a domain was registered for Kagurabachi. While it may not seem significant, it is worth mentioning that domains are registered when an anime adaptation is ready to be announced. A recent example is Sekiro. Before the anime was announced, a domain was registered. Going by that logic, it's likely that Kagurabachi's anime adaptation will be officially announced in the coming weeks.
For the uninitiated, Kagurabachi is an ongoing series in the Weekly Shonen Jump. Initially, it was treated as a joke, but with time, the quality of the series won over the audience. Kagurabachi is full of action, and it has a really solid plot. Some fans may feel that the cast may feel underwhelming, but it's still better than most manga out there. If the Kagurabachi anime is announced, it is likely to air in 2026, meaning it will pose a challenge to Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3.
If the animation quality is high, it will give Kagurabachi a massive boost. Anime fans have seen how a solid adaptation can change everything, and Solo Leveling is the best example. It went from being a moderately popular anime to one of the most famous anime series in the world. Kagurabachi will try to follow the example set by Solo Leveling.
Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 Is Facing Tough Competition
2026 Is Filled With Phenomenal Anime
With Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3's release date decided, fans know that the anime will be up against tough competition. Even if the Kagurabachi anime isn't released in 2026, there are many other titles that could overshadow Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3. For starters, Frieren: Beyond Journey's End Season 2 is being released in the same month. It is the successor to the highest-rated anime on MyAnimeList. The anime is being produced by Madhouse, so it will definitely be a spectacle.
Hell's Paradise Season 2 is also releasing in January 2026. The anime is based on the manga of the same name. The first season received a ton of praise for its direction and style. Hell's Paradise Season 2 is being handled by MAPPA. Fire Force will also release the final part of the anime in the same month. It has a riveting story with some epic battles. Fire Force is produced by David Production, which is the studio behind JoJo's Bizarre Adventure.
Speaking of David Production, the studio is releasing the much-awaited Steel Ball Run anime in 2026. Currently, a precise release has not been shared by fans, but there are strong rumors that suggest a 2026 release. Steel Ball Run will only be exclusively available on Netflix, which has worried some fans. Previously, the streaming giant killed the hype of Stone Ocean by releasing the anime in batches. Hopefully, things will be different this time around. One thing is for certain: 2026 will be a big year for anime.
