Fans were patiently awaiting the return of the series to watch the adaptation of the Culling Game in the new season, and it is safe to say that the adaptation has been top-notch so far. The Culling Game of JJK has started off with a bang, and it's only going to get better from here onwards.
Jujutsu Kaisen Director Reveals Which Character Will Shine The Most In Season 3
Season 3 of JJK will be major. The director reveals which character will shine the most.
While the first three episodes of JJK Season 3 were absolutely spectacular and featured some of the most exciting battles, as well as major lore reveals, what's coming next is going to blow the fans away. JJK Season 3 Episode 4 is being hyped up to be the single greatest episode that fans have watched so far from the franchise, and it will most likely even go on to surpass what was delivered in Season 2 with the battle between Sukuna and Mahoraga. In fact, the upcoming episode of JJK Season 3 has a fair shout for being the anime episode of the year for 2026, and that truly is incredibly exciting. With just a few hours left to go, fans absolutely cannot wait for the next episode of Jujutsu Kaisen.
Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 Episode 4 Is The Biggest Anime Episode Of The Year So Far
- JJK Season 3 Episode 4 features some big animators
- New Episode set to cover Maki vs Zenin Clan
Jujutsu Kaisen is a passion project for many, and that includes the director of the series, Shota Goshozono. Fans know very well that quite a lot of modern animators have taken a liking to the series, which is why it is easier for them to showcase splendid work on this incredible story. At the same time, fans know that Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 had a better schedule than the second season, which certainly did face some time constraints. If recent reports are to be believed, Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 has almost wrapped up production or has already done so, and in either case, that certainly seems to be a healthy production schedule.
For an anime with a rather well-balanced production schedule, it is no surprise to see a couple of episodes that blow everything else out of the water. That is not to say that the other episodes in the anime season weren't great. In fact, the first two episodes in JJK Season 3 were absolutely mind-blowing, and the third season, while not the most appealing visually, certainly did deliver tremendous lore.
Now, however, everything else is going to be blown out of the water as one of the most exciting parts of the manga is set to be adapted in the next episode. JJK Season 3 Episode 4 is a very high-priority episode, and it is set to deliver an experience that JJK fans, and anime fans in general, will remember for years, if not decades.
JJK Season 3 Episode 4 Will Cover Maki's Battle Against The Zenin Clan
Treading into spoiler-heavy territory now, fans of JJK manga would know what events the next episode of the anime will cover. As was stated in the previous episode, Maki is to pay a visit to the Zenin Clan, since Megumi was made the new Head recently. However, this visit back home isn't going to go according to plan for her, and this is where Maki's entire character arc changes.
Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 Gets A New Update From Gojo Satoru's Voice Actor
Gojo Satoru's voice actor had a new interview. He gives fans a huge update about JJK season 3.
As Maki goes back to the place that she absolutely despises and the people that made her life a living hell, she is forced to cast aside everything and evolve. This is the episode where Maki finally rises up against the Zenin Clan and utterly annihilates them. In doing so, Maki's Heavenly Restriction is fully kicked in, and the last bits of cursed energy that she possessed are taken away from her as well. The result is Maki turning into an absolute demon capable of dismantling an entire clan single-handedly, and this episode is the perfect one for the anime staff to give special priority to.
