JUJUTSU KAISEN has confirmed that the Culling Game sequel anime is in production, with voice acting already underway. The announcement was made at the ongoing Anime Expo 2025 event, where they also previewed some of the voice acting sessions. The first ‘super teaser visual’ was previously shared alongside the logo at Jump Festa in December. Present at the event were Junya Enoki (Yuji Itadori) and Megumi Ogata (Yuta Okkotsu).
Anime Corner is reporting live from the event, and the article will be updated as soon the information is uploaded on the official social media accounts. During the event, the new Juju Stroll episode was shown, before information related to the sequel were revealed.
When asked about the sequel, Junya Enoki commented: “Yes, production has begun, and she [Megumi Ogata, Yuta Okkotsu] is just beating the crap out of me. I’m getting stabbed over and over with a katana. But the final quality is really really high so I think there’s a lot to look forward to.” They also confirmed that Yuji and Choso will both fight Yuta in the new season.

Studio MAPPA animated both seasons of the TV anime and movie for the franchise, while Crunchyroll is streaming them. The story follows Yuji Itadori, a boy with insane physical abilities who ends up joining a school for jujutsu sorcerers after an encounter with Megumi Fushiguro, Satoru Gojo and Sukuna Ryomen. To delay getting executed for eating one of Sukuna’s fingers, Yuji takes on the task of finding and eating the remaining 19 fingers of the ‘strongest sorcerer in history’ in order to try and get rid of him. However, things don’t quite go as smoothly as they’d like.
