This post contains spoilers for Jujutsu Kaisen.
MAPPA is a popular anime studio that has been responsible for producing titles like Chainsaw Man, Banana Fish, and Attack on Titan. With such a rich catalog, it's hardly surprising that the studio has developed such a prestigious reputation.
Almost every year, fans are graced with incredible anime adaptations, and 2026 is not going to be different. In January 2026, MAPPA will release an anime that will most certainly dethrone Solo Leveling as the top anime on Crunchyroll.

Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 Will Be Bigger Than Solo Leveling
JJK Has An Immensely Large Fan Following
- JJK Season 3 is releasing in January 2026
- The new season will adapt the Culling Game arc
Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 is confirmed to be releasing in January 2026, and it is arguably the biggest hit of the year. The anime is making a comeback after three years of absence. MAPPA has already confirmed that the next installment will include content from the Culling Game arc, which is one of the most exciting arcs in the entire series. Since it is a new arc, it will include the debut of several sorcerers and curses.

JJK Season 3 will contain a lot of action and drama, which will keep viewers on the edge of their seats from start to finish. It will have an excellent quality of animation, so the fights will not be visually boring. The new season
While fans know that Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 is going to premiere on January 8th, 2026, the number of episodes remains a mystery. The studio has yet to disclose the episode, but that might change in the coming days as Jujutsu Kaisen will be present at Jump Festa 2026. The series is already teasing a major announcement, so there's a good chance that it will be related to the episode count. It is also possible that the announcement could pertain to JJK Season 3 Part 2.
Fans may have forgotten, but Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 will be divided into two parts, with the first releasing in January 2026. Currently, the studio has not divulged a release date for the second part, but it's plausible to assume that it will be released before the end of the year. Since the new season is split into two parts, it's interesting to see how much each will cover. The Culling Game arc is rather long and unlikely to be wrapped up in the first cour. So, it is very much possible for the first part to end on a cliffhanger.
Solo Leveling Season 2 Will Be Dethroned
JJK Season 3 Has The Potential To Overtake Solo Leveling
The second season of Solo Leveling shattered numerous Crunchyroll records, which is proof of how much viewers enjoyed watching it. While the season was certainly impressive, it will likely be overtaken by Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3. The latter has a much larger fan base; after all, the JJK manga has sold more than 100 million copies in just a few years. Considering how many people enjoy the manga, it's quite possible that Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 will overtake Solo Leveling.
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.
If it happens, then A-1 Pictures will need to respond in a strong fashion. The studio has produced two phenomenal seasons, so fans' expectations of the third season are incredibly high. They are aware of the studio's capability, which is why they won't accept a mediocre adaptation. Presently, A-1 Pictures has not shared any news regarding the third season of the anime, and it's possibly down to the studio being busy with other projects. There have been rumors of the Solo Leveling director working on another project, which is why the studio is holding off on the production.
Others suggest that the third season will release sometime in 2028, which is still two years away. However, A-1 Pictures would be unwise to release the third season after such a long time. The anime's popularity is at an all-time high, and fans are eagerly waiting for the new season. So making them wait for such a long time could prove to be counterintuitive and hurt Solo Leveling's fame. Hopefully, a decision is reached soon so that fans can enjoy watching Sung Jinwoo in action once again.
