With the emotional wreckage of the Shibuya Incident arc still fresh in fans’ minds,Jujutsu Kaisen’sreturn is looming, and the cast is already setting expectations sky-high. At Anime Expo 2025, Junya Enoki, the voice behind Yuji Itadori, teased what is ahead in season 3 with an intense statement that has fans buzzing.
Enoki did not just hype the action, according to the ScreenRant attendees at the Anime Expo 2025Jujutsu Kaisenpanel, he gave a rare insight into how season 3 will redefine both the show’s battles and Yuji’s emotional journey. After season 2 left viewers devastated and characters broken, it sounds like the next arc will not let anyone, on or off screen, catch their breath.
“The battles in this arc are on a whole different level. Seriously, pay close attention.”
“Up until that point, Yuji didn’t really know what he was fighting for. But by the end of Season 2, it became clear why he needed to risk his life—that clarity changed how I performed the role”
The Action Is Going to Hit Harder Than Ever in Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3
The Culling Game Is Coming, and It Is Utterly Brutal
Enoki’s biggest tease came in the form of a simple but loaded warning: “The battles in this arc are on a whole different level.” Given the explosive fights fans have already seen inJujutsu Kaisen, that is saying a lot. If Shibuya felt intense, season 3 may push those limits even further.
The upcoming Culling Game arc is expected to spotlight a brutal tournament-style clash that will test every sorcerer to their breaking point.According to Enoki, viewers should not just expect more explosions and cursed energy, they will need to “pay close attention.” That line hints at a deeper complexity in how the fights unfold, possibly with more strategy, chaos, and irreversible consequences.
The voice actor’s emphasis on the scale and stakes of the battles suggests MAPPA is going all-in on spectacle. But more than that, the “different level” could point to shifts in tone, character motivations, or even power systems. If season 2 was a turning point, season 3 could be an all-out transformation.
Yuji’s Performance Will Reflect a Darker Resolve
Emotional Clarity Turns Yuji Into a Different Kind of Hero
Beyond the visual fireworks, Enoki also offered fans a glimpse into how Yuji Itadori is changing.The end of the Shibuya arc was not just a plot shift, it marked a spiritual one for Yuji. “He didn’t really know what he was fighting for,” Enoki explained, but that confusion is gone now.
This clarity is set to redefine how Yuji speaks, fights, and survives. Enoki noted that his performance has become more focused, more deliberate.That suggests a Yuji who is not just reacting to tragedy anymore, he is living with purpose, even if it means embracing more pain along the way.
If Junya Enoki’s warning is any indication,Jujutsu Kaisenseason 3 will not just continue the story, it will escalate everything.
For longtime fans, this development promises a deeper emotional experience in season 3. Yuji’s transformation will likely mirror the dark, unrelenting tone of the Culling Game arc, making every choice heavier, and every loss more personal. If Junya Enoki’s warning is any indication,Jujutsu Kaisenseason 3 will not just continue the story, it will escalate everything. From the chaos of battle to Yuji’s internal reckoning, this next chapter might just push the series into an entirely new tier of storytelling.
