JJK Season 3 Episode Count: How Many Episodes Will the Third Season Have?
The tradition of splitting into two cours continues with Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3, as the first cour is titled “Culling Games Part 1.” Although MAPPA Studios hasn’t shared a word about the total episode count of the new season, they have revealed that JJK season 3 Culling Game Part 1 is listed for 12 episodes. Therefore, Culling Game Part 2 will likely feature the same number, making up a total of 24-26 episodes for JJK Season 3. The third season will follow the blueprint of the previous season, where Itadori’s Extermination Arc and Perfect Preparation Arc are expected to be covered in the first five episodes, similar to the adaptation of the Hidden Inventory Arc. Then, the Culling Games will officially begin, starting with the sixth episode in the first cour.
