The wait for Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 just got a lot more dangerous. Why? Because the most anticipated showdown in modern anime — Gojo vs Sukuna is finally on its way. That's right. The world's strongest sorcerer is about to square off against the King of Curses, and if you're not already losing sleep thinking about it, you clearly haven't been paying attention.bAs MAPPA gears up to adapt the Culling Game arc in 2026, fans everywhere are bracing for the fight that will redefine shounen anime battles forever.And while we wait (and spiral), let's break down what we know, what to expect, and why this clash is more than just fists and fancy domains.
What makes the
Gojo
vs
Sukuna
fight in
Jujutsu Kaisen
so special

Let's be clear: Gojo and Sukuna aren't just strong. They're broken. Gojo has the Six Eyes, Limitless cursed technique, and Infinity itself. Meanwhile, Sukuna — now fully unleashed — isn't just riding on his original curse power but also let's just say, he's playing with borrowed tools that fans of a certain shadow user will recognise (no spoilers, anime-only fam!). This isn't your usual protagonist-vs-villain dynamic.
These two are god-tier beings with opposite ideologies: Gojo fights to protect the weak. Sukuna? He just wants to watch the world burn — elegantly.

MAPPA has confirmed that Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 will cover the Culling Game arc, starting from manga chapter 159. This arc brings in new cursed users, new rules, new locations — and sets the perfect stage for Gojo to break free and finally clash with Sukuna. According to the manga timeline (don't worry, no major spoilers here), this battle is a turning point.
It's poetic, brutal, and emotionally catastrophic — aka perfect for MAPPA's emotionally draining animation style.

If you thought Gojo's fights in Season 2 looked crisp, imagine what MAPPA will do when they have:
Two of the strongest domain expansions ever animated
Hand-to-hand combat at lightning speed
Literal reality-breaking attacks
A fanbase foaming at the mouth for every frame
This won't just be a fight — it'll be an event. Expect:
Flashbacks
Monologues
Screen-shaking sakuga
Maybe even a few tears (yours, not Gojo's)
What Jujutsu Kaisen anime-only fans should brace for

Let's put it this way: if Shibuya broke your heart, this might stomp on it.
This arc is less about good vs evil and more about what it means to carry a legacy, especially when you're not allowed to lose. Without giving anything away, just know:
There are consequences
There are sacrifices
And there are moments that change everything
So yes, the Gojo vs Sukuna fight is happening in Season 3 — but it's not the only thing that'll leave you gasping. This season is a full-blown, high-stakes emotional storm.
When is Jujutsu Kaisen season 3 releasing?

Crunchyroll confirmed that Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 is in production, but due to MAPPA's overloaded schedule, the official release is expected in spring or summer 2026.
So start emotionally preparing now — you're going to need the buffer. Until then? Rewatch Season 2. Revisit Gojo's backstory. Whisper 'Domain Expansion' into the void and hope for the best.
Final thoughts: Who's winning in Jujutsu Kaisen?

Let's be honest — we all have our biases. Gojo fans are unhinged (with love). Sukuna fans are terrifyingly loyal. And manga readers are currently sitting in dark corners whispering, 'They're not ready.' But no matter who walks away, this fight is going to define the entire anime landscape of 2026.So here's what to expect: unprecedented animation quality, pain, the anime moment of the decade, pain again and Gojo in sunglasses, hopefully.
