The highly anticipated release of Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 is approaching, but fans in the United States may feel a sense of frustration regarding the staggered international release dates. According to Crunchyroll, episodes of the new season will debut alongside an upcoming compilation film titled Jujutsu Kaisen: Execution. This film is set to screen in the United Kingdom on November 14, just a week after its premiere in Japan but well ahead of the U.S. release on December 5.
The compilation film, which has a significantly shorter title than its Japanese counterpart, will serve a dual purpose. It will recap the Shibuya Incident from the previous season while also introducing two episodes from the third season. This means that audiences in the UK will experience the exciting Culling Game arc before their American counterparts, prompting some U.S. fans to consider traveling to catch the film early.
The release schedule for Jujutsu Kaisen: Execution also includes screenings in Mexico on November 20, Germany on November 25, and Australia on December 4. The film’s format follows a trend seen in recent anime compilation films, blending a recap with fresh content aimed at generating excitement for the upcoming season.
The Culling Game arc promises to deliver intense battles as various sorcerers are drawn into a conflict against their will. Central to this arc is a showdown between series protagonist Yuji and his would-be executioner, Yuta. This narrative shift is expected to captivate fans, aligning with the current wave of popular anime releases.
The next few months are shaping up to be particularly thrilling for anime enthusiasts. Following the success of Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle, which continues to break box office records, the Chainsaw Man movie is slated for release this month. Additionally, the winter lineup for 2026 includes Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End Season 2, Fire Force Season 3, and the return of Jujutsu Kaisen.
As excitement builds, fans are encouraged to keep an eye on upcoming releases. For those eager to learn more, a comprehensive guide to new anime in 2025 and 2026 is available, ensuring that viewers stay informed about the latest developments in the anime landscape.
