The first teaser for Jujutsu Kaisen: Execution offers a glimpse into Yuji and Yuta’s long-awaited face-off, bridging the Shibuya Incident and Culling Game arc.
Yuji Itadori and the jujutsu sorcerers are back. The teaser for Jujutsu Kaisen: Execution dropped on Friday, October 17th, and gives fans a small glimpse of what viewers can expect in Season 3 - The Culling Game part 1.
Jujutsu Kaisen: Execution teaser sets up Season 3
Before the new season airs, fans will get Jujutsu Kaisen: Execution, a theater recap of the Shibuya Incident that bridges the gap between both arcs. The short teaser opens with Yuji in despair after the Shibuya Incident. For a moment, he believes he killed many during the chaos. Then, in a fast cut, he faces off against Yuta Okkotsu - the series’ previous protagonist.
In the short clip, both Yuta and Yuji do not hold back. The teaser also features Naoya Zen’in’s clash with Choso, as well as quick flashes of Megumi Fushiguro, Yuki Tsukumo, and Maki Zen’in. It’s brief, but it has already won over the fandom.
According to People, the film will release in the US on December 5 and will include the first few episodes of Season 3. It’s a clever setup - reliving the Shibuya arc right before the Culling Game arc begins.
What to expect from Jujutsu Kaisen: Execution
According to GKID Films, which shared the trailer, the synopsis is as follows. A mysterious veil falls over Tokyo’s Shibuya district during the Halloween rush, trapping hundreds inside as Satoru Gojo faces a deadly ambush by curse users.
Yuji Itadori and his classmates join the chaos in what becomes the devastating Shibuya Incident. In its aftermath, ten colonies across Japan turn into cursed zones under Noritoshi Kamo’s plan, sparking the deadly Culling Game.
Tasked with executing Yuji, Yuta Okkotsu is drawn into a fateful clash with his former ally. Jujutsu Kaisen: Execution brings this confrontation to theaters, bridging the Shibuya arc and the start of Season 3.
