Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 Sets January 8 Premiere as MAPPA Reveals Master Tengen and Links Role to Series Narrator
The casting choice positions Master Tengen as a narrative anchor intended to guide viewers through dense new arcs.
Overview
- Season 3 debuts January 8, 2026, with a planned two-cour run that covers Itadori’s Extermination, Perfect Preparation, and the Culling Game.
- MAPPA unveiled Master Tengen’s character design and confirmed Yoshiko Sakakibara will voice the role after narrating Season 2.
- The production will continue using narration in Season 3, aligning the voiceover with an in-story figure for clarity as the plot expands.
- The bridge film Jujutsu Kaisen: Execution, already in theaters, compiles a Shibuya recap and includes the first two episodes of the new season.
- Coverage notes a potential English-dub complication because the Japanese narrator and Tengen share a voice, while the dub’s narrator is Kirk Thornton, and Gojo’s English actor Kaiji Tang teased a major scene at Anime Pasadena.
