The comeback nobody was emotionally prepared for.

If you know what happens to Naoya…

Before Season 3: Jujutsu Kaisen: Execution Compilation Film

Before jumping into the chaos, the franchise is bridging the gap with a theatrical compilation:

Jujutsu Kaisen: Execution – Shibuya Incident x The Culling Game Begins

  • Re-edits major events from Season 2’s Shibuya Incident

  • Includes Episodes 1 & 2 of Season 3 early, before the TV premiere

The film opened in Japan in both standard theaters and IMAX, making the emotional damage high-resolution and unavoidable.

For international fans:

  • GKIDS will release the film in North America on December 5

  • Both Japanese audio & English dub will be available

What awaits us:
