The first footage from Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 has officially arrived, revealing events following the chaotic Shibuya arc. After the strongest sorcerer, Gojo Satoru, was sealed in the Prison Realm, the balance of power has shifted heavily toward the villains. With Suguru Geto revealed to be Kenjaku, fans’ concerns about Gojo’s fate have reached a fever pitch.
The new teaser seems to confirm Gojo’s role in the upcoming season, but his prospects look grim.
Here are the key highlights from the Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 trailer:
1. Maki’s Growth
Maki Zenin is one of the characters emphasized in the trailer. Her appearance has changed significantly: she is more muscular, sports shorter hair, and bears burn scars from an attack by Jogo. The trailer also hints at a heartbreaking truth: Maki gained this strength after a tragedy.
She appears alongside her twin sister Mai Zenin, suggesting something unfortunate has happened to Mai. The new version of Maki is also seen confronting multiple enemies, hinting at internal conflicts within the sorcerer hierarchy.
2. The Clash Between Choso and Naoya Zenin
The trailer highlights two major battles, including the fight between Choso and Naoya Zenin. It confirms that Choso is protecting Yuji from Naoya, a new character soon to be introduced. Naoya Zenin and Yuta Okkotsu appear to be working together to hunt Yuji.
The trailer also showcases Choso’s determination as he faces Naoya after Yuji is injured. This moment not only shows Choso’s protective instincts for his brother but also establishes Naoya, from the renowned Zenin clan, as a formidable opponent who pushes Choso to his limits.
3. Yuji Versus Yuta
The most notable highlight so far in the Season 3 trailer is the battle between Yuji Itadori and Yuta Okkotsu. This fight will be a major early event in the new season, fitting since it takes place right after the Shibuya incident, when Yuta decides to kill Yuji to fulfill a vow to his superiors.
The trailer emphasizes that Yuji is being blamed for Sukuna’s actions during the Shibuya arc and is now living in exile. However, Yuji refuses to back down in his fight against Yuta, declaring he won’t allow Sukuna to conspire against Megumi Fushiguro. This confrontation promises to be intense, with Yuji’s life on the line. It will be exciting to see how these two key characters navigate this dire situation.
4. The Mysterious Absence of Gojo
The nearly two-minute trailer for Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 features many important characters, but notably, Gojo does not appear at all. Given his significance, Gojo’s complete absence in the teaser suggests fans won’t see the beloved sorcerer this season. The only mention of him comes indirectly through Yuta Okkotsu’s dialogue, without any clear reference to Gojo’s whereabouts. In fact, the sorcerers shown seem unconcerned about rescuing him at this point.
While this may disappoint fans eagerly awaiting Gojo’s return, his absence opens the door for other characters to shine. The trailer introduces Yuki Tsukumo as the new leader among the sorcerers. This makes sense since she is considered one of the strongest. It looks like the upcoming season will focus on the sorcerers unraveling Kenjaku’s plans, while rescuing Gojo will be put on hold.
