Jujutsu Kaisen is one of the most popular anime series of recent times, based on the manga of the same name by Gege Akutami. The first season of the anime adaptation aired from October 2020 to March 2021, and received critical acclaim for its animation, characters and story. The series follows Yuji Itadori, a high school student who becomes the host of a powerful curse called Sukuna after swallowing one of his fingers. He joins a school of jujutsu sorcerers who fight against curses that threaten humanity.
After the thrilling finale of season one, fans are eagerly waiting for the next installment of the anime. Here is everything you need to know about Jujutsu Kaisen 5.
When will Jujutsu Kaisen 5 come out?
As of now, there is no official announcement on the release date of Jujutsu Kaisen 5. However, there are some clues that suggest that the anime will return soon. First of all, the manga series is still ongoing and has enough material for another season. Secondly, the anime studio MAPPA has confirmed that they are working on a Jujutsu Kaisen movie, which will adapt the prequel manga Jujutsu Kaisen 0. The movie is slated to premiere in Japan on December 24, 2021. This means that the anime production is still active and could resume after the movie.
Based on these factors, we can speculate that Jujutsu Kaisen 5 could come out sometime in late 2022 or early 2023. Of course, this is just an estimate and we will have to wait for an official confirmation from the creators.
What will be the plot of Jujutsu Kaisen 5?
Jujutsu Kaisen 5 will likely continue the story from where season one left off. The first season covered the first seven volumes of the manga, which means that season two could adapt the next seven volumes. This would include the following arcs:
- The Kyoto Goodwill Event Arc: This arc focuses on a competition between the Tokyo and Kyoto branches of the jujutsu school, where Yuji reunites with his classmates after faking his death. However, things get complicated when a group of cursed users led by Mahito attacks both schools.
- The Death Painting Arc: This arc introduces a new type of curse called death paintings, which are created from human corpses and cursed wombs. Yuji and his friends encounter three death painting brothers who are after Sukuna’s fingers.
- The Shibuya Incident Arc: This arc is the longest and most intense arc of the manga so far, where a large-scale attack on Shibuya takes place by a coalition of curses and cursed users. Yuji and his allies face off against powerful enemies such as Mahito, Geto and Jogo, while Sukuna also makes a move that changes everything.
Jujutsu Kaisen 5 will likely feature more action, drama and twists as Yuji and his friends try to survive and protect the world from the evil curses.
