Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 is gearing up to be one of 2026’s most explosive anime releases—and fans better be emotionally prepared. The new season adapts the infamous Culling Game arc, a blood-soaked battle royale that pushes every sorcerer to their limit. If you’ve read the manga, you know what’s coming: death, betrayal, and gut-wrenching twists.
Here are five characters most likely to meet their end in Season 3:
1. Tsumiki Fushiguro
Megumi’s step-sister becomes a tragic pawn when ancient sorcerer Yorozu possesses her body. Her obsession with Sukuna leads to a fatal duel—ending with Megumi, under Sukuna’s control, killing the sister he vowed to protect.
2. Kenjaku
The mastermind behind the Culling Game finally meets his match. After underestimating Takaba, Kenjaku lets his guard down—only to be decapitated by Yuta in a swift, brutal takedown. No monologue. No redemption. Just silence.
3. Ryu Ishigori
A reincarnated warrior with a thirst for battle, Ryu joins forces with Takako Uro to fight Sukuna. But the King of Curses doesn’t play fair. Ryu dies off-panel in the manga, but expect a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it showdown on screen.
4. Naoya Zenin
Back from the dead as a grotesque cursed spirit, Naoya targets Maki once again. But this time, she’s stronger. With help from Naritoshi, Maki unleashes her full power and ends Naoya’s twisted legacy for good.
5. Yuki Tsukumo
One of JJK’s most powerful female sorcerers, Yuki sacrifices herself in a desperate attempt to destroy Kenjaku. Her final move nearly succeeds—but Kenjaku survives, badly wounded. Yuki’s death leaves a lasting impact.
Season 3 isn’t just about epic fights—it’s about loss, growth, and the cost of power. These deaths will reshape the Jujutsu Kaisen universe forever.
