“Curses never rest… and neither do those who fight them.”

Brace yourself, Jujutsu Kaisen fans — the wait is almost over. The first official trailer for “Jujutsu Kaisen: Execution” has finally dropped, teasing a monstrous cinematic event that fuses the explosive climax of the Shibuya Incident arc with the beginning of the Culling Game. The film hits theaters exclusively on November 14, 2025, and marks the grand prelude to Season 3 of the series.

💀 The Chaos of Shibuya Rises Again

A chilling veil descends over Shibuya on Halloween night — and this time, no one is getting out unscathed. Amid flashing lights and screams, Satoru Gojo, the strongest jujutsu sorcerer alive, steps into the fray, facing off against an alliance of curse users and malevolent spirits bent on sealing him away forever.

The trailer explodes with MAPPA’s signature fluid animation, dark hues, and jaw-dropping choreography. Every frame feels like an escalation — a nightmare reborn from the ashes of Shibuya.

“Even Gojo can’t save everyone,” whispers a haunting voice in the trailer — a chilling nod to the devastation to come.

⚔️ Yuji vs. Yuta – A Battle of Destiny

After the aftermath of Shibuya, Japan becomes a living battlefield. Ten colonies, each overrun by curses, form the blood-soaked arenas of the Culling Game, orchestrated by none other than Kenjaku, the twisted mastermind behind it all.

Caught in the chaos are two of Gojo’s most beloved students: Yuji Itadori and Yuta Okkotsu. When the higher-ups order Yuta to execute Yuji for his “crimes,” former allies turn into tragic enemies. The trailer gives us a glimpse of their emotional confrontation — blades drawn, cursed energy blazing, and hearts heavy.

“If I don’t stop you… who will?” Yuta says, his eyes trembling.

This duel isn’t just about power — it’s about pain, guilt, and the impossible choices that define the sorcerers of Jujutsu Kaisen.

🎥 Directed by Shota Goshozono, Animated by MAPPA
