Jujutsu Kaisen arcs in order
Your ultimate guide to the Jujutsu Kaisen anime viewing order!
Dark fantasy drama Jujutsu Kaisen is one of the most popular anime series of the decade – and happily, a third season is in the works!
Based on the manga series by Gege Akutami, Jujutsu Kaisen follows a teenage boy named Yuji, who joins a school club full of sorcerers. Later story arcs shift the focus onto Yuji’s mentor Gojo, and since the anime series has only adapted about half of the manga's thirty volumes, there's still plenty more material to go.
But like any adaptation of a long-running manga, it can be difficult to keep track of which storylines have already been covered.
Read on to learn every Jujutsu Kaisen arc in order, including updates about the anime's upcoming third season.
What arc is Jujutsu Kaisen currently in?
Jujutsu Kaisen season 3 concluded in December 23, wrapping up the epic Shibuya Incident arc. In the original manga, this storyline covers 53 chapters (83 to 136), spanning seven collected volumes.
