Jujutsu Kaisen Director Goshozono Is Most Excited To Adapt Maki’s Scenes In Season 3

The Jujutsu Kaisen panel at Anime Expo 2024, which was attended by director Shota Goshozono, Itadori’s VA Junya Enoki and MAPPA producer Keisuke Seshimo, had some interesting insights to offer fans about the upcoming anime adaptation of the series.

The panel confirmed that Goshozono will be returning to helm Jujutsu Kaisen: Culling Game Arc (Season 3) at MAPPA.

Additionally, when the director was asked about the scenes he is most excited to adapt, he mentioned Maki’s scenes from the Culling Game arc.

While there are many scenes he is eager to bring to the anime, Goshozono specifically highlighted Maki’s as his favorite.

Goshozono also expressed excitement for Yuta, Yuji, Maki, and Choso in the upcoming season, as all of them have a significant role to play in the events that occur.

Manga readers understand Goshozono’s enthusiasm for Maki’s scenes. She undergoes significant character development and growth during the Culling Game after the Shibuya Arc.

However, Goshozono’s highlighted scenes might precede the ones in Culling Games, possibly referring to the mini-arc involving the Zen’in Clan.

Jujutsu Kaisen: Culling Game Arc was announced on Dec 28, 2023 after the broadcast of Season 2’s final episode. A new promo video was released along with the announcement, however, however additional details regarding cast, staff and release date are yet to be revealed.
