Jujutsu Kaisen Director Excited to Animate a New Character in Season 3

It may take some time before the release of Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3, as Shota Goshozono, the director, shares his excitement for animating a specific character.

The third season of Jujutsu Kaisen will cover the Itadori’s Extermination, Perfect Preparation, and Culling Game storylines. The Shibuya Incident has resulted in severe destruction in Japan, and as sorcerers work to rescue Gojo from the Prison Realm, the higher-ups have their own agendas.

The Culling Game Arc has generated the most excitement among fans, but there is another arc that will showcase a particular character. In the Perfect Preparation Arc, Maki Zenin manages to survive Jogo’s attack during the Shibuya Incident, resulting in a dramatic transformation in her appearance.

Maki’s upgraded character design debuts in Chapter 144, and her fans are enamored with her enhanced appearance and incredible power boost. Yuki Tsukumo reveals that Maki’s survival was solely due to her extraordinary strength granted by the heavenly restriction. Despite attempts with the Reverse Cursed Technique, the scars remain etched onto her body as permanent markings.
