The season is adapting the manga's "Itadori's Extermination", "Perfect Preparation", and "Culling Game" story arcs.[7][2] The plot follows the Jujutsu Sorcerers entering the Culling Game,[8][9] with the main objective of fighting off Kenjaku[10] and freeing Satoru Gojo from the Prison Realm.[11] A compilation film of Shibuya Incident, which also featured the first two episodes of The Culling Game: Part 1, premiered in Japanese theaters on November 7, 2025.[4]
