The anime Jujutsu Kaisen: Deadly Migration Part 1 (Jujutsu Kaisen Shimetsu Kaiyū Zenpen) has officially concluded, and right after its finale, studio MAPPA quickly announced the continuation - Jujutsu Kaisen: Deadly Migration Part 2. Interestingly, the sequel will not be a direct continuation of the third season but will instead mark the start of a brand new, fully-fledged fourth season. More details about the upcoming chapter of the show will be revealed in the coming months.
The dark action-packed series follows the battle between sorcerers and curses, and it is based on the hit manga Jujutsu Kaisen by Gege Akutami. The manga began serialization in March 2018 in Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump and concluded in September 2024, spanning 30 volumes. The franchise has seen enormous success, with total circulation - including light novels, the prequel manga Jujutsu Kaisen 0, and digital editions - exceeding 150 million copies worldwide.
The story of Jujutsu Kaisen has since expanded with a follow-up manga titled Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo, again written by Akutami and illustrated by Yuji Iwasaki. This new project continues to build upon the universe’s mythology, exploring deeper layers of the Jujutsu world and introducing fresh characters that challenge old traditions of sorcery and power.
For international fans, the Jujutsu Kaisen franchise continues to be one of the most celebrated titles in modern anime culture. Each adaptation - from manga to anime and films - pushes the boundaries of visual storytelling and emotional depth, combining intense combat sequences with psychological and moral dilemmas that resonate with audiences far beyond Japan. As anticipation builds for the next season, fans can look forward to MAPPA’s signature high-quality animation and Akutami’s intricate storytelling returning in full force.
