A new promotional video has been released for the upcoming Jujutsu Kaisen: Execution compilation film, offering fans a fresh look at the movie which combines highlights from Season 2’s “Shibuya Incident Arc” and the first two episodes of the highly anticipated Season 3. The film is set to premiere in Japanese theaters on November 7, 2025, and will see international releases shortly thereafter.
The newly released trailer showcases a blend of intense action from the “Shibuya Incident” and an early glimpse into the “Culling Game” arc, promising a thrilling cinematic experience for fans of the dark fantasy series.
What is Jujutsu Kaisen: Execution?
Jujutsu Kaisen: Execution, also known in Japan as Jujutsu Kaisen: The Movie – Shibuya Incident Special Edition x Culling Game Advance Screening, is a compilation film designed to bridge the gap between the second and third seasons of the acclaimed anime. The movie aims to provide a unique theatrical experience by presenting the “Shibuya Incident,” considered one of the most pivotal and action-packed arcs in the series, alongside a sneak peek at the initial events of the “Culling Game” arc. This dual structure is intended to transform the connected episodes into a fresh cinematic narrative.
Covering the Shibuya Incident Arc
The “Shibuya Incident Arc” depicts a catastrophic event where a veil descends over Shibuya, trapping countless civilians and drawing in Satoru Gojo, the strongest Jujutsu Sorcerer. This arc is known for its intense battles and significant plot developments, as Yuji Itadori and other sorcerers confront powerful curse users and spirits scheming to seal Gojo away.
Previewing The Culling Game Arc
Following the “Shibuya Incident,” the film transitions into the early stages of the “Culling Game” arc, providing an advance screening of the first two episodes of Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3. This arc introduces a deadly new phase where ten colonies across Japan are transformed into cursed domains, orchestrated by the wicked sorcerer Noritoshi Kamo. A key plot point highlighted in the trailer is the assignment of Special Grade sorcerer Yuta Okkotsu to execute Yuji Itadori, setting up a desperate confrontation between Gojo’s two beloved students.
Release Dates and International Screenings
The Jujutsu Kaisen: Execution film will first open in Japan on November 7, 2025, with screenings available in both standard and IMAX formats.

The Road to Season 3
