Jujutsu Kaisen is no stranger to the big screen, and the anime is gearing up for its return to theaters. After all, the team at MAPPA Studios has big plans for Gojo Satoru this year. After the anime's third season, Jujutsu Kaisen will return to theaters with a special movie compiling season two's first half, and a brand-new trailer for the film has gone live courtesy of Anime Japan 2025.

As you can see below, the trailer for Jujutsu Kaisen: Hidden Inventory / Premature Death brings a familiar story to life. Well, that is the case if you have seen the anime's second season. Jujutsu Kaisen brought the popular arc to life in July 2023 following the outstanding success of season one. Jujutsu Kaisen put all eyes on Gojo Satoru as season two began by unpacking his years in high school, and it was there fans learned about his connection to a man known as Geto Suguru.

Jujutsu Kaisen Is Returning To Theaters

Jujutsu Kaisen 0 Marked The Anime's First Foray

Jujutsu Kaisen is eyeing a return to theaters shortly, marking the anime's second step into theaters. The show first toed into the space with Jujutsu Kaisen 0 which released in December 2021. The movie, which is based on Gege Akutami's same manga, acts as a prequel to the events of Jujutsu Kaisen season one. Rather than Yuji Itadori, fans follow a hero named Yuta Okkotsu as he is thrust into the world of jujutsu sorcery, and he is taught by none other than Gojo.

Of course, Jujutsu Kaisen's second film will not be quite as thrilling as the first. After all, the feature is a compilation movie. The film will recap Jujutsu Kaisen season two's first half into movie format, making it easier for audiences to consume. The double-dipping gives MAPPA a chance to profit further from Jujutsu Kaisen season two, but does that bode poorly for season three?

The Future Of Jujutsu Kaisen's Anime Is Bright

The Anime Is Heading Towards Season 3

In the wake of Jujutsu Kaisen season two, MAPPA confirmed the anime has a new season in the works. The show's third season will bring a rather vital arc to life that manga readers know well. The Culling Games are on deck to hit the small screen, but no updates have been given on Jujutsu Kaisen season three since it was first announced in December 2023.

As you can imagine, fans are a little antsy about the lack of updates on the season. Rather than tout season three, MAPPA took time at Anime Japan 2025 to highlight this compilation movie. The film may be fun, but in the end, it doesn't progress the story of Jujutsu Kaisen. The anime's recent silence has netizens speculating Jujutsu Kaisen may not bring season three to life until 2026 at this rate. But if that wait is what it takes to do Akutami's story justice, then it will be time well spent.
