As chaos engulfs the city and curses run rampant, the stage is set for the brutal “Culling Game,” threatening all of Japan as darkness spreads.
Jujutsu Kaisen: Execution is a 2025 compilation film directed by Shota Goshozono and written by Gege Akutami and Hiroshi Seko. Rather than a standalone storyline, the movie combines a cinematic retelling of the series’ major “Shibuya Incident” arc with the premiere of the first two episodes of Season 3’s “Culling Game” arc. The Shibuya arc - long regarded as one of the darkest, most pivotal chapters in the series — sees a catastrophic curse event descend on Tokyo, forcing sorcerers to fight for survival. After the city-wide catastrophe, the “Culling Game” begins: a sinister plan that turns multiple colonies across Japan into battle zones infested with curses, escalating the scale and stakes drastically. The film was first released in Japan on November 7, 2025, and is scheduled for international theatrical release on December 5, 2025, with early fan-event showings from December 3.This hybrid format, with part recap, part new content, makes Execution a bridge between seasons, priming viewers for the next major arc while offering a visually immersive revisit to earlier events. The film’s ambition lies not just in spectacle, but in preparing audiences emotionally and narratively for what’s next.A must-watch for longtime fans and newcomers alike, Execution offers a thrilling first look at the dark, high-stakes Culling Game that’s about to unfold.
