Jujutsu Kaisen Season 4: The Culling Game Part 2 Super Teaser Puts Sukuna Front and Center

Jujutsu Kaisen Season 4: The Culling Game Part 2 Super Teaser Puts Sukuna Front and Center

Jujutsu Kaisen Season 4 is officially moving forward, and its first "super teaser visual" put the King of Curses front and center. Revealed on August 29, 2026 during the "Juju Fes 2026 -5th anniversary-" event at K Arena Yokohama, the artwork confirms that the next chapter of the anime will adapt the back half of the Culling Game arc — known in Japanese as Shimetsu Kaiyū Kōhen.

The reveal caps a busy stretch for the franchise as it closes out its fifth anniversary, and it hands collectors a clear signal: Sukuna is about to dominate the merchandise cycle all over again.

A Super Teaser Built Around Sukuna

The new key visual is deliberately ominous. Ryomen Sukuna is shown rising out of dark, murky water, his sharp gaze locked on the viewer as one hand reaches forward. The teaser copy leans into his menace with a single line of dialogue: Do you remember? I told you that you'd get to see something interesting.

It is a pointed callback for manga readers, and a strong hint that Season 4 intends to make Sukuna — not the young sorcerers chasing him — the emotional center of its marketing. That framing matters for anyone who collects, because "villain-forward" teasers historically drive the earliest and most sought-after figures.

What "Culling Game Part 2" Covers

Season 3, which aired in Winter 2026, adapted the first half of the Culling Game: the deadly, points-based competition among sorcerers orchestrated by Kenjaku. Season 4 picks up the second half. Based on the source reporting, the story follows Hakari and Panda as they push into Tokyo's No. 2 colony to track down Kashimo, the player holding 100 points.

The arc originates from Gege Akutami's manga, which concluded in September 2024 after roughly six and a half years of serialization. With the ending now known, Season 4 is adapting some of the story's most consequential confrontations — the kind of moments that tend to anchor premium figure lines and prize campaigns.

The Staff Carrying Season 4

Production remains at studio MAPPA. Shota Goshozono returns as chief director, with Takeru Sato — an assistant director on Season 3 — stepping up to direct. Reporting also lists Hiroshi Seko on series composition and Yosuke Yajima on character design, keeping much of the creative team intact. Importantly, no premiere date has been announced yet; the super teaser confirms the season is in production, but a broadcast window is still unconfirmed.

Why This Matters for Collectors

Every major Jujutsu Kaisen anime beat reshapes what is in demand. A Sukuna-led teaser tends to spike interest in Sukuna and Yuji figures first, followed by the arc's supporting cast as the season nears air. If history repeats, expect a wave of scale figures, prize (Ichiban Kuji) lots, and capsule toys timed to the season's rollout — and expect the earliest Sukuna pieces to sell through quickly.

If you're building a Jujutsu Kaisen shelf ahead of Season 4, this is a good moment to fill gaps in your core cast. Browse Jujutsu Kaisen figures and collectibles at Akibato — we ship Japanese anime collectibles worldwide, so you can lock in Sukuna, Yuji, and the rest before the next demand spike.
