The third season of Jujutsu Kaisen is among the most anticipated, but there's one detail many fans may have overlooked. Those who only watch the anime already have an idea of what to expect: the season will cover the "Itadori Extermination" arc before delving into the complex "Slaughter Game."

However, the real impact lies in the details. This new season will bring the story to a crucial point, connecting elements many fans never even imagined. The second season finale introduced the "Itadori Extermination" arc, highlighting Yuta Okkotsu, the protagonist of Jujutsu Kaisen 0 , tasked with eliminating Itadori Yuji after Sukuna loses control, causing devastating chaos in the "Shibuya Incident" arc. This narrative decision by Gege Akutami is one of the most significant and underrated in the franchise, with profound implications.

Interestingly, Jujutsu Kaisen 0 isn't just a prequel, it's the foundation for everything. Originally published as "Tokyo Metropolitan Curse Technical School," it was only renamed after the success of Jujutsu Kaisen . The story of Yuta Okkotsu, haunted by his childhood friend and fiancée, Rika, captivated audiences and paved the way for the Jujutsu universe.

Characters like Gojo, Geto, and Maki were already solid pillars of this original narrative. However, Yuta has remained absent from the main anime until now. With his return at the end of the second season, the anime begins to explore the confrontation between two protagonists.

When Yuji Itadori as the protagonist, many Yuta fans initially resisted the change. The third season, however, brings the two characters together in a decisive way. Yuta, with his mission to exterminate Yuji, assumes a vital role in the plot, cementing his position as a central figure.

This conflict between Yuta and Yuji not only strengthens the narrative but also reflects the evolution of Gege Akutami's messages throughout the series. Their interaction reveals contrasting themes and enriches Yuji's development. Their journey promises to redefine the saga , culminating in an epic conclusion.
