MAPPA just used its 15th anniversary livestream to slap fans in the face with the first teaser for Jujutsu Kaisen Season 4 — officially titled Culling Game Arc Part 2 — and the whales are already refreshing their wallets for the inevitable merch drop. The brief PV teases the arc's brutal fights, zeroing in on the hyped Kinji Hakari versus Hajime Kashimo clash with all the domain expansion chaos that manga readers have been begging to see animated. Kenjaku's scheming continues while Yuki Tsukumo and Choso gear up to drag him into the ring, and the production values scream that this isn't some rushed cash grab.

Takeru Satoh steps up as director (after assisting on Season 3) under chief director Shouta Goshozono, and the studio confirmed the season is deep in production with more details promised at JUJU FES 2026 on August 29-30. Season 3 wrapped only a few months ago, yet the quality of this early teaser suggests MAPPA isn't dragging its feet on the back half of the Culling Game. No release window dropped yet, which means the real waiting game just started.

X exploded the second the official account posted the PV, with fans losing it over the Hakari domain shots and calling the animation peak MAPPA again. The trailer racked up millions of views fast, proving the Culling Game hunger never cooled. Next stop is that August event — until then, keep the banners spinning and the gacha pulls ready.
