After an intense episode that built itself upto the introduction of Hakari, fans are eagerly waiting to watch Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 Episode 6. From covering the emotional fallout of Yaga to Itadori and Megumi trying to find a way to recruit people to help them, a lot has been covered in this instalment, even if there was not a lot of intense action like the Maki episode did. Most of Episode 5 focused on Masamichi Yaga, and it was only during the final few minutes of it that we got to see Kinji Hakari. With that, one thing is for sure: the following episode is going to have stakes escalating at a rapid speed.

According to official sources, it has been confirmed that Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 Episode 6 is going to be released on February 5, 2026. The anime is currently available to watch on Crunchyroll and Netflix, so fans have an option to choose from, as both of these are popular streaming services. As usual, the episode should stream shortly after broadcast on these major platforms, depending on the region.


Recap of Season 3 Episode 5

The first half of Season 3 Episode 5, focused on Masamichi Yaga. Turns out the higher-ups wanted him dead because of the information he carried. His cursed corpse technique was seen as a threat, as there was a real possibility that Yaga could build an army against them. That was not his nature, though; he used his powers to create Panda, and Yaga became a victim of the very system he served.

Gakuganji was the one who eventually killed him, and it was during Yaga's final moments that he finally revealed the secret behind his technique and died. This was confusing for Gakuganji because he could have revealed it way before or just died with keep this a secret. But Yaga's final words were that it was a curse being passed from him to Gakuganji. That is when Panda entered the scene and was so heartbroken to see a lifeless Yaga that he broke down.

The episode took a sharp turn from this event to showing us Itadori and Panda having a fake fight in the fight club arena to catch Hakari's attention. Finally, it ended with Yuji meeting with him, which went wrong in all ways possible, and maybe the next episode will begin with both of them battling.


What to expect from Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 Episode 6? (Speculative)

With Hakari finally introduced in the story, Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 Episode 6 will finally start with the Culling Games. Fans can expect the upcoming episode to cover:

  • With enough allies secured, Yuji Itadori and Megumi Fushiguro are expected to formally enter the game. This means registering as players and stepping into the deadly colony barriers, where sorcerers are forced into combat under strict, lethal rules.
  • Hakari will accept helping them out in Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 Episode 6, only after they prove themselves to be useful. With that, it could show us Yuji and Megumi are expected to enter Tokyo No. 1 Colony, searching for Hiromi Higuruma, a former lawyer who has already accumulated 100 points.
  • One of the most brutal mechanics of the Culling Game is the “Drop”, where players are separated and released from the sky upon entry. Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 Episode 6 will likely show this in action. Yuji is expected to face immediate attacks from opportunistic players like Hanyu and Haba, while Megumi may encounter Remi, a manipulative player who attempts to lure him into an ambush rather than lead him to Higuruma.

Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 Episode 6 is not just another episode; it is the gateway into the Culling Game’s brutality. With alliances tested, new philosophies clashing, and survival becoming the priority, the series is about to enter one of its most dangerous and morally complex arcs yet.
