Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 Episode 5 Release Date
Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 Episode 5 is set to release on Thursday, January 29, 2026. Episode 4 wrapped up “Perfect Preparation” with a lot of emotional weight, so Episode 5 arrives right as the Culling Game arc starts to properly kick into gear.
Different outlets list the episode title as either “Passion” or “Fever,” but they all agree on the same January 29 air date and that this is where the focus shifts more heavily toward the new combat stage and fresh team‑ups.
Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 Release Time
Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 Episode 5 will stream on Crunchyroll on January 29, 2026, at about 9:00 a.m. PT / 12:00 p.m. ET. That’s the now-familiar global simulcast window Season 3 has been using, which lines up nicely for lunchtime viewing in North America and evening anime sessions in India and Europe.
It’s the kind of timing that has fans checking phones during breaks, trying to sneak in at least the first half of the episode before real life pulls them back.
Here’s how that Episode 5 drop roughly converts across key regions, based on the 9 a.m. PT / 12 p.m. ET simulcast:
-
US West Coast (PT): 9:00 a.m., Thu Jan 29
-
US East Coast (ET): 12:00 p.m., Thu Jan 29
-
UK (GMT): 5:00 p.m., Thu Jan 29
-
Central Europe (CET): 6:00 p.m., Thu Jan 29
-
India (IST): around 10:30 p.m., Thu Jan 29
-
Japan / South Korea (JST / KST): around 2:00 a.m., Fri Jan 30
-
Australia (AEDT): around 4:00 a.m., Fri Jan 30
Different news sites sometimes round these by 30 minutes, but they’re all working from the same Crunchyroll simulcast slot, so viewers can treat this window as the practical guide.
Where to Watch Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3?
Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 streams exclusively on Crunchyroll in most regions, including North America, Europe, India, Southeast Asia, Africa, Oceania, the Middle East, and CIS countries.
A paid Crunchyroll Premium plan is required to watch new Season 3 episodes as they premiere, with Fan, Mega, and Ultimate tiers offering different device and offline options. @animetv_jp shared on X that JUJUTSU KAISEN Season 3’s “Culling Game Arc” is scheduled for January 8 and will stream on Crunchyroll.
Some reports mention that the season could arrive on Netflix later, but there is no confirmed global Netflix date yet, so anyone wanting Episode 5 on time should plan around Crunchyroll.
A simple viewing routine that many fans use: queue the show on Crunchyroll, turn on notifications for new episodes, and keep Thursdays mentally labeled as “Culling Game night.”
About Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3
Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 adapts the Culling Game arc, picking up after the Shibuya Incident and throwing Yuji, Megumi, Yuta, and the others into a deadly, rule-heavy battle royale across multiple colonies.
The tone leans even darker than before, but there’s still that sharp mix of emotional gut-punches, sudden humor, and wildly creative cursed techniques that made earlier seasons so addictive.
Season 3 kicked off in early January 2026 with a double-episode premiere and has followed a steady weekly Thursday release pattern since, giving viewers time to replay fights, pick apart rule explanations, and argue over power-scaling between drops.
Episode 5 lands right in that sweet spot: far enough in that the stakes are clear, but early enough that every new match-up still feels like a reveal rather than a foregone conclusion.
