Jujutsu Kaisen: where to start the manga after season 3: culling game part 1
Covers the 12-episode Culling Game Part 1 season from 2026. It does not cover the announced Culling Game Part 2 or the earlier compilation film.
Chapter 181
After Jujutsu Kaisen season 3, Culling Game Part 1, start at the beginning of chapter 181 in volume 21. The finale covers part of that chapter, so rereading it preserves the transition.

Available editions and access vary by country. Check the publisher listing before buying.
Can’t wait for Season 4: Culling Game Part 2?
If you can’t wait for Culling Game Part 2, begin chapter 181 in volume 21. The initial overlap keeps the manga transition intact before you reach material beyond the aired season.
The official site released a season 4, Culling Game Part 2, teaser on June 19, 2026. That notice does not specify a premiere date.
Announcement checked 2026-10-02. Read the official announcement. Release plans can change; this chapter bookmark follows the season named above.
What overlaps or changes?
Chapter 181 is deliberately an overlapping bookmark. A recommendation to jump straight to 182 can miss the unadapted portion of 181. Read the whole chapter before moving on.
Should you start from chapter 1?
A full restart is optional after the three TV seasons. Use the original Jujutsu Kaisen manga for this continuation; volume 0 and the separately titled Modulo series are not the next chapter of this season.
