It could still be a while before Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 airs, as director Shota Goshozono reveals which character he is looking forward to animating.
Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 will adapt Itadori’s Extermination, Perfect Preparation, and the Culling Game arcs. The Shibuya Incident has caused irreplaceable damage in Japan, and while sorcerers struggle to free Gojo from the Prison Realm, the higher-ups have their own plans.
Fans are most excited about the Culling Game Arc, but there is one character who will shine in the Perfect Preparation Arc. Maki Zenin survives Jogo’s attack in the Shibuya Incident, drastically changing her appearance.
Maki’s new character design first appears in Chapter 144, and fans love her new design and insane power-up. Yuki Tsukumo explains that Maki survived only thanks to her superhuman strength from the heavenly restriction. Even Reverse Cursed Technique cannot remove those scars as they are engraved in her body like markings.
