Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 is shaping up to be a major event for anime fans, and it is not just because the manga material ahead is some of the darkest yet. The series just confirmed its biggest casting move of 2025 with Bleach alum Koji Yusa is stepping into the role of Naoya Zenin. For a character as electrifying, and infuriating, as Naoya, the choice is already sparking hype.

While Naoya’s introduction was not exactly subtle in Season 2, but his real rise begins in the upcoming storyline. Fans familiar with his repulsive arrogance and lightning-fast combat, like @animejujutsu on X, know that this casting has to hit a very specific tone of cold charm mixed with venom. Yusa’s resume proves he is more than ready to deliver exactly that.
