Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 Episode 7 Release Date Time Where To Watch

There is no doubt that Thursdays have become the highlight of the week for anime fans in the Winter 2026 season, and the tension is reaching an all-time high. Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 Episode 7 is officially shifting gears as the series enters the high-stakes second half of its first cour. Titled "Tokyo Colony No. 1," this pivotal installment is scheduled to premiere on Thursday, February 12, 2026. Following its initial broadcast in Japan on the MBS and TBS networks at 11:56 PM JST, the episode will be available to international audiences exclusively on Crunchyroll. As the "Recruitment" arc concludes, Yuji Itadori and his allies are being drawn deeper into Kenjaku’s chaotic plot, marking the true beginning of the deadly Culling Game battle royale.

For global fans eager to jump into the action, Crunchyroll is maintaining a consistent simulcast schedule, including Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 Episode 7. Viewers in North America can expect the episode to drop in the morning, specifically at 9:00 AM Pacific Time (PT) and 12:00 PM Eastern Time (ET). Fans across the pond in the United Kingdom can tune in at approximately 4:30 PM GMT. In India, fans can start tuning in on Crunchyroll and Netflix around 10:30 PM IST. 

While the subtitled release will be available immediately in English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, and German. The standard runtime is expected to be around 23 to 24 minutes, consistent with the rest of the season. The narrative stakes for Episode 7 are incredibly high as the team moves from planning to execution. 

The Culling Game Rules and Tokyo Colony No. 1

With the recruitment of Kinji Hakari secured, the focus shifts to infiltrating the barrier of Tokyo Colony No. 1. Yuji and Megumi Fushiguro have a critical objective: they must locate Hiromi Higuruma, a player possessing 100 points. They need to convince him to use those points to add a new rule that will allow Tsumiki Fushiguro to escape the game. However, previews suggest immediate chaos awaits them. 

The "Tokyo Colony" arc is renowned for high-octane action, and the group is expected to be separated upon entering the barrier, forcing them into isolated survival battles against lethal new sorcerers. Among the threats lurking in the colony is a formidable new antagonist teased at the end of the previous episode, as reported by CBR.

Kishimo was revealed to be the sorcerer responsible for adding Rule #9 to the game, which allows players to access detailed information about others, including their names, points, and current locations. This addition drastically changes the tactical landscape, removing the element of surprise and turning the colony into a hunting ground.

This escalation follows the intense events of Episode 6, titled "Cog," which featured one of the season's most unique battles. Megumi and Panda faced off against Kirara Hoshi to reach Hakari. It was a chaotic mix of high-stakes combat and comedy, with Panda providing much-needed relief as they tried to decipher the star-based puzzle. 

Under the direction of  MAPPA studio, the season is visually stunning and expected to run for two consecutive cours, totaling approximately 24 to 26 episodes. As the anime transitions from the setup phase to the brutal reality of the Culling Game, fans should brace for a major narrative shift filled with complex tactical warfare and dangerous ancient sorcerers.
