Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 Episode 11 Delay and New Release Time

We've all been on the edges of our seats watching the third season of Jujutsu Kaisen, but fans eagerly anticipating the next chapter of the Culling Game arc have a slight schedule change to digest. Jujutsu Kaisen season 3 episode 11 will experience a one-hour delay for international viewers streaming on Crunchyroll. While the episode will still broadcast exactly as scheduled in Japan, the highly anticipated simulcast is now officially set to premiere later in the day on Thursday, March 19. This means global audiences, from the US, will need to readjust their weekly viewing routines to catch the latest cursed energy clashes.

This shift in timing for Jujutsu Kaisen season 3 episode 11 is tied to the recent United States transition into Daylight Saving Time. Because Japan does not observe these seasonal clock changes, the broadcast gap between the original domestic airing and the international simulcast has naturally widened. The upcoming episode will still air in Japan in its regular 12:00 a.m. JST timeslot on Friday, March 20, across the MBS/TBS nationwide network. 

However, the simulcast will now drop on Crunchyroll an hour later than fans are used to: premiering at 12:30 p.m. Eastern Time, 11:30 a.m. Central Time, 10:30 a.m. Mountain Time, and 9:30 a.m. Pacific Time. For viewers tuning in from India, the exact timing is not yet confirmed and could face similar delays as other international regions. This is not a technical glitch but a standard seasonal adjustment that will continue going forward.

Jujutsu Kaisen S3 Nears the Mid-Season Hiatus

Speaking of what lies ahead, there is more bittersweet news for the community as the first cour rapidly approaches its conclusion. The opening half of the third season is strictly planned for a 12-episode run with more to come out in cour 2. The release of episode 11 signals that the anime is just one week away from its temporary finale. 

After episode 12 wraps up, the series will enter a standard mid-season hiatus before returning later this year with cour 2, with a speculative release window of July or Oct 2026. This split‑cour format means fans will soon have to begin the waiting period for the ultimate resolution of the Culling Game arc.

Even a one-hour delay feels like a meaningful disruption to the weekly hype surrounding what has easily been one of the most gripping adventures of the anime thus far. Yuji Itadori and Megumi Fushiguro's battles after entering the Tokyo No. 1 Colony barriers haven't been easy, but they've shaped these warriors into even stronger sorcerers. 

Their cursed energy and Domain Expansions have been pushed to their absolute limits to defeat powerful, nefarious foes like Hiromi Higuruma and Reggie Star. In the end, that's the kind of sheer exertion that the Culling Game requires, guaranteeing that whenever the JJK episode drops in your time zone, it will be well worth the wait.
