Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 Episode 4 Sets New Viewership Peak; Finale is Only Potential Record Breaker

Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3, Episode 4, has established a new high-water mark for the series on Crunchyroll, pulling in more concurrent viewers than any installment before it. The episode, which aired last Thursday, managed to significantly beat the peak concurrent viewership set by Episode 3.

Metrics confirmed by Crunchyroll show that Episode 4 achieved over 1.2 million peak concurrent streams globally during its initial release window. This new season record surpasses Episode 3's previous high of roughly 1.1 million concurrent viewers. The jump is directly tied to the escalating, high-stakes battles currently unfolding within the Culling Game arc.

Industry buzz suggests only the upcoming Season 3 finale has the capacity to top this new benchmark. The finale is positioned as the arc's major climax, promising confrontations that could draw an even larger audience. No other remaining episodes carry the same level of anticipation.

The surge in viewership correlates directly with major plot points, including Yuji’s intense fights and the ever-present threat of Sukuna. Japanese streaming platforms like ABEMA also saw significant spikes, with Episode 4 leading weekly charts domestically. MAPPA’s animation quality for the action sequences reportedly held up, keeping viewers engaged.

Season 3 is currently adapting the Culling Game section from Gege Akutami's manga. Since its October debut, the season has shown consistent growth; Episode 1 opened with 900k peaks, but weekly gains indicate strong word-of-mouth momentum. Crunchyroll is now reporting that total season views have crossed the 15 million hours threshold worldwide.

This ongoing record chase underscores Jujutsu Kaisen's dominant position in the current global anime landscape. All attention is now focused on whether the final episode can push past the number Episode 4 just established.
