MAPPA’s adaptation has continued raising the bar with each successive arc. Season 1 established the fundamentals through Yuji Itadori and Aoi Todo’s exhilarating teamwork and Satoru Gojo’s casual displays of near-godlike power. Season 2’s Hidden Inventory and Shibuya Incident arcs transformed those abilities into instruments of tragedy. Season 3’s Culling Game arc then unleashed the series’ most tactically complicated and visually audacious battles yet, aided by Shōta Goshozono’s direction and storyboarding.
