MLBB brings back optimized Jujutsu Kaisen skins for third run

Mobile Legends: Bang Bang brought the four Jujutsu Kaisen collaboration skins back on August 7, 2026, with optimized skill effects that track the anime more closely. The limited draw event again lets players chase Yin as Yuji Itadori, Julian as Megumi Fushiguro, Melissa as Nobara Kugisaki and Xavier as Satoru Gojo through crests and diamonds.

This marks the third time the set has appeared since its 2023 debut. The pattern is now clear: Moonton refreshes a proven anime hit, tightens the visuals, and opens another short window for diamond spend.

Each rerun keeps the same four mappings, the same crest exchange target, and the same short calendar slot. What changes is the polish on the skill effects and the fresh wave of FOMO for anyone who skipped the earlier windows.

Four heroes channel the main Jujutsu Kaisen cast again

The skins pair established MLBB heroes with the core JJK roster. Each one keeps the original character mapping first used three years ago.

Yin’s ultimate now leans harder into Sukuna’s shrine domain with clearer slashes. Julian’s enhanced skills map to Megumi’s shikigami animals. Melissa’s needle-and-doll kit lines up cleanly with Nobara’s technique. Xavier’s transcendence state carries smoother Gojo-style visuals after the latest pass.

The role fits are not cosmetic labels. Fighter players get a close-combat Yuji fantasy on Yin. Combo-oriented players get Megumi’s flexible kit on Julian. Marksman mains get needle links that echo Nobara. Mage players get long-range power dressed as Gojo.

All four remain exclusive to the collab draw. They do not appear in the regular skin shop.

That exclusivity is the point of the window. Once the event closes, the only route back is the next resale, whenever Moonton schedules it.

A third limited window after 2023 and 2024

The collaboration first launched on February 18, 2023 and ran until March 30 that year. A full resale followed from June 8 to July 13, 2024. The 2026 version opened August 7 and is slated to last roughly 30 days, with most trackers pointing to an early-to-mid September close.

1. February 18, 2023, Original MLBB × Jujutsu Kaisen event begins with the four skins.
2. June 8, 2024, First full resale window opens.
3. August 7, 2026, Second resale starts, now with optimized skill visuals described as more faithful to the series.

Official channels confirmed the return and the visual upgrades in late July. The decision to rerun rather than retire the set shows how well the original performed. Anime crossovers remain one of MLBB’s steadiest ways to pull both long-time players and casual fans back into the events tab.

The gaps between runs also matter. Roughly a year separated the debut from the first resale. Another two years passed before this second resale. That spacing keeps the set rare enough to feel special without letting it disappear from player memory.

Each return also resets the same pressure: a short clock, a crest grind, and a clear end date. Players who waited out 2023 and 2024 now face the same choice again under a tighter visual package.

How the crest draw actually works this time

Direct skin drops sit at a 0.02 percent drop rate listed for each skin. Almost nobody relies on luck alone. The reliable path is collecting 1,200 Jujutsu School Crests and exchanging them in the event shop.

Typical progress lands near around 120 draws to reach 1,200 crests, though duplicates and milestone rewards shift the exact number. Daily first single draws cost 25 diamonds after the 50 percent discount. Ten-draw packs run 450 diamonds with a further 10 percent event cut when paid fully in diamonds.

• 20 total draws: 1 extra token
• 130 total draws: 10 tokens
• 160 total draws: 100 crests
• 190 total draws: 180 crests

Two Premium Supply phases sit inside the window. Premium Supply phases on August 14 and 21 each require a 250-diamond recharge plus spend tasks and return roughly 29 free draw tokens. Completing both can add up to 58 extra draws and pull the effective diamond cost for one skin into the 1,650-2,500 range when daily discounts and free resources are stacked carefully. Without that planning the same skin can push past 4,000-5,000 diamonds.

Unused crests convert to battle points at event end. Tokens convert at a lower rate. The system rewards patience more than pure top-ups on day one.

Milestone crests at 160 and 190 draws are the quiet accelerators. Players who stop short of those thresholds leave free progress on the table. Players who plan around them shave real cost off the 1,200-crest target.

What the visual upgrades actually change

Moonton did not release brand-new skins. It spent the interval cleaning skill effects, idle poses and sound so the existing models feel closer to the anime source. Xavier’s transcendence state reads smoother. Yin’s domain expansion hits harder on screen. Julian’s animal summons land with clearer feedback. Melissa’s nail links keep their satisfying audio punch.

Players who already own the original versions still see the improvements when they equip the skins. New buyers get the polished package on first pull. That small refresh is enough to justify another limited window for collectors who skipped earlier runs or who main the four heroes.

Gojo remains the loudest demand signal. Xavier’s long-range kit plus Gojo’s popularity make that skin the usual first target. Fighter mains lean toward Yin-Yuji. Marksman players pick up Melissa-Nobara when they want the thematic match. Julian-Megumi sits as the combo-oriented middle choice.

The upgrade pass also protects the value of older pulls. Owners from 2023 or 2024 are not left with a dated version while newcomers get something better. Everyone equips the same improved effects, which keeps the set coherent across the player base.

Diamond spend and the gift market keep the pressure on

The same crest math that defined 2023 and 2024 is back. Players who want one guaranteed skin still need a multi-week plan around daily discounts and the two Premium Supply blocks. Those chasing the full set face four times the draws and a diamond bill that routinely climbs into five figures if luck stays average.

On X and local marketplaces the secondary economy is already active. Gift-skin sellers advertise fixed prices that drop as the event ages, often landing between roughly 450,000 and 650,000 Indonesian rupiah per skin depending on phase and delivery timing. Gojo slots move fastest. Accounts with the full set or with specific hero ownership trade at premiums. The limited window creates the scarcity that keeps both official diamond sales and the informal gift trade busy.

• Single-skin gifts: priced by phase, with Gojo moving first
• Full-set accounts: trade at a premium over four separate gifts
• Hero-owned accounts: carry extra value when the buyer already mains that roster slot

That secondary layer is part of the historical pattern. Each resale restarts FOMO for players who missed prior runs, while giving top-up services and gift accounts a fresh product cycle. Moonton does not need new IP art every time. It only needs the original four skins, a visual polish pass, and another calendar slot.

Price drift across the window is predictable. Early gifts cost more while demand is sharp. Later gifts soften as more players finish their own crest grinds and as the close date nears. Buyers who can wait often pay less. Buyers who want the skin on day one pay for speed.

Collectors and mains chase different targets

Demand inside the draw is not even across the four skins. Gojo on Xavier is the loudest signal because the character’s popularity and the mage’s long-range kit reinforce each other. Many players treat that pull as the default first goal.

Fighter mains often stop at Yin as Yuji once the crest count allows a single exchange. Marksman players do the same with Melissa as Nobara when the needle links match how they already play. Julian as Megumi fills the middle lane for combo players who want the shikigami fantasy without chasing the full set.

Collectors behave differently. They plan for four exchanges, accept the five-figure diamond risk when luck is average, and treat the event as a multi-week project rather than a one-skin shop. The crest shop supports both styles. One skin is reachable inside one or two Premium Supply cycles. The full set demands the whole window and careful stacking of daily discounts, milestone crests, and free tokens.

That split keeps the event busy from open to close. Single-skin buyers cycle through early. Full-set collectors keep drawing into the final days. The gift market absorbs both groups when someone would rather pay rupiah than grind crests.

Why the same four skins keep returning

Three runs since 2023 show a simple loop. A proven anime roster sells. A polish pass on skill effects and sound refreshes the product without new art. A short limited window restarts scarcity and diamond spend.

Anime crossovers already rank among MLBB’s steadiest tools for pulling long-time players and casual fans back into the events tab. Rerunning this set rather than retiring it confirms the original performance was strong enough to carry multiple cycles. Official channels flagged the return and the visual upgrades in late July, giving players time to budget before August 7.

The formula leaves little mystery. Crests still target 1,200 for a guaranteed skin. Direct drops still sit at the listed 0.02 percent rate. Daily discounted singles and ten-draw packs still form the backbone of efficient progress. Premium Supply still lands twice inside the window and still trades a 250-diamond recharge plus tasks for roughly 29 tokens each.

For Moonton the upside is clear. The IP art is already paid for. The hero mappings are already understood. Each resale only needs a calendar slot, a polish pass, and the same draw-and-crest loop. For players the choice is equally clear: plan the discounts and free tokens, buy a gift, or wait for a future window that may look the same again.

The window is open but the math stays the same

As of mid-August the event is live. Daily discounted draws continue, the first Premium Supply phase has opened, and the crest counters keep climbing for anyone who started early. Players who treat the set as a long-term collection piece can stretch the 30-day period. Those who want a single main-hero skin can finish inside one or two Premium Supply cycles with careful top-ups.

The third appearance of the Jujutsu Kaisen skins confirms the formula works. A popular 2023 collab becomes an August staple, the visuals get a free upgrade, and the draw-and-crest loop converts anime fandom into diamonds once again. The next time these four return, the only real surprise will be whether Moonton adds a fifth skin or simply refreshes the effects one more time.

Until the early-to-mid September close, the practical advice is unchanged. Stack the daily 25-diamond singles. Hit both Premium Supply phases on August 14 and 21. Aim past the 160 and 190 draw milestones for the extra crests. Exchange at 1,200. Everything else is timing and taste.
