News culture It feels like the end of Jujutsu Kaisen: fans have to decide!
Since its initial release in March 2018, Jujutsu Kaisen has experienced a meteoric rise! With more than 24 volumes and an animated adaptation in several seasons, the creator of the work, Gege Akutami, has already decided on the end and it is getting closer and closer!
Warning spoilers:
This article contains several major spoilers surrounding the plot of Jujutsu Kaisen.
Goodbye yes, but not immediately!
To all Jujutsu Kaisen fans: get ready to say goodbye! The successful manga by Gege Akutami, which thrilled readers with emotion, is coming to an end soon. This modern work already had a clear idea of its finale, its creator did not hesitate for a moment about his result and its finale is only a few chapters away. Those who follow the manga today have only one question: how will the story end?
As announced in a note in volume 0 of Jujutsu Kaisen, Gege Akutami had previously decided the outcome of the tragic story of Yuji Itadori alongside Sukuna, the King of Scourges. As the manga reaches an unprecedented climax in the “Battle of Shinjuku” arc – where Sukuna faces off against the Exorcists – fans fear that the story will end too quickly, leaving several plot details hanging at the end. However, the mangaka seems to have planned everything from the beginning and today it remains a mystery how the story will end.
Obviously, fans are wondering which characters can survive until the end of the story. Mangas are known for not skimping on the deaths of characters that are highly appreciated by readers. We are thinking in particular of the recent information during the Japanese Manga Exhibition surrounding the death of Nobara Kugisaki. Even if the manga has to end in a few chapters, of course none of the characters are safe from certain death in the face of Ryomen Sukuna.

An end with great fanfare
Many knew the story of Gege Akutami by following the animated adaptation available on Crunchyroll, which recently concluded one of the work’s most important storylines: the Shibuya drama. The sequel is already in the pipeline and will cover the events of “Murderous Hunt”, but today the manga is much more advanced than the anime and the latest information revealed in the last chapter has left fans in a Dantesque cliffhanger.
Theories arose when readers discovered that the attack of the angel – Hana Kusuru – did not have the expected effect on Ryomen Sukuna. To put an end to the exorcist at all costs, he incapacitates – not necessarily kills – Aoi Todo and the angel Yuji Itadori attacks the Scourge King more determined than ever, starting a more acrobatic exchange of blows. We then learn that Sukuna will be able to use his regeneration abilities again, as he is confident to Yuji that he did not expect him to start his territory expansion for the first time.
The chapter ends while the two characters are in a train station. Gege Akutami ends his pages with the following sentence: “The decisive 1 vs 1 will take place on unknown territory!!“. These latest images have been the gateway to all kinds of theories about the ending of the manga. You will have to wait until August 4 to find out the rest of the next chapter via the Manga Plus application.
