Jujutsu Kaisen Manga Finale: Embracing the End of an Era

Jujutsu Kaisen has undeniably established itself as one of the best manga and anime series of our time, featuring iconic characters like Satoru Gojo, who has earned a special place in the hearts of fans as one of their all-time favorites. After six years of captivating storytelling, Jujutsu Kaisen has reached its conclusion, prompting the question: how was the ending? Here’s our take, with possible spoilers ahead.

Fan speculation and expectations far exceeded what transpired in the final episode. Many were hoping for the triumphant return of their beloved character, Satoru Gojo. Instead, we received only a brief vignette featuring him in a memory, sharing his last conversation with Itadori before the battle. Additionally, rumors of a potential sequel with new stories did not come to fruition. The manga shifts focus to the present lives of Nobara, Megumi, and Itadori, allowing us to finally see them together as teenagers navigating adult responsibilities. For those of us following the manga, it’s been three years since their last scene together, making this reunion particularly poignant.

We also witness the return of Mahito, the most despised character in the series, who encounters Sukuna in a sort of underworld where the two villains engage in a thought-provoking conversation. Ultimately, Sukuna decides to reincarnate, opting for a different path than in his previous life, leaving the door ajar for a possible redemption arc.

The manga leaves many questions unanswered and elements open to interpretation, hinting at the potential for a sequel down the line. However, since no such announcement was made in the final chapter, it appears unlikely to happen in the near future.

In summary, Jujutsu Kaisen has solidified its place as one of the premier anime series of the current era. Yet, its final arc (the Sukuna battle) and the concluding chapter fell short of expectations. The finale felt more like a regular chapter than a fitting conclusion to a six-year journey with these beloved characters. For now, all we can do is wait for the anime adaptation and see how it unfolds—something I am genuinely eager to witness.
