Jujutsu Kaisen It recently ended, and it's safe to say that the manga ended with quite a divisive chapter. Fans certainly appreciated all that the series writer, Gege Akutami, put into the story, but at the same time, they openly accepted the fact that the ending was great and lacked in many ways.

still, JJK The ending doesn't change the fact that this has been a story that fans have thoroughly enjoyed over the past 6 or so years, with some seasons keeping them on the edge of their seats and others simply blowing them away. All extreme measures in JJK It finally ended with chapter 271 and now, the story of these magnificent wizards has finally come to an end.

A new curse user is revealed at the end

• Yuji, Megumi, and Nobara battled a new curse user
• Yuji takes over Gojo's dream

Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 270 introduced a new curse to fans. This was another interesting addition by the author, but it was calculated. At first, fans were completely confused as to why the writer would introduce a new enemy just one chapter before the end of the story. However, later it finally became clear to fans why this was the case. in JJK Chapter 271, this curse user was shown to be a rather timid person who seemed upset that a woman would not return his love. Because of this, he used his newfound powers to cause problems in her life.

I look forward to great things from you once you join us! – Yoji Itadori

This bitter man was naturally noticed for his behavior. It was very strange for the fans to see this person defeated so easily. However, after that, fans saw a flashback of Gojo, where he entrusted everything to Yuji Itadori and showed him how to properly raise the next generation. Yuji now used this moment to convey a similar message to this individual, letting him know that great things are in store for him in the future once he mends his ways. It was a really cool touch on the part of the writer and it was just meant to show that Yuuji is now much more mature than at the beginning of the series and even though the world is a much safer place now, Yuuji has a powerful bunch around him to fight against. Monsters that cross his path.

Gojo's dream was transferred to Yuji Itadori

Gojo is dead, but his dream lives on

Of course, it is impossible to talk about it absolutely JJK It ends regardless of Gojo Satoru's character. Gojo is the face JJKAnd even though he's not the main character, he's easily the most popular. Gojo died in his battle with Tsukune in JJK chapter 236. Unfortunately, all of that wasn't enough as Tsukune had power not only from his own cursed technique but also from Megumi's technique. These two cursed techniques basically combined to give him the upper hand over the strongest modern wizard and basically kill him.

Gojo's death is officially confirmed, but it is very strange for the author not to confirm his death further in the story. In fact, every character's life in JJK is affected by Gojo in some way, and it's safe to say that he's at the center of everything. It was definitely a failure on the writer's part to not even mention Gojo properly for the last few chapters.

One of you must forget me and attain a power different from mine. – Gojo

For what it's worth, in the last season of JJK, fans got to see Gojo Satoru once again. In the flashback with Yuji, the two were training together. Gojo felt that he had absolutely nothing to fear, knowing that the generation that came after him was capable and could reach the same level as him or even surpass him. While Yuji felt that Gojo's behavior was strange, to Gojo, it was full of confidence.

Gojo knew that even if he lost the battle against Tsukune, the future of the world was in safe hands. He then told Yuuji that he had great expectations for him in the future and basically Gojo's dream became Yuuji's dream.

Goju wanted the order of jujutsu to change and fans have seen that happen over the last few seasons, especially when the higher ranks were basically all gone, and at the same time, those who tried to control the jujutsu hierarchy monopolized the jujutsu hierarchy. were The domain was also simple. Now, Gojo's dream is basically coming true, but at the same time, fans can also conclude that it certainly wasn't the best ending for him.

The legend of Ryoman Sukona finally dies

Sukona finally understands the meaning of love

Of course, then one must also discuss the character of Ryoman Sokona. Tsukune was treated well in the Shinjuku Showdown arc. He went up against hordes of wizards and held his own incredibly well. Tsukune was certainly a force to be reckoned with in this battle, and it's safe to say that the performance he put in certainly deserved the title he holds. In the end, Tsukune was defeated by Yuuji and basically what was left behind was a single finger that shouldn't have enough cursed energy to even manifest him. Originally, this finger was now harmless and simply acted as a charm.

Tsukune was also seen in the afterlife, where he looked back on his life and finally admitted that he was the way he was because he was unloved. In the end, Sokona decided that if she had another chance, she might choose a different path, this time, a path filled with love.

Meanwhile, other characters in JJKLike Megumi and Nobara, they continued to work alongside Yuji Itadori. These are the figures of high jujutsu and continue to fight against the cursed spirits while bringing peace to the world. Other characters such as Yuta, Maki, Toge, and Hakari, among others, continue on with their daily lives as if nothing happened, and this basically served as an ending for JJK.

Tsukune's finger served as the last panel of the series, and it was essentially symbolic. It's clear that JJK's ending wasn't as good as fans wanted, but it certainly wasn't the worst ending either. Currently, no sequels or spinoffs have been announced for JJK, but that may change in the future depending on what the writer wants to do with his next project.

The last chapter of Jujutsu Kaisen, JJK 271, is finally released on September 29, 2024. Fans can read the series on Manga Plus and Shonen Jump.
