After six incredible years, Jujutsu Kaisen has finally reached its conclusion with chapter 271, closing the door on one of the most gripping shonen anime series of the decade. As a fan who has been on this journey from the start, the final chapter left me both satisfied and filled with nostalgia for the characters and moments that defined this series. Let’s break down the key highlights of the ending and reflect on the adventure that captivated millions worldwide.
1. Yuji’s Final Mission: The Last Stand
- A reunion of friends: In the last chapter, Yuji, Megumi, and Nobara are reunited for one final mission, bringing back the iconic trio we first fell in love with.
- Confronting the curse user: The final mission involved solving a mysterious case from the Culling Game, where the trio faced a powerful cursed user. Their teamwork and growth as sorcerers were on full display as they devised a strategy to outsmart their enemy.
- Lighthearted closure: Despite the intense battles, the final moments were refreshingly lighthearted, offering Yuji and his friends a moment of peace after all the hardships they had endured.
2. Satoru Gojo’s Legacy: Hope for the Future
- Gojo’s inner conflict: Even as one of the strongest sorcerers, Gojo admitted doubts about the final battle with Sukuna in his conversation with Yuji during the Shinjuku Showdown arc. His vulnerability in this moment added depth to his character.
- Passing the torch: Gojo’s greatest wish was for Yuji and the next generation to surpass him. His belief in his students and their potential resonated throughout the final chapter, making his absence even more impactfull.
3. Sukuna and Mahito’s Final Conversation: The True Motive
- A deeper villain: The conversation between Sukuna and Mahito, made possible by Mahito’s soul manipulation technique, gave us new insight into Sukuna’s character. Mahito speculated that Sukuna’s actions were driven by revenge rather than pure malice, adding a layer of complexity to his role as the ultimate antagonist.
- Villains with depth: This scene reminded us how Akutami crafted antagonists who are more than just power-hungry beings; they are driven by personal, sometimes tragic motivations.
4. Unresolved Mysteries: The Spirit of Jujutsu Kaisen
- Questions that remain: While the series tied up many plotlines, Akutami intentionally left some mysteries unresolved. This keeps fans theorizing about potential outcomes, ensuring that the spirit of Jujutsu Kaisen will live on in fan discussions.
- A fitting end: By not giving us all the answers, the ending stays true to the unpredictable nature of the story, where uncertainty and chaos are constants. This sense of mystery is part of what made the journey so compelling.
5. A Thank You to the Fans: Akutami’s Parting Words
- Gratitude from the creator: In his final message to fans, Gege Akutami expressed his thanks for the overwhelming support and hinted at more works in the future. He reflected on how far the series had come and how excited he is to start new projects.
- A legacy to be remembered: With over 100 million copies sold worldwide, Jujutsu Kaisen has earned its place as one of the most beloved manga of all time. Fans can only wait in anticipation for what Akutami will create next.
As I close the book on Jujutsu Kaisen, I can’t help but feel a deep sense of appreciation for the characters, the action, and the emotional moments that made this series unforgettable. The ending may have left us with a few mysteries, but that’s what makes the story of Yuji and his friends so special—it’s a journey that will stay with us long after the final page. Thank you, Gege Akutami, for this incredible ride.
