As a seasoned gamer and avid manga reader with over two decades of experience, I can confidently say that the conclusion of Jujutsu Kaisen has left me both amazed and a little saddened. The story of Yuji Itadori and his fellow students at Jujutsu Tech has been one heck of a rollercoaster ride, filled with suspense, action, and a dash of humor that only Gege Akutami can provide.


The story of Jujutsu Kaisen may have concluded, but there’s still plenty of surprises in store for fans regarding Yuji Itadori and his colleagues at Jujutsu Tech. The anime has verified that Studio MAPPA is working on a third season, hinting at a significant revelation this year within the supernatural shonen series. As fans bid farewell to their beloved characters, a countdown has started, promising to unveil another significant aspect of the manga that remains unknown. Although a sequel series hasn’t been officially confirmed yet, things might change in the future.

In simpler terms, the manga “Jujutsu Kaisen” provided its protagonists with an incredibly joyful ending, which is unusual given that creator Gege Akutami is known for offing significant characters, be they heroes or villains. The anime’s second season hinted at this pattern due to the Shibuya Incident Arc, a storyline that resulted in the deaths of key figures and left many viewers shocked. However, the manga’s climax unexpectedly resurrected characters who were believed to be dead, marking a shift in the death trend commonly seen in shonen series.

A Jujutsu Kaisen Countdown

The official account for Jujutsu Kaisen on social media initiated a countdown for November 18th, subtly suggesting the unveiling of manga covers for volumes 29 and 30. These final volumes mark the culmination of the series, which has rapidly ascended to become one of the most prominent shonen series in recent history. Although anime enthusiasts may have to wait several years for these events to unfold on screen, the manga’s release is likely to catch off-guard those who haven’t been following the individual chapters published by Weekly Shonen Jump.

The State of Shonen

It’s worth noting that Jujutsu Kaisen isn’t the only shonen series to conclude its story recently. Earlier this year, My Hero Academia also wrapped up with its final chapter, and the eighth and final season is set for release in 2025. As for One Piece, while a specific end date hasn’t been announced yet, its creator has hinted that the final saga is currently in progress, indicating that Luffy’s journey will eventually lead him towards the horizon.

Fortunately, fresh series are stepping up to take over from some that will be concluding soon. For instance, Dragon Ball Super is set to resume production as confirmed by artist Toyotaro following the sad demise of Akira Toriyama. Meanwhile, titles such as Dandadan, Sakamoto Days, Kagurabachi, and others are aiming to attract new readers. While Dandadan has already started its anime adaptation, other shonen series like these are yet to receive their own but could gain a massive following once they do.

A Jujutsu Kaisen Sequel

Currently, as of this article’s publication, Gege Akutami has yet to disclose whether they intend to carry on Yuji Itadori’s story in any manner. The concluding chapter offers a decisive ending for several characters in Jujutsu Kaisen, so if the series resumes, it would likely take a distinct turn from its earlier phases. Regardless of whether Jujutsu Kaisen makes a comeback, its influence on the anime world, especially with its supernatural shonen genre, is undeniably significant.
