Jujutsu Kaisen Has Some Major Loose Ends to Tie Before Its Ending

As a seasoned gamer and avid manga enthusiast, who has traversed through the labyrinth of countless stories, I must say that the news of Jujutsu Kaisen‘s impending conclusion leaves me with a sense of both excitement and melancholy.


As a longtime fan of manga and someone who’s followed the epic journey of Jujutsu Kaisen since its early days, I can’t help but feel a mix of excitement and apprehension as we approach the final chapters. With only five more issues left in Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump magazine, it feels like the end of an era is upon us.

As Jujutsu Kaisen progressed over the past few years, its battles became increasingly brutal. However, with so many unanswered questions about the jujutsu universe, it seems unlikely that the series will have time to address them all. Creator Gege Akutami has subtly hinted at various aspects of the world throughout the series, and it appears that these threads may not be explored further in favor of focusing on Yuji’s story. This leaves the expansion of the world feeling somewhat incomplete.

Jujutsu Kaisen Questions That Need to Be Answered

Will we ever see Sukuna’s past in the Heien era?

  • Jujutsu Kaisen has continued to allude to the era where Curses were supreme, and where Sukuna was king, but as of this point it seems like it will only be flavor text to inform what’s going on in the present. There likely won’t be any elaborating on what this past era looked like or what happened, so that’s something that fans will definitely miss out before it ends in its five chapters left at hand.

Is Kenjaku truly defeated? Does this mean no merger?

  • Kenjaku was killed off-panel in the fight against Yuta Okkotsu, so at this point one of the major villains in the series who seemed to have a grander plan will never see it realized. Sukuna also might not merge with the mass of Curses built by the Culling Game, and that’s something fans kind of need to see. Otherwise, what was the point of the Culling Game and Shibuya Incident’s losses if not to build to some of kind of giant monster climax?

Is Hakari vs. Uraume still happening?

  • The fight against Sukuna really isn’t the only fight happening at the moment as Kinji Hakari is still fighting against Uraume. Outside of a brief revisit of this fight when the two were reacting to something Sukuna was doing, fans haven’t seen any more of this fight. One of these last chapters at least has to bring this fight to an end somehow.

Are Gojo and Nobara really dead?

  • There have been some hope of Satoru Gojo and Nobara Kugisaki somehow still being alive after their last appearance, so unfortunately we’ll get our answer on these one way or the other as it ends. But in Nobara’s case, she was left with some potential of survival since she was last seen in the Shibuya Incident arc and it actually motivated Yuji to continue through his own fights ahead. It really seems like she has died, for all intents and purposes, but we need a definitive confirmation as it ends.

As a devoted gamer, I’m super hyped about the upcoming finale of “Jujutsu Kaisen” on September 30th in Japan! If you’re behind like me and want to catch up, don’t worry – it won’t cost you a dime. You can easily binge-read all the latest chapters for free through either Viz Media’s digital Shonen Jump library or Shueisha’s MangaPlus service. Happy reading, fellow manga enthusiasts!
