We all knew JJK is ending soon and the Shinjuku Showdown Arc is the final arc of the manga. However, the actual announcement was heartbreaking.
The announcement was made during the Shonen Jump livestream. Jujutsu Kaisen will end on 29th September and Chapter 271 is going to conclude the manga series.
The story will finally come to its end in 5 more chapters. It’s thanks to all of your support and cooperation, dear readers, that I have been able to conclude the series the way I wanted to. Thank you! I’m working really hard to make a satisfactory final chapter (maybe) to as many ‘Jujutsu Kaisen’ readers as possible. Everyone, please bear with me!!
Currently, there are 266 chapters released. I don’t think the remaining chapters will be enough to wrap up all the storylines and loose ends. I am going to discuss some of the unresolved plots in the series.
Hakari vs Uraume
The fight between them is still ongoing but Gege’s entire focus is on our main character Yuji, he did bring Gojo back too in a unique way (gave his body to Yuta).
But Hakari and Uraume are completely forgotten, fandom is worried that Gege will just offscreen them. Gege hyped up Hakari’s character a lot in the Culling Games.
Hakari and Uraume were last seen in chapter 252 after Yuji and the gang stole the spotlight from him completely.
Sukuna is still Undefeated
I know Sukuna will be defeated in the upcoming chapters, but now it seems rushed. Yuta was not able to defeat Sukuna (using Gojo’s body and domain expansion) but Yuji can with his domain expansion which apparently he released for the first time in the entire series.
Gojo vs Sukuna lasted for 14 chapters and ended with Gojo being split in half. Yuji’s character development was perfect but I don’t want the author to mess up his character development by rushing the Sukuna’s defeat.
Yuji also threatens Sukuna in chapter 265, he can kill Sukuna anytime, it’s like Yuji can now one-shot Sukuna with his domain. I am all up for Yuji becoming the strongest but he should climb the stairs one stair at a time.
So Many Deaths Unconfirmed
A lot of deaths are still unconfirmed since after getting defeated by Sukuna it seems Ui Ui was teleporting the bodies or dead bodies of the sorcerers to Shoko.
Moreover, after Yuta took over Gojo’s body to fight with Sukuna, he used up all the cursed energy and fainted. His plot was left unresolved too, leaving fans including me to wonder if he survived or died.
Then there are Nobara fans who still believe that Nobara is still alive because Gege has been vague about her death, he has given multiple hints that she is dead but there are a lot of fan theories that suggest she is alive.
Final Words
There are a lot of unresolved plots in the JJK series and it does not seem that all of these loose ends will be wrapped up in the last 5 chapters. For example, the entire culling game arc was about the Merger and after Kenjaku’s death, we still don’t know if the Merger is going to activate or not.
Either way, I love JJK and I am still going to love JJK if Gege ignores these loose ends.
