Jujutsu Kaisen is reaching its final stages and the situation for the witches doesn’t look promising. Chapter 251 shows Sukuna becoming more serious, raising fans’ concerns about how the manga will end.
Will the cursed souls prevail, potentially leading to the return of the Heian Age? Or will the witches, with the support of Yuta and Yuji, win?
One popular theory is that the series’ ending was subtly hinted at throughout. User @Fakewa shared an analysis from TikTok user suguru.gay.toe, analyzing the series and suggesting that the ending of Jujutsu Kaisen will repeat the events from the beginning.
Decoding Jujutsu Kaisen and predictions for the future
TikTok users suggested that Jujutsu Kaisen could follow a ‘split story’ structure, where the events at the beginning mirror those at the end. They illustrate this with examples from other media, such as the Harry Potter series and Beauty and the Beast.
In Harry Potter, the first three books reflect the last three (not including the fourth). Similarly, Beauty and the Beast also follows this general pattern.
Regarding the Jujutsu Kaisen series, it is important to note that its releases do not follow chronological order.
In chronological order, it starts with the Hidden Inventory arc, delves into Gojo’s past, then moves on to Jujutsu Kaisen 0, and finally continues with the rest of the series, starting with school days Itadori is attacked by a cursed spirit.
TikTok users pointed out that the complex structure of Jujutsu Kaisen becomes clear after chapter 90, when Gojo Satoru is sealed, mirroring Sukuna’s sealing after the battle with Choso in the Shibuya arc. Subsequent events reinforced this theory.
For example, Mechamaru’s betrayal and subsequent redemption parallel Yuta’s actions in the Destroy Yuji arc.
The Kyoto Sister School arc and the Culling Games arc are also linked, both involving battles between witches with interference from outside forces.
Additionally, moments like Sukuna forcing Yuji to feed Megumi with his fingers are mirrored events from previous episodes. For example, Yuji’s forced use of Sukuna’s fingers in the first episode. Notably, important events such as Geto’s death on Christmas Eve mirror Gojo’s death on the same day.
After establishing the possibility that Jujutsu Kaisen is a fairy tale, TikTok users have ventured to make predictions about the future of the series. Since the video was posted on October 4, 2023, some of these predictions can now be assessed for accuracy.
What to expect from the future of the series
TikTok user predictions include a potential “love moment” reminiscent of Rika and Yuta’s connection in Jujutsu Kaisen 0, which could occur during a showdown between Yorozu (Tsumiki) and Sukuna (Megumi). , where Yorozu emphasizes teaching Sukuna about “love”.
Another highly anticipated event is a rematch between Yuta and Geto, similar to their encounter in Jujutsu Kaisen 0. This rematch, possibly prompted by the events of the Shinjuku Showdown arc, is once again leading to Geto’s defeat.
Looking ahead, users foresee a scenario in which someone could intervene to prevent Master Tengen’s fusion, similar to Toji’s actions in the Hidden Inventory arc.
With the power to request the merger now residing with Megumi through Sukuna, potential methods of containment could involve Megumi’s intervention, possibly through the removal of Tengen or a designated merger participant.
Killing Tengen seems more logical, especially considering the current plan of a fusion between Tengen and humanity.
A significant awakening, possibly mirroring Gojo Satoru’s awakening after Riko’s death, may occur. This awakening can manifest as the resurrection of Yuji or Gojo. After resolving their respective problems, all the witches are able to reunite at the Jujutsu school, reflecting Gojo’s return along with Riko’s remains.
In a crucial moment, Yuji or Gojo could eliminate Sukuna and return Tengen’s body to the Jujutsu school, especially if Megumi takes Tengen’s life. Eventually, a restoration of balance like the birth of Gojo may occur. This may involve destroying all cursed souls or completely removing cursed energy.
