Jujutsu Kaisen is a popular manga and is reaching its peak. However, author Gege Akutami has said in previous statements that the series will not last beyond 2024. Although the author always has the ability to change plans, it is clear to fans that the plot has enter the final stage.
An important point in the story is the Culling Game arc, which many speculate is the climax of the story. The reincarnation of Sukuna, a formidable villain has left the heroes in a desperate situation. And it’s likely that Sukuna will emerge as the eventual winner, which is a surprise result that may or may not be well received, depending on how it’s executed.
Sukuna’s achievements to date
Sukuna has faced and overcome many significant challenges. The notable fight against Gojo Satoru in the Culling Game arc especially caught the attention of fans. This evenly matched battle ended with Sukuna winning. After Gojo’s fall, other characters such as Kashimo, Yuji, and Higuruma attempted to confront Sukuna, but were unsuccessful. Sukuna displays overwhelming strength, raising questions about the outcome of the upcoming battle.
Sukuna vs. Yuji: Decisive battle
The next key battle will be between Sukuna and Yuji, promising to be the climax of the Culling Game arc. This battle will be decisive, showing Yuji’s true potential. However, the outcome is uncertain, if Yuji is defeated it could leave Sukuna as the ultimate winner.
Was Sukuna’s victory a good ending?
The idea of Sukuna winning is appealing, as it subverts the common expectation that heroes will prevail. However, this can be seen as a waste of the characters’ journey and sacrifice throughout the series. The deaths of important characters like Gojo and Higuruma must have had an important narrative purpose. A victory for the villains could be seen as a throwaway of these carefully constructed stories.
An ending where the villains prevail could be considered dark and damaging to Jujutsu Kaisen’s legacy. While some fans may find a certain appeal in the idea of an unexpected and chaotic outcome, most are probably hoping for an ending that honors the characters’ trajectory. . The sacrifices and struggles that heroes like Nobara and Gojo face are fundamental and need to have an impact on the story. Their failures need to be meaningful, contributing to the growth and development of the remaining characters.
One of the biggest challenges for Akutami will be balancing fan expectations with narrative coherence. Sukuna’s victory may have been a bold ending, but it risked devaluing the characters’ journeys and fans’ emotional investment. The characters’ losses and victories should fit the development and progression of the story without seeming forced or aimless.
The future of the series
Fans are naturally excited to see how the story will unfold. The fight between Yuji and Sukuna is especially anticipated as it could set the tone for the rest of the series. Regardless of the outcome, Akutami is expected to deliver an ending that stays true to the spirit of the series while preserving its legacy and satisfying fans. The idea of Sukuna winning while causing interesting discussions may not be the best way to end the series.
