The mangaka of Jujutsu Kaisen sacrifices epilogue so that his plan for the finale works

earthpressnews

The Jujutsu Kaisen manga is set to end this year. Gege Akutami, the mangaka of Jujutsu Kaisen, only has a few months left to complete the story. To make sure that happens, he has come up with a plan for the finale.

What is his plan? In a Q&A at the “Gege Akutami ‘Jujutsu Kaisen'” exhibition, the mangaka revealed that the current Shinjuku arc will be the final arc. This means that there will be no separate arc in which we can say goodbye to the characters from Jujutsu Kaisen.

We may not get to see what happens to the characters a few years after the events of the Shinjuku arc. Many mangaka like Akira Toriyama or Masashi Kishimoto have at least touched on what the protagonists’ lives are like after the tough battles in Dragon Ball Z and Naruto.

However, Gege Akutami may skip this. This will mean that Jujutsu Kaisen will end with the 11th arc. This will allow him to stick to the planned date he wants to end the manga with.

The story of Jujutsu Kaisen ends this year

When could the final chapter be released? The current Shinjuku arc, which will include the finale of Jujutsu Kaisen, currently has 42 chapters. There have only been two arcs that were longer than the Shinjuku arc:

  • “Culling Game” arc (10th arc): 63 chapters
  • “Shibuya Incident” arc (7th arc): 58 chapters

    • If the Shibuya arc follows this pattern, it could take until the end of November 2024 for the manga’s finale to appear. Since the chapters do not always appear on a weekly basis, it could be tight to hold the grand finale in 2024.

    Accordingly, Gege Akutami would have no time to come up with a final arc as a clean conclusion. However, it is not officially known when Jujutsu Kaisen will end.

    Where can I read Jujutsu Kaisen? If you want to read the grand finale for free, you can read it in English on the Manga Plus website. Alternatively, you can buy the manga volumes in German from your local bookstore.

    If you are interested in the anime, you can currently watch the first two seasons on Crunchyroll. The first two seasons include seven full arcs from the manga.

    Another manga that goes in the same direction as Jujutsu Kaisen is Kagurabachi. The manga started as a cult meme among anime fans, but then turned out to be a great story. It was recently announced that there will soon even be an anime based on it: Popular manga gets anime, could enter on the level of Jujutsu Kaisen and Demon Slayer
