Exploring the Unanswered Questions in the Jujutsu Kaisen Finale

The conclusion of Jujutsu Kaisen is imminent, yet the manga must address a few unresolved questions before its finale.

Since its debut in 2018, Gege Akutami’s Jujutsu Kaisen has been one of the most successful manga of the past decade. In just six years, it has become the quintessential example of modern shonen manga. And now, the highly anticipated ending of Jujutsu Kaisen is just around the corner.

The manga is currently in its final arc, known as the Shinjuku Showdown Arc. This epic battle between Sukuna and the jujutsu sorcerers, including the highly anticipated Gojo vs. Sukuna clash, marks the culmination of the story.

Jujutsu Kaisen is scheduled to conclude with the release of Chapter 271 on September 30, 2024. This implies that there are only five remaining chapters before the series comes to an end. Despite this, there are several unresolved plot points that must be addressed before the story can reach its final conclusion.

1. What happened to Jin Itadori?

Yuji’s father, Jin Itadori, may not have seemed significant to the plot for a long time, but his presence was still felt in Yuji’s childhood. He passed away during this time, and Yuji was so young that he only has a vague memory of his father’s face. However, the details of his death remain unknown.

Nevertheless, Jin’s role in the narrative grew more intricate as we discovered that Yuji’s birth mother was Kenjaku, who had taken over the body of Kaori Itadori, Jin’s late wife. Furthermore, he was also the reincarnated soul of Sukuna’s twin, whom he had consumed while still in their mother’s womb.

This indicates that Jin serves as the link between Sukuna and Yuji. As the main antagonist and protagonist, it can be assumed that there is much more to Jin than meets the eye. However, at this point, we have very little information about him – a gap that must be filled before the conclusion of Jujutsu Kaisen.

2. What was the relationship between Kenjaku and Tengen?

Despite their opposing roles, both Kenjaku and Tengen remain enigmatic figures. Kenjaku seeks destruction solely for his own entertainment, while Tengen holds the weight of humanity’s destiny on his shoulders. Nevertheless, there are some parallels that can be drawn between the two characters.

Despite their opposites in morality, the two are ancient sorcerers who defied death and have been alive for centuries. Though it is unclear how they became friends, they did share a bond in the past.

It would be intriguing to witness a flashback of their shared past. Despite Jujutsu Kaisen having only five chapters remaining, it would be enjoyable to gain more insight into their history through even just a few sentences.

3. Does Yuji Ever Find Out About His Parentage?

The revelation that Yuji is the son of Kenjaku in Jujutsu Kaisen was a shocking twist. It completely caught us off guard and forever altered our perception of both characters. This unexpected connection between the protagonists suggests that there is a deeper history behind Yuji’s origins than we had initially anticipated.

Due to Jin’s association with Sukuna, his intentions become increasingly enigmatic. As of now, Yuji remains unaware of his true lineage. It is important for Jujutsu Kaisen to explore this storyline, as neglecting it would be a missed opportunity.

4. How Will the Deaths of Gojo and Sukuna Affect Curses?

It is widely known that Gojo and Sukuna are among the most powerful jujutsu sorcerers in history. Gojo’s birth had a profound impact on the world, disrupting its balance. His immense strength heavily favored the sorcerers, causing the curses to grow stronger in order to maintain equilibrium.

On the contrary, Sukuna currently holds the title of the strongest being in the manga. Known as the King of Curses, the mere presence of his cursed fingers has greatly amplified the strength and occurrence of cursed spirits.

However, with Gojo’s death and Sukuna’s imminent demise, the question arises: how will the curses be impacted? It is possible that they will become weaker, now that the main threats have been eliminated. Yet, the true outcome remains uncertain until the manga concludes this storyline.

5. Will Yuki’s vision ever come true?

Despite being a jujutsu sorcerer, Yuki Tsukumo was anything but ordinary. As one of the four Special Grade sorcerers, she possessed a formidable cursed technique. However, her exceptional quality was not her strength, but her visionary perspective.

Despite being well-versed in the brutality of the jujutsu realm, Yuki was deeply aware of the sacrifices made by sorcerers to safeguard ordinary citizens from curses. However, while Geto sought to eliminate the unfairness by exterminating all non-sorcerers, Yuki had a more honorable solution in mind.

Her goal was to eradicate cursed energy entirely, rendering the existence of cursed spirits impossible and eliminating the need for jujutsu sorcerers. Although it may seem like a difficult task, it is the only way to achieve a positive outcome in the long term. It is important for Jujutsu Kaisen to reveal whether her vision is ultimately realized before the series concludes.
