Gege Akutami has known Jujutsu Kaisen’s final chapter for years

Despite the looming end of Jujutsu Kaisen, fans are eagerly anticipating the conclusion of the story. However, creator Gege Akutami has been planning the ending for years.

The conclusion of Jujutsu Kaisen is expected to arrive soon. While the exact date is unknown, it has been officially announced that the manga is currently in its final stages and has been for a while.

Despite the ongoing speculation and discussions about the outcome of the fight between the strongest sorcerers and Sukuna, a recently discovered interview with Gege revealed an interesting detail – the final chapter was already planned before the story began.

In the postscript for Jujutsu Kaisen 0, released in 2021, he stated, “I have already determined the content of the final chapter and several events that will take place along the way.”However, he expressed uncertainty about how the story will come together and questioned if he will be able to complete it successfully.

To begin with, we are confident that Jujutsu Kaisen will conclude in the way Gege originally envisioned. His remaining remarks are intriguing and occur more frequently than one might expect.

Many creators have a clear idea of where they want their story to end, often in the form of a general outline, early on. George RR Martin, the mastermind behind Game of Thrones, had a vision of who would ultimately sit on the Iron Throne by the conclusion of the series and shaped his books accordingly.

While some writers prefer a more structured approach, others, like Stephen King, take a more freeform approach and simply start writing, developing the story and characters as they go. Despite being considered a great icon of modern literature, many readers would argue that his endings are not his strongest aspect.

Gege is employing proven techniques to ensure a successful conclusion. The immense success of Jujutsu Kaisen has resulted in a larger viewership than expected, but Gege remains confident in his direction.

The true concern is who will survive. Numerous characters have perished in the manga thus far, and it would be unwise to assume that we are now safe from any further losses.
