As author and illustrator Gege Akutami’s Jujutsu Kaisen manga series approaches its climax, fans are increasingly surprised by the unexpected direction taken by the mangaka. The anticipated Heian era flashback, which would delve into the origins of Sukuna, Kenjaku, Tengen, and Uraume, has been overshadowed by a focus on establishing lore surrounding the New Shadow Style.
Many Jujutsu Kaisen enthusiasts express their frustration over the diversion from the Heian era backstory they were eager to explore. Initial critiques were reserved, hoping to see where Akutami would lead the narrative next. However, growing disappointment has led some to criticize the manga for spending time on seemingly trivial details.
Nevertheless, there’s a bright prospect in Akutami’s narrative strategy that should excite Jujutsu Kaisen fans. With the introduction of new lore—especially regarding the impending conflict within the sorcery world—there’s a strong indication that a sequel to the Jujutsu Kaisen manga could be on the horizon.
Chapter 269 Suggests a Sequel for Jujutsu Kaisen
As previously discussed, chapter 269 of Jujutsu Kaisen serves as compelling evidence for a potential continuation of Akutami’s series. A notable moment is the introduction of lore concerning Tengen just as the series nears its assumed end. This lore presents Tengen’s connection to the New Shadow Style school, which is evidently pivotal in these concluding chapters.
Furthermore, the references to Tengen seem purposeful; if it were unnecessary, Mei Mei could have simply mentioned her findings in Tengen’s records instead of implying that she learned directly from him. This suggests a deeper involvement of Tengen with the New Shadow Style.
Additionally, chapter 269 dedicates a significant portion of its content to discussing the New Shadow Style, even at the expense of addressing what happened to Satoru Gojo and allowing the Shinjuku survivors space to grieve. The chapter’s primary focus clearly centers on the New Shadow Style lore.
Mei Mei’s comments further imply a sequel is on the way, specifically mentioning an imminent power struggle between the Gojo and Kamo clans. She also hints at the previous leader of the New Shadow Style possibly entering the fray. This setup suggests that Akutami is laying the groundwork for a storyline that couldn’t be adequately resolved in just a couple of chapters, reinforcing the idea of a sequel.
A final indication of a potential sequel is the lack of significant acknowledgment for the manga’s nearing conclusion. While this is not as concrete as previous points, it hints that something significant may be forthcoming, especially when compared to the celebrations surrounding other series endings. While still unconfirmed, it appears highly probable that a new chapter in Akutami’s saga is in the works.
