The release of Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 270 marks a significant milestone as it is the penultimate chapter of this acclaimed manga series. As fans eagerly anticipated major plot developments, the chapter turned out to be somewhat anticlimactic, primarily reflecting on the lives of various characters following the final battle.
Nevertheless, this chapter likely provides a crucial hint about the manga’s future, as suggested by its intriguing title. While it might not mean much, there is speculation surrounding a possible sequel series, which raises the stakes, particularly when correlated with a key dialogue previously spoken by Kenjaku.

The Title of Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 270 Alludes to Kenjaku’s Conversation with Sasaki
Titled “End of the Dream,”the recent chapter of Jujutsu Kaisen echoes themes typically associated with a concluding chapter of a series. An exchange between Kenjaku and Setsuko Sasaki hints at the possibility of an unwelcome resolution to the storyline.
In Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 160, Kenjaku discusses his barrier and the impending violence of the Culling Game with bystanders, allowing them to escape before the chaos unfolds.
This conversation between Kenjaku and Sasaki occurs in a space straddling the line between dreams and reality. Kenjaku referred to it as a “curse,”yet the kanji used seemed to denote “majinai,”which is different from the term “noroi.”The distinction is significant; while “noroi”pertains to curses or dark supernatural forces, “majinai”relates more to human-performed rituals or magic techniques.
This divergence in terminology implies that the space connecting dream and reality could be perceived as either cursed or enchanted.
Given that chapter 270 is titled “End of a Dream,”it raises the prospect that the manga could be alluding to a potential sequel series as the ultimate “reality.”Thus, with the conclusion of this “dream”in Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 270, the forthcoming chapter, Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 271, could represent “the space between dream and reality.”
Depending on whether Kenjaku’s “curse”was intended or if he meant “enchantment,”the upcoming chapter may either conclude the series in a lackluster manner or present a deeply meta and unsettling finale. Unless the anticipated sequel is slated for release in an alternative publication by Shueisha, the likelihood of chapter 271 being underwhelming is minimal. Fans should brace themselves for an astonishing conclusion to the Jujutsu Kaisen saga.
