Additionally, he conveyed his dedication to crafting a concluding chapter that would hopefully please the majority of supporters of the series. As such, the manga artist appealed to fans to be patient with him during this process.

What to Expect from the Conclusion of Jujutsu Kaisen Manga

As Jujutsu Kaisen manga approaches its conclusion with only five more chapters left in its serialization, the main focus is expected to be on the final battle between the Jujutsu Sorcerers and the powerful King of Curses, Ryomen Sukuna. With Yuji Itadori leading the sorcerers, the protagonist is likely to gain the upper hand in the ongoing fight.

While the upcoming five chapters will not solely revolve around Itadori vs. Sukuna, it’s worth noting that the manga has also shown the beginning of the Kinji Hakari and Uraume fight. Therefore, it is possible that one of the five chapters will also feature this battle.

After the fights come to an end, the manga may resolve all lingering plot points and disclose the fate of the remaining characters in the series. This could potentially provide fans with answers regarding the outcome of various characters, such as Kugisaki Nobara. However, fans can only anticipate that the next five chapters will address all of their unanswered questions.
