Sacrificing Jujutsu Kaisen for Hunter X Hunter – The Impact of Weekly Shonen Jump’s Latest Announcements on Anime Fandoms

The comeback of the Hunter X Hunter manga has been officially announced for October 2024. However, this return has caused some interesting discussions within the fandoms, as it coincides with the ending of Jujutsu Kaisen. Some fans have playfully suggested that author Gege Akutami’s work has been “sacrificed”in order for Yoshihiro Togashi’s story to make its comeback.

Moreover, an interesting factor to consider is the strong connection between Hunter X Hunter and Jujutsu Kaisen on a meta-level. This is due to Akutami’s constant mention of being a huge fan of Togashi, the creator of Hunter X Hunter. Therefore, it is intriguing to witness how the ending of one series aligns with the comeback of the other.
