Jujutsu Kaisen has a remarkable ability to make viewers develop strong connections with certain characters, even with minimal screentime. However, these attachments are often short-lived as the mangaka, Gege Akutami, frequently eliminates a significant number of characters for the sake of plot or to further develop other characters.
Despite the grim outlook for the protagonists in the current state of the Jujutsu Kaisen manga, fans have turned to crafting their own endings for the series. However, these endings are often fantastical or improbable, serving as a means for fans to cope with Akutami’s storytelling.
The Impact of Fanmade Scenarios on the Jujutsu Kaisen Community
Fanmade scenarios are frequently used to speculate about the potential outcomes of a series’ storyline, providing an enjoyable experience for fans. In the Jujutsu Kaisen community, these scenarios offer a break from the harsh reality of the story and allow fans to indulge in their hopeful thoughts and desires.
The most recent fanmade scenario, crafted by @SpeedyOnSpeed on X, features the official return of Satoru Gojo from death in chapter 288 of the manga. He reunites with his students and allies, engaging in a slightly corny conversation with Yuji before they all join forces to attack Sukuna.
After successfully defeating Sukuna, the King of Curses was visibly shocked by his first defeat. Following this, Gojo made a humorous comment, making the entire situation both silly and entertaining.
The creation of alternative or hypothetical scenarios by fans of Akutami’s masterpiece is a direct result of the tragic fates endured by their beloved characters. The deaths of popular characters such as Satoru Gojo, Nobara Kugisaki, and Kento Nanami have sparked a multitude of fanmade scenarios in which these characters are able to live their lives to the fullest.
Fan Response to the Latest Fanmade Scenario
Recently, the phrase ‘This truly was our Jujutsu Kaisen’ has gained popularity among the fandom and has become a popular meme. Fans have been incorporating this phrase into their fanmade scenarios for the past few months, and it has even been used to react to the latest scenario.
Another fan praised the scenario, but it was most likely meant as a satirical comment, especially considering the lighthearted nature of the scenario.
“I’m crying this is beautiful.”
Similarly, another fan playfully suggested that following the aforementioned scenario, there would be a time jump introducing a youthful man with pink hair. The series would then be unveiled as ‘Itadori Buji: Jujutsu Kaisen Next Generations’, resembling Boruto: Naruto Next Generations.
“Then there’s a timeskip with a young man with pink hair and it cuts to “Itadori Buji: Jujutsu Kaisen Next Generations””
A different fan expressed their relief in seeing genuine quality writing in Jujutsu Kaisen, while also poking fun at Akutami for the heart-wrenching deaths of beloved characters.
“Phew! Some actual good writing in JJK!”
Furthermore, a fan commended the scenario, describing it as ‘peak writing’ and suggesting that Gege Akutami should learn from it.
“peak writing. gege needs to take notes.”
This unofficial scenario was undeniably one of the funniest in recent times. The future it depicted is highly unlikely to ever become a reality, given the ridiculous nature of the scenario itself.
