Despite the fact that Jujutsu Kaisen only has four chapters remaining, there is much speculation about the fate of protagonist Yuji Itadori. Many are debating whether he will meet his end as he has always strived for a “proper death”in accordance with his grandfather’s dying wish. This has sparked numerous discussions and debates surrounding the topic.
Regarding this, chapter 265 of the Jujutsu Kaisen manga depicted Yuji conversing with Ryomen Sukuna and disclosing that he had let go of his desire for a “proper death”, demonstrating a shift in his mindset.
This twist in the characterization, established by author Gege Akutami this late in the game, is going to be a crucial element in the conclusion of the series. It must have been carefully considered by Akutami in its creation.
This article includes spoilers for the series, so please be aware before continuing to read.
Explaining why Yuji Itadori won’t die in the Jujutsu Kaisen ending
For a significant amount of time, there was speculation within the series that Yuji Itadori would meet his demise due to his grandfather’s final wish before passing away, with only Yuji by his side. This potential outcome seemed fitting for his character, given the bleak and somber tone of the story where many sorcerers meet their end.
Nevertheless, in chapter 265 of the manga, Yuji is seen conversing with the series’ main antagonist, Ryomen Sukuna, discussing his journey towards overcoming his struggles and his determination to continue living.
It would be a far more logical ending to his journey if he were to survive and conquer the challenges, making the struggles and misfortunes all the more fulfilling to overcome.
Moreover, this serves as a stark contrast to Sukuna’s unending pessimism and inability to form meaningful connections with others. This conversation signifies Yuji’s newfound appreciation for the worth of life, which may ultimately aid him in defeating the antagonist from a philosophical standpoint as well.
What’s Coming Up Next?
The upcoming chapters of Jujutsu Kaisen will address a variety of elements, including the conclusion of the battle against Ryomen Sukuna and the aftermath of the intense fight.
Despite Akutami’s decision to neglect this subplot, the community has turned the Uraume vs. Hakari battle into a running meme, making it uncertain how it will ultimately conclude.
Overall, one of the most intriguing aspects will be Akutami’s approach to wrapping up the final chapters and giving resolution to various storylines and characters within the series. This may involve addressing lingering plot points such as the impending merger, the state of the Jujutsu society, and the fates of remaining individuals like Maki Zen’in and Aoi Todo, among others.
Concluding Remarks
Despite the uncertainty surrounding how Yuji Itadori will conclude his story in Jujutsu Kaisen, it is unlikely that his death would align with his character development thus far. Having grown to value life more, his demise would contradict the foundations that have been established for his character.
