Gege Akutami has tied up the Jujutsu Kaisen storyline quite neatly. However, there remains the possibility for further development in the narrative. The three clans could be elaborated on, and the main characters, Yuji and Megumi, have the potential for further character exploration.

Fans are speculating that witnessing the next generation of exorcists, with Yuji and his companions as legends from the past, would be thrilling. Perhaps we might even see them teaching students in a classic ‘academy’ format reminiscent of how Jujutsu Kaisen originally began.

2. What are the Jujutsu Kaisen confirmed future projects?

At the highly successful Juju Fest 2024 on August 25th, several announcements regarding the Jujutsu Kaisen franchise were revealed. The series team announced a compilation film set to release in 2025, focusing on the Hidden Inventory Arc.

The Hidden Inventory Arc is famously known as Gojo’s past arc. Given Gojo’s popularity as a character—being well-developed and notably cool—fans are eager to see more about him.

The Hidden Inventory arc is a pivotal segment that sets the stage for multiple future events. There are countless revelations tied to Gojo’s Past Arc that will become clear to fans who experience it.

How did Gojo Satoru, a member of one of the three noble clans, behave in his youth? What led him to become the powerful figure admired by all exorcists? These are questions that the Hidden Inventory Arc will explore.

This arc involves Gojo and Geto on a mission to rescue Rika, who is destined to be the next Star Plasma Vessel. It is through Gojo’s interactions with Toji Fushiguro and his actions, including Rika’s death, that Gojo’s potential is unlocked, establishing him as one of the strongest exorcists in history.

Jujutsu Kaisen, also referred to as Sorcery Fight, is a Japanese manga series created by Gege Akutami, serialized in Weekly Shōnen Jump since March 2018.

An anime television adaptation produced by MAPPA debuted in October 2020.
