The latest chapter of “ Jujutsu Kaisen ” has generated
a wave of criticism among Japanese fans due to the way
the final battle against Ryomen Sukuna and his apparent final death was
resolved. This chapter also marked the long-awaited return of Megumi Fushiguro
and Nobara Kugisaki to the main trio. However, many feel that the
resolution in just two chapters turned out to be too rushed and lacking the
expected impact.
Fan comments on social media reflect a mix of surprise
and disappointment. One user expressed, “ Jujutsu Kaisen, the
atmosphere was ‘In just 5 chapters everything is going to be resolved?!’, but
suddenly it has become ‘What are they going to do in the next 3 chapters?! ’ ”
This comment highlights confusion and concern about the accelerated pace at
which the final events are being handled.
Another user mentioned, “ Sukuna, in the
end, ended very simply .” This suggests that the final showdown
against Sukuna did not meet many fans’ expectations in terms of excitement and
narrative development. Additionally, there were observations about the use of
sorcery in the final showdown, with one comment highlighting, “ In
the flashback to the showdown between Hakari and Uraume, everyone is
resurrected by Takaba’s magic spell after dying, and Zenin Naoya is revived by
some mistake .”
The quickening of the pace was also reflected in the
discussion of the impact and aftermath of the battle. Some fans indicated that
“ I wouldn’t be surprised if, in the next chapter, we see a quick
transition to the closure of the story, showing the characters and how they
adapt after the final battle .”
The plot is also receiving criticism for not
adequately addressing certain elements, such as the new type of cursed energy
and its implications globally. One fan commented, “ I wonder how the
issue regarding the new cursed energy that came to America, and the ‘overcoming
of cursed energy’ that was mentioned but not resolved, will be handled .”
Finally, some reviews suggest that the story may be
moving into a new phase, with observations such as: “ It is likely
that the next arc will usher in a new stage in the series with the appearance
of Tengen and the transition to a second part .” Criticism
reflects widespread concern over the way the series’ climax has been handled,
with many fans expressing that the resolution did not live up to expectations
generated by the previous plot development.

- « The
author Akutami-sensei is amazing, he is collecting all the ideas that are
above the speculations on the internet .»
- « In
the memory of the confrontation between Hakari and Uraume, everyone is
revived by Takaba's magic spell after dying. Zenin
Naoya is revived by some mistake »
- « Sukuna
finished very easily in the end .»
- « I
remember experiencing the same feeling of 'What will they do in the next 4
chapters?!' → 'It's going to be over in 3 chapters?!' → 'What will they do
in 2 chapters?!' during the 'Death War' arc, so I wouldn't be surprised if
something similar happens here . »
- « I
really think the author is capable of creating a story in a single chapter
that spans from the Heian Period to the Okkotsu Arc. Although
this is just a wish »
- « I'm
curious to see how they'll handle the issue of the new cursed energy that
arrived in America. Also, although the 'escape of the cursed energy' that
Kizuki mentioned didn't come to pass, will the story end with 'our fight
continues'? »
- « They
should describe the impact of revealing the existence of the curses to the
public. Also, considering that the US military was deployed and many
curses devoured people, it seems dangerous if they cannot control the
situation. Energy problems are discussed all over the world, and if there
is no control of the information, it could lead to a war. Okkotsu
could solve the problem on a national level .»
- « The
next chapter will show who died and who survived, then the epilogue will
deal with the resolution of the 'Death War', and the ending could jump
several years to show the future of the characters, or it could jump 70
years to show the end of Itadori .»
- « This
is why they should definitely introduce Tengen fused with ordinary people
at the end, and start the second part of the series .»
