Jujutsu Kaisen manga came to an end with chapter 271, leaving fans divided about the end of the story. Many expected an ending full of the intense battles and emotions that marked the series, but the end result was considered anticlimactic by the public.

- Jujutsu Kaisen 271: Sukuna's secret revealed at the end of the manga
The previous chapter showed the consequences of the epic battle in Shinjuku and revealed the fate of some important characters. Megumi Fushiguro appeared honoring her sister Tsumiki alongside Shoko Ieiri and then joined Yuji Itadori and Nobara Kugisaki for a new mission. During this mission, they encountered a woman who claimed to see her fiancé with a different face, suggesting the presence of a new curse.
Nobara noticed that there were no active techniques on the woman, which indicated an extremely skilled curse user. From then on, the trio focused their efforts on locating whoever was responsible. Nobara suggested moving away to weaken the technique's effect, but Yuji and Megumi disagreed on the best approach. After analyzing the scope of the curse, they were able to temporarily deactivate it, allowing the woman to see her fiance's real face.
The moment they located the curse user, they were surprised: he was a stranger who gave himself up without resistance. The meeting led to a conversation between Yuji and the person in charge, in which Yuji recalled a conversation with his master, Satoru Gojo, about losses and overcoming. Gojo had confessed his dreams and loves, but he knew that everything would end and that the others would move on. Yuji regretted that Gojo hadn't trusted others more, but assured him that he would never forget him.
Jujutsu Kaisen 271 manga ending
The final chapter ended with a nostalgic scene of the main characters, smiling as they went their separate ways. Ryomen Sukuna 's last finger remained intact in the same place it was found at the beginning of the story, ending a cycle and leaving many fans dissatisfied with the lack of a more impactful outcome.
The comparison with the end of Tokyo Revengers was inevitable from fans. Just like in Jujutsu Kaisen, the end of the story left many readers frustrated, without any major surprises or signs of a continuation. Many fans were hoping to see Satoru Gojo back or at least a more meaningful tribute after his tragic death in the final arc. However, the character only appeared in a brief flashback, leaving a void for those who were waiting for a more exciting Jujutsu Kaisen ending.
