After months of anticipation, the Jujutsu Kaisen concluded with chapter 271, leaving fans divided over the story's ending. Many expected a conclusion filled with the intense battles and emotions that characterized the series, but the final result was considered anticlimactic by some audiences.
- Jujutsu Kaisen 271: Manga confirms return of Satoru Gojo
- Jujutsu Kaisen 271: Sukuna's Secret Revealed at the End of the Manga
The previous chapter showed the aftermath of the epic battle in Shinjuku and revealed the fate of some important characters. Megumi Fushiguro appeared paying tribute to her sister Tsumiki alongside Shoko Ieiri , and then joined Yuji Itadori and Nobara Kugisaki on 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 no technique was active on the woman, indicating an extremely skilled curse user. From then on, the trio focused their efforts on locating the perpetrator. Nobara suggested moving away to weaken the technique's effect, but Yuji and Megumi disagreed on the best approach. After analyzing the curse's range, they managed to temporarily deactivate it, allowing the woman to see her fiancé's real face.
When they located the curse's user, they were met with a surprise: he was a stranger who surrendered without resistance. The encounter led to a conversation between Yuji and the person responsible, in which Yuji recalled a conversation with his master, Satoru Gojo, about loss and overcoming. Gojo had confessed his dreams and loves, but he knew it would all end and that the others would move on. Yuji regretted that Gojo hadn't trusted the others more, but assured him 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 remained intact in the same place it was found at the beginning of the story, closing a cycle and leaving many fans dissatisfied with the lack of a more impactful ending.
The comparison with the ending of Tokyo Revengers was inevitable among fans. As with Jujutsu Kaisen, the story's conclusion left many readers frustrated, with no major surprises or hints of a sequel. Many fans hoped 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 hoping for a more exciting Jujutsu Kaisen finale.
