The recent chapter of Jujutsu Kaisen has generated a wave of criticism among fans in Japan due to how the final battle against Sukuna ended. This chapter also marked the long-awaited return of Megumi Fushiguro and Nobara Kugisaki to the main trio. However, fans felt that the resolution in just two chapters was rushed.

On social media, fan comments reflect a mix of surprise and disappointment. One user mentioned: “Jujutsu Kaisen had an atmosphere of 'In just 5 chapters, everything will be resolved?', but suddenly it turned into 'What are they going to do in the next 3 chapters?'”. This highlights the confusion and concern about the accelerated pace of the final events.

Another fan commented:

"Sukuna was ultimately defeated in a very simple way."

This suggests that the final confrontation did not meet expectations in terms of emotion and narrative development. Furthermore, observations regarding the use of sorcery in the final battle also emerged, such as:

In the confrontation between Hakari and Uraume, everyone is resurrected by Takaba's spell after dying, and Zenin Naoya was revived by some mistake.

Many fans fear that, in the upcoming chapters, the story will move quickly toward its conclusion without adequately exploring the consequences of the battle.

Finally, the reviews reflect a widespread concern that the series' climax did not live up to the expectations created throughout the plot. Comment below and stay tuned to AnimeNews for more updates on Jujutsu Kaisen and other anime!
