The recent chapter of Jujutsu Kaisen sparked a wave of criticism among Japanese fans due to the way 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 the two-chapter resolution was rushed.

On social media, fan comments reflect a mix of surprise and disappointment. One user commented, "Jujutsu Kaisen had this vibe 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 rushed pace of the final events.

Another fan commented:

“Sukuna, in the end, was defeated very simply”

Suggesting that the final confrontation didn't live up to expectations in terms of emotion and narrative development. Furthermore, observations about the use of sorcery in the final battle also emerged, such as:

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

Many fans fear that in the next chapters, the story will move too quickly to the conclusion without properly exploring the aftermath of the battle.

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