Among the most heated discussions is the possibility of a direct sequel. Many fans believe the plot ended abruptly in the final chapters , which generated some dissatisfaction. However, the editor's comment left open the possibility of Jujutsu Kaisen continuing in some way, whether through spin-offs or new stories.
Despite all the excitement, some fans prefer to be more cautious, remembering similar cases, such as My Hero Academia . At the time, it promised a "big announcement" with the final chapter, but it turned out to be just a popularity poll, leaving many followers disappointed.
Jujutsu Kaisen is one of the most popular series of recent years, with great success in both the manga and the anime adaptation. This has led many to speculate that the "happy announcements" at the end of the manga may be related to the anime's sequel.
While a direct sequel seems unlikely, Shueisha and the anime's producers still see great potential in Jujutsu Kaisen . Fans are eagerly awaiting September 29th (or perhaps a leak before then).
