We're saying a final goodbye to Yuji Itadori, Nobara Kugisaki, and Megumi Fushiguro, as Jujutsu Kaisen is about to publish its final chapter. After the devastating battle against Sukuna, the surviving students try to pick up the pieces, while readers wait with hope for some twist that will bring characters back to life. Although Gege Akutami has hinted at new projects, there's still no confirmation of an official sequel. With Jujutsu Kaisen ending Weekly Shonen Jump 's most popular shonen series , the impact on the manga and anime world will be significant.

- Fans are unhappy with the ending of Jujutsu Kaisen
In recent years, we've seen the conclusion of other major shonen series, such as Demon Slayer , The Promised Neverland , and even My Hero Academia, nearing its conclusion. With Jujutsu Kaisen wrapping up its run, Weekly Shonen Jump loses one of its best-selling titles since its debut in 2020. However, this doesn't mean the anime's end is near. MAPPA has already confirmed a third season, and it's likely that Yuji Itadori's story will last at least four more full seasons to conclude.
A Void in Shonen Jump
The absence of Jujutsu Kaisen will leave a void in the pages of Weekly Shonen Jump, especially considering the end of other series. While One Piece remains strong, Shueisha will need to find new powerhouses to fill this void. Fortunately, series like Sakamoto Days , Spy x Family , Chainsaw Man , Dandadan , and Kagurabachi have already achieved great popularity. With only two of these series already adapted into anime, the arrival of the others on TV should further increase their success.
Unsurpassed Jujutsu Kaisen
I say yes, although some series, like Dragon Ball and One Piece , have lasted decades, the impact of Jujutsu Kaisen, even after only a few years of publication, is undeniable. The story was unpredictable, and Akutami didn't hesitate to remove main characters when necessary, which kept fans on the edge of their seats. No one personified this unpredictability quite like Satoru Gojo. His popularity in fan polls was unparalleled, and many hope he'll return before the end. However, even if Gojo reappears, knowing we won't see the character as often again is a great loss.
Still, the world of anime and manga is vast, and new stories and characters will emerge to fill the void left by Jujutsu Kaisen. Want to follow the impact of this finale in Weekly Shonen Jump ?
