The ending of Jujutsu Kaisen answered many long-standing questions, but it also left fans with several mysteries. Among the biggest is the fate of Ryomen Sukuna’s 20th and final finger, one of the most important cursed objects in the series.
As the central antagonist behind many of the story’s major events, Sukuna played a crucial role throughout the manga. The search for his fingers drove the plot from the very beginning and shaped the journey of several key characters.
The Beginning of Yuji and Sukuna’s Story
Yuji Itadori’s journey began when he swallowed one of Sukuna’s fingers at his school, setting off a chain of supernatural events that changed his life forever. Because of this, it would be fitting if Sukuna’s final finger ended up hidden in the very place where everything started.
Jujutsu High May Be Guarding the Final Finger
Another popular theory suggests that the last finger is being protected by Jujutsu High in Tokyo. As one of the safest and most secure locations in the world of jujutsu sorcery, it would make sense for such a dangerous artifact to be stored deep within its grounds. Beyond containment, the finger’s residual cursed energy could help reinforce natural barriers against cursed spirits, adding another layer of protection for the school and its students.
Hidden in Tokyo or beyond:
On the other hand, the finger might still be somewhere in Tokyo. Thus, during the events of the Shinjuku Showdown, Nobara tries to buy time by hitting the finger, and it might still be there. Iconic locations like Aoyama Cemetery or Dogenzaka Alley offer perfect hiding places, keeping prying eyes away.
Although the last finger doesn't pose an immediate threat, it could still play a crucial role in the franchise's future, either as a barrier against curses or a key item in potential future storylines.
