Akutami Gege said that the manga will end in 2024.
It's estimated that there will only be 30-40 new chapters by the end of next year.
There's a good chance that many questions will remain unanswered.
Jump Festa 2024 brought us a lot of news about upcoming releases. But perhaps one of the biggest was Akutami Gege's announcement. This is not the first time when the Jujutsu Kaisen author talked about the story's end, this time it is planned for 2024. The announcement still shocked the fans, and a lot of discussions were raised. What are viewers afraid of, and is there any true reason to worry?
It seems there are some reasons
Since the Shibuya Incident Arc, the manga has been in an eventful phase. Now it seems to have reached its climax — the characters are fighting the main antagonist, and it's unlikely that the plot will take an unexpected turn and a new story will begin. News about the ending didn't come as a shock, as this isn't the first time Gege has talked about a finale — the manga was supposed to end by 2023.
However, fans were very upset. Of course, there are still so many stories to be told, and it's estimated that there will only be 30-40 new chapters. Considering that the biggest arcs had 50-60 chapters, the Shinjuku Showdown Arc (currently at 23 chapters) would be the last or penultimate arc.
Still, it's not entirely clear how Gege plans to end the story. What will happen to the main characters? Will there be an unexpected new villain? Will there be Sukuna's backstory? There are a lot of questions and it seems like it will take a long time to get a good answer. However, there are those who think this is a good decision, as many authors like to drag out stories and they become boring.
Most common questions
Many fans are eagerly awaiting Sukuna's backstory. If it is shown, it will be during the final battle or after all the events. However, there aren't many chapters, and the battle with Sukuna is in the active phase (many characters haven't shown their powers yet), so it's unclear if Gege has enough time for this plot.
Another related issue is Yuji's backstory. There have been many hints about his origins, but none of them have been revealed yet. Will we find out who his parents and grandfather were, and why he has a special connection to the main villain?
Perhaps the most exciting question is the character's fate. Gege has already talked about two possible endings — either all the main characters survive, or only one. Right now, it looks like we're in for a bad ending, but how exactly do we get to that conclusion, and will it be satisfying? Will Nobara appear and will Megumi be saved? Gege seems to be speeding up his story. There's a good chance that many questions will remain unanswered, and fans don't really like that.
News about Jujutsu Kaisen's completion? Again?
