A Jujutsu Kaisen Part 2 Could Allow Fans to Have Their Own Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero

A Jujutsu Kaisen Part 2 Could Allow Fans to Have Their Own Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero

As a dedicated fan who has journeyed through the supernatural realms of Jujutsu Kaisen, I can’t help but feel that our beloved series has left some loose ends dangling like a cursed spirit in the wind. The finale was as abrupt as Megumi Fushiguro’s sleep, leaving us fans yearning for more.


After wrapping up Jujutsu Kaisen, I find myself right in the thick of the fanbase’s discussions, as many of us are divided due to some letdown over the ending’s treatment of certain characters. But as we reevaluate the series’ impact and legacy following this mixed reception, there’s a growing sense that a sequel series might be on the horizon, offering an opportunity to tackle those lingering questions.

The sales success of Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero demonstrates the interest in daring reinterpretations of established anime franchises, with much of its popularity stemming from its expansive character roster. Despite Jujutsu Kaisen having a smaller cast compared to Dragon Ball, it lacks a follow-up like DBZ or GT. Introducing a new series sequel for JJK could potentially rectify some aspects of its hurried conclusion and broaden the universe, paving the way for future games with larger character lineups.

A Jujutsu Kaisen Sequel Series Could Alleviate Some of Its Ending’s Major Criticisms

Unresolved Questions and Seemingly Incomplete Character Arcs

Instead of abruptly ending, the series could have delved deeper into various aspects such as Kenjaku and Tengen’s relationship, the impact of the Culling Game on the world, Yuji Itadori’s family background, Domain Expansion, and the destiny of clans like Gojo and Kamo. Although some of these topics were touched upon in the final chapter, it still leaves a sense that they were set up for more dramatic conclusions than what transpired.

Allowing Yuji Itadori to Fill Gojo Satoru’s Role in the Future

In a potential sequel of “Jujutsu Kaisen”, if the story jumps forward in time, it wouldn’t be surprising to see a new group of sorcerers emerging alongside the reappearance of older characters now acting as mentors. Yuji might take on the role previously held by Gojo in the sequel, allowing him to fulfill the expectations set by the ending and pay tribute to Gojo’s legacy following his death. A successful second part could boost the series’ reputation, and also provide a rich cast for a potential arena fighter adaptation down the line.

Letting the JJK Franchise Grow to Its Full Potential Across Mediums

2024 saw the launch of “Jujutsu Kaisen: Cursed Clash”, but its disappointing reception has left it largely forgotten in the arena fighter genre. The game fell short on both mechanical and visual aspects compared to its full price, and with only 16 characters at launch in a 2v2 format, the roster quickly became repetitive. Even seven DLC fighters weren’t enough to raise its standard to that of its peers. However, if a sequel series-based game were developed with a larger roster similar to post-time-skip “Jujutsu Kaisen”, a new approach could potentially replicate the successful blend of fan service and competence demonstrated by “Sparking Zero”.

The wide selection of characters in popular arena fighters is a significant factor that attracts players, and there are numerous options available even excluding the somewhat overhyped characters from Jujutsu Kaisen, who haven’t been included in any game yet.
