This article contains spoilers from JJK Chapter 266.

The popular anime series, Jujutsu Kaisen, has maintained its momentum throughout the Final Saga, leaving fans thrilled by the exhilarating battles they’ve witnessed so far. Currently, the narrative is at its peak, with the intense confrontation between Yuji and Sukuna still unfolding. The creators have confirmed that Jujutsu Kaisen will conclude in 2024. Originally, the plan was for the manga to finish last year; however, due to uncertainty about whether the author could meet his deadline this time, fans were skeptical.

As a passionate gamer, I can’t hide my excitement about JJK, but let’s face it, the news of its upcoming conclusion is bittersweet. Frankly, it feels like Gege dropped this bombshell out of nowhere, and some fans, including myself, are finding it hard to accept. It’s a tough pill to swallow, but we’ll cherish every moment until the end.

Jujutsu Kaisen’s Current Arc

  • Jujutsu Kaisen Is Currently In Shinjuku Showdown

At present, Jujutsu Kaisen is unfolding the Shinjuku Showdown Arc, a thrilling segment that culminated in the epic confrontation between the King of Curses, Ryomen Sukuna, and Gojo. This anticipated battle was one fans had yearned for since the series’ inception, and it did not disappoint when it finally materialized at the climax. The duel between Gojo and Sukuna was a highlight in every manga chapter, undeniably the most exhilarating part of the narrative. Gojo demonstrated remarkable resilience against Sukuna, yet it was the 10 Shadows Technique that ultimately turned the tide, resulting in Gojo’s defeat and, tragically, his demise.

You were magnificent, Gojo Satoru! I shall never forget you! – Sukuna

This marked the end of the first act of the Shinjuku Showdown Arc, and from there onwards, fans got to see the other exciting battles in this saga. Once the sorcerers knew that they had lost their biggest advantage, they launched a raid against the king of curses. This raid was incredibly intense, and saw many powerful individuals face up against Sukuna, all showcasing their unique abilities that they had gained along the way. Sukuna was, of course, at the peak of his powers, and it was very difficult for them to hold their own against him. Little by little, however, the sorcerers did manage to whittle down his defenses, and eventually, that brought the fans to where they are right now. Jujutsu Kaisen is currently very exciting, as Yuji Itadori has awakened the Shrine cursed technique. This technique is very similar to that of Sukuna, and essentially, it has seen him grow tremendously in the story.

Beyond that, Yuji additionally mastered a remarkably potent skill, recognized by fans as Domain Expansion. Domain expansions represent the peak of cursed techniques, being integrated into barriers, and now, Yuji can utilize one himself. In a recent confrontation with Sukuna, he unveiled his domain, signifying that this long-standing battle is about to reach its resolution within it.

Gege Confirms Jujutsu Kaisen Is Ending In 5 Chapters

JJK’s Tentative Ending Date Is September 29, 2024

Currently, I’m deeply engrossed in the epic showdown between Sukuna and Yuji Itadori from JJK. This battle is nothing short of thrilling, with both characters giving it their all. Given that most sorcerers have already fallen and this battle seems to be the final one, fans have long expected this to be the climactic fight of the story. And it appears that we’re right on track, as the creator of JJK, Gege Akutami, has revealed that the story is about to wrap up. In a surprising announcement made on August 19th, 2024, it was confirmed to fans that Jujutsu Kaisen will conclude in just five more chapters.

Out of the blue, an announcement dropped that left fans reeling, as they knew something significant was coming for the story. Yet, none could have guessed that JJK would conclude so abruptly. Although the author had mentioned earlier that his manga would finish in 2024, many didn’t foresee such a swift conclusion at Jump Festa 2025. To everyone’s surprise, it wrapped up in merely five chapters, leaving most of the fanbase stunned. Here is Gege Akutami’s take on the end of JJK:

“In just five more chapters, I’ll bring the ‘Jujutsu Kaisen’ story to its conclusion – a feat made possible by your unwavering support and cooperation. Thank you from the bottom of my heart! I’m pouring every ounce of creativity into crafting an ending that will hopefully resonate with all who have joined me on this journey. So, dear readers, please bear with me as I work tirelessly to create a finale worthy of your investment!”

It’s apparent to spectators that the Jujutsu Kaisen series will culminate in a battle between Yuji and Sukuna. This confrontation seems poised to conclude within one or two more chapters. Following this, the narrative will shift towards exploring the story’s aftermath. As it currently stands, the conclusion of Jujutsu Kaisen is set for September 29, 2024, although this date may change based on the author’s breaks. Nonetheless, with only five chapters remaining, many fans feel that there isn’t enough time to properly wrap up the story according to their expectations.

How Will Jujutsu Kaisen End?

Jujutsu Kaisen Will End With The Defeat Of Ryomen Sukuna

At the moment, it’s challenging for fans to accurately guess how Jujutsu Kaisen will conclude due to the numerous unresolved plot points that suggest the author will require more than five chapters to tie up all the loose ends. For now, we know the fight between Yuji and Sukuna will persist, with Sukuna’s defeat being a strong possibility. However, whether or not Yuji will make it through this battle is still uncertain. What fans can confidently predict is that Megumi is highly likely to survive this battle. If he does, Jujutsu Kaisen might end with Megumi as the lone survivor of the group. Alternatively, both Yuji and Megumi could be the only ones who survive until the story’s end.

Could it be that you pity me, boy? – Sukuna

If the manga JJK concludes in just five more chapters, it’s clear that the planned merger won’t take place. This implies that the ongoing storyline will be abandoned, which is another surprising move by the author given how long he has been developing it. Additionally, many intriguing scenarios set up by the author himself will not come to fruition either. Instead, fans can expect to witness Sukuna’s defeat and a return of society to its original state. Essentially, the series will end much as it began, with only the downfall of the Curse King serving as a source of satisfaction for fans.

You can access Jujutsu Kaisen through Viz Media. Fans are able to read it officially and at no cost on the Shonen Jump and Manga Plus applications. The next chapter of JJK, or Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 267, is scheduled for release on August 25, 2024.

Will Yuta Survive The End Of Jujutsu Kaisen?

In this unusual situation, it’s Yuta Okkotsu who finds himself inhabiting Gojo’s physical form. Due to an encounter with Jacob’s Ladder, Yuta managed to live on.
