Jujutsu Kaisen: How A Sequel Can Save Yuji, Megumi And Nobara

As a devoted follower of Jujutsu Kaisen for years now, I can confidently say that the series has a golden opportunity to further flesh out its main characters with a sequel. Having witnessed the incredible potential these three protagonists have shown throughout their journey, it’s time they step into the limelight and live up to their reputation as the leaders of the next generation.


This article contains spoilers from Jujutsu Kaisen’s Shinjuku Showdown Arc.

Key Takeaways

  • Yuji, Megumi, and Nobara need more character development.
  • A sequel can explore the trio’s true potential.
  • Without Gojo, the main trio can shine and lead the series further.

The anime series Jujutsu Kaisen concluded some time back, leaving many viewers feeling that the story could have been expanded further, had the creator’s health allowed for it. Despite the fulfilling ending for some, the series still holds immense potential and a sequel series would undoubtedly be celebrated by fans.

Readers understand that whether or not JJK continues is entirely up to the author, Gege. Although it’s been confirmed that he will return at some point, there’s still uncertainty about whether his return will involve a continuation of Jujutsu Kaisen or a new series altogether. It seems likely that Gege might write a new story since if he intended to continue Jujutsu Kaisen, fans would have been informed by now. However, if a sequel were ever to come out, it would undoubtedly excite fans and potentially address some unresolved issues in the series’ ending, particularly concerning Yuji, Megumi, and Nobara.

The Potential Of The Three Main Characters In Jujutsu Kaisen

  • Yuji Itadori Has Hardly Controlled His Powers
  • Megumi and Nobara Have A Lot Of Catching Up To Do

It’s fair to note that Gege crafted remarkably intriguing characters in Yuji, Megumi, and Nobara, each unique from the start. While Yuji, our lead character, sought to rescue numerous people and be enveloped by those he cherished, achieving this goal yet leaving fans eager for more of his potential. Megumi was renowned for his potential to become one of the strongest, if not the strongest, characters in the series, a promise left unfulfilled as well. Nobara, being among the trio of main characters, initially seemed to be absent from the narrative, only reappearing at the climax and for a few additional chapters afterwards. It’s clear that these three key characters in JJK could have benefited from further development, and fans eagerly anticipate a sequel to expand their stories.

The next generation won’t stop at Special Grade! – Gojo

For Yuji’s supporters, it’s clear that a continuation of “Jujutsu Kaisen” would be fantastic news. At present, Yuji remains an incomplete character within the series, having vanquished Sukuna but still falling short of his maximum potential. As a student at Jujutsu High, he continues to study and master various aspects of cursed energy to grow stronger. This aspect of the series ending leaves fans wanting more, as they anticipated Yuji would reach a higher level and fully unveil his true potential towards the finale. Regrettably, this can only be realized in a sequel, making such a continuation crucial.

For Megumi, there’s a strong argument for a sequel. Unlike the events of the story, Megumi made his appearance near the final stages of the battle, contributing minimally to Sukuna’s defeat and then resuming normal life with his friends. However, it’s worth noting that if Megumi fully unlocked his potential, which is said to be on par with Gojo’s, it was never explored further in the story.

Megumi struggled to finish his domain expansion and hadn’t mastered his own cursed technique; there are numerous issues with his character development in JJK manga, and his growth potential is sadly underutilized. A future installment of the series will likely address these concerns effectively, providing fans with a more satisfying portrayal of this well-liked character.

Nobara’s Sad Reality In JJK

It seems that among the three characters, Nobara appeared to have the least development, especially after being excluded from events in Shibuya, only reappearing at the end to deliver a single blow against the King of Curses before disappearing again. Her character arc, in essence, was significantly diminished around the events of Shibuya, leaving her more as a necessary presence rather than an evolving character by the story’s conclusion.

Indeed, it was logical for Nobara to reappear since her death wasn’t definitively proven. However, fans were not entirely satisfied with how she returned and her role within JJK in the larger context. A sequel could significantly improve Nobara’s character if the author possesses the skill to portray her effectively.

As a devoted fan, I can’t help but express my excitement for the upcoming sequel of Jujutsu Kaisen, and here’s why: it presents an extraordinary opportunity for three key characters to truly shine! With Gojo’s tragic demise confirmed throughout the series, it opens up the stage for others. Though his absence leaves a profound emptiness, it also offers a fresh perspective that viewers like myself have been eagerly awaiting.

In this part of the story, the series soared to unprecedented heights, outdoing itself as Yuji continuously displayed phenomenal powers during the fight. However, any future installment of JJK may not feature Gojo, implying that the other characters will likely take center stage. This is intriguing for fans since these three characters are expected to become leaders of the next generation and strive for greatness among the top sorcerers. As they step into the limelight without a mentor like before, their growth will be self-directed, offering the author an opportunity to delve deeper into their stories and character development. This independent progression could lead to remarkable advancements in their roles.

The Main Characters Of JJK Living Up To Their Reputation

Jujutsu Kaisen’s Trio Can Still Shine

If JJK receives a follow-up, it would provide the primary trio from the series an opportunity to maintain their esteemed status. Readers are well aware that these characters possess the skills necessary to achieve fame on par with Gojo. In truth, Megumi has already demonstrated his popularity worldwide, and if the author chooses to develop him as he did up until the halfway point of the Culling Game, then this character will undoubtedly be a joy to observe.

Just like I eagerly anticipate my own growth and development into a powerful player, so too will Yuji and Nobara continue to thrive and reach their full potential in any future installments of JJK. For Nobara, this means unraveling more about herself and the world around her, while also leveling up significantly. The author has the final say, but a sequel would be a fantastic way to honor all three characters and keep us fans hooked.

At long last, Chapter 271 of Jujutsu Kaisen, the highly anticipated one, was published on September 29, 2024. Readers can enjoy the series on the Manga Plus and Shonen Jump mobile applications.
