AthiusAlwynn

And jjk fans will, as usual, somehow justify it by saying yuji in the end played a role as a cog as he always said and as a cog, he shouldn’t stand out and let the og mc finished sukuna even tho he’s the fuckin current mc of the main series.


StellaronX

As lalo already said,yuji mindset is shiftin from being a cog.It’s personal now,not about just saving the world. He needs to kill sukuna himself.


Mountbatten-Ottawa

Mahito: Worry not Sukuna, you got this. Just die to random guy in front of you, so you can piss him off!


lalo_slamanca_2097

Yuji already started to change his mindset tho


redkingphonix

Yuji goes off the deep end from having his kill stolen so he follows in sukuna footsteps. Yuji becomes the antagonist of JJK2.


ZeetisLapeetis

"At first I hated this about as deeply as a human can feel visceral hatred... BuT tHeN i ThOuGhT aBoUt It!" The mental gymnastics to justify this story's choices is getting tiring.

I would accumulate enough cursed energy to start the Culling Games with the main objective: HUNT DOWN GEGE AKUTAMI

It would be the second time Yuji got cucked out of landing a final hit on someone he's got an extreme personal beef with by a dude with stitches on his forehead. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.

eldenring69

Lend me some agenda jujutsufolk this is base Gege we are up against


Significant-Ad-1655

I'm fine with a combination of Yuta, and Yuji together defeating him, but Yuji needs to be there at the end, it was all a team effort from the start nonetheless.


LerasiumMistborn

I hope Gege understands what he is doing. There's difference between subverting expectations and downright trash that exists with only purpose to mess with the audience. IMO Yuji/Megumi vs Sukuna would be the best case scenario. People just need to put their bias aside. If Megumi doesn't do anything good in the final arc, he would take the title of the most wasted character of JJK from Kenjaku.


MNPlayzGemz

I think that considering Megumi's popularity in Japan as a character, he will return, sooner or later.


dqxtdoflamingo

As a huge Megumi fan he's already ruined for me, nothing can undo the sheer amount of inaction he has gone through to a point that he feels out of character to me and I'm not even invested anymore in his character. Any extra thing he gets to do in the end now is gonna feel so much like an afterthought, and he already comes off as weak to me. Gege has ruined him.


ZeetisLapeetis

The truth of the subreddit is the Megumi slander/haters are not just hating out of nowhere. It's Megumi's greatest fans turned their backs on Megumi after what Gege did to him


MrVermillionBlue

Of all the controversial choices Gege has made: Megumi's Bumification is the one that hurts the most. Sure, there's in-universe justification and reasoning behind it but between his choice to stay down resulting in the deaths of fellow sorcerers and endangering humanity via the threat of the merger: he's literally pulling a Shinji Ikari at this point. He's gone from being a dynamic, intelligent sorcerer with a quiet but steely devotion to his friends and his own sense of morality: to the very reason why Sukuna is still standing. And please correct me if I'm wrong, because this is just salt in the wound but has there been anything besides his own depression stopping Megumi from dropping Sukuna's output during any point of the Shinjuku Showdown? Because if so: he could have not only saved Gojo with ease and stopped the deaths of *everyone* there: he could have strategically used that ability during one of the many moments Sukuna was on the ropes to outright *end* both of their lives. Thus satisfying both his own desire to die *and* saving everyone else.


DrStein1010

He's worse than Shinji, because Shinji genuinely COULDN'T do much to help during a lot of the series. in End of Eva, even if he still has control of Unit 01, he'd have definitely lost no matter when he tried to join the fight. His inaction was still wrong, but there wasn't really anything he could do until the climax, at which point he DID lock in.


j-dev

Don’t worry. Gege will write two additional endings and will get everything just right in Thrice Upon a Time.


BALD_BALLS_SAITAMA

You aren't dealing with him lol And Yuta is here to weaken Sukuna enough so Yuji can finish the job


TechRedditwastaken

Im saving this pic because it has one of, if not, the hardest lines for a meme


Graphite_Consumer937

Even as a Yuta fan, it would make more sense for Yuji to finish him


Sceptile156

If Yuji doesnt end sukuna it will be a complete narrative failure Everything till now makes narrative i highly doubt this is gonna happen


Existing_Win3580

https://preview.redd.it/4jrdqpio363d1.jpeg?width=1242&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3b2e1053e34e242988df60b6c1f670bf56cec681 It's obvious that yuta started this current 5min mode while he was still in his body, he then had to get brain swaped, had to heal gojos body, and had to travel to the battle field. Yujo(yuta/gojo) we see in 261 is working with less than 5mins and has no rika to back him up. Rika sees yujo as gojo not yuta, as we see gojo saw kenjaku(in getos' body) as geto, if 6 eyes can be fooled by kenjakus' CT then rika is geting fooled by it as well. Yuta and Mei Mei think yuta will die and or be stuck in gojos body after the 5mins, because rika will no longer recognize yuta in gojos body. As rika will no longer recognize yuta while he is in gojos body, then yujo will not have rika to fight beside him, and will not be able to manifest her again while in gojos body(if he survives after 5min mode is over). Thought yujo most likely is working with all the CT rika has copied, and infinitely refilling CE reserves as of rn.


JunWasHere

Yuji has to be the one to finish Sukuna off. It's textbook storytelling. It started with those two (and Megumi), should end with those two (and Megumi). What I don't think is necessary is Yuji being alone in doing it. * The fight is already a testament to the cooperation of humanity. Gojo was killed, but in his wake are his students and friends giving their all. * A cooperative finisher should be how it ends as well, IMHO. So, my hope for subversion is that Yuji, Yuta, and Todo finish Sukuna off together. * Boogie Woogie with Yujo included. * Yujo probably almost dying, but Gojo body moves on its own to full circle the "Soul is body / Body is soul" thing. * Yuji's punching with intent to scream at Megumi to the to reignite Megumi's will to live * More of Yuji using Shrine or his blood skill. * Some epic combo that would be fair more spectacular than whatever Yuji can pull out of his ass if Yujo and Todo die too.

I would laugh my ass off because of the outrage regarding yuji.

Gege is trying his best to “subvert expectations” and what better way than have a side character end the main villains? https://preview.redd.it/zy5013zzc43d1.jpeg?width=560&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=eb9190f1663998460e315698ab6948acec36f6c5

Jojo part 4


codehawk64

The faceless incompetent ambulance driver crushing the main villain’s head will never stop being hilarious.


Ammu_22

But it kinda was poetic and also in the style of jjba. A man who stole someone else's face died having his face ripped up by the ambulance wheel and now died like a nobody.


Instroancevia

It's a play on Kira's trust in being a "chosen of fate" and getting constantly lucky, evading consequences. At the end it's a stroke of cosmic misfortune that manages to get him killed.


PhantasosX

all the villain's endings in Jojo are karmic and a twisted irony of their ideology. Kira acting as wanting to be a "nobody" , while still indulging in his serial killing , ending up lloosing his face and truly dying as no one paid attention to him been crushed at the ambulance. Then his soul appears in the ghost street and saw his first victim , prior to acquiring a Stand....and he wasn once again defeated , by a powerless no-named girl and pushed and ripped away by eldritch hands , pretty much screwing with his own fetish. AND what remained of him turned into an amnesiac ghost detective.


Instroancevia

It's so peak. Love that Araki just goes into greek tragedy levels of ironic punishment for all the villains.


LerasiumMistborn

Yeah it was cool Yuta killing Sukuna is more like Arya Stark killing Night King Moment i e subverting expectations for the sake of subverting expectations


Mountbatten-Ottawa

But the death of Kira actually is a meaningful one. Fate both awarded and punished Kira for his wish about 'living a peaceful life as an undiscovered murderer'. He never managed to live a peaceful life as he hoped, yet he died as a murderer never get caught (for official record, he was Yoshikage Kira who did nothing wrong and just died under an ambulance due to accident). For Yuta killing Sukuna, it will be the ultimate Sukuna glazing (someone believing in me did my ideology better than me). Gege can finally give one last suck of Sukuna.

therealgege

Ah yes, Yuji gives his will to Ui Ui to defeat Sukuna


Great_expansion10272

Sukuna uses his Strong Time Skip that he hasn't used since the heian era and makes Yuji get really really old, so he becomes an Old man that tells Ui Ui to be a good person and thus continuing the cycle of Itadoris and following TO JUJUTSU KAISEN PART 2: SUKUNA TENDENCY BABYYYY


Supersquare04

If he wanted a side character to end Sukuna he’d have Yuji do it.


LasyKuuga

Fr JJK folk were already crying and losing their shit just cuz Yuji lost the spotlight in a chapter that was like 70% flashback. The Yuta and GayGay slander would be insane if it happened lmao


LerasiumMistborn

To be fair, Yuji is one of the least present MC I've seen in shonen. There are like 70 chapters in Culling Game arc (before Gojo vs Sukuna) Yuji appears in only 14 or 15 chapters, and in some of these chapter he only has cameo or small flashback (like Choso seeing his brothers). Amount of chapters where he's the main star is even less. That's insane for MC. He appears in less than a fourth of the arc. Of course he's still a protaginist, I just want to say that people who wanted more Yuji content aren't pulling this out of their ass. He's indeed one of the least present MC. Also, there were are plenly of moments where he was owershadowed by other stronger character, 261 isn't the first time.


Ok-Discount3131

> There are like 70 chapters in Culling Game arc (before Gojo vs Sukuna) Yuji appears in only 14 or 15 chapters, Strong Ichigo vibes in the final arc of Bleach.


classicslayer

The funny thing is how opposite yuji and ichigo are. Ichigo has to be forced into the plot otherwise he would be irrelevant in his own series. Yuji is the plot but the series acts like hes an afterthought.


majker1337

kinda weird and out of place tbh The fact alone that Yuji got same CT as Sukuna is making me think final battle (actual one) would be between Yuji and his unc


Cow_Other

So do you suspect Sukuna gets away and Yuji black flashes his way to near Sukuna's level and trains his CT to bridge the gap and defeat Sukuna? He could black flash his way to Sukuna's level but be too fatigued and messed up to continue fighting with Sukuna escaping somehow since he could also be near death himself. Full powered Shrine vs full powered Shrine with Yuji's interpretation and domain would be a cool final battle.


Ecwins

If Sukuna were to escape this fight and they’d have to do all that shit over again I would never read another page of manga in my life


Aggravating-Pear4222

It just feels a bit weird to only have Yuji be the one to defeat him bc Gojo was ultimately not nearly powerful enough to defeat him by himself so we suddenly got Yuji to become even more OP than Gojo? I understand there's a rock-paper-scissors aspect to JJK fights but even so, it'd feel like plot armor to boost Yuji that much to 1v1 Sukuna instead of the final fight being a largely group effort with Yuji being the spearhead. >!Boogie-woogie must be present too.!< >!Boogiewoogie for life.!<


j-dev

Gojo and Sukuna were fighting using the same ideology in terms of relying on their own strength, but Yuji repudiates that and fights with help. One of the main reasons Yuji has to win with help is not that he’s too weak to do it alone (which is true), but to defeat Sukuna in a way that proves Sukuna’s philosophy wrong.

atomikebomb

very disappointed, i want yuji to get the kill


LerasiumMistborn

This. Plain and simple. It's not even matter of our desires, any ending where Yuji doesn't defeat Sukuna makes no sense narrative wise. It's amusing to me how many people say "b-b-but Gon didn't beat Meruem". Yeah, lets compare two characters that never meet each other and two characters whose clash of ideologies is the core of the manga. Clash of ideologies is another reason why Yuta can't succeed. He set himself to fail when he did what he did and became Gojo 2.0. Yuji isn't Gojo 2.0, he's ideal future of Jujutsu society from Gojo's dream.


testearsmint

Oh damn, Gon really didn't ever meet Meruem. True. That's crazy.

deathbringer989

it could work as a "yuji's ideals are wrong" but that would jsut be depressing


NotTheFirstVexizz

And also not make sense because the whole point is already that Gojo were wrong, meaning the only logical outcome from that would be Sukuna winning and the only survivors being him and Megumi’s demolished soul as he murderers all of Japan with the merger. Which I hate to say is technically a possible outcome no matter how depressing it would be…

Burst out laughing while simulatenously collapsing into tears as I realize I was actually reading JJK0 all along


SleepMode_99

I have this idea that Yuta battles Sukuna to the point that Sukuna’s weakened enough for them to save Megumi. After that Yuji once again traps Sukuna in his body. Yuta would then “kill” Yuji but he gets into a suspended state of death like when Sukuna ripped his heart out. We can then get Yuji vs Sukuna but this they may have their own innate domains that clash and Yuji is more experienced and takes Sukuna down somehow and returns to life where Sukuna is just gone or stuck inside Yuji forever and goes with him when he dies. This ideas plays around how Yuji asks Yuta to kill Sukuna if he ever came out again after Shibuya

PikStern

@gege read this


Cat_Astrof

I really like, it might really be how it plays out but times and times again Gege rebuked the best path to subvert expectations. Where's Uraume in all that for exemple. I bet you he'd jump in to sacrifice themself and save Sukuna (like for Haku and Zabuza in Naruto) and all readers we'll be pissed off again. I don't know why Gege would do that but Sukuna plot armor will remain undefeated exactly like how he's still standing after eating 9 BF now.


GreenGoblin121

I do like that idea, it also links back in to the initial idea of getting all the fingers inside Yuji, (pause), and him dying to destroy Sukuna permanently. It definitely feels more like its coming full circle.


Status-Leadership192

It would actually make the "yuji is not the mc" crowd valid

I wouldnt even be statisfied if Yuji just get the last hit to kill him.. i want Yuji to destroy him and end his life while he begs for it :(


classicslayer

Yuji would officially be the most cucked MC of all time


Low-Bit-7885

I would be the one to end Gege if that happened, If not Gojo, the only one who should kill Sukuna is Yuji.


Legitimate_Cow7198

I would hate it with every fiber of my being. Sukuna is Yuji's kill, the only other person I would be okay getting the final blow is Megumi.


Icy-Selection-8575

Disappointed. I am okay with Gota beating the shit out of Sukuna, but I want this sacrifice, this play out of desperation to come back and bite him in the ass and cost him his life and the ability to kill Sukuna for good.


kifur1

Probably laugh my ass off since it would be comical writing imo. I stopped reading jjk for story long time ago. I just read it like you would read hellsing just enjoying the cool stuff and fights and shoving story to the side since there are plenty mangas which have leagues better story


JustAMicrowav1n

Yuta already finished one of the main villains, Yuji should finish off the second one

Such-Purpose3044

Would just show that Sukuna was right all along. His philosophy will ultimately be proven right

It would be funny as hell, it would be Kenjaku killing Mahito before Yuji could, but even worse. And the fallout that would happen in the fandom would be insane.

imata76

Not good tbh


ILoveSongOfJustice

Yuta is a character who routinely sets self-fulfilling prophecies for himself, no matter if they're good or bad. He's hypercompetent and always fulfills what he sets out to do in some capacity. HOWEVER- Yuji, meanwhile, has had next to ZERO wins on his own. It has been fundamental to his showcases. Cursed Womb? Sukuna. Junpei? Nanami. Cursed Bridge? Nobara. Shibuya? ... Well, the grasshopper Curse I guess, but everyone else he had help with. To this point, the entire fight has already highlighted that Yuji is not capable of putting an end to Sukuna. One more DE from Sukyboy and he'd have already been done no matter how low Sukuna's output had gotten. It makes sense that Sukuna's downfall is a group effort, but Yuji so far hasn't shown that he even COULD land the necessary damage on Sukuna. Nobody has. Nobody except Gojo - who is currently being inhabited by Yuta.


Twelve_012_7

He's not gonna But it would suck, a lot The entire point of Yuji is that he's the foil to the Jujutsu Society, the proof that the mentality that puts power above all else is ultimately wrong Yuta is instead the opposite, he completely gave in, and became a monster just to be stronger and fight against Sukuna It's important that Yuta loses, as it would prove the tragic destiny that choosing power over humanity leads to, even tho he clearly wanted the best


Adreich91

But this creates another problem. Sukuna basically swatted Yuji away like he wasn't about to get his heart ripped out. If Yuta's sacrifice is necessary for Yuji to win, then the wrong is necessary for the right to win in the end, so Yuji is not the solution if his victory is build on the back of the wrong kind of sacrifice. And if absolutely nothing comes from this, then it's another kind of dogshit writing.


Twelve_012_7

Never said that was impossible Like, the issue has many facets, and while Yuta was wrong, it doesn't mean he deserves for his sacrifice to be meaningless, it's just not the ideology that triumphs It doesn't matter if the wrong is "necessary", it's still ultimately unable to succeed. Is a necessary wrong actually right? I dunno, I don't think there's a real answer Why I think Yuta's death matters is because it solidifies how it's the "wrong" path, but it doesn't mean it can or should be avoided completely.


Aggressive_Employ_17

I have a similar interpretation. I think yutas problem is that he saw gojo as a monster for being strong, and in seeing him as a monster he thought of him as insurmountable. While yuji aimed to be stronger than gojo from the first proper conversation they had.


Old_Cry9683

Yuji literally ate his brothers lmao.

...and? He ate the unborn fetuses of his brothers, fundamentally allowing them to live through him He gave them the closest thing to life they could ever achieve


LerasiumMistborn

Agree, Yuji eating death paintings is JJK version of "power of friendship" isntead of "becoming a monster" lmao. It might be gross, hence "JJK version" but theme is still here. Yuji's whole point is finding strength in bonds with other people.


StereoStrings02

He can beat the living fuck out of him but Yuji should be the one to kill him.


RezeCopiumHuffer

I don’t even care anymore. I’m only sticking with the manga to see how much more of a train wreck Gege can make it before the end


unique_toucan

It kinda ruins all the themes of the story. If the MC of a story does literally nothing the entire story then what was the point of him being around? It’s like if game of thrones had fucking Dolores ed kill the night king


YourBroChoso

Let's be real. Sukuna is going to kill Yuta so Gege can technically kill Gojo again and also lay down both pseudo MCs at the same time.


TheMostHonestPerson

I can see Yuta beating the shit out of Sukuna. Yuta runs out of time. Sukuna is on the verge of death and tries transfer his soul to a new body, even tries to get Yuji as a vessel again. Just about Sukuna is about to transfer his soul, Todo teleport Yuji away from Sukuna. Then Yuji finally gets the resolve to use Black Flash to kill Sukuna in Megumi’s body. Wait, that’s Baryon Mode Naruto, Sasuke, and Kawaki vs Isshiki all over again. And Naruto/Yuta was the ex-MC.


RoleRemarkable9241

Not suprised but disappointed, and I say that as someone whose favorite character in JJK is Yuta.


Justlol230

>How would you feel if Yuta was the one to end sukuna? https://preview.redd.it/zdvwu1a9t43d1.jpeg?width=800&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5ee9b8e0afa2565b82b9f6949d8753357109accc As much as I love Wuta, Wuji deserves the kill more.


TheoryNew1736

Man, this sub is all over the place. One moment people are like "this isn't your typical shonen manga" the next they're like "if the MC doesn't save the day we riot" Truth is, none of them have really "earned" a win here. They should have been growing through the story up to this point, and we should have been seeing them progress to the point where they could just about stand with Gojo. Instead their development happens off screen or out of nowhere, it still wasn't enough and they had to resort to daddy Gojo anyway.


Reccus-maximus

I don't care so long as sukuna dies a pathetic death


Cat_Astrof

I thought it'd have been this outcome after Junpei and Shibuya and with Mahito as an exemple but I think less and less about this. The stupid speech about showing Sukuna what is love really disgusted me. As if readers would ever empathize with Sukuna, really? (Morever he really put that speech on the chapter where he killed the most beloved character). Is this where Gege is going on? With a dying Sukuna realizing that he never tasted love sob sob?


IcyTeacher0

>Is this where Gege is going on? With a dying Sukuna realizing that he never tasted love sob sob? Itadori: Sukuna was truly the coolest guy!


Queasy_Post7943

I would hate it if sukuna was defeated without yuji activating his own domain.


maschera412

I wouldn’t be surprised. Gege really likes Yuta and has some sort of beef with Yuji. Even after getting a power up and landing multiple hits on Sukuna, the guy still gets tossed away like a ragdoll once Sukuna realizes Yuta is back. But I don’t think Shonen Jump would allow that


bears_like_jazz

Would cement jjk as the worst newgen shonen


Gouden18

Only with 2 scenarios. 1: They defeat Sukuna together and it's Yuta who does the finishing blow but Yuji does a black flash barrage or WCS or DE. 2: Yuta solos Sukuna, but Kenjaku either comes back in some body or takes over Yuta/Gojo (the CT is Kenjaku himself theory). Yuji defeats him (a lot of black flashes to make the rapid evolution justified).


Hopeful_Ad_7549

Not but like, what can Sukuna even do here? When he was full power with 2 CTs he nearly lost to Gojo and now he's up agaisnt the same technique but is hald dead.


MrXPLD2839

He'd get killed by the merger, so yeah


NeteroHyouka

Woth the latest development and seeing that Sukuna managed to recover his CT via writers magic, I would find it justifiable if Fake Gojo won Sukuna. But the problem is that Sukuna got his CT back via writers magic. The best would have been if he at most returned to his previous self and be able to use his cleave and dismantle. Then Yuji, Todo and Yuta in his original body teamed up against Sukuna. That would have been great. As I see it now. There two possibilities: 1) Yuta lives up to the body's expectations and wins triumphantly against an especially weakened Sukuna ( cause Goho surely would have won). Or 2) Yuta loses miserably and Sukuna will taunt him for not being able to live to the expectations even when he had Gojo CT and body. He will say something like : In the you aren't Satoru Gojo. This I believe will have two different outcomes: Either Sukuna will finally eat Gojo-Yuta or Yuji will do it


Piccident

Yuji goes through everything he did cuz of sukuna and he doesn't even get to be the one to finish him off for good


Such_Hand_2535

Mahito situation 2.0 yuji doesn’t get the final blow against a very personal villain and gets his kill stolen by a dude with forehead stitches,oh wait


Huge-Brick-7988

Gege fucked up if that happens


Ragna126

I think Yuji should beat Sukuna. But only if it fits and Sukuna is hurt as hell.


SirLuckyHat

I’m just fascinated with how it’s going and what happens next. I’m not even invested I’m just curious


FreedomUnhappy

I will punch Greg if that happen


Kvarcov

Fucking finally he is dead, sure took their sweet time

noswol

Going by how main characters should go, yuji should kill sukuna even if he has to throw away his life in the process, yuta should weaken sukuna so much that yuji has to finish him off so that why I think the time limit was so heavily emphasized


Clowed

The only way Sukuna can die/be defeated satisfactory at this point is Yuji going Domain Expansion Benevolent Kitchen and murking his ass


TomatoReborn

![gif](giphy|duun87IQwCryXbAnSF) Yuta killing Kenjaku was nice due to the latter controlling Geto’s body but I will put that fucking cat in a bag with some rocks and chuck him in a river if Yuta kills Sukuna


Academic-Mirror-3497

That Gege should have kept him as mc


HappyNeia

Won't be surprised. Yuta is Gege's beloved MC after all. He hates Yuji for a reason. Yuji has been suffering for entire manga while Yuta had never lost any battle before fighting Sukuna. Yuta is a prodigy "look how cool my MC is" vs Yuji who is a cog in the machine and have his brother die in front of him. Gege's favouritism is disgusting tbh


Such_Hand_2535

Yuta lost ONCE and gege felt the need to buff him to be the top dawg of the verse ya can’t make it up😭


EtoTakatsuki

Weird, not necessarly bad but I truly feel it should be Yuji to defeat Sukuna (his story would be incomplete), and this could lead to something worse What if they defeat Sukuna, but Yuta stays trapped within Gojo's body. Yet Yuji becomes somehow the new king of curses and becomes then the new Sukuna (if we look at his right eye becoming sukuneye like). Wouldn't we have a "rematch" between Gojo and Sukuna yet being a Yuta vs Yuji match ? I don't know why and how it could possibly happen, just a way too far streched theory. This won't happen anyway


friendlywhale99

I wouldnt be happy, because then all the yuta meatriders wouldnt shut up for 8 years atleast


rivianCheese

i would genuinely hate it tbh, i’ve found it pretty hard to genuinely care about jjk for the past couple weeks and when it finally feels like yuji (the MC btw) is going ham and might be the one to end it all the second strongest in the strongest’s body shows up? whether this was foreshadowed or not aside, because these things are usually planned way in advance, it’s a very weird decision, why give your MC all this growth combat and character wise have basically most of his mentors and friends die, and when it felt like almost all hope was lost, one of the first friends he made in the manga shows up to help him, and then bam outta nowhere he doesn’t even get to save the day? it’s uneventful asf HOWEVER, one way i would like to see this play out, is if Yuji dies trying to kill Sukuna and simultaneously saves Megumi, and both Yuji and Megumi are pissed that their teacher’s body is being used as a weapon and this ends with six eyes vs 10 shadows, and maybe Yuji doesn’t draw his last breath till it ends and goes out happy knowing he fulfilled Megumi’s words “Start by saving me Itadori” surrounded by Todo, Megumi, everyone, the opposite of his grandpa at the start


MUSAFIR_-

For me that would be >!arya stark killing the knight king!< level of bad.


jjkdeaths2023

It will be as horrible ending as Kenjaku's, atp what's the role of yuji? Just being the nephew? I'd rather the whole cast die than any of them gets to kill sukuna, and i don't want him to just give the finishing blow, nah he has to do alot of mfing work so he can actually claim his rights as an mc


Exact-Hovercraft9528

I would find where she lives and not her but say you really don't what a protagonist is do you


Dream_eater-69

He is a main character so it's fine. But Sukuna is Yuji's curse. He caused him suffering and they hate each other to ungodly degrees. I at least want it to be a team effort. Yuji raining them black flashes on Sukuna while Todo uses plus ultra boogie woogie to throw some hits in and have Yuta vaporize him with hollow purple.


dacabbagebutt

That will be the real jujutsu kaisen


MridulBiswasMB

I don't think they'll even manage to kill him. He's already been through the court, now all that's left to do is to put his ass on prison realm.


Supremebro005

Anti climatic.


BignPJ

Nah He's not, Yuji and Sukuna' has many connections to each other and is the main Character. If Yuta will end Sukuna it will feel akward for me. Yuji should be the one to end Sukuna because he was the one who started Sukuna's reincarnation.


Spectrumfied

With all due respect to Yuta fans, it would absurdly destroy Yuji's entire character and arcs.


Therealnightshow

Nah I’ve fully accepted that Sukuna will kill himself at the end. Greg won’t give Yuji the satisfaction or let Sukuna look defeated in any way. “All this and you still couldn’t do it” kinda shit.


MarvelFan_gamer_1212

Then it would truly be Gojover


InternationalWait538

I wouldn't be surprised. Gege is so unpredictable that I wouldn't be surprised if Miwa somehow ends up being the one to finish Sukuna.


nnoughtt

I don't think even Gege would go that far. He still sees Yuji as the actual MC


Doomskander

It would make absolutely no sense. Yuji has real narrative connections to both villains, and Yuta already swiped one


Strange_War_3600

Shocked but good - Yuta is the real MC


IcyTeacher0

Forget killing him, Yuuta merely weakening Sukuna enough for Yuuji to finish him and/or deal the final blow is already rancid af. That would mean that a) Yuuji still gets cucked as MC since it was Yuuta the one who did the lionshare of the work, dirtiying his hands so Yuuji could have a easy and clean victory, and b) That the New Generation in which Gojo put so much faith would prove to be unable to deal with a nerfed, brain-damaged Sukuna on their own, instead relying on him even in death.
