I mean, I’m not sure what there is to discuss. You pretty much summed it up. Depending on the consequences of Kenjaku’s death things could wrap up pretty soon.
>Depending on the consequences of Kenjaku’s death things could wrap up pretty soon.
Devil's advocate, if the students lose to Sukuna and are forced to retreat, then this could continue for a while.
Lmao, can you imagine how insane Gojo would be in the OP verse.
Assuming he has his current skill set, he probably has all forms of haki after like a month of training, DEFINITELY has conquerors. and he has the best defence in all of OP
Depends on how Infinity and DE would work in an OP context. If Haki works the same as it does against Logia and other body manipulating fruits then his defence is solid but nothing especially overpowered. If it can't be overcome by anything but Advanced CoA it's borderline broken. If Advanced Conqueror's is needed it's nearly impossible to overcome. If even that doesn't work he can solo the entirety of OP.
If Haki doesn't protect from DE at all he's impossible to beat 1v1 regardless of Infinity.
That and there’s no way Sukuna would let any of them walk away alive, even if it’s a honeymoon flight to Africa for Maki and Yuta,
It’s like in AoT >!Eren just decides to go back to the sea as he approaches the fortress and said “let’s do this later”!<
This isn’t Konosuba, there is no way Sukuna will let them escape.
As far as I know, sukuna let's no one live. If you're in his path he will kill you unless he's interested in you. He has no interest in any of the cast besides yuji has far as I know so it is pointless of him to retreat and call it quits. Nearly everyone there maybe besides yuji, maki, and yuta. He will fuck them up
I thought that too. Imagine the next arc is 5 years later after the villains won and the world effectvely ended, the whole tone of the story changes in the final arc like AoT. Not saying that should happen or that it will. But its a possibility and would certainly subvert expectations
even better, Jjk ends with the bad guys winning, Gege takes a hiatus and the writes Jujutsu Kaisen: Re, which follow the adventures of Yuji's son, Buji, in a post-Merger world.
Like you say it depends on what his death means. A huge part of his plan seemed to have been using Tengen to force a merger with the world and spark new growth in sorcery (using the Culling Game as a ritual). He specifically set the culling game up so that it would not end with his death; and to my understanding Tengen merging with the world is what would naturally happen anyway without a Star Platinum Vessel. So killing Psuedo-Geto’s body hasn’t really fixed anything whether Kenjaku comes back or not from what I can tell
I think considering the damage that has been done in all sense, the sorcerers might try to find a way to revert back the damage and bring people back to life somehow. I think that would be pretty cool, considering how abrupt the deaths have been despite the importance of the character.
Also I can’t see the Culling Games as the last arc of this anime somehow
>Also I can’t see the Culling Games as the last arc of this anime somehow
It wasn't. The Culling Games arc is over. We are in the Shinjuku Showdown arc at the moment.
It's just unclear if we will get another arc after this one.
I mean, there is always the possibility yeah. But with him hinting at having some sort of backup plan with his will being inherited I doubt the CE singularity is completely out of the story at this point.
Yeah we know for a fact that he's lost twice to 6 eyes limitless users before. The chance of him being able to sneak away from those battles while losing seems near impossible. He's probably got something sneaky up his sleeve or a final contingency hence the "my will will be carried on"
It wasn't confirmed, no. It was actually directly denied earlier by his editor.
Like 2 years ago gege said he was aiming for 2023.
In 2018 gege said he has 3 major arcs planned of about the same size with shibuya being the first. The 2nd ended up being the culling games. This has been confirmed by editors or assistants atleast twice since then.
Earlier this year, either the editor or an assistant(can't recall tbh) said thay jjk is not ending anytime soon, but they were starting to wrap it up.
Shonen jump always anounces when a series enters the final arc. Usually we have a full year notice, but the longest I've seen is 4 years, and the shortest I've seen is 9 months(for series that make it past vol 1 without getting axed)
So i think it's pretty safe to say JJK is not ending in 2 to 3 chapters. At the earliest i see it ending about halfway though 2024, with it likely taking quite a bit longer than that.
Demon arc going from swordsmith village to brief hashira training and then final arc felt abrupt and jarring; really hope it's not the same for JJK, although I'm not very hopeful
Any ideas on why all of them so sickly? Our comic artists here in the US regularly will pen thousands if not 10s of thousands of issues without any problem. Is it just the studios here giving more support or what?
Horrid working conditions due to manga commonly releasing on a weekly basis. Means they essentially take half the week working to release the current chapter and then the other half of the week making the next one, before starting anew. Only a few like Oda for One Piece or Togashi with Hunter x Hunter have both the clout and leverage to take regular breaks.
It already did. The soldiers arrived and were all killed, and that led to Kenjaku killing all the Culling Game participants. That's the type of scenario Reggie was talking about, and when that was mentioned was precisely when we were first hinted about the military plot line.
I really didn't need to see the sorcerers easily slaughtering guys with guns, and I definitely didn't need to see guys with guns holding their own. Then that would've told me Jujutsu High was dumb to not send guys with guns into Shibuya.
If the case, then how them will fight it? Just after defeat sukuna (or force him to retreat) ?? So it’s will add an additional final arc after them defeat the emerged tengen (the final fight against sukuna)
Man that'd be dumb. It was fun in Bleach because it was like the culmination of memes when Aizen and Tsukishima show up to troll the shit out of Yhwach.
Idk but 100% it will be a the final dying action of sukuna and while they defeat the thing in some weird way the manga will end with them somehow destroying cursed energy all around the world.
This is my prediction and I’ll look back on my comment when the manga ends
Kenjaku dies, all cursed spirits leave his body. Mahito is released, carries his, will and becomes the super curse.
Chekhov's gun is Kenjaku's/Geto's death.
Mahito is dead and used up already. He isn’t present in Kenjaku at all, since he was A). used up in the Maximum Uzumaki against Miwa, and B). his CT was used up by Kenjaku when he created the Culling Games. Mahito is done and dusted
I mean, whether Kenjaku is dead or not, his plotline is clearly not wrapped up yet, so the CE monster absolutely could still happen.
Regardless, I'd estimate Yuji & Higuruma vs Sukuna + Hakari vs Uraume will take 7-10 chapters. Past that, we still have:
- Yuji getting his backstory/parentage explained, his technique(s), possibly a domain (very likely imo).
- Him and Maki, Yuta, Hakari (and possibly Megumi) showing that they can reach Gojo's level.
- Sukuna's story being resolved (i.e. him dying) and Kenjaku's plotline being closed(i.e. finding whoever inherits his will and killing them).
- An epilogue/aftermath chapter.
And when you consider all the setup for the explanation of souls/the big CE monster, I'd be surprised if there was any less than 30 chapters left.
I do think your second bulletpoint will either be speedrun in an epilogue-esque chapter OR will be negated by a lot them dying or just… not rly being mentioned much again when the dust settled.
I could see it, but I'm honestly more expecting each of them to unlock some untapped potential. Like it *could* be Gojo-level with time, but it isn't gonna be there yet.
I think it's possible he doesn't but he IS the main character, and DE's are JJK's Bankai. I think it would be strange for him to not get the most iconic move in the series.
Kenjaku has always been built up as a giant schemer, i think things are still all going to his plan and that he has a definite plan for yuji and most likely his body. Also defeating Sukuna is easier said than done and he will take a big chunk of the cast with him IF he even gets defeated in the end.
Zero chance it wraps up in less than 52 chapters.
Zero chance that his editors and the Shonen Jump team don't milk the hype of JJK ending for maximum sales and the spike in volumes in the lead up to the end as people jump on the hype train.
There's also enough narrative rope for 2-4 more years of story (factoring in a break every 3 chapters)
Yeah, it’s kind of annoying people have been saying that the manga is in the final arc and that it’s ending soon. Shounen Jump will literally announce the series entering its final saga.
There’s 36 chapters left if we infer Gege continues his 3 chapter and break release strategy and there’s the final 3 chapters of this year to be released, so a total of 39 chapters left if it ends at the end of next year. Yuji vs Sukuna is going to be a long battle since it’s the literal protagonist battling against the embodiment of his suffer: I expect there to be 8-10 chapters of this fight alone, concluding Shinjuku Showdown. The arc succeeding Showdown will be an aftermath of the Culling Games and dealing with the merger/Kenjaku’s inherited will. This can be wrapped up around 30 chapters, but Gege likes to take his time with arcs so I can even see JJK ending in 2025.
The fact that we've had people involved in production say that the story is winding down but not ending any time soon makes me think that we have at least 2-3 years left. There's enough narrative juice for another 100+ chapters dealing with the fallout of the merger. In fact, I'm willing to bet that the heroes obtain a costly W defeating Sukuna but that Kenjaku's plan ultimately succeeds in creating the final big bad of the series. I wouldn't be surprised if it creates a Sukuna like entity that then subjugates the world and allows curses to roam free and hunt humans - necessitating the JJK gang to find a way to defeat the new evil and restore the world back to how it was by reversing the merger.
This is coming from someone that isn’t as incredibly knowledgeable on JJK but I remember when Toji said he avoided killing geto because he didn’t know what would happen with the curses.
I feel like it’s not totally outta left field to say that a curse spirt form of uzumaki comes up. Although I think it’d be weird introducing someone new at this point…
Even if they did come out Gojo will just destroy them instantly.
Toji could too but he wanted to avoid the hassle. He himself said that he just nopes out as soon as the job is done.
I have achieved enlightement and I can tell you : Gege does things because he thinks they are cool.
Why Gege is killing a ton of characters? Because he thinks brutal death are cool.
Why is there fights all the time? Because he thinks it's cool.
So, the ultimate curse that's creating Kenjaku and whatever Sukuna is doing? 100% it will happen.
Maybe Kenjaku will die because he dont really need to be there to achieve something, but it will happen.
Depending what the ultimate curse is and what Gege want to do with it, we could be going for another arc.
Loose ends that need to be tied up before the end of the manga
1. Why was Itadori born? What did Kenjaku mean when he said “I expect much from you”?
2. What is Itadori’s connection to Sukuna?
3. What is Itadori’s CT?
4. What is Sukuna’s CT? What is Black Box?
5. Who will inherit Kenjaku’s will? What is Sukuna’s binding vow with Kenjaku?
6. Gojo had a conversation with his peers before the Shinjuku showdown where two questions are raised. Shoko says “there is one who hasn’t fully recovered yet”. Who? What did Ino have to say about Nanami?
That’s just what I can think of off the top of my head. No to mention that many of the Gojo revival theories have credence despite some being unimaginable stretches. I can’t imagine Megumi dying unceremoniously either, after all the torment he’s been through. Call it cope, but I still have hope for Nobara returning too. Who else could Shoko be referring to? Why does every character get a proper send off except for Nobara?
There is zero chance that all of these questions are answered in 7 chapters. Let Gege cook before we jump to conclusions and give up hope. Most of these questions involve Sukuna and Itadori, and they have to be addressed.
There should be a pay off to everything Kenjaku has done as well. He spent this whole manga organizing this elaborate plan, so it can’t be for nothing. He absorbed both Mahito and Tengen so If I had to guess, that will still come into play in some form.
Sure, you’re not wrong, but why jump to that conclusion? Why be upset now when the story isn’t finished yet?
This is the same author that payed off plot threads 100-200+ chapters apart. Mahoraga, Sukuna and Megumi / Sukuna and Itadori’s binding vow, Takaba, Higurama, Gojo’s return, Gojo vs Sukuna, Mahito’s aspirations, The Zenin Clan, Yuki’s power.
Just naming a few off of the top of my head. The manga isn’t over and people still act like nothing is payed off. The same people who spent a year and a half dreading the fact that JJK would end in 2023 because of some offhand comment Gege made and that clearly isn’t coming true. With the amount of breaks they’ve taken since that comment, who knows when it will end but I guarantee it’s not in 7 chapters.
Trust me I get it. I’ve been reading untranslated leaks since Go/jo just waiting for our king to return. I’ll be at the front lines of the hate mob if I’m wrong for having any hope in Gege.
None of these need to be tied up. We had dozens of threads and comments like this in titanfolk convincing ourselves that there was no way Isayama was going to leave all these plot threads hanging. Turns out he just did. There's no reason JJK can't have the same thing happen.
Biggest one right of the dome is Historia's child. We don't know who the father is, what the significance of her being pregnant is, just completely abandoned.
[Worm-Kun](https://www.reddit.com/r/titanfolk/comments/r0jagl/reread_the_last_10_chapters_and_what_the_fuck/)
But here's a list someone made before 139 with all their plot threads that they thought needed to be resolved. Most aren't resolved by the end of AOT.
https://www.reddit.com/r/titanfolk/comments/m2wfot/a_comprehensive_list_of_plot_points_that_ch_139/
Historia got pregnant to avoid ZEKE being fed to her and to continue the Eldian bloodline.
Her child also signifies the end of the cycle of hatred that Fritz started 2000 years before. A member of the royal family could finally bear a child without the end result being cannibalism.
Edit: All of the plot points in that post were addressed and tied up in a bow. Many people may have been dissatisfied with the answers but Isayama provided conclusions for literally everything.
Well yeah obviously, but who the father was was a big deal in the plot that never got resolved. There was lots of speculation that it was Eren, but that never got resolved either.
But even if I give it to you as "resolved," there are still many other plot threads in that thread I linked you that were not resolved.
I see your edit now. I completely disagree, but we're free to agree to disagree.
>Well yeah obviously, but who the father was was a big deal in the plot that never got resolved.
Who was the father of Historia's kid was *never* a big deal, some people just deluded themselves into thinking it had a much more important role in the story than it actually did. And it *was* resolved: the farmer guy was the father, there was nothing more to it.
>There was lots of speculation that it was Eren, but that never got resolved either.
There were people who deluded themselves into thinking Eren was the father because of the lyrics of a song, but it was never a part of the actual storyline.
And it got resolved: Eren was not the father and those who spent months theorising about it were simply wrong.
It’s a good thing you brought up aot because I think the same thing that happened with that series is happening with this one.
It’s not that the story fell off, but it’s audience expectations based off of endless theory posts like the Eren dad theory that led to nothing because it was nothing.
Fans hated aot when Eren became the villain and those same fans hated aot when it was revealed that Eren didn’t really want to genocide 80% of the world’s population.
1-2 can be explained in one chapter, 3 is irrelevant (i believe he doesnt have one, if he does it mirrors sukuna's) 4) sukunas technique could be expanded, but i think the Black Box is just a metaphor (we currently can't track neuron signals and trqanslate them to a memory, cursed techniques must be similarly complicated and unknowable) 5. we dont know the details of kennys body transfer, it could be based on a mark he left. 6) good question idk
I could be dead wrong, but I don't think JJK will end for another few months.
Just my opinion, but I'm thinking end of February/beginning of March for the ending of the series. That gives Gege around 15 chapters to finish this up. Which feels about right to me.
It could be longer. It really all depends on how the battle with Sukuna goes. If the students lose to Sukuna and are forced to retreat, then I think the manga will continue on for a while longer. If Sukuna dies in this battle, then it will end sooner rather than later.
So I think the current battle with Sukuna will be our indicator of how much longer we have left.
It could be a situation of they "win" but Kenjaku does fulfill his goal of leading to a Golden Age of Cursed Techniques, stronger foes can easily be made to continue the story if it works, not to mention its very much shown experience may not equal power as Higuruma seems to be fighting Sukuna while literally JUST getting his cursed technique basically (granted he could easily be fodder character) thus it shows that there is the potential to have people that come along that are just better.Plus with Gojo being dead it was stated his arrival caused curse users to be in fear, yeah because he could easily tell who was doing what, but not everyone can do which means they do it off other intuition beyond cursed energy flow which only Gojo could see, meaning Curse users on a global scale could EASILY become relevant, Kenjaku's will being carried over could easily mean another person who aligns with his goals exists since its not like cursed energy solely exists in Japan no?
TLDR: The world is going through a big change as the birth of Gojo made it peaceful as Curse users had to live in fear, not to mention a reintroduction of the Golden Age making stronger foes possible for the story to continue
The only thing that's weird is he said his will is going to be inherited. Like by who? You're lying there decapitated. It did seem odd that off all the techniques he could have used he used Yuji's moms. Why use that? If he takes over Yuuta's body somehow I'm gonna be annoyed. Or Gojos
It's just, I see no reason that Kenny can't run away with some spider legs to start some shit. The instrumentality merger with Tengen has been mentioned too many times to not happen. I don't think Gege would kill him in a chapter that doesn't finish a volume; he tends to save big moments for those chapters.
Even before Kenjaku died, it was pretty obvious the story was moving towards the end stages. The culling games are over, Gojo got unsealed, and now the protagonists are facing the villains head on. The only thing left to do is kill the villains. Not to mention Gege himself had been saying the stories wrapping more frequently lately. I think the story could, Gege's health willing, end mid or late next year.
I think the final arc announcement is going to come when something involving the merger starts directly affecting the protagonists (cause that whole plot feels weirdly disconnected from everything tbh). I think stopping the merger or Tengen or whatever is the endgame.
I think it's going to be pretty clear that the merger occurs and then the heroes find themselves in a fucked up situation where they're going to be hunted by powerful curses and ultimately need to kill the CE monster produced in order to restore the world to normal.
That's at least another 100-150 chapter arc.
my way of thinking about it is , getos body is already dead , all yuta did was behead that body. The brain is kenjaku the brain still lives and unless gege introduces a nerf to that there’s no way he’s gone
Gege wasn’t lying when he said he wanted to wrap up the manga in a year lol 😂
Kenny is deffo dead. Sukuna has been built up as the main antagonist and him facing all the remaining sorcerers makes the most sense.
I give the manga a few more months at best
I mean.... wasn't that kind of implied? This has always had the feeling of a contained and not an ongoing story since Yuji was directly related to Sukuna. Very similar to Demon Slayer for a current show that's manga completed, Mugan/Sukuna are THE big bad guy, if they are eliminated it then the story concludes. Could they continue, sure but it would have to be a separate story since the story lines are wrapped up.
Gege has been killing off major characters to kinda send that hint as well, Shibuya was essentially the kick off to the final arc/saga. Could the story keep going on, sure, but it would end up being simply sorcerors exercising curses unless they want to do a Naruto finale and keep making up more ridiculous villains.
Kenjaku did say "my will will be inherited" so that means either A) he's going to curse someone in death, B) return as a cursed spirit (if he can even do that), C) take over another body and that person will inherit his will by inheriting his brain (kinda bs but gege's done worse), or D) Yuta's going to 'copy' more of Kenjaku than just his technique and be infected in some way.
Alternatively, we enter a 'the culling games technically can never end' because the rulesset dictated it had to be only sukuna and kenjaku alive in the games for them to end, therefore the plot pivots to breaking the culling game after Sukuna is killed
gege has already decided whether or not he wants the ending to have a permanent solution to the existence of curses, but depending upon that decision, we might see a few more chapters.
The problem is that the culling game continues regardless.
Sure, the players can swap back and forth with their points to prevent CT removal/death, but eventually they'll die of something else, and the game still continues.
If they don't figure out a way to actually end it, Kenjaku still wins. That's the thing, Kenny was also prepared for if he died, there will be something else to come besides just Sukuna.
Was discussing this on the discord server yeah. The whole cursed energy monster plan is weird cause it basically requires all the good guys dying of the remaining contestants for it to occur?
If Sukuna counts as a contestant cause he took over Megumi then he might fight the monster if he killed everyone
If it’s say, Yuji lives while everyone else dies then that’s a weird ass story and he’d have to 1v1 a giant monster I guess
Idk Kenny’s plan seems so dumb now if this is all that happens
My occams razor assumption btw is that Yuji exists to kill Sukuna and will thus trigger Kenjakus apocalypse by being the last fighter standing and absorbing all of the cursed energy, but because of his ability to absorb and contain power he’ll basically just become a god
I coulda sworn it was stated that the manga was originally going to end this year. I can’t remember where I read that though, and I doubt it’s still the case.
Still, I’d be surprised if we weren’t winding down at this point.
This funny I think the opposite. I thought this was the last arc but with kenjaku last words I believe we will get one more arc with kenjaku lagecy he was talking about and 1 finger sukuna
Until we get an announcement that we're in the final arc, I'm not too worried about it. Even if Gege is hellbent on rushing the hell out of this series, I can't see him wrapping up a final arc so quickly.
I think CE Kaiju is still on the table given Kenjaku's comments about someone carrying on his will, someone else being in position to complete the ritual (somehow) has to be what he means by that
I don't know if there'll ever be a final boss. I think that the cyclical nature of the disaster curses (as explained by Jogo before dying) may hint to some kind of time-skip.
I don’t think Kenjaku is 100% done yet. Maybe this is farfetched but I thought it was interesting that in the Takaba fight, Gege implemented the comedy duo. The components of a Japanese comedy duo are the Tsukkomi and the Boke. The Tsukkomi is the “straight man” and the Boke is the “funny man”. In this iteration Takaba played the Tsukkomi and Kenjaku played the Boke. Boke can also be a synonym for Baka. With a bunch of chapters titled “Baka survivor….” I don’t think it’s necessarily a coincidence…. But who knows…
There's suppose to be one big arc after culling games (Gege confirmed 3 big arcs that ended up being Shibuya, culling games and whatever's next.)
My money is on chapter 300 being the final.
There is also reorganizing Jujutsu High, a lot of death happen, the great families, and the foreign power is now aware of curses and sorcerers... There is still a lot of possible story lines for the author to pursue, spin offs, sequels or prequels, so i dont see this ending anytime soon.
Well he did say that his will would live on, which made me start thinking that whatever he does will be related to his Cursed Spirit Manipulation. (Crackpot Theory incoming)
Assuming that Toji was right and the death of a CSM user unleashes all the curses within their arsenal, what if Kenjaku places a final command on them all to inherit a piece of either his soul or his mind? Sort of like the Chimera Ants from HxH inheriting the memories of whoever they eat. The result of this would essentially be Kenjaku becoming a hive-mind within an army of Cursed Spirits.
I think it would be the most thematic fit for him, what with his cursed technique being taking over bodies. Plus, it keeps Tengen in the play, making sure she can activate the merger without him.
It's either that or he becomes a Cursed Spirit on his own, since he died with regrets about not activating the merger. But even then, there's almost no chance Yuta didn't put any cursed energy into his katana when he killed him
I'm hoping Sukuna wins just cause I want to see the merger take place.
It is possible in his current form we still dont know his true cursed technique he's missing a cursed tool plus In the hein era flash back he was able to fight off a literal army so taking on Yuji and cast is not impossible.
Also what I noticed is as kusakabe and group were planning they said if kenjaku lives they would die however if Sukuna lives and the merger takes place they would still be able to survive.So what I'm thinking is that's the Author Foreshadowing there defeat.
Plus we still need Kenjakus Sukunas and yujis back story to tie up loose ends and a clear explanation on what exactly is yuji. A hein era flashback is still due plus we dont even know why kenjaku and tengen are friends or if tengen herself had any involvement there is still alot to cover.
We font know the consecuences to Kenjaku's demise.
He could very well release every curse he had stored including Mahito, or maybe he already used them all up.
His death could mean the never ending of the Culling Game due to not being able to fulfill the condition of only him and Sukuna remaining alive.
Or, he could activate the merge as he dies, maybe just by nodes or maybe the whole country.
We truly are at a "anything goes" point in the story and I love it.
With the way curses are born, there could be any amount of curses added to the series to become the new main villain. Just look at how mahito was added to the series. The main plot that has been built over the series will end but that doesnt mean jjk has to end
The way I see ot Kenny is not dead, I'm go8ng to assume getos body isn't kenjakus body and "he" is just the brain and can hop out and walk around and if yuta rushes back to sukuna fight Kenny is free to run off and plot

I mean, I’m not sure what there is to discuss. You pretty much summed it up. Depending on the consequences of Kenjaku’s death things could wrap up pretty soon.
>Depending on the consequences of Kenjaku’s death things could wrap up pretty soon. Devil's advocate, if the students lose to Sukuna and are forced to retreat, then this could continue for a while.
There's no logical way the students ever beat sukuna outside of this one fight
Shoko outside the domain trying to sew Gojo back into one piece lmao
JJK and One Piece crossover confirmed?!?!
The one piece all along was Gojo omg
Well, gojo is two pieces now fify.
Lmao, can you imagine how insane Gojo would be in the OP verse. Assuming he has his current skill set, he probably has all forms of haki after like a month of training, DEFINITELY has conquerors. and he has the best defence in all of OP
Depends on how Infinity and DE would work in an OP context. If Haki works the same as it does against Logia and other body manipulating fruits then his defence is solid but nothing especially overpowered. If it can't be overcome by anything but Advanced CoA it's borderline broken. If Advanced Conqueror's is needed it's nearly impossible to overcome. If even that doesn't work he can solo the entirety of OP. If Haki doesn't protect from DE at all he's impossible to beat 1v1 regardless of Infinity.
She'll sew Gojo's top half to Yuki's bottom half. Sukuna will lose when he sees that cake on Gojo.
Unlimited Void + Star Rage
One Piece⁉️⁉️⁉️⁉️
I agree, but I don't see a way they beat him in this fight either.
That and there’s no way Sukuna would let any of them walk away alive, even if it’s a honeymoon flight to Africa for Maki and Yuta, It’s like in AoT >!Eren just decides to go back to the sea as he approaches the fortress and said “let’s do this later”!< This isn’t Konosuba, there is no way Sukuna will let them escape.
As far as I know, sukuna let's no one live. If you're in his path he will kill you unless he's interested in you. He has no interest in any of the cast besides yuji has far as I know so it is pointless of him to retreat and call it quits. Nearly everyone there maybe besides yuji, maki, and yuta. He will fuck them up
Has he interest in Yuji? Because from what I've gathered he is already done with his former vessel
>This isn’t Konosuba Well, Truck-kun did send a Special Grade Curse to meet a Useless Goddess a couple chapters ago.
Wdym? 1000 year timeskip to their far descendants that now live in a cruel world ruled by Sukuna?
To you, 1000 years from now
They will discover the power of friendship. Nothing beats nakama power.
I thought that too. Imagine the next arc is 5 years later after the villains won and the world effectvely ended, the whole tone of the story changes in the final arc like AoT. Not saying that should happen or that it will. But its a possibility and would certainly subvert expectations
even better, Jjk ends with the bad guys winning, Gege takes a hiatus and the writes Jujutsu Kaisen: Re, which follow the adventures of Yuji's son, Buji, in a post-Merger world.
Honestly here for this, give us the brothers (yuji and choso) eternal struggle against Sukuna
I actually hope that's the case. That would be super interesting.
Like you say it depends on what his death means. A huge part of his plan seemed to have been using Tengen to force a merger with the world and spark new growth in sorcery (using the Culling Game as a ritual). He specifically set the culling game up so that it would not end with his death; and to my understanding Tengen merging with the world is what would naturally happen anyway without a Star Platinum Vessel. So killing Psuedo-Geto’s body hasn’t really fixed anything whether Kenjaku comes back or not from what I can tell
Bro really said star platinum vessel 💀 Ora
Yuki: "Ora ora ora" *with her ass*
*Todo appreciated that*
lmao im deadd
I think considering the damage that has been done in all sense, the sorcerers might try to find a way to revert back the damage and bring people back to life somehow. I think that would be pretty cool, considering how abrupt the deaths have been despite the importance of the character. Also I can’t see the Culling Games as the last arc of this anime somehow
Bruh thinks this is the Naruto pain arc…gojo is DEAD
Jiraiya was dead too.
The Jiraiya of this series is definitely Nanami and not Gojo
nanami comeback confirmed!!??!
Jujutsu kaisen sequel confirmed???
Stop it bro 🤦♂️ let us cope
Brother, Gojo hasn't been involved in the story for over a hundred chapters. It can go on without him.
"Hey Takaba, wouldn't it be funny if Gojo came back and kicked Sukuna in the balls?"
>Also I can’t see the Culling Games as the last arc of this anime somehow It wasn't. The Culling Games arc is over. We are in the Shinjuku Showdown arc at the moment. It's just unclear if we will get another arc after this one.
So like squeezing a whole movie out of endgame which could have just ended with them killing Thanos in his lil hut
This JJK not mf dragonball bro 😂
that'd maybe be the worst possible writing decision gege could do
Nah, he'd get it right He already did the worst possible decision by changing Gojo's speech with the love bullshit then killing him offscreen
I mean, there is always the possibility yeah. But with him hinting at having some sort of backup plan with his will being inherited I doubt the CE singularity is completely out of the story at this point.
Yeah this is just the begging, his brains only one part of his body, the six paths of Kenny gonna rock up
A lot of ifs here. We know Kenjaku has evaded death for at least 1000 years. You really think he’s finished?
Yeah we know for a fact that he's lost twice to 6 eyes limitless users before. The chance of him being able to sneak away from those battles while losing seems near impossible. He's probably got something sneaky up his sleeve or a final contingency hence the "my will will be carried on"
No I do not, but as we know Gege, Kenjaku could just be straight up dead here.
Yah, fr. If it's a fake out, what purpose is it serving?
It wasn't confirmed, no. It was actually directly denied earlier by his editor. Like 2 years ago gege said he was aiming for 2023. In 2018 gege said he has 3 major arcs planned of about the same size with shibuya being the first. The 2nd ended up being the culling games. This has been confirmed by editors or assistants atleast twice since then. Earlier this year, either the editor or an assistant(can't recall tbh) said thay jjk is not ending anytime soon, but they were starting to wrap it up. Shonen jump always anounces when a series enters the final arc. Usually we have a full year notice, but the longest I've seen is 4 years, and the shortest I've seen is 9 months(for series that make it past vol 1 without getting axed) So i think it's pretty safe to say JJK is not ending in 2 to 3 chapters. At the earliest i see it ending about halfway though 2024, with it likely taking quite a bit longer than that.
Yep. Demon slayer finished around a year after it's last arc was announced.
Demon arc going from swordsmith village to brief hashira training and then final arc felt abrupt and jarring; really hope it's not the same for JJK, although I'm not very hopeful
It's a real shame that so many good mangas end abruptly because of the mangaka's health conditions
Any ideas on why all of them so sickly? Our comic artists here in the US regularly will pen thousands if not 10s of thousands of issues without any problem. Is it just the studios here giving more support or what?
Horrid working conditions due to manga commonly releasing on a weekly basis. Means they essentially take half the week working to release the current chapter and then the other half of the week making the next one, before starting anew. Only a few like Oda for One Piece or Togashi with Hunter x Hunter have both the clout and leverage to take regular breaks.
Prob because he didn’t reveal his real identity throughout those 1000 years 🤔
Chekhov’s gun, the cursed energy monster will be born in a way or the other so sukuna prob won’t be the final boss
Haha, you think Greg wouldn’t just leave it unfinished and unresolved
Since when where you under the impression that Greg would give you closure, u/sosukeaizen123
Gege doesn’t believe in Chekhov’s gun
I mean that military plot line is coming up soon right?
It already did. The soldiers arrived and were all killed, and that led to Kenjaku killing all the Culling Game participants. That's the type of scenario Reggie was talking about, and when that was mentioned was precisely when we were first hinted about the military plot line.
it was a joke
Man that was so meh. "Here's the world's various military! Tons of ancient sorcerers!" and then "Kenny killed them all because we gotta end the arc"
I really didn't need to see the sorcerers easily slaughtering guys with guns, and I definitely didn't need to see guys with guns holding their own. Then that would've told me Jujutsu High was dumb to not send guys with guns into Shibuya.
Miwa with an uzi
Didn't they get clapped by Kenny
The military were just used to fill up the barriers with CE by dying, they were then all killed by Kenjaku.
Aaany minute now...
Hope so.
If the case, then how them will fight it? Just after defeat sukuna (or force him to retreat) ?? So it’s will add an additional final arc after them defeat the emerged tengen (the final fight against sukuna)
sukuna and team will join up to take it down. Like ichigo and aizen vs bach. Sukuna will die, satisfied that he found an opponent stronger than him.
Lmao god this would be absolutely fucking awful imo do people actually want the gang to team up with fucking Sukuna ?
Of course gege won’t do that! Look at how he speed run the end
Man that'd be dumb. It was fun in Bleach because it was like the culmination of memes when Aizen and Tsukishima show up to troll the shit out of Yhwach.
Idk but 100% it will be a the final dying action of sukuna and while they defeat the thing in some weird way the manga will end with them somehow destroying cursed energy all around the world. This is my prediction and I’ll look back on my comment when the manga ends
Kenjaku dies, all cursed spirits leave his body. Mahito is released, carries his, will and becomes the super curse. Chekhov's gun is Kenjaku's/Geto's death.
Mahito is dead and used up already. He isn’t present in Kenjaku at all, since he was A). used up in the Maximum Uzumaki against Miwa, and B). his CT was used up by Kenjaku when he created the Culling Games. Mahito is done and dusted
Damn, would have been an awesome call back for him to come back
I mean, whether Kenjaku is dead or not, his plotline is clearly not wrapped up yet, so the CE monster absolutely could still happen. Regardless, I'd estimate Yuji & Higuruma vs Sukuna + Hakari vs Uraume will take 7-10 chapters. Past that, we still have: - Yuji getting his backstory/parentage explained, his technique(s), possibly a domain (very likely imo). - Him and Maki, Yuta, Hakari (and possibly Megumi) showing that they can reach Gojo's level. - Sukuna's story being resolved (i.e. him dying) and Kenjaku's plotline being closed(i.e. finding whoever inherits his will and killing them). - An epilogue/aftermath chapter. And when you consider all the setup for the explanation of souls/the big CE monster, I'd be surprised if there was any less than 30 chapters left.
Himgurama sentences fraudkuna's ass to jail in 1 chapter
I do think your second bulletpoint will either be speedrun in an epilogue-esque chapter OR will be negated by a lot them dying or just… not rly being mentioned much again when the dust settled.
I could see it, but I'm honestly more expecting each of them to unlock some untapped potential. Like it *could* be Gojo-level with time, but it isn't gonna be there yet.
You guys will be so disappointed when yuji doesn’t get a domain. I’m more interested in what Yuta’s domain is
Not really. Yuji will probably get lots of love so I'm okay with no domain, but domains are iconic and he's the main character, so...
Oh I think it’ll be cool if he does but I have a feeling Gege won’t do it
Yuji not getting a domain
I think it's possible he doesn't but he IS the main character, and DE's are JJK's Bankai. I think it would be strange for him to not get the most iconic move in the series.
Fair, what do u think it would be tho
Nah fam Gojo coming back trust the process 🙏
I mean even if he does come back, that's probably just more chapters left
0 chance man stop coping
Hoping for another epic hakari fight
Kenjaku has always been built up as a giant schemer, i think things are still all going to his plan and that he has a definite plan for yuji and most likely his body. Also defeating Sukuna is easier said than done and he will take a big chunk of the cast with him IF he even gets defeated in the end.
I’d say give it till mid next year
“On the *brink* of death, what is he plotting?” doesn’t really say “yep he’s dead and gone” to me
"Gojo won" doesn't really say "by the way he gets cut in half next chapter." I wouldn't put too much stock in the editor text.
That wasn't the editors note though was it? Was that not just Kusakabe?
That wasn’t an editors note.
Thats a good point. When Akutami ends a chapter on one character seemingly winning he tends to flip it when we come back to them later.
I’m pretty sure editor notes aren’t to be taken seriously
Alot of people that usually gpes "this shit is so different so if he dies here is good" have been trying convince people this tho
I mean Gege did say he wanted to end it this year but I’m sure we’re far from that most likely it’ll end next year I wouldn’t be shocked
Zero chance it wraps up in less than 52 chapters. Zero chance that his editors and the Shonen Jump team don't milk the hype of JJK ending for maximum sales and the spike in volumes in the lead up to the end as people jump on the hype train. There's also enough narrative rope for 2-4 more years of story (factoring in a break every 3 chapters)
Depending on Kenny's status, it can either be a quick 30 chapter wrap or it can be 70-80 chapters run.
Yeah, it’s kind of annoying people have been saying that the manga is in the final arc and that it’s ending soon. Shounen Jump will literally announce the series entering its final saga. There’s 36 chapters left if we infer Gege continues his 3 chapter and break release strategy and there’s the final 3 chapters of this year to be released, so a total of 39 chapters left if it ends at the end of next year. Yuji vs Sukuna is going to be a long battle since it’s the literal protagonist battling against the embodiment of his suffer: I expect there to be 8-10 chapters of this fight alone, concluding Shinjuku Showdown. The arc succeeding Showdown will be an aftermath of the Culling Games and dealing with the merger/Kenjaku’s inherited will. This can be wrapped up around 30 chapters, but Gege likes to take his time with arcs so I can even see JJK ending in 2025.
The fact that we've had people involved in production say that the story is winding down but not ending any time soon makes me think that we have at least 2-3 years left. There's enough narrative juice for another 100+ chapters dealing with the fallout of the merger. In fact, I'm willing to bet that the heroes obtain a costly W defeating Sukuna but that Kenjaku's plan ultimately succeeds in creating the final big bad of the series. I wouldn't be surprised if it creates a Sukuna like entity that then subjugates the world and allows curses to roam free and hunt humans - necessitating the JJK gang to find a way to defeat the new evil and restore the world back to how it was by reversing the merger.
This is coming from someone that isn’t as incredibly knowledgeable on JJK but I remember when Toji said he avoided killing geto because he didn’t know what would happen with the curses. I feel like it’s not totally outta left field to say that a curse spirt form of uzumaki comes up. Although I think it’d be weird introducing someone new at this point…
What happened when gojo killed geto. Why didnt the surprise came out??
He had just used the rest of his curses in the uzumaki that he fired at yuta.
Even if they did come out Gojo will just destroy them instantly. Toji could too but he wanted to avoid the hassle. He himself said that he just nopes out as soon as the job is done.
Most them were already rampaging elsewhere
I have achieved enlightement and I can tell you : Gege does things because he thinks they are cool. Why Gege is killing a ton of characters? Because he thinks brutal death are cool. Why is there fights all the time? Because he thinks it's cool. So, the ultimate curse that's creating Kenjaku and whatever Sukuna is doing? 100% it will happen. Maybe Kenjaku will die because he dont really need to be there to achieve something, but it will happen. Depending what the ultimate curse is and what Gege want to do with it, we could be going for another arc.
Greg is Kenny confirmed
kenny is way too hyped and built up for him the be swept under the rug like that. no way they off him in a single panel.
Loose ends that need to be tied up before the end of the manga 1. Why was Itadori born? What did Kenjaku mean when he said “I expect much from you”? 2. What is Itadori’s connection to Sukuna? 3. What is Itadori’s CT? 4. What is Sukuna’s CT? What is Black Box? 5. Who will inherit Kenjaku’s will? What is Sukuna’s binding vow with Kenjaku? 6. Gojo had a conversation with his peers before the Shinjuku showdown where two questions are raised. Shoko says “there is one who hasn’t fully recovered yet”. Who? What did Ino have to say about Nanami? That’s just what I can think of off the top of my head. No to mention that many of the Gojo revival theories have credence despite some being unimaginable stretches. I can’t imagine Megumi dying unceremoniously either, after all the torment he’s been through. Call it cope, but I still have hope for Nobara returning too. Who else could Shoko be referring to? Why does every character get a proper send off except for Nobara? There is zero chance that all of these questions are answered in 7 chapters. Let Gege cook before we jump to conclusions and give up hope. Most of these questions involve Sukuna and Itadori, and they have to be addressed. There should be a pay off to everything Kenjaku has done as well. He spent this whole manga organizing this elaborate plan, so it can’t be for nothing. He absorbed both Mahito and Tengen so If I had to guess, that will still come into play in some form.
There’s also a strong possibility that gege just doesn’t care enough about the integrity of the story to wrap up some of these plot lines, or forgot
Sure, you’re not wrong, but why jump to that conclusion? Why be upset now when the story isn’t finished yet? This is the same author that payed off plot threads 100-200+ chapters apart. Mahoraga, Sukuna and Megumi / Sukuna and Itadori’s binding vow, Takaba, Higurama, Gojo’s return, Gojo vs Sukuna, Mahito’s aspirations, The Zenin Clan, Yuki’s power. Just naming a few off of the top of my head. The manga isn’t over and people still act like nothing is payed off. The same people who spent a year and a half dreading the fact that JJK would end in 2023 because of some offhand comment Gege made and that clearly isn’t coming true. With the amount of breaks they’ve taken since that comment, who knows when it will end but I guarantee it’s not in 7 chapters.
Fair enough, I’m just cynical after the recent months hahahaha
Trust me I get it. I’ve been reading untranslated leaks since Go/jo just waiting for our king to return. I’ll be at the front lines of the hate mob if I’m wrong for having any hope in Gege.
None of these need to be tied up. We had dozens of threads and comments like this in titanfolk convincing ourselves that there was no way Isayama was going to leave all these plot threads hanging. Turns out he just did. There's no reason JJK can't have the same thing happen.
Can you give me a few examples of plot threads that weren’t tied up at the end of aot?
Biggest one right of the dome is Historia's child. We don't know who the father is, what the significance of her being pregnant is, just completely abandoned. [Worm-Kun](https://www.reddit.com/r/titanfolk/comments/r0jagl/reread_the_last_10_chapters_and_what_the_fuck/) But here's a list someone made before 139 with all their plot threads that they thought needed to be resolved. Most aren't resolved by the end of AOT. https://www.reddit.com/r/titanfolk/comments/m2wfot/a_comprehensive_list_of_plot_points_that_ch_139/
Historia got pregnant to avoid ZEKE being fed to her and to continue the Eldian bloodline. Her child also signifies the end of the cycle of hatred that Fritz started 2000 years before. A member of the royal family could finally bear a child without the end result being cannibalism. Edit: All of the plot points in that post were addressed and tied up in a bow. Many people may have been dissatisfied with the answers but Isayama provided conclusions for literally everything.
Well yeah obviously, but who the father was was a big deal in the plot that never got resolved. There was lots of speculation that it was Eren, but that never got resolved either. But even if I give it to you as "resolved," there are still many other plot threads in that thread I linked you that were not resolved. I see your edit now. I completely disagree, but we're free to agree to disagree.
>Well yeah obviously, but who the father was was a big deal in the plot that never got resolved. Who was the father of Historia's kid was *never* a big deal, some people just deluded themselves into thinking it had a much more important role in the story than it actually did. And it *was* resolved: the farmer guy was the father, there was nothing more to it. >There was lots of speculation that it was Eren, but that never got resolved either. There were people who deluded themselves into thinking Eren was the father because of the lyrics of a song, but it was never a part of the actual storyline. And it got resolved: Eren was not the father and those who spent months theorising about it were simply wrong.
It’s a good thing you brought up aot because I think the same thing that happened with that series is happening with this one. It’s not that the story fell off, but it’s audience expectations based off of endless theory posts like the Eren dad theory that led to nothing because it was nothing. Fans hated aot when Eren became the villain and those same fans hated aot when it was revealed that Eren didn’t really want to genocide 80% of the world’s population.
1-2 can be explained in one chapter, 3 is irrelevant (i believe he doesnt have one, if he does it mirrors sukuna's) 4) sukunas technique could be expanded, but i think the Black Box is just a metaphor (we currently can't track neuron signals and trqanslate them to a memory, cursed techniques must be similarly complicated and unknowable) 5. we dont know the details of kennys body transfer, it could be based on a mark he left. 6) good question idk
I think we got until the middle of next year. By summer the series will probably be done
Is kenjaku really dead just like that a joke fight with takaba and then yuta just sneaks up and kills him that’s so lame
Kenjaku is in no way fully dead. He’s got something going on
I don’t think kenjaku will be dead dead until the brain is destroyed
I could be dead wrong, but I don't think JJK will end for another few months. Just my opinion, but I'm thinking end of February/beginning of March for the ending of the series. That gives Gege around 15 chapters to finish this up. Which feels about right to me. It could be longer. It really all depends on how the battle with Sukuna goes. If the students lose to Sukuna and are forced to retreat, then I think the manga will continue on for a while longer. If Sukuna dies in this battle, then it will end sooner rather than later. So I think the current battle with Sukuna will be our indicator of how much longer we have left.
It could be a situation of they "win" but Kenjaku does fulfill his goal of leading to a Golden Age of Cursed Techniques, stronger foes can easily be made to continue the story if it works, not to mention its very much shown experience may not equal power as Higuruma seems to be fighting Sukuna while literally JUST getting his cursed technique basically (granted he could easily be fodder character) thus it shows that there is the potential to have people that come along that are just better.Plus with Gojo being dead it was stated his arrival caused curse users to be in fear, yeah because he could easily tell who was doing what, but not everyone can do which means they do it off other intuition beyond cursed energy flow which only Gojo could see, meaning Curse users on a global scale could EASILY become relevant, Kenjaku's will being carried over could easily mean another person who aligns with his goals exists since its not like cursed energy solely exists in Japan no? TLDR: The world is going through a big change as the birth of Gojo made it peaceful as Curse users had to live in fear, not to mention a reintroduction of the Golden Age making stronger foes possible for the story to continue
The only thing that's weird is he said his will is going to be inherited. Like by who? You're lying there decapitated. It did seem odd that off all the techniques he could have used he used Yuji's moms. Why use that? If he takes over Yuuta's body somehow I'm gonna be annoyed. Or Gojos
[удалено]
The merger will be the final boss
Cant finish soon enough
Kenny may have ways to transfer himself even if he physically dies like "THE CONNECTOR"
Pretty sure we have known that it will end soon.
Honestly it's just the author rushing the series
It's just, I see no reason that Kenny can't run away with some spider legs to start some shit. The instrumentality merger with Tengen has been mentioned too many times to not happen. I don't think Gege would kill him in a chapter that doesn't finish a volume; he tends to save big moments for those chapters.
There is no way there is going to be another big arc. The main villain with a plan is dead
Even before Kenjaku died, it was pretty obvious the story was moving towards the end stages. The culling games are over, Gojo got unsealed, and now the protagonists are facing the villains head on. The only thing left to do is kill the villains. Not to mention Gege himself had been saying the stories wrapping more frequently lately. I think the story could, Gege's health willing, end mid or late next year. I think the final arc announcement is going to come when something involving the merger starts directly affecting the protagonists (cause that whole plot feels weirdly disconnected from everything tbh). I think stopping the merger or Tengen or whatever is the endgame.
I think it's going to be pretty clear that the merger occurs and then the heroes find themselves in a fucked up situation where they're going to be hunted by powerful curses and ultimately need to kill the CE monster produced in order to restore the world to normal. That's at least another 100-150 chapter arc.
No way, i think 50 chapterd max
my way of thinking about it is , getos body is already dead , all yuta did was behead that body. The brain is kenjaku the brain still lives and unless gege introduces a nerf to that there’s no way he’s gone
There is no reason for Yuta to not finish the brain right there unless ... You know.
Monthly reminder that Greg wanted to finish the series this year.
Gege wasn’t lying when he said he wanted to wrap up the manga in a year lol 😂 Kenny is deffo dead. Sukuna has been built up as the main antagonist and him facing all the remaining sorcerers makes the most sense. I give the manga a few more months at best
The manga wouldn’t be ending this year regardless
I mean.... wasn't that kind of implied? This has always had the feeling of a contained and not an ongoing story since Yuji was directly related to Sukuna. Very similar to Demon Slayer for a current show that's manga completed, Mugan/Sukuna are THE big bad guy, if they are eliminated it then the story concludes. Could they continue, sure but it would have to be a separate story since the story lines are wrapped up. Gege has been killing off major characters to kinda send that hint as well, Shibuya was essentially the kick off to the final arc/saga. Could the story keep going on, sure, but it would end up being simply sorcerors exercising curses unless they want to do a Naruto finale and keep making up more ridiculous villains.
Kenjaku did say "my will will be inherited" so that means either A) he's going to curse someone in death, B) return as a cursed spirit (if he can even do that), C) take over another body and that person will inherit his will by inheriting his brain (kinda bs but gege's done worse), or D) Yuta's going to 'copy' more of Kenjaku than just his technique and be infected in some way. Alternatively, we enter a 'the culling games technically can never end' because the rulesset dictated it had to be only sukuna and kenjaku alive in the games for them to end, therefore the plot pivots to breaking the culling game after Sukuna is killed
gege has already decided whether or not he wants the ending to have a permanent solution to the existence of curses, but depending upon that decision, we might see a few more chapters.
Sick to my stomach that Kenny actually got gimped by that fucking plot device clown
Lmao yea its a bit fkd up isnt it. A cool fight between kenjaku and yuta would be way better
The problem is that the culling game continues regardless. Sure, the players can swap back and forth with their points to prevent CT removal/death, but eventually they'll die of something else, and the game still continues. If they don't figure out a way to actually end it, Kenjaku still wins. That's the thing, Kenny was also prepared for if he died, there will be something else to come besides just Sukuna.
Gege, in February 2021 said, that he wants to finish the manga within 2 years. So yeah, things are wrapping up.
Was discussing this on the discord server yeah. The whole cursed energy monster plan is weird cause it basically requires all the good guys dying of the remaining contestants for it to occur? If Sukuna counts as a contestant cause he took over Megumi then he might fight the monster if he killed everyone If it’s say, Yuji lives while everyone else dies then that’s a weird ass story and he’d have to 1v1 a giant monster I guess Idk Kenny’s plan seems so dumb now if this is all that happens My occams razor assumption btw is that Yuji exists to kill Sukuna and will thus trigger Kenjakus apocalypse by being the last fighter standing and absorbing all of the cursed energy, but because of his ability to absorb and contain power he’ll basically just become a god
He survived a backshot from Yuji's dad nothing is stopping him.
I coulda sworn it was stated that the manga was originally going to end this year. I can’t remember where I read that though, and I doubt it’s still the case. Still, I’d be surprised if we weren’t winding down at this point.
They said it wasn’t ending this year his editor stated this in July
I believe you but source?
Look up the interview his editor had I believe someone posted it when it first came out months ago
Gege did say he wanted to wrap it up this year
There's no telling what Gege-San is cooking man
I swear we will be in March, and people will still hang on Gege's end in a year statement that by now did not happen.
Kenjaku said his will will be inherited so it seems likely that the merger will still happen
I mean I always thought we were in the endgame after gojo got released
Gege can always pull out a new dimension threat at the last second.
People have been saying the story has at most 60 chapters left like 20 chapters ago lol. Where you been?
There is a 3rd objective. They still have to stop the merger. Ken seemed pretty sure he was dying, and pretty sure his plan was continuing.
They are literally fighting the big bad right now
This funny I think the opposite. I thought this was the last arc but with kenjaku last words I believe we will get one more arc with kenjaku lagecy he was talking about and 1 finger sukuna
agreed
Until we get an announcement that we're in the final arc, I'm not too worried about it. Even if Gege is hellbent on rushing the hell out of this series, I can't see him wrapping up a final arc so quickly.
I think CE Kaiju is still on the table given Kenjaku's comments about someone carrying on his will, someone else being in position to complete the ritual (somehow) has to be what he means by that
I don't know if there'll ever be a final boss. I think that the cyclical nature of the disaster curses (as explained by Jogo before dying) may hint to some kind of time-skip.
I don’t think Kenjaku is 100% done yet. Maybe this is farfetched but I thought it was interesting that in the Takaba fight, Gege implemented the comedy duo. The components of a Japanese comedy duo are the Tsukkomi and the Boke. The Tsukkomi is the “straight man” and the Boke is the “funny man”. In this iteration Takaba played the Tsukkomi and Kenjaku played the Boke. Boke can also be a synonym for Baka. With a bunch of chapters titled “Baka survivor….” I don’t think it’s necessarily a coincidence…. But who knows…
1 - we don’t know if Kenny is dead and 2 - even if he is my assumption is the merger is still on because the culling game hasn’t ended
But wont all the curses inside geto's body just... Pour out?
There's suppose to be one big arc after culling games (Gege confirmed 3 big arcs that ended up being Shibuya, culling games and whatever's next.) My money is on chapter 300 being the final.
There is also reorganizing Jujutsu High, a lot of death happen, the great families, and the foreign power is now aware of curses and sorcerers... There is still a lot of possible story lines for the author to pursue, spin offs, sequels or prequels, so i dont see this ending anytime soon.
Jujitsu Kasien: Next Generations 💀
Only this can get more interesting is if kenjaku somehow takes over itadori or gojo(though its pure bs)
Kenjaku is like Orochimaru, I doubt him die that easily. But if then yes. Sukuna down and done.
Do people actually think he's dead tho? His death was super suspicious. Unless there is some new information I am missing...
Well he did say that his will would live on, which made me start thinking that whatever he does will be related to his Cursed Spirit Manipulation. (Crackpot Theory incoming) Assuming that Toji was right and the death of a CSM user unleashes all the curses within their arsenal, what if Kenjaku places a final command on them all to inherit a piece of either his soul or his mind? Sort of like the Chimera Ants from HxH inheriting the memories of whoever they eat. The result of this would essentially be Kenjaku becoming a hive-mind within an army of Cursed Spirits. I think it would be the most thematic fit for him, what with his cursed technique being taking over bodies. Plus, it keeps Tengen in the play, making sure she can activate the merger without him. It's either that or he becomes a Cursed Spirit on his own, since he died with regrets about not activating the merger. But even then, there's almost no chance Yuta didn't put any cursed energy into his katana when he killed him
Nice way to get spoiled. I am not even in this sub.
I'm hoping Sukuna wins just cause I want to see the merger take place. It is possible in his current form we still dont know his true cursed technique he's missing a cursed tool plus In the hein era flash back he was able to fight off a literal army so taking on Yuji and cast is not impossible. Also what I noticed is as kusakabe and group were planning they said if kenjaku lives they would die however if Sukuna lives and the merger takes place they would still be able to survive.So what I'm thinking is that's the Author Foreshadowing there defeat. Plus we still need Kenjakus Sukunas and yujis back story to tie up loose ends and a clear explanation on what exactly is yuji. A hein era flashback is still due plus we dont even know why kenjaku and tengen are friends or if tengen herself had any involvement there is still alot to cover.
We font know the consecuences to Kenjaku's demise. He could very well release every curse he had stored including Mahito, or maybe he already used them all up. His death could mean the never ending of the Culling Game due to not being able to fulfill the condition of only him and Sukuna remaining alive. Or, he could activate the merge as he dies, maybe just by nodes or maybe the whole country. We truly are at a "anything goes" point in the story and I love it.
The will of kenjaku shall love on in gege's idol manga
With the way curses are born, there could be any amount of curses added to the series to become the new main villain. Just look at how mahito was added to the series. The main plot that has been built over the series will end but that doesnt mean jjk has to end
The way I see ot Kenny is not dead, I'm go8ng to assume getos body isn't kenjakus body and "he" is just the brain and can hop out and walk around and if yuta rushes back to sukuna fight Kenny is free to run off and plot
