Jujutsu Kaisen finally concludes its story in chapter 271, but fans are far from satisfied. According to them, creator Gege Akutami created a disastrous ending.
While Jujutsu Kaisen has been one of the most popular next-gen shonen manga, it decidedly went downhill towards the end of the Shinjuku Showdown arc. The epilogue only added more doubt and confusion, leading to an ending that left many people frustrated.
Throughout the final chapter, none of the characters received closure, leading fans to criticize Jujutsu Kaisen’s ending as unsatisfying and disappointing. They also criticize the creator for not having concluded many storylines.
The majority of Chapter 271 follows the first-year trio on their new mission. This is followed by Yuji’s flashback to Gojo where the deceased wizard makes a heartbreaking confession. The last part of the chapter shows Sukuna’s interaction with Mahito in the void.
Although the villains’ conversation provides an intriguing insight into Sukuna’s character, it leaves behind more unanswered questions. The finale ends with a panel showing Sukuna’s last finger sealed in a wooden cabin.
Despite introducing several interesting plot points like Kenjaku being Yuji’s mother, the merger, and the future of the jujutsu world, Akutami never explored or resolved any of them. This made the story disjointed and removed their impact on the plot.
With Jujutsu Kaisen’s success (and still is, as it hit a major sales milestone), fans had a lot of hope for the ending. However, now that none of their expectations are met, they are quick to criticize the creator and the finale.
“I don’t want to be dramatic or anything, but that ending was actually the worst possible outcome.” job a user
“The ending of Jujutsu Kaisen is one of the worst I have ever read in manga history. This shit is so lame. I hope Gege never cooks again. This shit is worse than the ending of AoT,” common another, referencing the controversial conclusion of Attack on Titan.
“Jujustu Kaisen had arguably the worst ending ever” wrote a third, with a fourth addition“Yaaaa, the ending of Jujutsu Kaisen may be the worst ending to a manga in recent years.”
Another fan tweeted: “I refuse to believe that Jujutsu Kaisen ends like this. This is honestly the worst ending I’ve seen.
The disappointing ending of Jujutsu Kaisen led many to believe that there would be a second part to the story. But until now there has been no official announcement regarding this.
