Jujutsu Kaisen manga is close to its conclusion as creator Gege Akutami finally confirms the final arc, so which arc will conclude the story?
Jujutsu Kaisenmanga is currently in the middle of theShinjuku Showdown Arc. The arc begins with the highly-anticipated Gojo vs Sukuna, which is still the most exciting fight in the entire series. FollowingGojo’s tragic demise, the story continues as the sorcerers unite to defeat the King of Curses.
After the news, many fans believed that it would not be the final arc of the series. However, now Jujutsu Kaisen creator Gege Akutami has confirmed that Shinjuku Showdown is the final arc or saga.
This comes from questions and answers Gege took part in as part of a Jujutsu Kaisen exhibit in Tokyo, where he refers to the Shinjuku Showdown Arc as the “final section/saga”.
A prominentleakerexplains: “Shinjuku Showdown being the Final arc/saga doesn’t mean JJK is ending really, really soon. Culling Games Arc went on for more than 60 chapters (Shinjuku currently has more than 40 chapters). This also doesn’t necessarily mean Merger won’t happen at all. Just as Culling Game was a cluster of mini-arcs, Shinjuku can have another mini-arc (if Gege decides to make it).”
Since there is no confirmation about the manga ending, it should continue for at least a few more months. Fans are having mixed reactions after the sudden announcement of the final arc since the story still has a lot of unanswered questions.
