See the final manga covers of Jujutsu Kaisen featuring Yuji and Sukuna as the series reaches its climax.
The End of an Era for Jujutsu Kaisen
Jujutsu Kaisen officially concluded earlier this fall, and the closing artwork for the last two volumes prominently features Yuji and Sukuna one last time. Gege Akutami's Jujutsu Kaisen took fans by surprise with its sudden ending in Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump. The repercussions of the epic final battle against Sukuna still resonate among fans. After a countdown revealed that only five chapters remained, Yuji managed to wrap up the long-standing conflict with Sukuna following numerous deaths and remarkable losses throughout the Shinjuku Showdown arc.
With the manga’s journey complete, the final two volumes will hit stores across Japan starting December 25th this year. Volumes 29 and 30 encapsulate the concluding chapters, focusing on the core duo at the heart of the story. Volume 29 highlights Sukuna, showcasing his role as the central figure during the latter part of the Shinjuku Showdown. Conversely, Volume 30 brings the focus back to Yuji, creating a full-circle moment for the series that has captivated audiences for years. Take a look at the cover art for Jujutsu Kaisen Volumes 29 and 30 released by Shueisha below.
Was the Ending of Jujutsu Kaisen Satisfying?
Although Jujutsu Kaisen wrapped up its story this fall, many fans walked away feeling a bit unsettled. The final confrontation against Sukuna, although extensive and engaging, left a lingering sense of incompleteness. The long arc gave way to many intense moments, yet it seemed like there were still stories left untold.
It felt as if a myriad of characters had met tragic fates along the way, while new characters were introduced just to fill the void left by those losses. By the time the series concluded, it appeared to many fans that a number of plot threads were left dangling. The creator, Gege Akutami, hinted at potential explorations beyond the current narrative, but ultimately folded those ideas into Sukuna’s overarching threat. Thus, the notion that Sukuna was always meant to be the ultimate adversary felt a bit anticlimactic given the series' rich history.
“The world of Jujutsu Kaisen is vast, yet it feels limited in its conclusion.”
