Jujutsu Kaisen next week finally ends and fans are incredibly excited but sad at the same time. It can be said JJK is a story that has touched the hearts of many people around the world over the years. Yuji's journey has been spectacular to say the least, and fans have also seen a great cast, most of whom have been exciting for fans to watch over the years.
However, now the series is coming to an end and JJK chapter 271 will finally see Yuji, Nobara and Megumi for the last time before author Gege Akutami brings the curtain down on the series.
Yuji, Megumi and Nobara versus The New Curse User
- The final battle is about to be fought
- Fans are waiting for Gege's announcement
Quite easily, one of the most important plot points in JJK chapter 271 will be the curse user that was introduced in the previous chapter. Of course, fans haven't seen this curse user yet, but based on what was talked about in the previous episode, this curse user might be very powerful. The curse user hit the woman, though it's not serious at the moment. According to Megumi, there is no malice in this, but as the story moves forward, things could be very different. According to Megumi, this curse user is at least Semi-1st Grade or higher, with the potential ability to suppress how strong she really is. Fans absolutely can't wait to see what this curse user has to offer in the next chapter and how Yuji, Megumi and Nobara set out to exorcise this powerful individual.
It will be a walk in the park with the three of us! – Yuji
At the same time, fans also know that the upcoming chapter will give readers time to see the three main characters of JJK together. It's a great opportunity for them to show off what they've learned over the years, and maybe they'll all take their skills to the next level. Maybe this curse user will be strong enough to see Yuji use his domain extension and Megumi to show that he has completed his own as well. Perhaps Nobara will develop some new techniques, and these are things that fans will be incredibly excited to see in the upcoming chapter of JJK.
Jjk chapter 271 could also link this curse user to Culling. Megumi believes this individual to be the remaining player awakened by Kenjaku. Fans don't yet know who this person is and what their goal is, but things definitely look exciting in this story.
Is Gojo Coming Back In Jujutsu Kaisen?
No information has yet been provided on the fate of Gojo
JJK Chapter 271 will probably also solve the mystery of Gojo's return. As things stand, fans don't know anything about what happened to Gojo Satoru. Things are especially weird when it comes to Gojo, and that's because the author doesn't even seem to acknowledge his death. In the previous chapter of the series, Tsumiki, who fans know to be Megumi's sister, was seen getting her own grave and fans were given closure regarding that particular character. However, the same was not done for Gojo at all. What's even more surprising is that fans don't even know what happened to Gojo after Showdown Shinjuku. Yuji mentioned that he spoke to Goji personally, but other than that, nothing was revealed about the character's death, which is incredibly shocking to say the least.
Goodbye, Gojo Satoru! I will never forget you as long as I live! – Sukuna
Maybe Gege is doing this for a reason and Gojo is alive. There are plenty of hints in the story that suggest he may have survived, and as things stand, that may very well be true. Regardless, there isn't much to theorize about JJK Chapter 271 is the last in the entire series. If Gojo is indeed alive, fans will find out next week, finally settling once and for all the long debate about whether or not there is a possibility of Gojo coming back. These are the most important aspects of the story that JJK chapter 271 will cover and fans absolutely cannot wait.
Of course, there are many other loose ends in the story that still need to be wrapped up, but it is impossible for the author to do it all in a few pages. It's obvious that fans will have a lot of unsatisfied conclusions regarding JJK's ending, and whether or not these plot points are resolved and a proper conclusion is delivered regarding these loose ends depends on what the future of the story is from here on out.
The Future of Jujutsu Kaisen
Jujutsu Kaisen could continue the story for a sequel
WITH Jujutsu Kaisen is coming to an end, fans are wondering if the story will actually end or not. as things stand JJK it ends with chapter 271 and this was confirmed by the author. However, it remains to be seen if the story will wrap up forever or if there will be a part 2 or any other sequel. As things stand, the direction JJK is taking feels a bit confused and the story doesn't seem to be ending. If that is indeed the case, then the author is definitely not doing a good job of portraying the proper ending to the series.
Similarly, fans also know that a big announcement is coming next week with the final chapter of JJK. At the same time, the editor recently teased that there's a lot more to JJK, and whether it's just a message to spice up the final chapter, or if there's actually a possibility JJK to continue, fans will find out very soon. Hopefully next week everything will be clear and fans will have something to celebrate too.
Of course, if JJK doesn't continue, then fans will just have to make do with what they have here and hope Gege Akutami returns to jump down the line later with a new series of his own. Regardless of how the story ends next week, there's absolutely no disputing the fact that the author deserves a break. It's clear that knowing that Gege has had a lot of trouble putting out weekly chapters, especially lately, he's earned this break regardless of what fans think of his ending.
Jujutsu Kaisen has been one hell of a ride for all readers, and of course, while it has had its ups and downs, there's absolutely no discrediting the fact that this story changed modern Shonen in many ways and provided fans with countless moments of joy, regardless of whether Jujutsu Kaisen will continue or not.
The final chapter of Jujutsu Kaisen, JJK 271, is scheduled for release on September 29, 2024.
