The day Gege Akutami posted the final chapter of Jujutsu Kaisen, social networks exploded, not just out of joy, but out of a much more complex emotion: a combination of satisfaction, heartbreak, and controversy. This is characteristic of truly brave manga endings.
Final Outcome: Who Lives, Who Dies
Itadori Yuji survived, but not in the way fans expected. He continues to live with the burden of Sukuna that once resided in his body. Gojo Satoru sacrificed, his death remains the most controversial decision in shonen manga history, and Akutami did not "undo" it.
How Sukuna, the Villain Was Finally Defeated
The final battle with Ryomen Sukuna spanned over 30 chapters and is considered by many readers to be the best action arc in the entire manga. What's special is how Akutami dealt with Sukuna, not through sheer strength, but by taking away something Sukuna couldn't understand: the connection between humans.
Megumi Fushiguro, Tragedy Not Completely Resolved
The most controversial character in the ending is Megumi. After his body was taken over by Sukuna, his outcome was handled by Akutami in a purposefully ambiguous manner. Megumi “returns” but is not quite the same person, and the author leaves open the question of the extent of his recovery.
What Does Gege Akutami Want To Say?
Looking back at the entire journey, JJK is not a story about victorious heroes, but a story about ordinary people facing the inevitable and choosing to stand up despite it. Gojo Satoru died not because he was weak, but to prove that even the "strongest man in the world" has limits.
Score: 9.1/10, One of the Best Shounen Manga of the Decade
Despite all the controversy surrounding its ending, Jujutsu Kaisen remains one of the best shonen manga of the 2020s. Akutami creates a world with its own rules, characters with real depth, and battles choreographed with rare finesse. A 9.1/10 rating truly reflects the essence of an imperfect but genuinely great work.
