Fukuda’s encounter with the rough draft of an upcoming Jujutsu Kaisen chapter left the hosts of a One Piece themed variety show shocked, hinting at some mind-blowing twists in store for readers. As they conversed with Fukuda, it became apparent that the series’ creator, Gege Akutami, has already mapped out the conclusion of the manga.

According to Fukuda, Akutami unintentionally divulged his vision for the ending during a meeting, sharing his plans and how he wanted the story to unfold. Fukuda expressed his enjoyment at being “spoiled” on the plot, eagerly anticipating Akutami’s execution of the final narrative.

Akutami’s Planned Ending and Story Development

This revelation reaffirms Akutami’s earlier statement in the Jujutsu Kaisen fanbook, where he mentioned having a planned ending and only needing to determine the path leading up to it. For instance, Akutami had already decided the fate of one character, Megumi, while Yuji’s outcome remained uncertain at that time.

In a previous Jump Festa interview in 2019, Akutami mentioned two potential directions for the story’s progression. Either one of the main four characters (Gojo, Yuji, Megumi, and Nobara) would perish, or only one of them would survive. It remains to be seen if Akutami is still adhering to these initial plans.

Anticipating the Conclusion and the Future of Jujutsu Kaisen

During Jump Festa 2024, Akutami hinted that it would likely be the last time Jujutsu Kaisen participates in the event, implying that the manga may reach its conclusion by the end of 2024. Since its serialization in March 2018 in Weekly Shonen Jump, Jujutsu Kaisen has garnered immense popularity, with over 80 million copies in circulation as of July 2023.

The manga’s success led to a 24-episode anime adaptation produced by MAPPA, which aired from October 2020 to March 2021. A second season of the anime aired from July to December 2023. Additionally, a movie adaptation of the Jujutsu Kaisen prequel, titled Jujutsu Kaisen 0, premiered in Japan in December 2021.

As fans eagerly await the conclusion of Jujutsu Kaisen, the revelations made by editor Junya Fukuda have only heightened the anticipation. With Gege Akutami’s carefully planned ending in mind, readers can look forward to a thrilling and satisfying conclusion to this captivating manga series.
