Summary
This article contains spoilers from Jujutsu Kaisen’s Shinjuku Showdown Arc.
Jujutsu Kaisenis in its final arc right now, and fans absolutely cannot wait to see how the battle between Yuji and Sukuna concludes, and what the resolution at the end of the story is. It was recently announced thatJJKwill be concluding in five chapters, and this certainly left quite a lot of the fans perplexed.
Five chapters were not enough to wrap up the remaining plot points that the series has to tackle, and there are some of them that are incredibly important, both for the overarching story, and for individual character arcs as well.
7Sukuna’s Birth
Sukuna Was An Unwanted Child
Sukuna is a character that is shrouded in mystery. It is safe to say that while Sukuna is a very fascinating villain, he is a very underdeveloped character. Fans don’t know much about what Sukuna was like in the Heian era, why he became the way he is, and why, after so many years, his ideals are starting to shake.
Sukuna has become a fascinating threat, such that legends have been written about him. However, there is so much about him that fans don’t know that his death without any explanation would leave a very sour taste in their mouths. Sukuna even drew connections to Yuji’s dad recently, and fans know that he was born as a twin, and that he ate his brother in the womb. Things like these are incredibly exciting and need more elaboration by the author.
6Hakari And Uraume’s Battle
Hakari Vs Uraume Has Continued For A Year
One plot point that the author set up in the final arc ofJJKisa battle between Hakari and Uraume.These two characters have been at it for around 50 chapters now, but, there has been no resolution at all. In fact, fans didn’t even get to see them fight much, other than a few panels here and there.
This is a battle that needs to be resolved before JJK ends, or, it will all be for naught. Even if it is resolved, it is safe to say that this is one of the most underwhelming fights that fans have seen in the series as a whole.
5Nobara’s Mysterious Fate
Nobara Is Back But What Happened To Her Isn’t Known
Nobara was presumed dead after the events of Shibuya. However, instead of simply confirming her death, the author chose to leave it ambiguous. It was established that there was a very small chance for Nobara to stay alive. But, an explicit statement from the author confirming her death never came.
In the most recent chapters of JJK, the author seemingly implied that Nobara truly is dead, only for her to return in JJK chapter 267. Sadly, no explanation was given to the fans about what actually happened to her body and how she even returned. Hopefully, this will be touched upon before the story ends.
4Gojo’s Body And Yuta’s Life
Gojo And Yuta’s Fates Hang In The Balance
In to final arc ofJJK, fans have seen many exciting battles brewing, and the fight between Gojo and Sukuna was certainly one of them. At the end of this battle, Gojo ended up losing, and he died in the process. However, his body was taken, stitched up, and later possessed by Yuta, who had copiedthe technique of Kenjakuto accomplish this.
Yuta then fought against Sukuna, but eventually, his Copy technique ran out. Yuta is still in Gojo’s body right now, and fans don’t know what is going to happen to him yet. Either he’s going to die in Gojo’s body, or, he will likely stay in Gojo’s body forever. Either way, this is something that the author needs to resolve, because a proper funeral should be given to Gojo Satoru, if he truly is going to stay dead.
3The Merger
Kenjaku and Sukuna Planned A Merger
Quite easily, one of the most important plot points inJJKis the merger. This wasbrought up in the story by Kenjaku,and it was his biggest goal. Given that Kenjaku was an incredibly exciting villain, and certainly one of the biggest in the series, fans had hope that this plot point would come into action in the Final Saga.
In fact, Kenjaku was dealt a terrible death, which most fans absolutely hated, as it was very anticlimactic, and simply did not make sense. At the same time, when he died, he entrusted his goal of the merger with Sukuna. Now thatJJKis ending in three chapters, there is absolutely no way that this plot point could be dealt with properly, and fans only hope that it is resolved in one way or another.
2Geto and Yuki’s Goal
Geto and Yuki Wanted A Curse Free Society
Geto and Yuki shared similar goalsinJujutsu Kaisen.However, their approach to going about it was very different. Both of them wanted a society where cursed spirits did not exist. Yuki believes that for the number of cursed spirits to dwindle down, everyone needs to be taught the usage of cursed energy. In the case of Geto, the goal was to kill everyone who could not utilize cursed energy properly and wasn’t a sorcerer.
While their approaches were very different, both sought a society without any cursed spirits to haunt people. Yet, this plotline is the same as it was when it was first introduced.
1Yuji’s Ascension To The Strongest
Yuji Has To Become The Strongest At The End
Lastly, fans need to know what happens to the title of the strongest once Sukuna is dealt with. Currently,Yuji is at the end of the fight against Sukuna, and Gojo is dead. Neither of them can take the title of the strongest, which means that a new strongest must emerge.
This is likely going to be Yuji, or, someone else could come along and take this position for themselves. Either way, fans know that this is a plotline that the author needs to resolve, and one that he likely will tackle at the end of the story.
