Jujutsu Kaisen is leaving fans with high anticipation as it nears its end. Gege Akutami has confirmed that the series will not continue into 2025. The recent chapter also reveals that the result of Yuji and Sukuna’s battle is possibly going to end soon. Readers are struggling with the possibility that Yuji Itadori may meet the same end as Satoru Gojo.
There have been several casualties in the ongoing Shinjuku Showdown arc, the most notable one was Gojo. As the series continues to the finale, it intensifies speculation about the fate of the remaining characters. Particularly, Yuji is in a very dire situation going up against the King of Curses. He will either defeat Sukuna or lose his life in the process, but the latter possibility is quite high.
Satoru Gojo’s Death Leaves Fans Fearing the Worst
The death of Satoru Gojo was probably the least expected moment in the series which has left fans in shock. Akutami’s decision to strike out Gojo from the panel set a reminder that no one is safe in the jujutsu world. If they could do it to the most popular and strongest character of the series, then it could possibly happen to anyone.
Besides Gojo, there were Choso and Higuruma who fell victim to this arc. Even Yuta Okkotsu was last seen gravely injured. Akutami has also openly stated that they love to kill off the characters that fans love the most. This statement has heightened the sense of fear among fans of losing another fan-favorite character.
With Gojo’s death, fans are speculating who will be next. Thus the focus has been directed towards Yuji Itadori. His fate hangs in the balance as he is now in the grasp of Sukuna, who was responsible for splitting Gojo in half.
Jujutsu Kaisen Final Fight May Change Yuji Itadori’s Fate
Yuji Itadori is now the focus point for every Jujutsu Kaisen fan, as he is currently locked in a fierce final fight. With Akutami’s preferences, fans have already speculated that Yuji might sacrifice himself to save Megumi. It is likely to happen because the entire arc has been centered around rescuing Megumi from Sukuna’s possession.
The chances of Yuji’s death align with Akutami’s style of surprising fans’ expectations. It seems they like to keep fans guessing by plotting unexpected twists in the series that most mangaka don’t do. As the final battle is still continuing, there is no surety of what will happen to Yuji. He might survive just like Nobara or he might die like Gojo.
Jujutsu Kaisen fans are cautiously hopeful for an optimistic outcome for Yuji’s fate. The fear of past losses has taught them to prepare for the worst outcome. There are several speculations among the fanbase, but nothing can change the story if the mangaka has already made the decision.
Jujutsu Kaisen is currently available to watch on Crunchyroll and read the manga on Viz.
