Jujutsu Kaisen has been the talk of the community in recent months. As the series approaches its inevitable end, each chapter manages to traumatize the viewers more and more. At the conclusion of season two of Jujutsu Kaisen, which animated the Shibuya arc anime only viewers got the gist of what the story would be next.
Season one of the series was a perfect blend of a slice of life, magic, sorcerers, and fun moments. Although many fans believed it would be like this till the end of the series, Gege Akutami clearly stated to the fans that the story wouldn’t have any slice-of-life chapters post-Shibuya arc and proved it later with uncountable deaths.

The series achieved astonishing success in 2023; the anime managed to grab a spot in the top 3 most-in-demand shows worldwide.
The manga also achieved excellent sales all around the globe in 2023; however, the readers and fans have only been getting increasingly depressed following Shibuya.
Jujutsu Kaisen season one could be one of the most deceiving seasons in all of anime. The first season was jolly and enjoyable, with little to no traumatizing events.
Many fans even mistook it for a slice-of-life anime, and with so many happy moments in the story, no one knew what they were in for the next season.
The author of the series briefed the audience way back in 2021 about the series entering dark territory and never being the same again.

Many fans failed to gasp at the statement’s sincerity, but Gege proved their words by turning the franchise into one of the most traumatizing stories of all time, with characters dying every chapter.
Gege Akutami is known for being a troll and killing any character if necessary for the story’s progression.
No matter how popular the character is among the audience, if necessary for plot progression, he would be exiled from the story, with famous examples being Gojo, Nanami, and Nobara.
The only way a viewer or reader can enjoy the series to the fullest without getting depressed is by being a Sukuna fan.
What’s happening in Jujutsu Kaisen?
Jujutsu Kaisen is currently on a break but released Chapter 247 in December 2023, one of the most exciting yet sad chapters in the entire series.
Sukuna got jumped by Jujutsu sorcerers, but the king of curses broke through them without breaking a sweat. He also dealt a fatal blow to Choso, whose current situation is unknown.
The king of curses was enjoying his fight with Higuruma, whose talent managed to fascinate him, and he even compared Higuruma to Gojo Satoru in terms of talent.
Unfortunately, due to having minimal experience as a sorcerer, he proved to be an easy hurdle for Sukuna, who slashed him. Still, during that brief moment, Higurama gave the executioner’s sword to Itadori Yuji.
The sword can exorcise souls, and during the last panel, it seems that Itadori is about to hit Sukuna. We have to wait until January 21 to see what happens next.
