Gege Akutami’s Jujutsu Kaisen is nearing its conclusion and the manga series has become the talk of the anime community. With the release of chapter 266, Gege finally gave fans a glimpse of Megumi Fushiguro’s survival, taking everyone by surprise. After finally unlocking his domain, Yuji is now ranked as the strongest sorcerer, surpassing the likes of Gojo and Yuta.
Gojo Satoru held the title of the strongest sorcerer for years before his final showdown with the King of Curses, Ryomen Sukuna. Gege Akutami portrayed Gojo as the only formidable opponent for Sukuna, making viewers eagerly anticipate their face-off.
As of Chapter 266, Sukuna has annihilated most Jujutsu sorcerers, leaving Yuji alone to take down the King of Curses. With only a few chapters left for JJK‘s conclusion, viewers speculate about the return of iconic characters that Gege Akutami surprisingly foreshadowed months ago, which many fans overlooked.
Jujutsu Kaisen‘s Epilogue Might Feature the Return of Gojo, Nobara, Megumi, and Yuta
With the release of Chapter 266, the return of the iconic trio, Yuji, Nobara, and Megumi, seems more certain than ever. Several Jujutsu Kaisen fans were left emotionally scared by the tragic demise of two beloved characters, Nanami and Nobara. Nobara Kugisaki was first introduced in Season 1 as a first-year student at Tokyo Jujutsu High alongside, Yuji and Megumi.
The iconic JJK trio instantly became the crowd’s favorite, leaving a memorable impression on the audience. Sadly, Gege Akutami planned a tragic fate for our beloved female character, which left fans in agony. In JJK Season 2, it seemed Nobara lost her life to Mahito in front of Yuji Itadori, leaving our beloved protagonist deeply traumatized.
Surprisingly, Gege Akutami has remained secretive about Nobara’s existence throughout their narrative, leaving fans optimistic about her survival. Chapter 266 unfolds the secret location of the King of Curses’ last finger, bringing back the old theory about Nobara’s survival to light. The theory suggests that Nobara could play a crucial role in ending bloodshed by using her signature Resonance Curse Technique to launch a surprise attack on Sukuna and assist Yuji in landing the final blow.
Shockingly, Gege foreshadowed this numerous times, and even the Jujutsu Kaisen Phantom Parade theme song’s official music video (Avant) featured several references. Besides, Nobara the video also foreshadows the return of more iconic characters such as Gojo and Yuta, leaving fans in tears of excitement.
We are already aware of Megumi and Nobara’s return by the end of Jujutsu Kaisen; however, fans are still skeptical about Gojo Satoru’s potential comeback from the grave. Interestingly, JJK‘s Avant music video also shares some references for Gojo and Yuta’s return.
the avant mv not only confirmed nobara's return…it also confirmed yuta and gojo's return.

and i am going to explain why. #JJK267
we knew megumi would return no matter what, so of course this isn't news. but the other day i was rewatching this video, and i noticed something.… pic.twitter.com/XTxncQUmYo
In the video, viewers can witness several hand signs along with a ring in the middle symbolizing Yuta’s love for Rika. On the other hand, it also highlights a pair of hands surrounding an eye that’s opening, with multiple eyes swirling around it, emblematic of the Six Eye user, Gojo Satoru. Although the return of Gojo and Yuta is just speculation, Megumi and Nobara’s reappearance seems highly likely, leaving fans anticipating the rest of the JJK chapters.
A Big Three Creator’s Surprising Take on Jujutsu Kaisen’s Author
Gege Akutami’s dark-themed narrative played a vital role in Jujutsu Kaisen‘s enormous success in the community. Although the series featured several bittersweet moments, Jujutsu Kaisen left a lasting impression on the audience due to its compelling and unique narrative. Surprisingly, JJK‘s dark narrative made Tite Kubo, the creator of Bleach, have a distinct impression of Akutami.
In a joint interview with Gege Akutami, Kubo opened up about the surprising perception of the mangaka which he was relieved to be false after their first meeting. Tite Kubo revealed that he assumed Gege to have an evil personality symbolizing their narrative.
Gege Akutami is well-recognized for JJK‘s dark-themed narrative, with only a few chapters remaining fans are claiming Kagurabachi, a new rising star in the manga world, to be a potential successor to Jujutsu Kaisen.
