As the final battle rages on, Yuji is soon the only one still able to fight and damage Tsukuna, as he has the ability to target the “boundary” between Tsukuna and Fushiguro’s soul with his version of​​​​​​ Force the king of curses. Out of his body. Yuji activated his domain expansion and took Tsukuna and himself into a facsimile of Yuji’s hometown, and as Yuji showed Tsukuna everything from his old life and talked about how he had learned the value of life, Yuji told Sukuna to free Megumi and go back inside him if he didn’t want to die. Tsukuna naturally agrees to the idea, and the final battle between Yuuji and Tsukuna begins in Yuuji’s domain.
Yuji reconnected to Megumi’s soul, but in the meantime, Yuji tells Megumi that it’s okay if he wants to die. However, Yuji said that he would be lonely without him, and Yuji’s sadness was enough for Megumi to fight back against Sukuna againWith Megumi using Ten Shadows to shake Tsukuna so Yuuji can land more hits on him. This was not enough to stop Tsukuna from retrieving his cursed technique, but before Tsukuna could use Malevolent Shrine again, he was shocked to discover that Yuuji’s mysterious gloves were covering him missing a second finger.
Sukone quickly realized that Yuta had caught him earlier; Yuta obtained a copy of the Shrine not from eating Tsukona’s last finger, but from eating one of Yuji’s.

From there, Yuta is revealed to have successfully returned to his original body, and Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter #269 ended with everyone debating whether they could have done anything differently in the final battle.
Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter #270 was then devoted to tying up various loose ends. Since Sukuna ate Tengen before the final battle, his remains were used to sustain Tengen’s sleepers; After that, Maki tells Daido and Rokujushi to hide in Tokyo, declaring it a dangerous off-limits zone where curses run rampant, as reincarnated sorcerers are hunted down. Amai tried to apologize to the boy he hit, and Megumi had a little romantic moment with Hana.

Yuji puts this into practice by telling the curse user to reform and join them one day. With that optimistic note, Yuji’s time in Jujutsu Kaisen Finally came to a close.
Sukuna has the best ending of anyone in Jujutsu Kaisen
Sukuna was one of Jujutsu Kaisen’s best characters until the end
In another surprise twist, Jujutsu Kaisens final chapter brought both Sukuna and Mahito, the two talking in some form of afterlife. Mahito reveals that Sukuna became who he was to get revenge for the persecution he once suffered; Sukuna said that it didn’t matter, but he still admitted that he could have gone another way. Sukuna decided he would try to change himself if he was ever reincarnated, even as Mahito called him softAnd the last panel of Jujutsu Kaisen was of Sukuna’s last finger in a shrine, calling back to the first chapter of the series.
As nice as it was to see Tsukuna commit to his beliefs until his last breath, Tsukuna had the self-awareness to know that losing to Yuuji meant that his path had March had room to flesh out his character in a way consistent with his Personality, especially since Sukuna decided to change in his next life directly parallels Gojo decided to remain the same after death. Jujutsu Kaisen‘s ending didn’t have time to give everyone their due, and that makes it so surprising that Sukuna got a good ending like he did.
The ending of Jujutsu Kaisen is great, despite its many flaws
Jujutsu Kaisen ends on a mostly great note
Jujutsu Kaisen‘s ending is hardly perfect, even by typical manga standards. Jujutsu KaisenIt’s already fast pacing results in a finale that leaves a lot of the story feeling underdevelopedWhether it’s with the stories of some characters, a lack of meaningful interactions, or a lot of the world-building and plot threads that are left unaddressed at the end. in this matter, Jujutsu KaisenThe ending is quite disappointing, especially with how great the series has become in recent years.
However, it’s not as if nothing about it works. The conclusion to Yuji’s arc was great to watch, as clumsy as it may have been, and even with so much left up in the air, Jujutsu KaisenYuji’s finale shows his own way to break the cycle of cursesWhich serves to bring the rest of the story full circle in a somewhat satisfying way. It could not have been the best ending Jujutsu Kaisen Needed, but it still works very well, and hopefully, the anime and any other additions to the franchise will help make it even better.
