Warning: Contains spoilers for Jujutsu Kaisen chapter #269.One major point of conflict with Jujutsu Kaisen‘s final arc is the idea that it was incredibly rushed. Even with the last arc running for a little over a year, most of it was spent on the long fight against Sukuna, and with only a few chapters left, there’s nowhere near enough time to properly close some of​​​​ The lingering story. Plot threads.
The Jujutsu Kaisen Manga rushing its final arc has been criticized since it started, and chapter #269 only makes the criticism even worse. Chapter #269 finally addressed the lore surrounding Simple DomainSomething people have been questioning since the early days of the series, but thanks to his handling, this big lore cap only served to prove how rushed the final arc was. A lot of that is symptomatic of some of the bigger issues with Jujutsu Kaisen.
Jujutsu Kaisen wasted what could have been a major story arc
The simple field story of Jujutsu Kaisen should have been expanded
in Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter #269, it was revealed that the head of the New Shadow Style, the school that monopolizes Simple Domain, has limited its use to binding vows that involve a person’s life while simultaneously building an army to rival the three main families and Eventually take over jujutsu society. More shockingly, it was revealed that Mei Mei had already killed the head of the New Shadow Style and replaced them with Kusakabe sometime before the final battle.
Everything that was revealed about Simple Domain and the New Shadow Style had the perfect makings for a good story arc; The heroes dealing with a hidden conspiracy could have been used to further develop jujutsu society, and it would have been an easy and organic way to have characters learn Simple Domain before the final battle. Unfortunately, the whole story was dealt with as quickly as it was introduced.
Jujutsu Kaisen continues to be hurt by his pacing until the end
Everything around the lore of Simple Domain is the ultimate end result of The negative side of Jujutsu KaisenIt’s fast paced. Although this aspect of the series was initially seen as a highlight, over the years, Jujutsu Kaisen Was heavily criticized for its fast pacing because of how it led to rushed story arcs and minimal character development, And the Simple Domain plot is one of the most egregious examples of this.
Although it is common for manga to end their stories in a rushed manner due to impending cancellation or the author’s desire to end a series (usually for health reasons), Jujutsu Kaisen Never suffered from the constraints. Its rushed ending is simply an aspect of how fast-paced and compressed the story is, and unfortunately, Jujutsu Kaisen‘s final arc probably suffered as a result of this.
