This article contains spoilers for the manga “Jujutsu Kaisen.” Reader discretion is advised.
The recent leaked chapter of “Jujutsu Kaisen” has generated intense controversy among fans of the popular series, leaving the community divided. The chapter, which marks the end of the battle against Ryomen Sukuna and his apparent final death, as well as the long-awaited return of Megumi Fushiguro and Nobara Kugisaki to the main trio, has been harshly criticized by many fans who feel that the ending was bland and rushed. However, some have come to the defence of author Gege Akutami, arguing that the narrative remains consistent with the story he has constructed.
The leaked chapter reveals the return of Megumi Fushiguro, who had been absent due to her possession by Sukuna, allowing fans to see the main trio reunited alongside Nobara and Yuji Itadori. This event, which in other contexts might have been a cause for celebration, has been met with a wave of criticism due to the way the final battle against Sukuna was handled.
The apparent final death of Sukuna, who has been one of the most formidable villains in the series, has also generated controversy. While some fans consider his defeat to be a fitting closure, others feel the resolution was abrupt and lacked the emotional impact they were hoping for.especially after the anticipation that surrounded this confrontation for months.
- «That was the most rushed ending ever. Oh my god, I know there are 3 chapters left, but still, I didn't expect that.».
- «I saw someone say that they still have hope for Gojo to come back… if Gojo comes back, this will be my first manga with a 0/10».
- «Just out of curiosity, what would have made it better? Or what do you think made it as bad as they say?».
- «I like Jujutsu Kaisen, but that chapter makes me not want to even read the last 2».
- «The moment Gojo was killed off-screen, I knew the manga was going to go downhill from there.».
- «I'm a fan of Jujutsu Kaisen and I know that ending isn't the best, it's crap».
- «The whole manga was great, but after seeing those leaks, it's brutal».
- «I mean, there are no good series of the new generation».
- «Wouldn't it be crazy if Gege surprises with the last 3 chapters? I don't know how he could do it. But remember there's still one finger left. Sukuna isn't done yet? Something like in Vinland Saga, “I have no enemies” could happen.».
- «They handled Uraume and Hakari very poorly. But I enjoyed Sukuna's ending.».
- «Gojo didn't return to 1% and I also think he needed the author to play with jokes».
- «I'm crying, I can't believe that almost a year in advance ended with Uraume committing suicide».
- «THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING, WHAT THE HELL IS THIS, GEGE?».
- «HOW DID JUJUTSU KAISEN HAVE A WORSE ENDING THAN ATTACK ON TITAN, DEMON SLAYER AND MY HERO ACADEMIA COMBINED, OH MY GOD, WHAT THE HELL, GEGE?».
- «My condolences, after the end of My Hero Academia I felt the same as a villain fan… just know that Sukuna was truly a great main villain and one of the best of all time».
- «I demand the heads of those who threw shit at My Hero Academia and who defend this thing».
- «Yes, it's awful. Look, Naruto with Pain had a well-written rationale to be able to forgive Nagato and yet people criticized it. This is literally nonsensical bullshit and I'll see people justifying it. I can't stand the fakes anymore.».
- «But the thing about Deku and Shigaraki was something that was dealt with throughout the entire work, whether you like it more or less is up to you, but this was never ever raised and wait, you'll see how they will defend it.».
- «What I find most amusing about Jujutsu Kaisen is that in the end Gege really didn't have the balls to kill off his main cast. I mean, all of the characters who died in the battle were either very recent characters or characters who were created to die. Literally, not one of the actual main cast dies. Is he the heartless monster everyone thought he was? The guy couldn't just leave Nobara, Megumi, and even Yuji dead.».
- «We killed Kimetsu no Yaiba for less. But in the end it was always the hope of shonen. Thank you for so much, Kimetsu, and sorry for so little.».
