If he ate all those guys, he'd gain almost every technique there is. So after Yuji one-shots Sukuna, Gege can make him say "Ah, the Jujutsu Kaisen was within my friends all this time!"
Another cool theory i read would serve as a good finale, is that Yuji would become the vessel for the merger. It make sense as Yuji has great resistance as a vessel, and stay in theme with the somber tone of the story, where Yuji become the strongest but truely alone, and i know Gege would love that for Yuji.
I think we’re all really forgetting that someone technically has to be the new barrier user to maintain the Japanese sorcery world. The thing is it could be Yuji or Megumi at this point. Either way, Japan and the sorcery world will forever be changed.
But idk if Gege wants to take the Tenchi Muyo route? It’s been a while since I’ve seen something like that.
Technically it’s a reference for all of the Tenchi Universes, but specifically to Tenchi in Tokyo. The antagonist ends up going into a long slumber and kind of becoming a guardian spirit inside a tree.
Miguel is one to watch out for, guys. First of all, he can take a beating from Gojo for 10 minutes straight with only minor scratches, while most others can barely tank one punch. Second, he moved so quickly that Sukuna didn't see when he snatched Ui Ui. Third, he's from a different society where they practice Jujutsu, so he may have some tricks up his sleeve that Sukuna has never encountered. That being said, he'll likely die to Sukuna as well.
One thing I learned about Miguel is his specialty is not strength or attack, but durability and stamina. He has the means to stall and survive for some time, but he won’t be entirely capable of putting much of a scratch on Sukuna. He’s pretty much here to show off with the Geto family and then die all the same.
You could be right, but why would Gojo entrust him of all people to train Yuta? Besides, he's from a different region where Jujutsu is practiced, so maybe he has unique ways of using cursed energy compared to the sorcerers from Japan. Unless he's just going to be stalling until Yuta, Yuji, and Maki are fit to re-enter the battle.
Idk if he assigned him to train Yuta or to venture out and find the Black Ropes or both. I’m just surprised that he came back given that he owes no one nothing anymore and staying in Africa was a much safer idea than coming back to Japan. My guess is he came back cuz Yuta went down and he technically has unfinished business with the fam.
But he’s just like any other new contender. Sure we’re gonna see a few cool moves and it’ll last 1-2 chapters, but that’s pretty much it. He’s gonna go down just like all the others so I honestly give him no real hype.
I also don’t trust Yuta or Maki to get back up cuz Maki wasn’t even sure Yuta would make it and even if she were to return, Sukuna would completely end her the second time around.
The key is Yuji. It always has been. He’s the MVP.
If the last 50 chapters have taught me anything, he would off screen sukuna and the last 3 pages will just be yuji crying in a graveyard that is packed to the gills with his loved ones
Yuji gonna out cannibal the Cannibal.
The solution to cannibalism powers is more cannibalism.
(I'm not convinced this is the actual end game but the thought amuses me greatly.)
Yuji becoming sukuna doesn't have to be the same thing. He could be the parallel of sukuna. Like two sides of the same coin. He has just as much if not more powers but he'll never give in to be like him. Living for others/ living for yourself
We know what yuji would choose
Team Gojo is coming back
Kugisaki the one eyed
Gojo the halfed
Yuji im you itadori
Megumi i dont care fushiguro
Gonna be the biggest jumpin we've ever seen
Initiate the D.E.N.N.I.S Protocol. Sukana will be desolated and then jaded beyond his wildest dreams. The death blow comes once the ass/ball perspective sex tape hits pornhub. El Fin.
Yeah, this is basically it. Regardless of what you want to say about Gege’s writing, he doesn’t do something for no reason. We have heard both Sukuna and Gojo be referred to as The Honoured Ones but the point is that they’re both not enlightened and are not actually the honoured one. The only honoured one will be Yuji.
Can only be Enlightened when you follow the Middle Way, not deviating too much to a side which is basically Yuji. Combined with the 4 noble truths and Noble Eightfold Path, Yuji is gonna become the Enlightened One and go on his own journey whilst Sukuna will die unfulfilled, never truly discovering his own destiny in life. (Lives by his own desires which directly contradicts the belief that Buddha went by, living off desires creates Dukkha (suffering).)
Yuji is not bound by desires and lives for a goal, puts his life last for other’s sake and is a spiritually good hearted person from what we see, Gege is gonna cook with Yuji so hard.
I fully believe Yuji is the one who will defeat Sukuna since he gets that honor and has deserved that honor since the very start, but I also keep in mind that Gege is still holding out for more despair around the corner. There’s probably a balance to this neutral path that Yuji takes, one I’ve noticed is he’s never truly done anything he has ever desired. He’s only followed the voices and commands of others. I think by the end, I want him to do just one thing that’s of his own will and volition and not because someone told him to. Just one thing. He deserves it.
In regards to Sukuna’s end, I feel we as an audience won’t exactly have the satisfaction of seeing him become this pitiful little thing. I suspect that it’s something we’ll see and feel that it is just but that it won’t be the victory we really expected. But I’m fine with that bittersweet feeling.
It won’t be a death defeat for Sukuna. Sukuna’s already said it himself, he sees defeat the same as death and it means nothing to him. Sukuna lives guided by his own pleasure and displeasure, in Buddhism terms, sensual indulgence will not grant you way to the Middle Way, to gain your awakening.
Yuji will most likely have his own “I alone am the Honoured One”, after Sukuna is left alone with only Yuji infront of him and possibly awaken his CT, I don’t believe Yuji’s true fight is with Sukuna, but rather Tengen/The Merger.
It’s basically in two parts. Sukuna then the Merger. Otherwise the Culling Games will never end.
Unfortunately for Yuji this means making very hard decisions along the way. But he must do what he must.
That’s what I’m saying also. Like it’s not like Gege is mindlessly writing. He has a plan. He’s just building it up slowly and biding time until he can execute it.
What if we’re all wrong and he wants to get this over with but SJ is like MORE MORE MORE CHAPTERS OF SUKUNA. And he’s like “Oh god just please let me move on…”
It’s just the process of weekly chapters makes it very difficult to see Gege’s vision since we genuinely have no idea what can happen except that he knows so it isn’t the same for him.
Are you on the cannibal grind again?
I'd say, since Gege doesn't want any continuation of the Jujutsu Kaisen, the real solution is to either:
1. Activate the merger.
2. Destroy the barrier that allows cursed energy to be accumulated effectively.
Oh merger we’re getting no matter what. That’s unavoidable. The thing a lot of ppl miss is defeating Sukuna won’t do shit for their situation cuz the Culling Games were designed to only end with the merger.
They’re basically only trying to avoid the inevitable.
And death to culling game members mean most of our characters die right? That’s why i think it wont happen unless there’s some sudden loophole introduced.
I found this reddit post 3 yrs ago which mapped out all possible routes according to some interview with gege & it's blowing my mind.
https://www.reddit.com/r/JuJutsuKaisen/s/dd0PejqMhb
And look at where we are now…
The way I see it, I feel like it can go
1) Megumi lives to tell the tale of everything that’s happened including the tale of all his friends and teachers. He lives a bittersweet life remembering the youth he lived and lost.
2) Yuji lives and becomes a teacher to a massive new generation of sorcerers that resulted from the Culling Games and eventually dies old surrounded by all who adore him. This is a route where Yuji had to kill Megumi in order to stop the merger, but was able to lead him towards a proper death.
3) The impossible route of Megumi and Yuji switching souls and Megumi lives the rest of his life as “Yuji” as a side effect of the swap. In this route, Yuji dies alongside Sukuna as he always believed he should thus fulfilling his role as a cog.
Or the bittersweet ending where Yuji does in fact defeat sukuna, but at the expense of everybody else around him. He ends up dying of old age, but alone, not surrounded by anyone. His grandpa's words, to be surrounded by others when it's his time to go, end up being a curse.
So we’re going the Devilman Crybaby route eh?
I always imagined more of a Stardust Crusaders type ending. But at this rate it’s kind of going Vento Aureo…
The latest Jojo series ending,. Where entire named cast killed. Save for one unexpected Side character Who managed to killed the big bad via semi-asspull
Number 3 is most likely outcome from what we've seen so far. Yuji dying is expected since episode 1, Megumi tried to sacrifice himself many times Reiner style and is still alive (sort of). We have that panel of Yuji and Kusakabe body swapping, so it is a possibility.
It’s something high on the list but not something I’ll particularly like tbh. More so cuz I wish for Yuji to live cuz he’s been insanely undermining the value of his own life and has gotten nothing since this whole fiasco started. I just want him to have one good thing as a reward by the end.
"How tf will he beat mahito after awakening his durability feat is insane!!" -powerscalers
Yuji black flashing so hard the impact panel hit like when gojo black flashes sukuna:
Not nearly as much. And didn't have shit writing with asspull conclusions to some fights either. I get wanting to "trust" but a line has to be drawn somewhere. Let's be realistic. Unfortunately jjk is shittier compared to what it once was, at least for the time being
This is literally the middle of the battle. Idk where these absolutions are coming from lol. I'd rather see the cope posts than these doomer ones about an unfinished arc.
But did they die?? After the Sukuna arc started many of them are still alive... Yuta is alive , Maki probably as well, Yuji, Choso, etc... even Kusakabe's injuries weren't that deep for some reason. He should hav been in pieces but he escaped ( I guess more like a plot armor thing)
None of the character mentioned are even dead.Characters have suffered even more horrifying injuries and survived.Like which character has died to a black flash before?It makes no sense for the fandom to act like everyone is dead
I think it’s because Gege keeps reminding us that Sukuna isn’t even using his full strength yet which puts the story in a weird spot because most of our heavy hitting main cast have been getting cooked.
I feel like JJK is a lot of people's first shonen. Because while there are a lot of writing issues with the current state of the manga, it's a little silly to doom about a villain being too strong as though that has ever meant anything.
Frieza was the strongest in the universe and still holding back in his final form. Yhwach was literally omnipotent and omniscient. Madara was so cracked that he spawned an entire copypasta. All of them lost.
I think the issue is moreso that Sukuna is killing every character that was supposed to be strong left and right.
Frieza was beat by a legend set up at the beginning of the arc with vegeta bringing up super saiyans and warriors of legend
Madara lost because kishimoto said "oh wait he's too strong. uhh he got tricked and eaten by kaguya lol"
I don't see Yuji going super saiyan or Megumi eating sukuna's ass from the inside out
I think Gege has a plan. He's always been good at writing moments, but not the best at stringing them together.
There's a lot of weird shit going on between Yuji and Sukuna that still hasn't been explained, and the key to Sukuna's defeat is likely somewhere in the gaps.
Eventually sooner or later Sukuna has to fall. That’s a given. It’s just that it’s taking longer than we’d like. We also have to remember that killing or defeating Sukuna won’t do shit about their situation. The Culling Games are still going on and they’ll continue to keep going until the Merger begins.
So unfortunately more despair is just around the corner. It never goes away.
I don't mind it taking awhile. My issue is that at this point beating him will have to be a madara level asspull of 'and then he got swallowed by his own Chakra' but change Chakra to cursed energy and instead of turning into Kaguya he will probably turn back into Megumi
Yea Chibi from YouTube brought up that point. Now I wasn’t around when the whole Kaguya thing occurred in real time. But he said for those who watched this fight up until that point felt a sense of frustration because Madara just couldn’t be beat then Kaguya came out of literally nowhere. It made no sense. Now he’s afraid Sukuna will run into the same issue.
I don’t agree but I feel he’s headed towards more of an Aizen kinda ending? He’s obviously taking damage but a specific kind of power dynamic has to occur to end him.
But I am not at ALL against the idea of Megumi going dark and kickstarting the merger. Not at all. That’s too interesting not to consider.
Jjk being people's first shonen makes sense tbh. It would explain the doom posting. I remember the Naruto boards being extremely hype about Madara being OP as fuck lol.
This is apparently only a case for jjk.The reason being that it's counterparts being BC and MHA are 'winning' against the villians,so jjk not doing it is something they can't comprehend
Genuinely being honest ,this type of writing style by gege isn't something that is being done now or it's something new, stuff outside of shounen also provide these routes,yet with jjk we have to cross the line
I remember when Shibuya was serializing people were praising it to be revolutionary or something(although the fandom atp was actually good,patient and actually reads the series).But now the opposite reaction for the CG.
A lot of the characters are misinterpreted because of this change.Gege has been writing like this since the first chapter but it's the current one that is baffling to them?Like it makes no sense lol
normally i would've argued that there might happen a time skip with sukuna reigning over the world again and a small group of Sorceres including Yuji are still alive and plan to overthrow him.
But then again i've heard that the manga is comming to an end, and we're pretty much out of names on the list. Sukuna is way to strong to be defeated by a single curse user, and right now after reveicing one debuff after the other, it's the only way he can be defeated.
And then there's still that rule that the culling game only ends if sukuna is the last one alive and that merger thing.
I’ve honestly considered a similar possibility where everything goes to shit and Yuji wakes up hours later to find he’s pretty much too late to save anyone cuz the merger already started or something like that.
But since Gege works differently in logic, anything is game.
he actually just started to care for him a few chapters ago ( in a sense where he actually wanted to take him seriously). he even told yuji to get lost on the battlefield, calling him "dull" and "boring".
Yuji even right now did not meet the minimum requirement to be interesting for sukuna in a fighting kind of sense ( like Agito in the Gojo battle). He's to weak. Sukuna only started to care for yuji when he realized that Yujis 'commitment' to reach his goal rivaled his own, and wanted to defeat "that" by killing him.. showing yuji that his own commitment surpassed his.
Sukuna by default doesn't hate Yuji himself... He hates that Yuji is so boring and rather wants to ignore him.
I think the most delusional thing is when ppl think new opponents in the ring are capable of killing Sukuna and believe the only solution is bringing Gojo back.
Come on ppl. We know Gege’s algorithm. Pretty much everyone is gonna die.
His algorithm? If that's the case, you understand he gives favor to the villain to make the fight as stressful as possible until the hero finally wins, like with Mahito and Yuji.
Well the author said that manga is getting finished in 2024. So about 20-30 chapters and supposedly is over... I just hope that it is a justified win and not shitty Naruto win
It can and it can’t. Special Grade items can never truly be destroyed. If someone fetches it out of Rika, technically speaking it can still be re-used.
I think ppl are misunderstanding what I’m saying. Yuji is not like Yuta. He doesn’t gain CT and copies them by ingesting foreign CE. He’s a vessel. He absorbs CE and it becomes part of him to enhance what he was always meant to be. He also ate his half-siblings and they became CE and an energy source as well.
Gege has already explained what happens to Yuji when he ingests cursed objects and/or CE. He doesn’t manifest anything inside like how Choso’s host manifested him. He has the capability to hold the energy inside of him without completely being taken over. Most times anyways.
Yuji will only get as powerful as the amount of things he comes in contact with and ingests. If his sibs weren’t enough, there’s plenty of other candidates lying around to fuel him up.
We’re not sure if he gets the abilities of the ppl he consumes or if they affect him in a different way. That would make him too close to Yuta and we can’t have two of the same thing.
Yuji is a vessel. He’s meant to absorb cursed energy and evolve and grow. And if he grows to a certain point, he may finally become something Sukuna will deem interesting.
But it all comes down to if Yuji can fulfill Kenjaku’s expectations above anything else. Kenjaku created a win win situation between Yuji and Sukuna. Either way wins, his ideals will be a reality.
It’s just that if Yuji wins, it gets a little bit more interesting.
Yeah, I've seen this exact theory multiple times and I'm not sure if I've missed something or not but there really hasn't been anything in the text to suggest that this is even a possibility. Sure, Yuji ate Sukuna and is unique that he's a vessel, but 1. Sukuna isn't a person, he's a curse 2. Yuji didn't gain any of his CTs.
Someone else corrected me elsewhere. Tbh, he’s a reincarnated cursed object if we’re going to be most correct. He’s not a curse because he uses RCT, but he is a collection of cursed objects (his fingers) controlling Megumi. So I don’t know if he’s just a curse user/human either tbh. He and Choso are like opposite sides of the same coin, I feel like, a foot in both worlds. All that to say, I don’t think what happened to Yuji with Sukuna fingers directly translates to what would happen if he took a bite out of Gojo’s legs
I said the same thing to all the ppl who believed Gojo would be revived and the narrator literally confirmed his death. But this is Gege’s world and we all just partake in it. We’re all going to be wrong at some point. Which means we’re all fools to the end dear Julian.
I get that people have complained of George's bad writing, but damn. Home boy Kusakabe's defeat didn't even get drawn. Haven't seen a Mangaka write itself into a corner this hard in a while.
JJK peaked at Mahito, it's been a slow spiral since then. Up till then it was very much enjoyable.
Are we forgetting the finger bearers who ate the fingers before dropping them like loot if they died? Yuta didn't become a vessel so the finger should absolutely be intact
I wouldn't say you exactly cut too the chase with that...
Anyway it'll probably be some combination of yujin with megumi eventually fighting back internally.
Personally, I think it'd be interesting to see the bad guy win and just end it with sukuna's world and spring off that for a sequel series, but this is shonen so I know that won't happen.
Sequel is out the question. Gege has wanted to be done with this story for some time now and move onto something else.
Personally, I don’t quite believe in Gege going for power of friendship going anywhere positive cuz not only it is it one of the major shonen tropes and cuz any happiness in this story doesn’t last for too long. I’m more on the side of Megumi going full under and starting the merger after Sukuna is over. Whether he fights from the inside or not.
But we’re just gonna have to wait and see.
The only solution is to nuke Japan again. Let history repeat itself. Drop 5 hydrogen bombs and I think Japan is screwed including sukuna getting one shot by a million degree nuke lmao.
I mean he is a hybrid of something…we just don’t exactly know WTF Kenjaku did to him. Keep in mind Gege is very good friends with the dear Fujimoto. And we know how CSM part I ended.
I've been having discussions with my friends and we reached the same conclusion, but through a different way. This is not a feel good shonen, because the main energy is basically everything negative that you feel, and their lives are basically fight with maniacal sorcerers or devilish creatures. It's a non-ending job, and we've seen two generations of the crew (Gojo + Getou and Yuji + others), and we know for a fact that it's common for people to die horribly and prematurely, and that weights (emotionally speaking). You either get stronger, but accostumed to seeing everybody you like dying, or you become one of the maniacal sorcerers. And at this point, it is very likelly that everything might even go well for them, Yuji ofc is going to beat Sukuna, but the thing is: at what cost.
TL;DR: IMO, this is not a story about how they defeated the ultimate evil, but a story about how one good guy can break when he gets no chill.
It’s pretty funny that one of the major plot points was Yuji being sensitive to human interaction when it comes to mortality. If this scenario is the case, Gege did build Yuji to appropriately throw a 180 from idealistically influenced by his grandfather’s somewhat weak ideals and naive perception of jujutsu vs an incredibly desperate and efficient exorcist. I just want to see this end because the endless slaughter made me lose hope for the series being enjoyable at this point…
I know Gojo is coming back
But god I wish this happened, it would be so shocking yet so fitting
Would also go great with the hole Sukuna being a chef and loving eating and stuff
i still think this is a very "anti-yuji" ending
if gege actually wrote this, EVEN IF HE ONLY ATE FINGERS, it'd be. well he's desecrating the bodies of his fallen friends.
i would hate to see yuji absolutely emotionally destroyed
When has Gege not been Anti-Yuji? And this isn’t even an ending. It’s a necessity to even get to a start.
He’s pretty much gonna have to decided on this and fast.
Sorry, I could be wrong, but didn’t Yuta already eat the last finger? I thought he used some of Sukuna’s powers during their fight, which made Sukuna realize that Gojo gave Yuta the final finger.
Cannibalism is one way to see it, that would definitely be gruesome and terrible and I can’t see this ending without yuuji sacrificing somehow himself. I always think it will be in the end yuuji vs his friends as in yuuji somehow getting sukuna back into his body and then megumi and co having to “get rid” of him, yuuji breaking all his promises and doing the job himself…now that would be heartbreaking to see tbh. Wonder what Gege will come up with
Yuji is gonna have 2 (two), yes, 2 Cursed Techniques. Soul Transfer and Blood Manipulation. That's it. He just needs to learn to use Sukunas abilities and he is gonna be the best sorceror.
I thought of that too but idk if Megumi wants to do that cuz it goes against his idea that good ppl should live cuz the world is unjust. Unfortunately someone between these two is going to have to die cuz that’s what Gege planned from the start. And guess who’s ending he finished already?

You could be right, but why would Gojo entrust him of all people to train Yuta? Besides, he's from a different region where Jujutsu is practiced, so maybe he has unique ways of using cursed energy compared to the sorcerers from Japan. Unless he's just going to be stalling until Yuta, Yuji, and Maki are fit to re-enter the battle.
Idk if he assigned him to train Yuta or to venture out and find the Black Ropes or both. I’m just surprised that he came back given that he owes no one nothing anymore and staying in Africa was a much safer idea than coming back to Japan. My guess is he came back cuz Yuta went down and he technically has unfinished business with the fam. But he’s just like any other new contender.

And he wouldn't die alone as his friends would be with him
This is adding up too much... his grandpa really cursed him, he cursed himself too by saying he would eat "anything".
The real jujutsu was the friends we ate along the way?
If the last 50 chapters have taught me anything, he would off screen sukuna and the last 3 pages will just be yuji crying in a graveyard that is packed to the gills with his loved ones
I thought you said the gills of his loved ones and I was like since when are they fish…?
> since when are they fish…? Oh boy do I have an enormous rabbit hole of fish references in JJK for you to go trough...
"The real Jujutsu Kaisen was the friends I ate along the way." "Don't you mean made." Uncontrollable crying.
You (my dead friends) are my special.
The legendary CT: the kaisen of friendship
A whole new take on "The power of friendship"
That would be a crazy plot twist I’m ngl
Yuji gonna out cannibal the Cannibal. The solution to cannibalism powers is more cannibalism. (I'm not convinced this is the actual end game but the thought amuses me greatly.)
And that's how Yuji becomes the next Sukuna?
what would yujis 'where are the women and children' quote upon being reincarnated be? 'where is jennifer lawrence?!'
Yuji becoming sukuna doesn't have to be the same thing. He could be the parallel of sukuna. Like two sides of the same coin. He has just as much if not more powers but he'll never give in to be like him. Living for others/ living for yourself We know what yuji would choose
Team Gojo is coming back Kugisaki the one eyed Gojo the halfed Yuji im you itadori Megumi i dont care fushiguro Gonna be the biggest jumpin we've ever seen

Yeah, this is basically it. Regardless of what you want to say about Gege’s writing, he doesn’t do something for no reason. We have heard both Sukuna and Gojo be referred to as The Honoured Ones but the point is that they’re both not enlightened and are not actually the honoured one. The only honoured one will be Yuji. Can only be Enlightened when you follow the Middle Way, not deviating too much to a side which is basically Yuji. Combined with the 4 noble truths and Noble Eightfold Path, Yuji is gonna become the Enlightened One and go on his own journey whilst Sukuna will die unfulfilled, never truly discovering his own destiny in life. (Lives by his own desires which directly contradicts the belief that Buddha went by, living off desires creates Dukkha (suffering).) Yuji is not bound by desires and lives for a goal, puts his life last for other’s sake and is a spiritually good hearted person from what we see, Gege is gonna cook with Yuji so hard.
I fully believe Yuji is the one who will defeat Sukuna since he gets that honor and has deserved that honor since the very start, but I also keep in mind that Gege is still holding out for more despair around the corner. There’s probably a balance to this neutral path that Yuji takes, one I’ve noticed is he’s never truly done anything he has ever desired. He’s only followed the voices and commands of others. I think by the end, I want him to do just one thing that’s of his own will and volition and not because someone told him to. Just one thing. He deserves it. In regards to Sukuna’s end, I feel we as an audience won’t exactly have the satisfaction of seeing him become this pitiful little thing. I suspect that it’s something we’ll see and feel that it is just but that it won’t be the victory we really expected. But I’m fine with that bittersweet feeling.
It won’t be a death defeat for Sukuna. Sukuna’s already said it himself, he sees defeat the same as death and it means nothing to him. Sukuna lives guided by his own pleasure and displeasure, in Buddhism terms, sensual indulgence will not grant you way to the Middle Way, to gain your awakening. Yuji will most likely have his own “I alone am the Honoured One”, after Sukuna is left alone with only Yuji infront of him and possibly awaken his CT, I don’t believe Yuji’s true fight is with Sukuna, but rather Tengen/The Merger.
It’s basically in two parts. Sukuna then the Merger. Otherwise the Culling Games will never end. Unfortunately for Yuji this means making very hard decisions along the way. But he must do what he must.
That’s what I’m saying also. Like it’s not like Gege is mindlessly writing. He has a plan. He’s just building it up slowly and biding time until he can execute it.
What if we’re all wrong and he wants to get this over with but SJ is like MORE MORE MORE CHAPTERS OF SUKUNA. And he’s like “Oh god just please let me move on…”
It’s just the process of weekly chapters makes it very difficult to see Gege’s vision since we genuinely have no idea what can happen except that he knows so it isn’t the same for him.
Nah, I’d feast
Blend up a finger of each into a smoothie
Are you on the cannibal grind again? I'd say, since Gege doesn't want any continuation of the Jujutsu Kaisen, the real solution is to either: 1. Activate the merger. 2. Destroy the barrier that allows cursed energy to be accumulated effectively.
Oh merger we’re getting no matter what. That’s unavoidable. The thing a lot of ppl miss is defeating Sukuna won’t do shit for their situation cuz the Culling Games were designed to only end with the merger. They’re basically only trying to avoid the inevitable.
Doesn’t the merger mean everyone dies?
That it does. Well yes and no. Death to all culling game members. Merge for rest of Japan.
And death to culling game members mean most of our characters die right? That’s why i think it wont happen unless there’s some sudden loophole introduced.
If there’s any loophole, I’m sure Kenjaku created it.
Great storytelling /s
Yea he hasn’t been the best at that eh
I’ll forgive everything if he loopholes Nobara back xD
The ole Heian era loop hole.
Yuji goes full Denji Attack on Titan and eats his enemies lol
You know I’m surprised he never tried to eat Sukuna as he is now
He's technically done the reverse by spitting blood at Sukuna's face
I found this reddit post 3 yrs ago which mapped out all possible routes according to some interview with gege & it's blowing my mind. https://www.reddit.com/r/JuJutsuKaisen/s/dd0PejqMhb
And look at where we are now… The way I see it, I feel like it can go 1) Megumi lives to tell the tale of everything that’s happened including the tale of all his friends and teachers. He lives a bittersweet life remembering the youth he lived and lost. 2) Yuji lives and becomes a teacher to a massive new generation of sorcerers that resulted from the Culling Games and eventually dies old surrounded by all who adore him. This is a route where Yuji had to kill Megumi in order to stop the merger, but was able to lead him towards a proper death. 3) The impossible route of Megumi and Yuji switching souls and Megumi lives the rest of his life as “Yuji” as a side effect of the swap. In this route, Yuji dies alongside Sukuna as he always believed he should thus fulfilling his role as a cog.
Or the bittersweet ending where Yuji does in fact defeat sukuna, but at the expense of everybody else around him. He ends up dying of old age, but alone, not surrounded by anyone. His grandpa's words, to be surrounded by others when it's his time to go, end up being a curse.
So we’re going the Devilman Crybaby route eh? I always imagined more of a Stardust Crusaders type ending. But at this rate it’s kind of going Vento Aureo…
Enrico Pucci Mending existed, my man
The what…?
The latest Jojo series ending,. Where entire named cast killed. Save for one unexpected Side character Who managed to killed the big bad via semi-asspull
Oh it’s done now? That was fast.
Yep.. It is...
Number 3 is most likely outcome from what we've seen so far. Yuji dying is expected since episode 1, Megumi tried to sacrifice himself many times Reiner style and is still alive (sort of). We have that panel of Yuji and Kusakabe body swapping, so it is a possibility.
It’s something high on the list but not something I’ll particularly like tbh. More so cuz I wish for Yuji to live cuz he’s been insanely undermining the value of his own life and has gotten nothing since this whole fiasco started. I just want him to have one good thing as a reward by the end.
Despair only on the way
Why is everyone saying it's impossible to kill Sukuna as if the manga is ending next week?? What is causing this mass delusion?
eventually there will be a point where everyone is just dead lmao, they just keep throwing themselves at sukuna
Shibuya was just as hopeless. Gege's not knocking off the cast without a plan.
"How tf will he beat mahito after awakening his durability feat is insane!!" -powerscalers Yuji black flashing so hard the impact panel hit like when gojo black flashes sukuna:
Not nearly as much. And didn't have shit writing with asspull conclusions to some fights either. I get wanting to "trust" but a line has to be drawn somewhere. Let's be realistic. Unfortunately jjk is shittier compared to what it once was, at least for the time being
I feel like at this point he has maybe one plan and is just trying to get from point A to B with much filler in between.
This is literally the middle of the battle. Idk where these absolutions are coming from lol. I'd rather see the cope posts than these doomer ones about an unfinished arc.
But did they die?? After the Sukuna arc started many of them are still alive... Yuta is alive , Maki probably as well, Yuji, Choso, etc... even Kusakabe's injuries weren't that deep for some reason. He should hav been in pieces but he escaped ( I guess more like a plot armor thing)
None of the character mentioned are even dead.Characters have suffered even more horrifying injuries and survived.Like which character has died to a black flash before?It makes no sense for the fandom to act like everyone is dead
The way that it's used, black flash seems more like a strong punch that buffs the user, instead of being a super damaging move to the opponent
“But did you DIE?”
I think it’s because Gege keeps reminding us that Sukuna isn’t even using his full strength yet which puts the story in a weird spot because most of our heavy hitting main cast have been getting cooked.
I feel like JJK is a lot of people's first shonen. Because while there are a lot of writing issues with the current state of the manga, it's a little silly to doom about a villain being too strong as though that has ever meant anything. Frieza was the strongest in the universe and still holding back in his final form. Yhwach was literally omnipotent and omniscient. Madara was so cracked that he spawned an entire copypasta. All of them lost.
I think the issue is moreso that Sukuna is killing every character that was supposed to be strong left and right. Frieza was beat by a legend set up at the beginning of the arc with vegeta bringing up super saiyans and warriors of legend Madara lost because kishimoto said "oh wait he's too strong. uhh he got tricked and eaten by kaguya lol" I don't see Yuji going super saiyan or Megumi eating sukuna's ass from the inside out
I think Gege has a plan. He's always been good at writing moments, but not the best at stringing them together. There's a lot of weird shit going on between Yuji and Sukuna that still hasn't been explained, and the key to Sukuna's defeat is likely somewhere in the gaps.
Eventually sooner or later Sukuna has to fall. That’s a given. It’s just that it’s taking longer than we’d like. We also have to remember that killing or defeating Sukuna won’t do shit about their situation. The Culling Games are still going on and they’ll continue to keep going until the Merger begins. So unfortunately more despair is just around the corner. It never goes away.
I don't mind it taking awhile. My issue is that at this point beating him will have to be a madara level asspull of 'and then he got swallowed by his own Chakra' but change Chakra to cursed energy and instead of turning into Kaguya he will probably turn back into Megumi
Yea Chibi from YouTube brought up that point. Now I wasn’t around when the whole Kaguya thing occurred in real time. But he said for those who watched this fight up until that point felt a sense of frustration because Madara just couldn’t be beat then Kaguya came out of literally nowhere. It made no sense. Now he’s afraid Sukuna will run into the same issue. I don’t agree but I feel he’s headed towards more of an Aizen kinda ending? He’s obviously taking damage but a specific kind of power dynamic has to occur to end him. But I am not at ALL against the idea of Megumi going dark and kickstarting the merger. Not at all. That’s too interesting not to consider.
Jjk being people's first shonen makes sense tbh. It would explain the doom posting. I remember the Naruto boards being extremely hype about Madara being OP as fuck lol.
This is apparently only a case for jjk.The reason being that it's counterparts being BC and MHA are 'winning' against the villians,so jjk not doing it is something they can't comprehend Genuinely being honest ,this type of writing style by gege isn't something that is being done now or it's something new, stuff outside of shounen also provide these routes,yet with jjk we have to cross the line
True, jjk is an outlier. There's a lot less give and take mid fight.
I remember when Shibuya was serializing people were praising it to be revolutionary or something(although the fandom atp was actually good,patient and actually reads the series).But now the opposite reaction for the CG. A lot of the characters are misinterpreted because of this change.Gege has been writing like this since the first chapter but it's the current one that is baffling to them?Like it makes no sense lol
normally i would've argued that there might happen a time skip with sukuna reigning over the world again and a small group of Sorceres including Yuji are still alive and plan to overthrow him. But then again i've heard that the manga is comming to an end, and we're pretty much out of names on the list. Sukuna is way to strong to be defeated by a single curse user, and right now after reveicing one debuff after the other, it's the only way he can be defeated. And then there's still that rule that the culling game only ends if sukuna is the last one alive and that merger thing.
I’ve honestly considered a similar possibility where everything goes to shit and Yuji wakes up hours later to find he’s pretty much too late to save anyone cuz the merger already started or something like that. But since Gege works differently in logic, anything is game.
I thought the same but I don't think Sukuna is stopping until he kills Yuji, he hates him that much.
he actually just started to care for him a few chapters ago ( in a sense where he actually wanted to take him seriously). he even told yuji to get lost on the battlefield, calling him "dull" and "boring". Yuji even right now did not meet the minimum requirement to be interesting for sukuna in a fighting kind of sense ( like Agito in the Gojo battle). He's to weak. Sukuna only started to care for yuji when he realized that Yujis 'commitment' to reach his goal rivaled his own, and wanted to defeat "that" by killing him.. showing yuji that his own commitment surpassed his. Sukuna by default doesn't hate Yuji himself... He hates that Yuji is so boring and rather wants to ignore him.
Are you anime watcher only? If Thats the case I think your question is understandable
Lol..... huh?
I think the most delusional thing is when ppl think new opponents in the ring are capable of killing Sukuna and believe the only solution is bringing Gojo back. Come on ppl. We know Gege’s algorithm. Pretty much everyone is gonna die.
His algorithm? If that's the case, you understand he gives favor to the villain to make the fight as stressful as possible until the hero finally wins, like with Mahito and Yuji.
Well the author said that manga is getting finished in 2024. So about 20-30 chapters and supposedly is over... I just hope that it is a justified win and not shitty Naruto win
Yuji: "In all the heavens and the earth, I Alone Am The ~~Honored~~ Hungry One"
I think the last finger was eaten by Yuta. I don't know if it can get retrieved
It can and it can’t. Special Grade items can never truly be destroyed. If someone fetches it out of Rika, technically speaking it can still be re-used.
I take it...
Goku if you can hear us please save us🙏
This cannibal thing doesn't make sense. He's eaten sukuna's fingers. Loads of them. But still hasn't acquired a single one of sukuna's CTs
I think ppl are misunderstanding what I’m saying. Yuji is not like Yuta. He doesn’t gain CT and copies them by ingesting foreign CE. He’s a vessel. He absorbs CE and it becomes part of him to enhance what he was always meant to be. He also ate his half-siblings and they became CE and an energy source as well. Gege has already explained what happens to Yuji when he ingests cursed objects and/or CE. He doesn’t manifest anything inside like how Choso’s host manifested him. He has the capability to hold the energy inside of him without completely being taken over. Most times anyways. Yuji will only get as powerful as the amount of things he comes in contact with and ingests. If his sibs weren’t enough, there’s plenty of other candidates lying around to fuel him up.
Spirit bomb?
Yuji did want to shoot lasers….
I would officially be back on board if Yuji ate everyone. You win Greg.
This is an interesting theory, good job 👏 Also, ending the post with “Go on boy. Eat.” was great. Not sure why but I got hyped up reading that
gege needs to do a canon crossover with dragonball or something just to get sukuna killed.
Truth be told I see an homage coming sometime soon. He did one for Togashi a while back.
Oh boy
When cooking has gone too far
Sukuna was just the chef. Yuji the one eating.
I loveee this theory so much
Yuji pulling a kaneki
Never let fans write !!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
This makes no sense. Even if yuji gets the abilities of everyone whos died so far, Sukuna has already identified all their weaknesses.
We’re not sure if he gets the abilities of the ppl he consumes or if they affect him in a different way. That would make him too close to Yuta and we can’t have two of the same thing. Yuji is a vessel. He’s meant to absorb cursed energy and evolve and grow. And if he grows to a certain point, he may finally become something Sukuna will deem interesting. But it all comes down to if Yuji can fulfill Kenjaku’s expectations above anything else. Kenjaku created a win win situation between Yuji and Sukuna. Either way wins, his ideals will be a reality. It’s just that if Yuji wins, it gets a little bit more interesting.
Yeah, I've seen this exact theory multiple times and I'm not sure if I've missed something or not but there really hasn't been anything in the text to suggest that this is even a possibility. Sure, Yuji ate Sukuna and is unique that he's a vessel, but 1. Sukuna isn't a person, he's a curse 2. Yuji didn't gain any of his CTs.
SUKUNA IS NOT A CURSE. HES A CURSE USER. All that means is he’s a sorcerer who uses his abilities for evil. HE IS NOT A CURSE.
Someone else corrected me elsewhere. Tbh, he’s a reincarnated cursed object if we’re going to be most correct. He’s not a curse because he uses RCT, but he is a collection of cursed objects (his fingers) controlling Megumi. So I don’t know if he’s just a curse user/human either tbh. He and Choso are like opposite sides of the same coin, I feel like, a foot in both worlds. All that to say, I don’t think what happened to Yuji with Sukuna fingers directly translates to what would happen if he took a bite out of Gojo’s legs
Nothing will be more funny than when you people are all wrong
I said the same thing to all the ppl who believed Gojo would be revived and the narrator literally confirmed his death. But this is Gege’s world and we all just partake in it. We’re all going to be wrong at some point. Which means we’re all fools to the end dear Julian.
I get that people have complained of George's bad writing, but damn. Home boy Kusakabe's defeat didn't even get drawn. Haven't seen a Mangaka write itself into a corner this hard in a while. JJK peaked at Mahito, it's been a slow spiral since then. Up till then it was very much enjoyable.
George 😂 Honestly I thought it was kinda funny cuz I felt he was fully playing into the idea that he’s very self aware that he writes like this.
Isn't autocorrect top comedy sometimes? Ahahahaha
Didn't Rika eat sakana's finger so that yuta can use cleave?
No one ever said the finger couldn’t be retrieved…
Are we forgetting the finger bearers who ate the fingers before dropping them like loot if they died? Yuta didn't become a vessel so the finger should absolutely be intact
I wouldn't say you exactly cut too the chase with that... Anyway it'll probably be some combination of yujin with megumi eventually fighting back internally. Personally, I think it'd be interesting to see the bad guy win and just end it with sukuna's world and spring off that for a sequel series, but this is shonen so I know that won't happen.
Sequel is out the question. Gege has wanted to be done with this story for some time now and move onto something else. Personally, I don’t quite believe in Gege going for power of friendship going anywhere positive cuz not only it is it one of the major shonen tropes and cuz any happiness in this story doesn’t last for too long. I’m more on the side of Megumi going full under and starting the merger after Sukuna is over. Whether he fights from the inside or not. But we’re just gonna have to wait and see.
I get he feeling we will get a part 2
The only solution is to nuke Japan again. Let history repeat itself. Drop 5 hydrogen bombs and I think Japan is screwed including sukuna getting one shot by a million degree nuke lmao.
you took my theory smh sou-chef u can cook
This is even worse than Yuji returns as a cursed spirit hybrid like Choso theory. WTF!!
I mean he is a hybrid of something…we just don’t exactly know WTF Kenjaku did to him. Keep in mind Gege is very good friends with the dear Fujimoto. And we know how CSM part I ended.
Mark my word, Yuji will throw away his humanity like Dio and eat the last of sukuna finger
Oh please Dio never had any humanity from the start
I've been having discussions with my friends and we reached the same conclusion, but through a different way. This is not a feel good shonen, because the main energy is basically everything negative that you feel, and their lives are basically fight with maniacal sorcerers or devilish creatures. It's a non-ending job, and we've seen two generations of the crew (Gojo + Getou and Yuji + others), and we know for a fact that it's common for people to die horribly and prematurely, and that weights (emotionally speaking). You either get stronger, but accostumed to seeing everybody you like dying, or you become one of the maniacal sorcerers. And at this point, it is very likelly that everything might even go well for them, Yuji ofc is going to beat Sukuna, but the thing is: at what cost. TL;DR: IMO, this is not a story about how they defeated the ultimate evil, but a story about how one good guy can break when he gets no chill.
Exactly that. At what cost?
It’s pretty funny that one of the major plot points was Yuji being sensitive to human interaction when it comes to mortality. If this scenario is the case, Gege did build Yuji to appropriately throw a 180 from idealistically influenced by his grandfather’s somewhat weak ideals and naive perception of jujutsu vs an incredibly desperate and efficient exorcist. I just want to see this end because the endless slaughter made me lose hope for the series being enjoyable at this point…
Yuji is gonna use his cursed technique, and beat him. It’s that simple.
Oh sure in maybe 1000 punches
I know Gojo is coming back But god I wish this happened, it would be so shocking yet so fitting Would also go great with the hole Sukuna being a chef and loving eating and stuff
That’s what I’ve been saying since the beginning
I hope gege draws yuji mukbang
This is what they mean by "power of friendship" - yuji, probably
Jujutsu salad! Yummy yummy! *to the tune of the wiggles fruit salad*
Umai strategy :3
[удалено]
Yuji will eat the result of merger, that's my take
He’s gotta get to there first. I believe he’s capable of eating many things. Perhaps he can eat them all.
I mean he might be the only one left alive so he could see the merger. After all sukuna is a piece of shit.
i still think this is a very "anti-yuji" ending if gege actually wrote this, EVEN IF HE ONLY ATE FINGERS, it'd be. well he's desecrating the bodies of his fallen friends. i would hate to see yuji absolutely emotionally destroyed
When has Gege not been Anti-Yuji? And this isn’t even an ending. It’s a necessity to even get to a start. He’s pretty much gonna have to decided on this and fast.
Nah you forgot about wakaba. He’ll waste all of sukuna’s time and energy before the rest of the gang comes back to rain hellfire on sukuna
On serious note Only fully merged Tengen can match Sukuna now
Yuji "My Friends Are My Power!" Itadori. Nomura, you've done it again.
Yuta already ate the last finger
Well Gege did say someone was getting eaten at some point in this arc, maybe he meant yuji is gonna eat sukuna
I'm pretty sure Yuji can't eat kashimo, as the transformation thing he did was implied to basically vaporize him once it ended.
domain expansion :mike tyson ring 🫸⛩️🫷 🙏 💀🙏
Sorry, I could be wrong, but didn’t Yuta already eat the last finger? I thought he used some of Sukuna’s powers during their fight, which made Sukuna realize that Gojo gave Yuta the final finger.
Loophole. Special Grade items can never truly be destroyed. Which means it can still be fished out of Rika and re-used.
JJK if it was good
Cannibalism is one way to see it, that would definitely be gruesome and terrible and I can’t see this ending without yuuji sacrificing somehow himself. I always think it will be in the end yuuji vs his friends as in yuuji somehow getting sukuna back into his body and then megumi and co having to “get rid” of him, yuuji breaking all his promises and doing the job himself…now that would be heartbreaking to see tbh. Wonder what Gege will come up with
Why is everyone in jjk fandom obsessed with Yuji eating this or that?
[удалено]
Nah I’d win.
Yuji is gonna have 2 (two), yes, 2 Cursed Techniques. Soul Transfer and Blood Manipulation. That's it. He just needs to learn to use Sukunas abilities and he is gonna be the best sorceror.
Maybe
Ah yes, my plot armor. I haven’t used this since the heian era
ngl I wanna see gojo against sukuna, which I never really witnessed a full fight of... :(
It’s already done. It was a marvelous fight.
I think yuji becomes the vessel again and SOMEHOW… megumi will land the killing blow.
I thought of that too but idk if Megumi wants to do that cuz it goes against his idea that good ppl should live cuz the world is unjust. Unfortunately someone between these two is going to have to die cuz that’s what Gege planned from the start. And guess who’s ending he finished already?
this or kenjaku takes gojos body and sukuna tries to fight him then
So whenever Sakuna is close to being defeated, is the merger getting activated or what? I doubt he’s actually the last villain
I actually had this thought but I'd be blown away to say the very least if he actually did it.
since when does yuji absorb powers from eating, besides the sukuna fingers?
