With Ryomen Sukuna’s reign of terror finally coming to an end,Jujutsu Kaisenfans are wondering how Gege Akutami will navigate the remaining chapters. After enthralling fans with their dark fantasy narrative,JJKmanga is finally approaching its conclusion.
Sadly, Sukuna’s long-anticipated end was concluded in a single chapter, leaving many fans bitterly disappointed. Despite totally dominating his fight against Gojo Satoru, Sukuna met his end at the hands of none other than Yuji Itadori. Since the start of the Culling Games Arc, Gege portrayed Sukuna as a true calamity, an opponent of unmatched strength.
Many saw the King of Curses as the embodiment of evil, but Gege Akutami gave this sinister character the most fitting and remarkable ending.JJKChapter 271 showcased Mahito and Sukuna talking in the afterlife, where Mahito reveals the truth behind Sukuna’s actions. It was no surprise that Mahito appeared at the end of the series, as Gege Akutami always had a special place for the character in their heart.
Gege Akutami’s Unique Bond with theJujutsu Kaisen‘ Most Sinister Character
From thrilling action scenes to compelling characters,Gege Akutamiintroduced every key element to leave a long-lasting impression on the audience. Not to mention, Gojo VS Sukuna was arguably the most anticipated fight of the entire series,leaving many Gojo fans traumatized.

Regardless, fans are celebrating the return of every character who died at Sukuna’s hands, except Gojo, leaving some a bit upset by Gege’s narrative. Uraume also disclosed that Sukuna was defeated not due to Yuji’s strength, but because he was reincarnated in a weaker body. Yuji wouldn’t have accomplished such a notable feat of defeating theKing of Curses without the assistance of Nobaraand Megumi.
In Chapter 271, Sukuna passes on, but he encounters Mahito on the roadway of souls before his soul entirely dissipates. Mahito’s unexpected return in the final chapter, despite being dead for so long, caught everyone off guard. However, you won’t question Gege’s narrativeafter learning that he highly adored Mahito, despite many fans regarding him as a sinister character.
In aninterview, Gege Akutami shared their thoughts and the work that went into creating Mahito’s character. They added:
The principle behind Mahito is quite close to that of Sukuna. I wanted above all to avoid the classic gimmick of “but deep down he’s nice”. Mahito is intrinsically evil, deep down, he only thinks about making humans suffer. But can we totally blame him? It reminds me of Thanos inAvengers: Endgame . In the end, I never felt any hatred for him (laughs).
InJJKSeason 2, Mahito shocked everyone with his actions, solidifying his role as the most sinister character by killing two fan favorites. Mahito is known for his manipulative nature, using his powers and intellect to influence others, particularly humans susceptible to negative emotions.

It’s clear that Mahito and Sukuna share many parallels, and wrapping up the King of Curses’ story by contrasting him with Mahito in the final moments made for a truly fitting conclusion.

Gege Akutami remained secretive about Nobara’s existence throughout their narrative, leaving some fans optimistic about her survival. Nobara played a pivotal role in Sukuna’s execution and remained absent for 100 long chapters as the sorcerer’s final attempt to triumph victory over the King of Curses.
Nobara’s surprise attackcaught Sukuna off-guard and made Yuji aware of her friend’s survival after a long silence spanning 100 chapters. It’s later revealed thatNobara’s existencewas kept hidden from Yuji to keep Sukuna in the dark.
