“It’s over. I have already depicted you as the soyjak (mahito) and me as the chad (sukuna)“pic.twitter.com/SHTyxiMxPF
Mahito literally had a “We’re blasting off again!” moment when Sukuna just left like “Nah” lolPretty funny way to end the show with lovable/punchable Mahito getting salty
We love Mahito slander around these partspic.twitter.com/HTKGDsXkdm
tbh I think having the spirit that’s the literal embodiment of death be the only character that refuses to move on from dying is kinda cool.(maybe he doesn’t want to reincarnate because he took what yuji said to heart)
While some fans ruled the ending as haphazard, it is quite the opposite. The finale underscored the theme of choices. It further outlines the idea of free will the characters have.
Gege Akutami outlined the idea of free will in his series.
Despite their circumstances,Gege Akutamigives characters free will in their series. This is relevant to most characters. The concept of free will is intermingled with choices. Yuji consumes the cursed object to protect his friends. In doing sohe chooses the difficult road. However, we’ve barely scratched the surface with this one.
Maki Zenin partakes in the clan massacre. The Zenin clan massacre is integral to her development. Especially since the clan symbolizes tyranny. She breaks free from a vicious cycle. In doing soshe puts an endto the clan’s abuse.
The same free will extends to Sukuna. He is given a choice by Yuji. Yuji stirs up emotions within him. The finale reflects on Sukuna’s conscience and free will. This is further reflected in his breaking away from Mahito.

All in all, the finale had several fans divided. Especially with Sukuna’s fate. Akutami deviated from conventional endings. In his move to do so, he reflects a unique perspective. As sinister as the King of Curses may be, his end was well-deserved.
