It is a known fact thatJujutsu Kaisenis a celebrated Shonen series. From its animation to well-written female characters, it takes the cake. However, Gege Akutami isn’t exempt from criticism. This holds especially true for killing off fan-favorite characters. However, they might have salvaged themselves with this move.
With the manga nearing its end, Akutami gave an unexpected ending. From Yuta’s return to Mahito’s comeback, it took a 360-degree turn. Moreover, Yuji’s ‘pep talk’ with Sukuna garnered an array of fan reactions on X. This hints at Akutami’s inspiration from Masashi Kishimoto’s magnum opusNaruto.
Fans on X react to Sukuna’s decision in Jujutsu Kaisen chapter
Jujutsu Kaisenhas its fair share of plot twists and revelations. From Kenjaku’s identity to Yuta’s return, some moments were unanticipated. Yuta is one of thestrongest sorcerersin the series. This is attributed to his training with Gojo as his protege. Moreover, the recent chapters paved the way for an unexpected ending by the mangaka.
The mangaka is critiqued for theirfavoritism toward Sukuna. From Yorozu to Gojo, Sukuna has killed some major sorcerers in the series. The King of Curses is established as an unparalleled character. However, the recent chapters point to his possible overhyping.
One Jujutsu Kaisen Panel Makes it Obvious Gege Akutami was Never Meant to be a Shonen Writer and the Manga Ending Might be for the Best
An X user@TenSNeoposted a panel of Chapter 268 of the manga. The thread triggered an array of fan reactions.
Oh, for sure! Because nothing says “I’ve learned about love” like a mass-murdering curse suddenly wanting to play nice with others. Can’t wait to see Sukuna’s charming attempt at a normal life!
I loved sukuna going “I lost so… Why would I go on the same path again? Maybe will be fun to try something different”
scary mahito cameo but it makes sense because i can see it since both of them had contrasting relationships with yuji. they both showed the two routes you can go after having influence from yuji imo
Even this I cannot hate on. Gege cooked with sukunas conclusion and even yujis. Now yes the rest of the world building went to shit but this ending is now a 6/10
Akutami’s portrayal of choice in Chapter 268 had fans divided. Although, it doesn’t negate its similarity to another Shonen masterpiece.
Gege Akutami may have borrowed one aspect from Masashi Kishimoto’s magnum opus, Naruto
Gege Akutamihas citedMasashi Kishimoto’smagnum opusNarutoas their inspiration. The celebrated Shonen series has inspired several concepts for Gege’s manga. Be it three-cell characters or their designs; their series are deemed as a knock-off. This holds especially true with similar tropes. However, this extends beyond Maki’s clan massacre and Gojo’s loneliness.
Chapter 268 outlined the famoustalk-no-jutsufrom Kishimoto’s series. From Gaara to Obito, the hero reduced the arch antagonists with this aspect. However, Akutami’s use of this aspect was unanticipated by most fans. The choice and perspective garnered an array of reactions from most viewers.
Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 271: Did Gojo Come Back From Death?
All in all, Yuji’s talk-no-jutsu with Sukuna is a novel take. This holds especially true with his defeat. The instilling of choice and redemption is a major breakaway from conventional storytelling. While this move may not sit well with most readers, it is what it is. Regardless of that, Akutami excelled in their portrayal of complex themes in their manga.
Jujutsu KaisenandNarutoare available for streaming on Crunchyroll. Both manga are available to read on Viz Media.
