Japanese also criticize Jujutsu Kaisen's climax

The most recent chapter of "Jujutsu Kaisen" has generated a wave of criticism among Japanese fans due to the way the final battle against Ryomen Sukuna and his apparent ultimate death was resolved. This episode also marked the long-awaited return of Megumi Fushiguro and Nobara Kugisaki to the leading trio. However, many feel that the resolution in just two chapters turned out to be too rushed and without the expected impact.

Fan comments on social media reflect a mix of surprise and disappointment. One user expressed, "Jujutsu Kaisen, the atmosphere was like 'In just 5 chapters is everything going to be solved?!', but suddenly it has become 'What are you going to do in the next 3 chapters?!'". This commentary highlights the confusion and concern about the accelerated pace at which final events are being handled.

Another user mentioned, "Sukuna, in the end, ended very easily." This suggests that the final showdown against Sukuna did not meet the expectations of many fans in terms of excitement and narrative development. In addition, there were remarks about the use of sorcery in the last confrontation, with one comment highlighting, "In the memory of the confrontation between Hakari and Uraume, everyone is resurrected with Takaba's magic spell after dying, and Zenin Naoya is revived by some mistake."

The acceleration of the pace was also reflected in the discussion about the impact and consequences of the battle. Some fans indicated that "I wouldn't be surprised if, in the next chapter, we see a quick transition to the closure of the story, showing the characters and how they adapt after the final battle."

The plot is also receiving criticism for not adequately addressing certain elements, such as the new type of cursed energy and its implications globally. One fan commented, "I wonder how the issue related to the new cursed energy that came to America, and the 'overcoming of cursed energy' that was mentioned but not resolved, will be handled."

Finally, some comments suggest that the story could move into a new phase, with observations such as: "It is likely that, in the next arc, a new stage will be introduced in the series with the appearance of Tengen and the transition to a second part." The criticism reflects widespread concern about the way the show's climax has been handled, with many fans expressing that the resolution didn't live up to the expectations generated by the previous plot development.

"Jujutsu Kaisen, the atmosphere was of 'In just 5 chapters is everything going to be solved?!', but suddenly it has become 'What are you going to do in the next 3 chapters?!'.
"The author Akutami-sensei is incredible, he is collecting all the ideas that are above speculation on the internet."
"In the memory of the confrontation between Hakari and Uraume, everyone is revived with Takaba's magic spell after dying. Zenin Naoya revives because of some mistake."
"Sukuna ended very easily in the end."
"I remember experiencing the same feeling of 'What will you do in the next 4 chapters?!' → 'Will it be over in 3 chapters?!' → 'What will you do in 2 chapters?!' during the 'Death War' arc, so I wouldn't be surprised if something similar happens here."
"I really believe that the author is capable of creating a story in a single chapter that spans from the Heian Period to the Okkotsu Arc. Although this is just a wish."
"I'm curious to see how they'll handle the issue of the cursed new energy coming to America. Also, although the 'escape from the cursed energy' that Kizuki mentioned was not fulfilled, will the story end with 'our struggle continues'?"
"They should describe the impact of revealing the existence of the curses to the public. Also, considering that the US military was deployed and many curses devoured people, it seems dangerous if they can't control the situation. Energy issues are discussed around the world, and if there is no control of information, it could lead to war. Okkotsu could solve the problem at the national level."
"In the next chapter it will be shown who died and who survived, then the epilogue will be about the resolution of the 'War of Death', and the ending could jump several years to show the future of the characters, or it could jump 70 years to show the end of Itadori."
"This is why they should definitely introduce Tengen fused with ordinary people at the end, and start the second part of the series."
