The popular manga series is nearing its conclusion as pivotal battles wrap up and new alliances emerge. Key character Yuji Itadori, alongside Maru, is working towards a profound transformation in the ongoing conflict between sorcerers and Simurians. Their goal: to create a state of Harmony that could potentially end the cycle of cursed spirits that has plagued their world for centuries.
Tensions escalated recently when negotiations with the Simurians failed following the fatal shooting of Cross, prompting Dabura to issue a duel challenge to the sorcerers. Tsurugi, recognizing the stakes, stepped forward to confront Dabura. The latest chapter, Chapter 21, concluded with Tsurugi’s defeat, even as he was on the verge of victory, aided by Rika. Meanwhile, Yuka Okkotsu remains elusive, hidden within her shadow.
The ongoing battle between Mahoraga and Dabura intensifies, with Itadori making it clear that he prefers not to interfere directly. Despite his apparent detachment, Itadori has accumulated significant power over the years and is now focused on a larger strategy. Following Tsurugi’s loss, Maru reveals to Itadori the oldest Kalyan aboard their spaceship, a pivotal element in his plan to foster peace between Earth’s inhabitants and the Simurians.
Maru’s vision aims to eliminate the birth of cursed spirits, thus breaking a cycle of despair that has persisted for over a millennium. The tension between sorcerers and Simurians largely stems from the former viewing cursed spirits as threats while the latter honors them as sacred. This conflict has resulted in significant losses, including the anguish experienced by Tsurugi and Cross.
Itadori, who has transcended the boundaries of humanity due to his involvement with curses, embraces Maru’s plan. He brings along notes from Yuki Tsukumo, a special grade sorcerer whose research on curses holds potential answers. Yuki’s diary, given to Choso before her death, has since come into Itadori’s possession, symbolizing his commitment to realizing her dreams.
As the story progresses, Itadori and Maru encounter Mahito, whose torment following his absorption by Kenjaku adds another layer to their scheme to eradicate curses. Curses, which have threatened humanity for centuries, continue to proliferate as long as negative emotions exist in the world. The ongoing struggle has claimed numerous lives among sorcerers, raising questions about their purpose and the nature of their fight.
The narrative underscores Yuki Tsukumo’s aspiration to break this brutal cycle of suffering, seeking answers before her untimely demise in her battle against Kenjaku. Her extensive research, preserved in her diary, is now poised to play a crucial role in the characters’ quest for a better future.
As the series unfolds, it provides a glimmer of hope that the characters may finally achieve the resolution they seek. With the defeat of powerful adversaries like Ryomen Sukuna and Kenjaku, the potential for a future free from the burden of curses appears increasingly plausible. As readers anticipate the series’ conclusion, the evolving alliances and intense battles suggest that Jujutsu Kaisen may deliver the impactful ending fans have long awaited.
