Jujutsu Kaisen, the thrilling supernatural battle series, has been gripping fans with its fast-paced action and complex storylines. However, what has recently caught everyone’s attention is the revelation that the series’ ending is not just an afterthought but a well-planned climax known only to its creator, Gege Akutami, and his editor. This detail has sparked intrigue and excitement among the fandom, as they eagerly anticipate what the conclusion holds.
The Mastermind Behind the Finale: Creator Gege Akutami’s Vision
Gege Akutami, the creative force behind Jujutsu Kaisen, has already envisioned the series finale. This endgame was shared exclusively with his editor at Weekly Shonen Jump, Junya Fukuda. Despite the series’ rapid pace and dense plot, Akutami has taken considerable time to craft an ending that promises to be both satisfying and memorable for fans.
The Season Finale for the English Dub of Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 has launched today, January 11th, streaming on @Crunchyroll and @Funimation.

Editor’s Insight: Junya Fukuda’s Confirmation
Adding to the intrigue, Junya Fukuda, the editor of Jujutsu Kaisen, confirmed his knowledge of the series’ ending. He expressed satisfaction with the proposed conclusion, though details remain tightly under wraps. This revelation came during an unexpected encounter with a television host from the One Piece Variety show at Shueisha’s offices.
A Secret Trade? Jujutsu Kaisen and One Piece Endings
In a light-hearted moment, Fukuda joked about disclosing Jujutsu Kaisen’s ending to the One Piece editor, but only if the latter reciprocated with the ending of Eiichiro Oda’s legendary series. This exchange, while humorous, underscores the tight-lipped secrecy surrounding these beloved manga series.
The Path to the Finale: A Timeline of Anticipation
The journey towards the finale has been a topic of discussion for some time. Back in 2021, Akutami surprised fans by announcing plans to conclude the series within two years. This timeline was further hinted at in various posts, including one on Shōnen Jump’s “Mangaka Musing” in January 2023 and more definitively in December 2023, where Akutami hoped for a 2024 conclusion.
What Lies Ahead: Speculations and Expectations
With Jujutsu Kaisen’s rapid narrative progression and the untimely deaths of key characters like Satoro Gojo and Kenjaku, fans are left wondering how much story is left to unfold. Given the time Akutami has spent contemplating the finale, expectations are high for a conclusion that is nothing short of spectacular.
