As Gege Akutami wraps up the saga, the ending presents a mix of closure and emotional resonance for the series’ dedicated followers. Here’s a breakdown of the final events that shape the conclusion of Jujutsu Kaisen.
Sukuna’s Confrontation with Megumi
In Chapter 268, Sukuna, now inhabiting Megumi’s body, attempts to manipulate him into surrendering. He questions how Megumi can continue living a normal life after the atrocities he has committed, including the death of his own sister. Despite Sukuna’s psychological tactics, Megumi remains defiant, mocking the curse and declaring his commitment to live for others, not himself.
Megumi highlights Sukuna’s desperation, asserting that if Yuji manages to extract Sukuna’s soul, the curse will ultimately be defeated. This leads to a confrontation where Yuji intervenes, delivering a powerful blow to Sukuna that disrupts his hold over Megumi. Yuji expresses gratitude for not succumbing to the curse’s influence, inviting Sukuna to reconsider his existence, but Sukuna, proud and unyielding, chooses death instead.
