The latest chapter of “Jujutsu Kaisen” has sparked a wave of criticism among Japanese fans due to how the final battle against Ryomen Sukuna and his apparent final death was resolved. This chapter also marked the long-awaited return of Megumi Fushiguro and Nobara Kugisaki to the protagonist trio. However, many consider that the resolution in just two chapters ended up being 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 'In just 5 chapters everything will be resolved?!', but suddenly it turned into 'What are they going to do in the next 3 chapters?!''». This comment highlights the confusion and concern regarding the accelerated pace at which final events are unfolding.

Another user mentioned: «Sukuna, in the end, ended it very simply». This suggests that the final confrontation against Sukuna fell short of many fans' expectations in terms of emotion and narrative development. Additionally, there were remarks about the use of sorcery in the final confrontation, with one comment noting: “In the memory of the confrontation between Hakari and Uraume, everyone is resurrected with Takaba's 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 story's conclusion, showing the characters and how they adapt after the final battle.».

The plot also receives criticism for not adequately addressing certain elements, such as the new type of cursed energy and its global implications. One fan commented: “I wonder how the topic of the new cursed energy that came to America and the 'cursed energy of overcoming' that has been mentioned but not resolved will be handled?».

Finally, some comments suggest that the story could move to 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 reviews reflect widespread concern about the way the series' climax was handled, with many fans expressing that the resolution did not live up to expectations generated by the previous plot development.

• «Jujutsu Kaisen, the atmosphere was 'In just 5 chapters everything will be resolved?!', but suddenly it turned into 'What are they going to do in the next 3 chapters?!'».
• «The author Akutami-sensei is amazing, he is collecting all the ideas that are above the speculations on the internet».
• «In the memory of the confrontation between Hakari and Uraume, everyone is revived by Takaba's spell after dying. Zenin Naoya revives due to some mistake.».
• «Sukuna ended it very simply in the end».
• «I remember experiencing the same feeling of 'What are they going to do in the next 4 chapters?!' → 'It's going to end in 3 chapters?!' → 'What are they going to do in 2 chapters?!' during the 'Death War' arc, so I wouldn't be surprised if something similar happened here.».
• «I really think the author is capable of creating a single chapter story that spans from the Heian Period to the Okkotsu Arc. Although that is just wishful thinking».
• «I'm curious to see how they'll handle the issue of the cursed new energy that has come to the United States. Also, although the 'escape of the cursed energy' that Kizuki mentioned didn't come true, will the story end with 'our struggle continues'?».
• «They should describe the impact of revealing the existence of the curses to the public. Furthermore, considering that the US military has been mobilized and many curses have devoured people, it seems dangerous if they cannot control the situation. Energy issues are discussed all over the world and if there is no control over the information, it could lead to a war. Okkotsu could solve the problem nationwide.».
• «The next chapter will show who died and who survived, then the epilogue will deal with the resolution of the 'Death War', and the ending could jump forward several years to show the future of the characters, or it could jump forward 70 years to show the end of Itadori.».
• «That's why they should definitely introduce Tengen fused with ordinary people at the end and start the second part of the series».
